The death is REAL! 2024 marked the departure of many known souls from this world, reminding me of the fragility of life. Their untimely departure has put the core of my being in freeze. Each untimely loss has cast a shadow over my spirit, leaving me in a state of reflection and introspection. In such times, I pacified myself with the dialogue from “Anand” Movie “ Babumoshai, zindagi badi honi chahiye, lambi nahi ”. Embracing the moments that matter can genuinely make all the difference. This is the motto I am embracing as I move into another year. This reality check has disconnected my scorpion soul on some deeper level from this world. It seems I have developed a sensitivity and respect for the people in my life at a deeper level. The “plastic” aspects of career, fame, profit, and happiness have revealed their true meaning to me. No, it is not that I have attained nirvana!  It is simply the heart speaking, and the mind has finally embraced these heartfelt truths that...

To put things in honesty, this past year, I have moved from not-required-things-&-people. However, in this journey of “freedom from” and still walking towards “my freedom to” , there are many self-unique emotional and spiritual learnings and reflections. Here is the gist of those- 1. From the arrogance of knowing it all to the humble appreciation of what I know and acknowledgement that much is to be learned or requires further reading or meditation. 2. From “talking at each other” to “talking with each other” to understand others and be understood. 3. From being happy to becoming content . I remain open to receiving the magic of life and thus remain flexible to go with the flow. Now, I realise that unconditional love resides in each of us, but enabling it to be felt by ourselves and conveyed to others requires an inner spiritual awakening first. 4. From being a spouse to being a soulmate and friend . I am grateful to nature for giving me joyful and lovely accompanime...

Here comes the New Year… packed with lots of hope, plans, and to-do lists. To some degree, the planning of the new year resembles the planning of scoring good scores in the examinations. Because to score high we plan to be sincere throughout the academic year, but at times ( which is like always ) there are few to multiple distractions, resulting in a wastage of time and energy and we somehow convince ourselves that “ it is okay ”. On identical grounds, the New Year resolutions are put together with utmost sincerity and affirmative thoughts, however, the zeal, and trance of enthusiasm sometimes continue till mid of the first month, and at other times it refuses to haul to the 2nd day of the New Year.  We get absent-minded and let life make decisions for us. By saying this, I don’t mean to downgrade the implication of New Year resolutions . It may feel like a lie, but you may consent that to bring some amends in life, we need strong resolve which can steer radar in the storms of ex...

  Time to be Grateful W ith a garland of lengthy to-do lists and candies of raw planning and lofty prospects as you shift your calendar appearance … I welcome you dear New Year, Twenty Twenty-Two. But before you embrace me in your valiant journey, let me pay due regard to the year 2021. The earlier 365 days are a standing saga of duty, panics, and surprises. And survival in extraordinary times is attributed to all.   The list of gratitude and applause is long and I feel sanctified to have lived those days in full health…surrounded by people who truly love and care for me. This 1st post of the year is repaying my due regards and acknowledgment to the family & friends...near and far, to Mother Nature, to the community at large, to the books read, to my colleagues at work, to the readers of my blog… to the foolish arguments which brought in smartness, to the silly mistakes which oversaw enormous experiences, etc. In brief, I am thankful for the sky above and to the bot...

Disclaimer- The content is entirely not original. I have attempted to augment my personal experience and thoughts. Have you picked any resolution for this amazing year 2021? If not, please read this warning : More than half of all resolutions fail during the first three months of the year. Pick the Right Resolution!!  A resolution that characterizes you and helps you reach your dream or goal. Don't just copy and paste somebody else's resolution. A lot of resolutions fail because they’re not the right resolutions. And a resolution may be wrong for one of three main reasons: 1. It’s a resolution established on what someone else (or society) is telling you to alter. 2. It’s too vague. 3. You don’t have a practical plan for accomplishing the set resolution. In this smart era, the goals should be smart — really, SMART . That’s an acronym coined in the journal Management Review in 1981 for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound . If it works for management, it ca...
