Blog me...curiosity redefined

    Today is the last day of 2021. My way of entertaining myself is: going to a movie. What else is better than the recently hyped "83", a story of the 1983 Cricket World Cup won by the Indian team.      It is a sports inspirational movie. Cricket in India is not a sport, it is a religion, as the saying goes. We worship Cricketers. But it all began in 1983, before that it was just a game. It is a movie worth watching, with a great performance by Ranveer Kapoor as Kapil Dev, the captain.         Few scenes are so heart-touching that they can bring down tears on your cheek. Like the rejection of the Indian team in Lord's ground as we were not yet recognized and respected in the cricketing arena yet. The financial situation of the Indian team was so bad that they were struggling to extend their return flight ticket for the semi-final and final game. When the cricketers got 15 pounds per day and Kapil had to wash his own clothes as it costs ...

           Art or Heart! "It takes a heart to understand an art" - my own quote.      Do you believe that art can destress a human? If not, start believing in it. It does wonders. It heals, conquers, encapsulates, frees the soul. Ever felt like you spent 5 minutes but actually, you had spent 2 hours, art can do that for me. I would like to call that an 'Art Therapy'.     Just the sheer messy hands, few scribbles, don't actually make us an artist. It is what lies beneath the skin, the creative thinking ability, imaginary concepts, theme behind the sketches, cause attached to the artifact, etc.    The pleasure of viewing and creating something out of just ordinary stuff is so satisfying and fulfilling. The love, beauty, sensuality, creativity just keeps on going. I found a passion for creating some sketches for sure. Do write to me if you see beauty in everything around you?       Let the art flourish! 

        Oh great! Finally, we understood what God has created for us. After all, we have been boasting about inventions, when actually we have only been rediscovering them. For instance, we thought we invented AI (Artificial Intelligence) but we just found out the way our neurons work in the brain and discovered how to implement it in machines.       Photo courtesy - Internet         Now the latest addition to our so-called invention is 'Metaverse' (of course, it is still in the making) but imagine the hype behind it. We are just mere discoverers who seek the thrill of observations, categorizations, and implementations.           Who said we are not already in a Metaverse? If only we knew how the God simulation is and our characters are created at the hands of His, then we can only try and mimic the model again in VR (virtual reality). Yes, we will all have different avatars in the Metaverse, ...

    Why do we work? Isn't it to satisfy either our basic needs or wants or to fulfill our desires? If it is true, then what happens when you fulfill these? Do you want to quit your job? Of course, yes. That would be the obvious choice as one achieves financial freedom, we no longer need the job. But the question here is can employees quit the job at will (without notice) or should they quit formally (with resignation and serving the notice period)?  Most of the employees would prefer at-will for informal and ad-hoc jobs like part-time ones, interns. No for critical jobs as employee needs the service experience letter which obviously would be provided once you serve the notice period.                                                photo courtesy - Pinterest   "Everyone has the right to work, to free choice, to employment, to just...

        Accept, accept and accept. The only word that can change a life. But why am I repeating it? Maybe I want it to sink into my subconscious mind. Btw it has already sunk.         In order to change something, first, we need to learn to accept it. Look at us, we are so vulnerable creatures in this world. We lock up in the house for a tiny organism (coronavirus) for years. We tend to fall for the work pressure and get depressed. We forget the true purpose of our birth and just live haphazardly.  Yet, we consider ourselves the most intelligent species out there. What an irony.        If at all, we knew how to live. Lao Tzu, the Chinese philosopher once said "He who knows enough is enough, will always have enough". Photo credit - Internet               Wish we all knew this, at the time of birth. Instead, we take years to learn and relearn the already said things. What a waste of ti...

        Being experimentative is what has kept me alive as of today. If I can't try new things, then what is the point of living, isn't it? Yes, it is risky, and that's what makes it even more interesting. I would rather deep dive into the sea and look at its sand bed than to merely watch the fishes from the boat. There is a certain thrill to it for sure.  After all, these thrills are what make life so interesting.        I have tried my hand at cooking, data entry jobs, meditation techniques, blogging, investing in shares, cryptos, NFTs, etc. In fact, I have researched many other topics like organic farming, spiritual exploration, design thinking, elevating ourselves to higher thinking, etc. What really bores me is when I don't do this stuff.       Yes, it is not easy, when all odds are against you. The world surrounding me pushed me to be stable, in all areas, job, work-life, thinking process. But it is the inner drive t...

        I heard that when you are lost, God will find you. In fact the search for ultimate truth, leads us to loose ourselves. The biggest challenge is having the courage to lose ourselves when the whole world around you are after some goals or purpose. Have you tried leading a purposeless life?         Easier said than done, leading a purposeless life is a daunting task by itself. But when the God's design is such that you are led to storm and the only way out is to seek for him or let everything go. I just remembered that not all storms come to disrupt our life, some clear our path as well.       Even in meditation, we all need an object to concentrate initially. Be it your breath, nose-tip or candle light end that becomes an object. As we progress, the meditator, object and the universe becomes one. We lose ourselves and become one with the ultimate consciousness. In the same way, what if we lose ourselves and let be part of...
