I revisited this blogpost today. The weather in Dubai is great at the moment, light rains, drop in temperatures, and an overall good feeling. Not for some, but for me, its a collection of beautiful moments… Such days also make me think deep about life and where I am headed. Not that I am in …
कथामुखं The introduction In a city called Mahilaropya, very far away from here, lived a king named Amarashakti (the ever-powerful). He took very good care of his kingdom and his subjects, and was loved and revered by all. He was a master of all the sciences and the art of politics and negotiations, of ethics …
Today, as Rohāmrta was saying papa papa papa, I recalled the day he started to say da-da-da-da. At that time, I thought he would be conversational with me by now, but apparently kids take a bit more time to start speaking in regular coherence, so well, typical first-time-dad issues. Nevertheless, I did go back and …
Watching a kid growing up has its (lion’s) share of firsts. Today, I asked Keshav to bring my phone from the living room – also a first, just to see if he would. He is usually not allowed to touch phones, so would he, wouldn’t he? Where is it? I asked him. Keshav turned to …
Time that runs away! Ricardo Gondim I counted my years and found that I will have less time to live from now on than I have lived until now. I feel like that boy who was given a bowl of fruits. The first ones, he sucked carelessly, but realizing that there are few left, he gnaws the kernel. …
Every now and then I look back at my posts and find a few good ones that I can re-read. Sarvajña is one of them. His tripadis are witty, and profound at the same time. They are in Kannada, and while there are a few translations here and there, I can’t seem to find an …
And today is the day when a birthday celebrates it’s Rajinikanth:) The release of a movie of Rajnikanth is a festival in itself…from the announcement, to the first look, the decked up theatres, the fan frenzy, and now of course the craze on social media as well. It’s apparent that people buy into the mania, …
Was having a catch-up with the compliance team and we chanced upon a topic that needed a deep dive. I pointed them in the right direction and asked the team to explore, deliberate and then reach a conclusion. Self-study and research, coupled with peer discussions to cement the concept. Exciting! Reminds me of something that …
“What’s so magical about solitude? In many fields, Ericsson told me, it’s only when you’re alone that you can engage in Deliberate Practice, which he has identified as the key to exceptional achievement. When you practice deliberately, you identify the tasks or knowledge that are just out of your reach, strive to upgrade your performance, …
So the book fair ended – and I now have around 200 books waiting to find their new home (or shelf) as I deem fit. All looking pretty, nicely wrapped individually and all. Boy, was it a great two weeks or what:) In other news, it is Rohāmrtā’s turn (again) to have fever and the …
