One of my favorite areas of technology had a thought leader, a very popular figure. I happened to kickstart an association with that gentleman but surprisingly a big misunderstanding occurred between us. In fact, I came to know that he totally misinterpreted one of my actions, I didn’t know whether he understood or whether someone…

day 206 – Cone cells
When I clicked on an image with beautiful flowery patterns, it redirected to a blog which talks about color vision deficiency or color blindness. It was a wonderful article which states that the visual world we perceive with our eyes is unique. Which means that even the way we experience colors is different. For example,…
day205 – Heal within
I watched a TED talk where the presenter said, “Thoughts are the best medicines available to us.” They can cure any wounds and diseases over time. This instantly struck me since I too have this conviction at a very experiential level that thoughts can do miraculous healings. Let’s fill our hearts with thoughts that shower…
day204 – Rose and ocean
I happened to notice a candle with a glass base and exotic fragrance for the first time in Jaipur a couple of years back. I was damn busy those days and I couldn’t buy it from there. Later I searched for the candles often at different places but I didn’t get them. I left it…
day203 – Darjeeling boy
I used to cut my hair and set my beard at my friend’s salon where I have a hairstylist from Darjeeling. When the COVID pandemic started he went home and couldn’t come back and I had to depend on other people at the salon. I tried different people, later different salons, but no one could…
day202 – Asuran
Today the 67th Indian National Film Awards were announced for 2019 and “Asuran” (meaning Demon) won the best Tamil language film, and Dhanush who played the protagonist in it won the best actor of the year. I personally love this movie, and I have watched it multiple times both in theatres and later on OTT…
day201 – Elephant in the room
There is a popular English expression about the “elephant in the room” which means there is an issue, something which is not pleasing, that everyone in the room knows about but nobody wants to discuss because it may hurt someone. But it’s a reality, a truth that needs to be addressed. We always face such…
day200 – 200*
It was an evening in February 2010 when I was in the 6th semester of college that we were all in the canteen watching a match between India versus South Africa on television. Sachin was on the screen and we were all cheering, he scored a fifty, then a century, 130, 150, 180 and 194…
day199 – Year old normal
I was always part of a business owners networking community that prefered physical meetings. I have a Facebook memory – exactly a year back in March 2020 was the first time in history we conducted a completely online meeting via a video-conferencing application joining 60+ entrepreneurs across the state for a breakfast meeting. Time flies,…
day198 – Life after hypersleep
Just happened to notice mind blowing news from Russia that the oldest plant ever to be regenerated has been grown from 32000-year-old seeds. The Russian team discovered a seed cache of Silene stenophylla, which is a flowering plant native to Siberia which happened to be buried by an ice age squirrel near the banks of…
