Many times we feel that we have been hustling our whole lives. We are able to understand our hustle when we pause and look back at the whole journey, look into ourselves for that matter. I happened to come across a very beautiful line of thought today. It was very simple – “give yourself some…

day220 – Illusion of control
Some people exhibit a tendency of overestimating their ability to control the events happening around them. The American psychologist Ellen Langer names this non-real feeling or state of mind “the illusion of control.” From examinations, to driving to investments to gambling, in almost in every aspect of life some people tend to exhibit this behaviour…
day219 – Entropy
Entropy is a term primarily used in thermodynamics and statistical mechanics which denotes the degree of disorderliness in a system. The higher the entropy the higher the disorder in the system. What I truly feel is that when we look at the universe, especially at the particle level of matter, there is much disorderliness in…
day218 – Life v/s lifestyle
Recently I read a perspective on life and lifestyle from one of my masters. It said that we should invest and indulge in life and life processes but not much in lifestyle because the enhancement of lifestyle is dependent on our financial well-being. If we depend more on our lifestyle, if that is what we…
day217 – Government
We know that philosophy is the study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence. I happened to read again the French philosoper Joseph de Maistre’s famous statement on democracy, that in a democracy people tend to get the government they deserve!

Nestor, another Greek king, was one of the advisors of Agamemnon, and when the war is about to start, they have a conversation…
day215 – Professional service
Today was the first time in my life I used the service of Packers and Movers. I had to shift some items from one location to another and I was expecting a couple of guys coming and loading the items in a truck and moving but these guys were extremely professional. They kept COVID protocols,…
day214 -Photos
Today I was having a discussion with a friend of mine and we were sharing and talking about our childhood photographs as babies, and when we started going to school, through different ages and the transformations that we have had till now. Actually, when we consciously collect and look at our old photographs it’s only…
day213 – Trillion dollar Musa
I am an entrepreneur and my enterprise falls under the services category. I have always been a fan of entrepreneurs who deal with consumer goods, technically B2C products because the potential of that area of business is infinite. I read an article in the BBC about the richest man who ever in the modern world…
day212 – Waiters
I don’t know how many of you do this but I have the habit of repeatedly ordering the same dish at particular restaurants over and over again. I mostly visit these restaurants at a specific time, I usually repeat the timings precisely too and I have observed that whenever I do go I don’t need…
