It took me over 30 years to realize that my body needs some care. I meant knowing myself, my limits, and what and how everything affects my body. Most of us relate the body with looks, muscles, and abs. We tend to treat the brain like a less loved organ without knowing that it consumes …

limit
What is our limit, be it taking pain or seeking for our goal? What does it take to become successful? Can we feed a horse if he is not thirsty? Does limit mostly manifest of our mind? We have created an artificial wall and scared of getting hurt crossing it? Watching Hollywood, listening, or reading …
Agriculture
I am reading a chapter on Agriculture from How Asia Works. There seems to be a pattern in the failure and apathy towards farmers. Land ownership is uneven. Most farmers are tenants, not owners. Lack of government’s loan and subsidy forcing farmers to private lenders, who charge a higher interest. Failure of repayment results in …
silence
I am creating a rule of silence. It is always good to stay silent instead of passing on negative judgment. We anyways have everything broken around us, spending time on seeing positives will be more powerful and satisfying.
supreme
Why do we listen and follow sages, gods, or gurus? How do we know their teachings are supreme? I have been thinking about it for some time. I am not saying there is a fault with their knowledge. But how much can I take it? The beliefs, dogmas, and superiority of one do not go …

Who is going to stand by you? Are we all not alone in our little world? Thoughts, imagination, dreams all are ours. Who owns responsibility? I have been seeing a trend where people don’t want to change, move on, or take steps ahead. Some are victims of their past, live by the memories, and sometimes …
dependent
Why do we have to be dependent on alcohol, drugs, smoking, or a guru? Is it because we are scared to accept and live our lives in real sense? We have read or heard that the consumption of foreign substances will make us better? I feel we are scared of living as we are. Why …
bored
I keep hearing from people around how we get bored. The moment we feel empty. We have nothing to think about, do which excites us. Is this state self-created? Is it because we don’t know what we want? How can we get bored knowing our existence on this planet is limited? We have so many …
purpose
What keeps us moving? What makes our life unique? What keeps us moving against all the odds, failures? The more and more I read about the life of successful people or those who left their mark on society. It makes me realize they had a purpose: Martin Luther King to Mahatma Gandhi to Nelson Mandela …
