Our brain is the most complex human organ. Many researches are underway to find out its mystery. My own experience has made me realize that my brain gets affected by: People I meet/talk to. Music I listen to. Movies I watch. Foods I eat. Workouts I do. Books I read In short, every single action …

Multitasking
I used to be that guy who vouched for multi tasking. As time passed, I’m experiencing its side effects. Doing multiple things at the same time requires our brain to act like a router, throwing packets to different IP addresses. While the router is made for it, our brain is not. A few months ago, …
Money
What will you do with all that money when: You are sleep deprived. You are addicted on alcohol and narcotics. You have no control over your anger. You have a big house but no friends. You are a slave to your vices. Your kids have no respect for you. You have no one to …
Sanity
At 33, I stumbled upon philosophy. This time it was Jiddu Krishnamurti, thanks to Twitter and one of the tweets of Naval Ravikant mentioning his name. Over the years I have realized that most of the modern day self help books and motivational content are nothing but recycled philosophy. With time, my interest in reading …
Meeting

Those who matter
Sometimes, people will avoid you. They will not pick up your calls. They will not reply to your emails. They will keep rescheduling meetings. You should not feel bad about it. You should give attention to all those people who stood by you When you were nothing. When you were broken. When you were clueless …
Mother
She is one of a kind. She cared when I had nothing to share. She was there when nobody else was out there. My mother is everything for me. She has been there for for me always. I was never a loser in her eyes. I remember getting extra pocket money from her to buy …
Feedback
Feedback plays a key role in our life. It is not just limited to our profession. Our seniors at work are not the only ones to give us feedback. If we have an open mind we can get better. Life is a journey and we are time traveler’s. In the end, it depends on us. We …
Arguments
Partnership gets a hit because of heated arguments. We turn into a beast, our ego takes over: rationality and logic takes the back seat. We get passionate and forget about empathy and virtues. Why does this happen? Is it because our lizard brain takes over? A solid partnership requires respect, empathy and rational conversation. We …
