What matters to us depends on how we see the world. What matters is our attitude. What matters is how true we to ourselves. What matters is our peace of mind. What matters is the company of close friends. What matters is the believers out there to hold you when you fail. What matters is …

nostalgia
I spent Holi, the festival of colors, after a decade at my hometown. The days with mom-dad made me wander in the past. I watched kids playing with colors, throwing balloons at each other, and laughing. It felt very nostalgic. I could see 20 years younger myself participating with that crown, laughing and dancing, and …
center
We are all born narcissists. Some a little while others a lot. Our desire is to be loved and listened to. Some get angry, pensive when in a group, family, relationship others start getting all the focus and importance. On the scale of narcissism, one does the destruction. If you are or people are you …
differences
The world is not a utopia and, an organization runs with a group of people. We all have our own opinions, beliefs. We work together for the greater good: the success of the organization. It means we will be keeping our differences, sail through, and progress. It is like a strong opinion weakly held. We …
standards
I keep hearing and sometimes argue over specifications, be it a product or design. We have their specific standards or best practices defined.

confidence

actions
Do we not own our actions? Why do we have to blame others for our failures and success all through ourselves? Why can’t we accept our mistakes and learn from them? Is it more to do with our ego?
scar
I was with a few friends over dinner last night. We all were talking about subjects from work-life balance to managing a team. One thing was common: everyone has gone through the battle and has a scar. Life is not easy for anyone: be it an employee, founder, or investor. We are all fighting our …
checklist
Sometimes I wonder if we are living my own life. It is like enabling someone else checklist. It is like running fast and, it seems there is no end to it. Is this how we humans live? Is consumerism or it is society? Or is it we who is responsible for this? Are you living …
unlearn
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 …
