The enemy is within us. We are our own daemons. We torment, suffer and cry within. We constantly fight, blame, and anger ourselves. The fear, hate, and lovelessness of ourselves make us lose even before we start anything. Why are we like this? Is it generational? Is it because of our fight-flight response or our …

agent of change
Some people walk into our life, make us better and stay with us for eternity or disappear. After my class 10th, my mother sent me out of Bihar for higher studies. I believe this was one of the milestones in my life. Later on, during engineering, participating in FOSS and open source technology and meeting …
trust
A lot of my friends tell me I trust people easily. As a result, I suffer. I don’t know about the suffering part. One thing is sure: radical trust has been a mixed bag for me. I have made lifelong friends, lost money, and suffered emotionally. All of it has happened. But when I see …

Is our health, life, or attraction over some worldly asset or beauty permanent? Ask yourself. We age, our body rots, and beauty fades. The …
Resistance
I am 60 pages through the war of art book, and the author speaks of “Resistance” in it. The more I read and think, I feel it’s our every-minute struggle with the monkey mind. We are lazy. We dislike change, and we prefer quick wins in life. Resistance is nothing but the vice that is …
Complain
Some of us are walking list of complaints. They have problems with everything. It’s like a man with hammer syndrome, but hammer being “complain.” This kind of person will suck your brain and blood. They will always be in fight mode. I feel empathetic to them and the people who live with them, their families, …
determination
Determination to do something or making up a mind to take steps is like a superpower. Many of us don’t start because of the fear of failure. Once you are determined, you know what you don’t need. In these scenarios, you end up crafting your path and journey. You are beyond the status quo or …
