We know that the life we have and our experience of the outside world are a result of how our internal world works. Our thoughts become reality sooner or later. The moment we are able to consciously create, redesign our thoughts is the moment we begin to carve our destiny consciously. For most of us,…

Hundreds and thousands of festivals are being celebrated in the vast country of India. Cricket is also one among those festivals, especially the IPL (Indian Premier League). Today I noticed a surprising gesture from one of the leading newspapers in India that they were consciously suspending IPL coverage in the tragic aftermath of the second…

Just happen to watch another video on social media that there was a Himalayan rider somewhere in the snow falling, lonely Himalayan highway. He was passing by a group of Indian Army soldiers and the soldier asked the rider to stop and was checking whether he had any food and he just passed his couple…

One of my favourite topics is the art of execution. I believe every great result we see in personal and professional life, in individuals, organizations, and governments, every stunning result is the result of amazing execution. How people design, prioritize and execute things makes the world what we experience today. Executing things means prioritizing and…

I happened to see some videos made and shared by doctors who treat Covid patients in India who broke down and were literally pleading with the public to stay home and wear masks and maintain social distancing to prevent virus infections.

I’m a “writing” person. I remember things when I write them down rather than when saving them as a digital note. You can see such notes almost everywhere around me. On my laptop, my work table, kitchen, beside the main door, the writing pad in the car, and things like that. When we write something…

It was almost 8 years back that an entrepreneur friend of mine introduced me to “The Art of War” by Sun Tzu. The Chinese general Sun Tzu is considered as one of the greatest military strategists ever, like Chanakya in India. The Art of War has always been among my favourite books and I felt…

This evening I was sitting in the balcony of my room chatting with a friend of mine. We could see there were children playing, vehicles passing, a water fountain in the garden, beautiful flowers, and the clouds about to shatter. My friend asked me, “Hey what are you going to write today as your gratitude…
