I discovered something new today. About one of my teammates. She used to run a cookery channel on You Tube – an own initiative undertaken during Covid – nothing fancy, but some good and practical dishes that anyone could try. And then work came along, and this took up the back burner. Today, she got …
Many people have asked me about my writing, others have suggested that I make a book. Well, for one, I don’t think I have reached there yet, nor do I aspire to. It it happens, it happens. If it doesn’t, I don’t really get affected. I guess the goal is to write for oneself, as …
Yesterday I wrote about superheroes, both aspiring and reel. I forgot to mention a third category- the real. Yes they do exist. Not the silly Linkedin/Insta reels that speak about ‘not all superheroes wear capes’ and comprise emotion-evoking and boredom-provoking multiple-times copied attempts at garnering a few more likes. I’m speaking of the ones that …
I read this interesting article by Avivah Wittenberg-Cox in the Harvard Business Review. Titled “In praise of extreme moderation”, it speaks of the trend of workaholism being a badge of honor, and extremism is becoming the norm not only in our professional lives but increasingly in our personal lives as well.

When was the last time you felt this way? If you had the choice, wouldn’t you be this way every day of your life? Isn’t that what life is…a celebration? Then what stops us from being our natural self? Whatever be the circumstances… Think about it… and YOGA…

Do you see your true self when you look in the mirror? How far have you come in your journey…and are you on a path that you wish to be on? An infinitesimally small spot in the vast spectrum of time, is when you exist. Can you make a difference? Does it even matter if …
It is said… शत्रुणा न हि सन्दध्यात् सुश्लिष्टेनापि सन्धिना ।सुतप्तम् अपि पानीयं शमयत्य् एव पावकम् ॥ २३ ॥ śatruṇā na hi sandadhyāt suśliṣṭenāpi sandhinā |sutaptam api pānīyaṃ śamayaty eva pāvakam || 23 || One should not make friends with an enemy, even if he seeks a truce. Because, no matter how much heat is given to water, …
Maniac Monday was expected, but reality was a bit better. I was able to breeze through work, with not too many distractions. Did spend a lot of time on the desk and the phone though. And so Day 3 of the fitness challenge called for a slightly different strategy. Shifted to three workouts of around …
