Blog me...curiosity redefined

        I was watching a TEDx talk from Palki Sharma Upadhyay, a news reader from Wion. Yes she is known for her news series called 'Gravitas' and one thing that stuck my mind in her talk was 'Find your flavor'. The world is competitive, no doubt. We are all moving from macro-competition to micro-competition. With that it would mean, we are not bound by industry-specific competition or even company-specific-competition, it is more individuals competition over other w.r.t skills, intelligence, productivity, offerings, value adds etc.      Let me stick to teaching field for now. What makes a teacher find his niche? Is it the art of story telling? Is it the magic he creates on the stage with his performance? Is it the mesmerizing narration? Is it his command over the content? Is it the thought-provoking questions that he ask? Is it making them create something new?  Or is it just his charisma that the students love?    Oh yeah, the ingredie...

        Today my dad cut a papaya fruit for us to eat. What we all wondered was when it was cut opened, not  a single seed was seen. Isn't it surprising that the very true nature of plants and animals is to reproduce and survive? Of course, we (humans) have one more ability that is not just reproduce but pass on the knowledge gained to the next generation. But seeing an seedless one, just shock me.       After all, we all strive to survive and prosper. But in the midst of this so called survival, I just hope humans have not dominated to the extent that we have killed the instinct of survival of many other living things in this world. Did our greed of growing more plants led to increase in chemicals added to plants? Did this have an indirect impact on a seedless papaya? Should we be happy that we dominated over the nature? Or sad that we are about to kill a species?      'Save Soil' initiative by Isha foundation Sadguru, is one solut...

          Did you look at your face today in the mirror when you got up? I did. My hair stood out like a Rockstar's spiky hairstyle. After all I am happy I did not had to spend Rs500 at saloon for this. My own  early morning look at times amazes me.            When I look back at my life journey, I know things did not work out the way I wanted it to be. But isn't it part of the bigger plan that I mapped out to? Rather than worrying for the things not in control of myself, it it indeed a blessing that meditation is helping me to let go of things. Ever made a fool of yourself, if the answer is 'no', believe me you have not lead your life to the fullest.           Smile, life is just a play. We are damn too serious in it. Relax, just have fun.              After all, the design is meant for us to be happy. Do what makes you happy.            ...

        There is a gradual shift happening in the way we work, if you can sense it.  Yes this transformation is making us confined to our homes. The workplace is shifting to a small table or a couch at home. This is physical infrastructural shift, of course.        The other shift is the ability to remember or even process the information inside our brains is being handed over to machines.  Take a peek at the Alexa or Siri, the tools that are aiding human beings. These tools are easing out our life but also making us remember less. If you do not feel it now, you will in at least a decade from now.       Fast forward to 2050, we might even be creating, playing, colloborating inside the META world.  Imagine the workplace is our bean bags at home, wearing a VR goggles, a simple touch or even a thought is making the robot write a program for us.  Where does that lead to the human evolution as such. Aren't w...

        I was looking at a short video on Instagram on two guys stopping a truck carrying pigeons. They did something that amazed most of us, freed the birds. What a happy sight it was! It is after all the freedom that we are seeking in what we do. Be it the birds or animals or even the humans.         Wish we all have that kind of freedom in life to enjoy and do what we like. In fact, it is there. Just waiting for us to embrace it.  If only we know how to change our mindset, our frequencies will be reciprocated by the universe. If freedom is all that we seek, then don't stop. Poster created in Canva with help of template         Probably seeking freedom and solace is ultimate form of blessings. It is in this soul searching mindset that we find the path God has designed for us. May we get what we pray for.        To elevate to the higher self, we can try raising our frequencies. Yes one such way is just...

       We are what we do in our free time. It defines us, isn't it?  In the midst of this hectic life, I suppose what we do during our free time relaxes us, creates us, makes us, and even lives with us. If your job itself is your hobby, congratulations on a happy path ahead. If it is not, then it is our duty that we make sure our hobbies are fulfilling enough to make our lives richer.          Art, in any form, is considered the pinnacle of creativity. If your hobby is to be an artist for an hour a day, then we don't need a doctor for sure. Let the curiosity and imagination go wild in you.      I truly believe each hobby can teach you a skill or two that you can cherish in life. In fact, we truly get to know ourselves when your hobby itself is your passion. The learnings are immense. Imagine creating a world that is so full of life....my fantasy world is defined below: a) Making this earth greener and a happy place by clea...
