I am everywhere. I deliver your groceries; I help you when you want a ride. I am there to serve food for you. I am the one who takes care of your dumpster every morning. I ensure to deliver condoms, flowers, cake at wee hours so that you celebrate. I also exist; I am part …

think
We are how we think, what we see as a world. We can be miserable focusing on the atrocities around us. We can get angry, go mad, or sad. We can on the other hand spend time doing your side in fixing it. We complain about climate change but are we driving cars without AC …
suffer
Why some of us suffer more than most others? Is it because of their mental ailments or the way their mind works? Philosophers and sages have told us long back that We have to live in “accordance with our nature”; what does this mean? How do we know more about our nature? It all leads …
past
“Learning from the past”: In most instances, it’s about not repeating mistakes from the past. We forget about the past that had all good memories of growing up, making friends, seeing the world with innocent eyes and pious hearts. We, humans, are a collection of our experiences. Most of it comes from the past and …
identity
There is a race for showcasing our identity. What should be our identity? An animal with consciousness, genes of homo sapiens, or domesticated animals living in the dogmas of society?

network
I keep hearing about how you should build your network. We should nurture it for a good life and future. My limited learning has been that it cannot be artificial or totally on materialistic grounds.

listen
We have something to share with our peers, loved ones, or friends. The emergence of social media has amplified the creative persona within us. The downside of this is that we are left with very few listeners around us. Nobody has time to listen or help console. It is like we are all moving, running, …
introspect
How much time we spend with ourselves. How much do we introspect? Do we rethink and access our actions on a particular scenario? If we are coming to the same mistake again and again, are we any different from the lab rats? I remember reading Charlie Munger’s biography where he talks about the inversion mechanism. …
die
Aren’t we dying every moment? And add the self-guilt, inferiority complex, insecurity. It adds like a perfect cocktail for others to treat us like shit and, we believe it. Aren’t humans an intelligent species? How did we end up being so fearful? Why are we killing with every single decision, the action of ours? What …
want
You can take the thirsty to a pond. When someone craving mineral water, how are you helping? We are all aspirational humans. We want the best in our life. Be it with a job, our life, or a relationship. It has to be top-notch; we don’t settle for mediocre. As a friend, don’t offer unwanted …
