Crazzy Mind Doesnot stop yakking!!!

  “Creatio Ex nihilo” (Creation out of nothing) “I made all of this out of nothing…” I always knew this but it is only now that I realize. It made me ponder on the question that if I am created out of nothing, then is it true that I will be going back into being nothing? Is that a reminder for me to rise above daily glitches and realize that life in the end is just to experience to its fullest? It also breaks my heart to accept the fact that there would never be “Always”.   Why is it important for me to believe in always? What if everything doesn’t matter? What if the whole purpose of the life is just to traverse from one form to another? Is searching meaning the sole purpose of life or just a need for us to live a fulfilled life? What if there is no purpose? What if the life you are living is already serving the purpose that you are not even aware of? What if you are contributing to the universe by just being part of it and witnessing it? Is this universe really ...

Being alone is not the luxury people can afford in today’s fast-paced world. How much ever you try to avoid, the noise from outside or the havoc in your mobile makes sure you do not miss anything… Blame it on social media or your own curiosity but the voices of the world will echo in your head if not in your ears. Social media is a great tool with the potential of becoming most lethal weapon. The reason that social media appears to be less of convenience and more of havoc, is because of incorrect/malicious usage of the media. Ridiculous rumors spread like wildfire; Half-cooked facts are broadcasted without knowing the consequences; people voice their anger and opinions aggressively without knowing the full story which again ignites debates and wrong perceptions. This is another golden example of how hatred spreads faster than love. How else would you define news created out of nothing? Anger over something which is not even true? Social media is no longer a virtual world. It has ...

Before we plunge into the lessons, I would like to mention that these lessons are from my experience. This may vary person-to-person but from what I have observed I could sum it up in the below 9 pointers. Hope you find this helpful. 1. WHAT MATTERS TO YOU, SHALL DEFINE YOUR CORPORATE JOURNEY During our college days, we had a Personality Development trainer who helped us sharpen our soft-skills. Once she distributed a sheet which had a list of things that matters to you when looking out for a job. I found that exercise too silly! Obviously, Money will be the priority. What else do you need to take up a job? Well, it turned out, I was wrong. As I progressed in my corporate journey, I realized it was people that mattered most to me. It mattered to me that the people I work with and work for share common goals and welcome new ideas. So, you choose what matters to you most: money, people, post, environment, onsite opportunity and that would help you get your corporate life in perspec...

I had participated in a short story competition organized by Times of India. I did not bag any awards but still wanted to share the story with you. Here it is.... I hadn’t seen him for seven years. I was not sure what was more exciting: the fact that he was coming back from Sweden or I was the first one he called in India to give this news. We had been close friends since our college days. Driving was our passion. We used to flee in my SUV on weekends. Driving through the valleys and woods would give us a crazy level of high that we both craved for. We were kind of getting addicted to it. We were enough for each other until life happened. Once we were out of college, his work took him to different corners of India while I stayed in the same city looking after my dad’s business. It was becoming difficult to see each other, in fact, even talk to each other. We had moved on. Daily talks on the phone eventually reduced to pinging on WhatsApp. I didn’t regret it as we both had chosen t...

Captain Planet I feel it’s high time that the Captain Planet comes into being! The way the environmental issues are cropping up, ready to swallow the entire earth, only a superhuman could save us! And who else can be better than Captain Planet! Just 30-minutes daily news I mean, come on! Just because somebody gave them the permission to air 24x7 news channels, people have gone crazy! Anything becomes news! And I believe it is because of these channels that people are becoming cynical and pessimistic. Negativity and hatred spreads easily while love… well you know the situation, right? Healing potion Now, we cannot take back the destruction that has already been done but we can surely heal people. Empathizing with people and loving them unconditionally can act as a strong antidote to negative emotions and help people to get heal quickly. I ask for healing potion because we need love and care in large dose and that too urgently. This message might not reach to the larger a...

Time – the most important element in our limited lifespan. Running with time is one of the traits that we have cultivated over time. Obviously, time beats us every time but giving up is not something that humans do. We set tasks for ourselves making our life driven by timetable. And you would be considered foolish to not go with time. But when evolution happens in its own time, healing takes place at its own pace and when miracles happen without taking time into consideration;  isn’t it a little strange that we go against the flow and try to get things within the time limits set by us? When wise people advice to have patience, don’t they mean to stop running with the time and stop getting anxious with every ticking sound?? Sometimes, keeping track of time ruins it all. I know, I know we live in a world where everything is time-driven and patience is not a luxury that everyone can afford. But you know what, I have experienced some of the best things when I have lost track of t...

Ever wished to have some kind of superpower? Well, I always wished to have one. Wouldn’t it be cool to make impossible possible with your powers? As a kid, I always wished to have flying as my superpower. I imagined myself flying across the cities, reaching for the sky, touching those candy floss-like clouds, going all the way up to moon and coming back! Basically, a free world/space trip J But as I grew up, I started getting obsessed by the thought of making this world a better place to live in. The flying images were replaced by healing someone. No, not the type of healing that doctor does. I mean, the doctors heal physical injuries but there are some scars that no one can see. I intend to heal those scars, for it is because of those scars that people are the way they are. When I see people lost in pain, wandering alone on deserted streets, homeless – who just sit in one corner of the lane so that they appear to be invisible; my heart goes out to them. I don’t know ho...
