I was reading a blog written by a philosophy student at The University of London. It was about the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche and his idea of the Apollonian and Dionysian. Apollo and Dionysus are sons of the Greek God Zeus. Apollo is the god of reason and rationality. He’s calm, wise, and logically superior,…

Breaking Bad is among the most highly rated television series on the internet and last year in June I watched all the seasons, 62 episodes. It was a binge-watch! This week I was going through some of my favourite episodes and scenes. And today I was going through a scene of Season 5, Episode 1,…

Love is among the most beautiful feelings in life, and even when it is certain, it is evident that love sometimes limits us. It may be the love of a person or love for some people, place, profession, ideology, habit, many things like that. The moment a feeling overrules your genuine interest in something means…

I have been spending the last couple of weeks at my home with my parents. I have often felt that it’s the ideal place to spend the monsoon 🙂 At night I’m in a room on the first floor which has a window that opens out to our little fruit and vegetable garden in the…

A friend of mine called me today to share and discuss his recent experience ( a bit fearful one) with Deja vu. We talked for almost an hour and at the end of our conversation, he seemed quite relieved. There are many consecrated spaces around the world mentioned by many masters of different schools of…

I was listening to a talk by a world-renowned investor who was talking about price and value. Perhaps because of my ignorance, I often mistake the meaning of each other for other. This confusion remained even when I was learning about financial management as part of management studies. Bur this gentleman put it in the…
