Knowledge is an illusion. No, this isn’t some catchline – it really is an illusion. We all think of ourselves as rational beings, able to view situations and make informed judgements, but studies have shown that we always thought in groups. From the time we hunted, till the time we went to the Moon, and …
It’s exciting, and worrying, this AI. As I continue to build our internal AI strategy, I swing between ‘wow so much to learn and implement’ and ‘damn we don’t stand a chance’. Just like the internet fundamentally changed the way we lived and worked, AI is poised to change the course of humanity – a …
संयोगाभावे गुरुत्वात् पतनम् ॥५।१।७॥ Saṃyogābhāve gurutvāt patanam (5.1.7)In the absence of action, the object falls by gravity. कार्य्यविरोधि कर्म ॥१।१।१४॥ Kāryyavirodhi karma (1.1.14).Action is opposed by reaction.

It’s getting so weird, it’s not even funny anymore. And its in-your-face lies that is peddled in the name of discounts. The prices are shown discounted, but from …

One commonality that I noticed was the incorrect way of breathing – almost everyone does it wrong. When inhaling, the stomach should expand, not contract. It is …
Started the day with Yoga, ended with a walk. That I will exercise everyday, was not all talk. Rhymes aside, some of you asked me for more exercises that can be done at home. So here is my favourite – literally takes 10 sq.ft and 10 minutes. A lot of tens there. Tāḍāsana Difficulty level …
So Gen-Z vs me today:) Aditi put up a good total, and I just had to beat it. Not in the spirit of competing with her, or anyone else for that matter, just that there was a benchmark that I wanted to test myself against. Tomorrow is another day:) It’s nice, this 30*30. People are …
So here I walked in to office today and guess what? There was a little something, actually big something waiting for me. A gift for my birthday they said. A coat, a lovely coat, a lovely corduroy coat, a lovely corduroy coat whose color is so close to the 10 Leaves color…. Thank you thank …
One week into the challenge, and I am averaging 78 minutes per day. Not bad, but still not as structured as I want it to be. You know, we always have an ideal self – the person we want to be. And then there is the actual self – the person we are. In some …
Commenced not one, but two exciting projects today. One has been on my mind for very long, and I am excited that I have finally found my way of tackling the subject. A subject that contains every answer, and every question as well. The Bhagavad Gita:) The second is Shakespeare ka baap (the father of …
