Scent
Has the scent of agarabaati reminded you of your mother’s evening prayers? Or has it remained you of your ex, the fragrance of perfume at the client’s meeting? I wonder why our brain acts this way by throwing our past. Everything comes to a halt. Positive association of it brings a smile. We end up …
opportunity
I got lucky that someone trusted me, gave me the opportunity. I would not have reached this far in life without it. My mother was adamant seeing me go to Delhi for higher studies. Coming to Delhi, making great friends, and amazing teachers helped me to learn and grow. As I grew in the profession, …
ownership
I understand ESOP is the hot cake in our industry. But is money the only indicator of ownership in an organization? What about responsibility, feeling on oneness, and belonging to the organization?

body
It took me over 30 years to realize that my body needs some care. I meant knowing myself, my limits, and what and how everything affects my body. Most of us relate the body with looks, muscles, and abs. We tend to treat the brain like a less loved organ without knowing that it consumes …
limit
What is our limit, be it taking pain or seeking for our goal? What does it take to become successful? Can we feed a horse if he is not thirsty? Does limit mostly manifest of our mind? We have created an artificial wall and scared of getting hurt crossing it? Watching Hollywood, listening, or reading …

Why do we listen and follow sages, gods, or gurus? How do we know their teachings are supreme? I have been thinking about it for some time. I am not saying there is a fault with their knowledge. But how much can I take it? The beliefs, dogmas, and superiority of one do not go …
