Mindfullness



If you let your mind wander, you're foregoing an opportunity to engage at the moment, and instead worrying about either the past or the future.

Free will is an illusion. Decisions sre simply biochemical processes in the brain.

Our Attitude Determines Our Altitude...

A r e we ever content with what we have? Are we ‘truly’ satisfied with what we achieve whenever we do it? The answer to the not so a million dollar question draws the line between what I perceive ‘positive attitude’ or the negative side of it … A careful introspection of our intrinsic behavior would reveal that even in the happiest and smuggest of situations, most of us still have something to rue about.. “Oh I am so happy with the result, but yea it could have been much better...”, “yep, I’m surely on my way to my aim, but if some things had been my way, things would have been different...” Sounds familiar eh?? Now the point is not that whether we should or should not aim for higher goals, the point is we do succeed in finding something to crib about whenever the hell we can!! To this propensity, my mom often recites to me perspicuously- at a given point in time, there are probably a zillion reasons to feel disconsolate; and probably a few elusive reasons to feel happy… But if you ar...

Adieu 2017

Learnings from 2017: * The things that come to you easily, just don't seem to count, until they go away. * Learning to love the journey, instead of focusing on the result yields sustainable happiness in the long run (Blog post in Dec). * Investing in experiences and learnings is far more important than materialistic short-term pleasures. * Being happy and content from within provides you the power to forgive, and ignore the negative around you (Blog post in August). * People are naturally attracted to success and confidence, that's what you "need" to "belong" to the crowd around you. * There's nothing more important than good friendships, strive to make new friends and keep in touch with the genuine people in your life. * "Keeping Busy" is the elixir for most personal problems in life!

Study 1: 14.02.2009 "What’s in Rs 90,000 crore??" is the question then.. Its a bloody humungous amount thats what!! To think of a public sector undertaking in India accumulating that amount of profit in five years is sincerely interesting and awe- inspiring.. Yep, thats the "cash surplus" the Indian railways has piled up in the 5 yrs of Mr. Lalu's tenure..Our esteemed union railways minister really deserves accolades for the insurmountable turnaround he has allegedly brought about, especially when the public subsidiary was facing almost certain bankruptcy some years back.. The extent of popularity of his laurels can be gauged by the fact that students from Harvard university flew down to India for a lecture..The Indian railways has been transformed from a bulky ‘elephant’ to a swift 'cheetah' for sure.. Study 2 14.02.2009 At least 12 people were killed and many others injured when the superfast coromandel express derailed in Orissa, once again plan...
