I finished reading Adam Grant’s: Think Again. The book talks about the power of learning by unlearning, shedding our biases, and seeing people, the world around us more objectively. We live in a society, spend time with people who agree with our view. It is like living in a walled garden with limited knowledge and …

stereotype
We are living in a divided world. How we see our world, how we react differs from people to people. We all have our ideological alignments. It is like a bubble we have wrapped ourselves. Why do treat humans differently on color, caste, religion, or sex? Is it because we are uneducated or educated irrational …
Ambition
Ambitions are what defines our journey. People around us have a role to play. It is like a fuel that keeps us going. There are no right or wrong options and, a lot depends on what is our true north. Our world wants us to follow a destined template. It can jeopardize one’s ambition. So …

I hope it does good for our civilization. The Indian government is also encouraging the movement. I have been …
treadmill
We are running on a treadmill. A lot of this blame goes to our parents and society. The level of expectations put on young shoulders by Indian parents is undoubtedly beyond the limits. There is a checklist made as we age. This system makes life miserable for women, a constant nudge of getting married and …
Injury
I have been regularly running for over six years now. It has been more of a meditation for me and helps with clear thoughts. I am not a gym person and quit cycling as well after a morning riding accident. I have been in on and off knee pain because of running. Last week I …
lead
Can you lead with fear or putting guns on the head of your team? Isn’t a team is about working together for a common cause? The modern world runs on money. People join and leave for better money. But how long can money subside over shitty work conditions or treated like a slave with a …
