There is no one path for all. Each one has our journey. One common theme is to be open to challenges and accept what’s on our way. We should not hide or close ourselves. Life gives us many opportunities, and we pick and sail through it. Sometimes, no plan is the best plan. It helps …

RIP, Charlie
Charlie Munger just passed away. He turned 99 years old. My inclination towards him has been more toward him as a person than a veteran billionaire. I loved reading about him. If you read the biography, you will know about the odds he had gone through his life, from losing his eye vision to marriage …
guarantee
There is no such thing as a guarantee in life.Everything is impermanent.We can die any minute; our accumulated wealth can be in ashes in no time. We will become strangers to the rest. Our life is a sum of memories and actions.We should live for now and make the best of it.While dreaming is a …
utopia
There are some days when nothing works. Everything comes crashing. We have to stay on our grounds and let it pass. It is easier said than done. A belief and keeping faith in oneself makes it achievable. Our life is not a utopia. Most of us are not born with a godfather or a silver …
Others
You cannot force-feed someone to success. You can only show the ladder. In the end, one has to walk on it. We want to see our loved ones and friends succeed. We go to lengths to help them out. But in the end, it all comes down to the individual. We have to be happy …
Upbringing
How you grew up has a limited role in your life. Our ancestors lived in a joint family where kids had company. They played, learned, and did things in a group. It helped in cementing a solid bond between the kids. Some of them misused those freedoms, while many others became self-reliant.

There is a silent population whom we have turned into robots. They don’t speak because they are scared. They take our orders and work on it. They are poor because of their country torn in war or because of tyrant dictators. Some of them were poor because of the family they were born in. They …
crowded
We clutter our thoughts with things that should not matter to us. Our thoughts should flow like water: pure and without any control. When we go seeking things, we end up expecting. It does more harm to us, and our thoughts get cluttered. We can only progress if we let go. Many of us live …
root
There are moments when you feel like going to the roots: your village for summer vacations, the uncle who bought you fruits from his orchid, and grandma sharing bedtime stories. The beautiful part of revisiting root is that it makes you humble. It reminds you about your childhood days filled with fun and frolics. I …
battle
A lot of us die fighting a battle with ourselves. As a result, our allocated span of life passes on the fly. We become bitter with ourselves. Our inner insecurity hinders us from taking risks and affects our progress. We should win the mind battle within ourselves first. Else, the world will take us for …
