Blog me...curiosity redefined

     I just happen to watch a good speech by Andrew Ng on youtube on AI & how it can empower businesses of any scale. Please watch it before you read my blog: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reUZRyXxUs4     All due respect to him, we don't need democratization of AI, but democratization of sustainable villages (like Auroville experimental village in India) as we are impacting the environment/natural resources in the name of AI. Humans don't need more education but rather less of it. We need more of wisdom & values than education.     Man is known for his 'constructive destruction' nature...and we call this as evolving. Being an Indian, I believe in ancient wisdom of ours. Even the bell curve applied to a human life tells us once you reach a certain height of gaining information or knowledge, the next step is to let go of it. After all, wisdom comes only with let go.     We are on the wrong path by giving aw...

     I always wondered what makes Humans creative. Is it brought up? Is it the in-born talent? Even if we are not born to be creative, is it a skill that can be learned? Yes, it can be learned. In fact, any skill can be learned, if we have the dedication. But the question is how?     First I would say, 'Stop thinking'. Yes, the ultimate goal for Humans is to stop being who we are and let the supreme being guide us. It is the best way to be creative. I know, easy said than done. It takes practice to just empty your trash(brain). But there is no alternative. Inner w isdom will give the necessary insights for us to become creative.   Second, 'be a child'. We are had and even now have the child in us. We just have to invoke the inner child in us. Be curious and observant of the events, incidents, situations around us. Nature has all the answers. Creative juices will flow once we let our observations take precedence.     Third, 'Visualise'. Imagination...

I now know the secret to living. It is simple. 'Just be'. That was easy. Just two words. 'Just' and 'be'. Let me add another word 'yet'. These 3 words are sufficient to live happily. Forgive me, as I am going back again. If only I knew the truth before. Is it ever possible to know the truth beforehand? It is a misconception that I get to know the truth before. Only when the time is ripe, secrets reveal themselves. Let me introspect myself, when does the time become ripe? Is it when you are ready? What does it mean by when a person is ready, the secret reveals itself. Is it the connection with a universal source of energy? Is it the lessons learnt? Is it the escape from the matrix? Don't know what this ready means. But the only thing I know is, the time has come. I am ready. Once you drink the juice of truth, the rest tastes bland. Thinking about what humans strive for their whole life, I was guided to a message that we look to pass the knowledge to o...

    Today morning I stumbled upon a video from Swami Mukundananda that was quite interesting. It was titled " Shri Krishna's Ultimate Advice to Achieve Success And Happiness in Life ". A simple story of how Buddha got his insight from a song sang by a group of village women on their way to fetching the water. If you are truly listening, we are bound to get the message from the universe. As Buddha found the middle path of living, the same as advised by Krishna in Bhagavad Gita, leave the extremes and follow the moderation in everything. You see tighten the strings in Tanpura, but too much tightening will break it.  I am sure my day started good with this note.     Photo courtesy - Internet      Its the same thing even Rumi has quoted. As usual the enlightened ones have got their senses right, don't you think so? Not that I am judging them. It is the result of the wisdom they receive when you seek the absolute truth.       E...

      I am an ordinary person. Believe me, I don't have any regrets in being ordinary. Life too is made of many ordinary moments and we are given a gift to make it extra ordinary. All that we need to do to make it 'extra' is to enrich our mind. No am not referring to the materialistic things that you can possess or can buy to make it better but rather your inner gifts like wisdom, intellect, patience, happiness. In fact the whole world can turn upside down if you can build yourself.        Last sunday was my third wedding anniversary, me and my wife went to Innovative Film City that is in Bidadi around 15 kilometers from my home to celebrate. We enjoyed the whole day there. One particular thing that made me stand out was the Aqua Kingdom, an artificial beach laid out for fun. Thou not much fond of water, both of us enjoyed the walk on the beach side and the music. After walking in the water (near the shore) for sometime, we settled to our recliner. I...
