Keep perspective and celebrate what’s good.
9th May 2025 We are facing a challenging time . Turbulent times have come before. Much of what we’re experiencing is NOT “unprecedented.” Many of us have just forgotten past events. “History does not repeat itself, but it does rhyme,” advised Mark Twain. These hard times our world faces, will eventually give way to another […]
Doing the thing
8th May 2025 The only way to get stuff done is to do the work. We spend too much time in collecting information and data, on how it can be done, the easiest way to do it etc etc, but not the effort required in actually doing it. We all look for a quick fix […]
True Joy
7th May 2025 “Everybody can be great, because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve; You don’t have to know about Plato and Aristotle; You don’t have to know Einstein’s theory of relativity to serve; You only need a heart full of grace and a soul generated by love.” […]
The Sandcastle on the beach
6th May 2025 On a recent holiday, I was sitting on a beach one summer day, watching some children playing in the sand. They were hard at work building an elaborate sandcastle by the water’s edge, with gates, towers and moats and internal passages. Just when they had nearly finished their project, a big wave […]

5th May 2025 I came across the intriguing concept of “Anti-goals” from a book I was recently reading and it entirely changed my framework of setting goals.

The Five paths
4th May 2025 The destination may be the same but the journey we each follow is different, learning different things along the way. We are meant to enjoy the journey but we remain focusssed on the destination. Five men stood at the edge of confusion, deep in an unfamiliar forest. The first trusted his gut […]
The Law of Least Effort!
3rd May 2025 The fourth spiritual law of success expounded by Deepak Chopra is ‘the Law of Least Effort.’ This law is based on the fact that nature’s intelligence functions with effortless ease and abandoned carefree. This is the principle of least action, of no resistance. This is, therefore, the principle of harmony and love. […]
David Vs Goliath – Attitude matters
2nd May 2025 I love this quote: “Some people see things as they are and say why? I dream things that never were and say why not?” The story of David and Goliath is one of the most iconic and celebrated tales from the Old Testament. Virtually everyone vaguely acquainted with Bible stories knows that […]
The Streetlight Effect
1st May 2025 There’s an old story that goes something like this: A drunk man is searching for his lost keys under a streetlight. A cop walks by and asks what he’s doing. “Looking for my keys,” the man replies. “Did you lose them here?” “No, but this is where the light […]
Akshaya Tritiya
30th April 2025 In Sanskrit, the word Akshaya (अक्षय्य) means “never decreasing” in the sense of “prosperity, hope, joy, success,” while tritiya means “third phase of the moon”. It is named after the third lunar day of the spring month of Vaisakha in the Hindu calendar, when it is observed. Often touted as ‘Akha Teej’, […]
