With billions of people creating their own realities, will the ‘real’ reality please stand up! I saw a video recently of astronauts viewing the earth – the beautiful blue ball rotating in the darkness of nothingness, and how that view changed them forever. It kicked an absolutely new reality for them. The reality of their… Continue reading Connecting with true reality

Why feelings matter
How many times, in the stressful environment we live in, apologies are being rendered? As after thoughts. It happens everywhere – in corporate world or in our personal lives. Out of control in a charged situation, words come out unintentionally. And then what follows is a patch-up. More actions, and more words. In these emotionally charged… Continue reading Why feelings matter
Being the change we want to see in others
All that is seen outside us is actually contained within us. Feeling disjointed with this otherwise well-imbibed wisdom. The monstrous acts in the news lately can shake-up this belief. From utter despair to ballistic anger, feelings and emotions seem uncontrollable everywhere. Suddenly the responsibility of all that is happening around us, rests on the shoulders of others – the politicians, powerful lobbies,… Continue reading Being the change we want to see in others
Max potential, trash interference
Recently I was cajoled by a dream about flowers, when the morning after I saw an advert by an art school on floral art and I signed up. After all I had not held a sketch book or a drawing pencil for eons and I was not close to being called an art enthusiast either;… Continue reading Max potential, trash interference

Life is change. On that trail of thought, I believe that even changing our belief system is good. I like to… Continue reading What’s your score, for failing?
Simplicity is the greatest sophistication
We all love simplicity. Simple instructions. Simple devices. Simple people. But there are always way too many things trying to grab our attention at the same time. What can we do to stick to doing things that are meaningful, and yet not be so complex. I like to use the example of a lens and… Continue reading Simplicity is the greatest sophistication
Putting ‘mirror neuron theory’ to work
When I moved to a new city, I longed for something. And it took me some time and a mini-experiment to regain what I missed. The people in this city could have been very friendly, but I had no way to sense that. Not too many smiling faces. Very busy and some stern faces in… Continue reading Putting ‘mirror neuron theory’ to work
The Four Forces of life
The “weight”, the “lift”, the “drag”, the “thrust” – the 4 forces when in perfect balance make even the impossible possible! For centuries man has dreamt of flying, of owning the sky. Only when he learnt about the aerodynamics, the four forces, was he able to translate that dream into reality. And to take that… Continue reading The Four Forces of life
Rules to rule your work-life
How much of your life do you spend working? An average of 8-9 hours/day is my guess (Singapore as per ILO 2010 report – has people working the longest hours as compared to other countries in the same survey). Let’s face it – work is more a part of our lives than anything else, after all we don’t spend 8-9… Continue reading Rules to rule your work-life
