You are Welcome ! Saturdays after dropping my son for his service hours activity I have a few hours to spare. I usually go to a coffee shop and read. Two weeks back I checked if the local library is open and they are. Now that is where I go and sit and read. This is a picture I took from there. As I stood … Continue reading You are Welcome !
Sometimes you feel there is no option to slow down and we have to keep running ! I listened to the Ted Talk by Carl Honoré in 2010 and then I read his “In Praise of slowness” and even connected with him on LInkedIn. Well that was a time when LinkedIn was all fancy 😜 I should be honest that my life has been anything … Continue reading Slowing down with Carl Honore
Are we capable of having a good conversation with anyone. What helps us and what does not ? Someone once asked me if I write every day. Well I want to and I might even be doing it. but I don’t post them every day. I used to but no more. Do I think what I write is worth reading. I wish it was, but … Continue reading Good Conversations
The art of always being ready to “NOT KNOW” what we have to say, and then to forget something completely and knowing that we had to say something but we forcibly tried to forget it. And succeeded. That is important. And then we start afresh like nothing happened. That is even more important ! I know it will not make sense to a lot of … Continue reading The Art of Not Knowing
I have lived in United States for close to 25 years and Thanksgiving has been a tradition I came to know after coming here. Infact Father’s Day, Mother’s Day and Halloween were all alien to me till I came here. I had some sense of Valentine’s Day but not at the scale as it is popular across the globe today. Thanksgiving has over time become … Continue reading Thanksgiving to New Year!
Today I woke up with a message that a dear friend who had not been keeping well is no more. He had lost his battle with ‘The Big C’ I had met him much late in life, in 2020 and we had only met twice in person. Both times we had spend over 3 hours chatting. But we had connected on a range of things … Continue reading Adieu Friend !
There is an existential question that comes to mind at different times… in different ways… Where are we from and where do we belong and where are we going to. There is a physical aspect to these questions and a psychological or for some a spiritual aspect to it. I will try to put my thoughts on both these aspects here. Where I am from … Continue reading 346/365 Where are we from… where do we belong… Where are we going to..?
This is a very loaded question. I can only say I am in the process. As I write this 338th blog post I look back and think of the time I started and why I started. I started because I had stopped writing. I used to blog a lot before. Then I stopped and I had to get back to that process. There is no … Continue reading 338/365 How do we Reinvent ?
My Answer to this question was where I ended my last post. I will repeat that once more. ‘So my simple reason is that to build the kind of future I think I want, reinvention is an absolute necessity.’ Now I can still decide not to reinvent. But again every process of reinvention starts with that urge.. that hunger. How badly do we need it? There … Continue reading 337/365 Should we need to Reinvent ?
The simple answer is because we can. Also the world is changing. What we know is becoming obsolete and insufficient for the future. We have also learned things that are not true any more. Our views that shaped us are also changing. We are still floating on some old stagnant water. It needs to be changed. We need to take a dip or even a dive … Continue reading 336/365 Why do we need to Reinvent ?
