Listening is underestimated in the era of social loudspeakers. Everyone is busy with speaking, sharing and least with the virtue of listening. I am guilty of the same, I am working hard on becoming a good listener. When we listen we understand another side more rationally and counterparts do not compete for attention. They feel …

help
I have been part of this Indian startup industry for some time. I have connected folks from various backgrounds to people who will fit for their service or skills. A founder I met yesterday asked me how much I charge for making an intro. I was dumbstruck, he mentioned in 5 years of his startup …
more
More is what drives the world economy, be it production of newer iPhone or Tesla. The human mind craves more of everything, a small car over a big one, a big closet with cloths. Before advancement happened we had limitations: food, medicine, and arms. The consumerism mafia came all guns blazing, disguised under emotion we …

We start living in our fantasy world expecting things to be the way we like which might be wrong for others. Another side of living is giving benefit of …
