Today..
11th August 2025 Recently, I came across this wonderful thought : “You are richer than 93 percent of people. Not in money, but in time. Over 108 billion people have lived throughout history. 93 percent of them are dead. You have what every king and queen, every pharaoh and ruler, every CEO and celebrity of […]
Pause..
10th August 2025 I can think of several times in my life I wish I had practiced the pause in my life, and I cannot think of a single time I am glad where I didn’t. Nothing good ever comes from a snap response, a snap judgment, or a snap reaction. Reacting harshly to anything […]
Happy Rakshabandhan!
9th August 2025 Raksha Bandhan has been celebrated by Gods and men alike since ages. Rakhi fables abound around Gods like Lord Yama, the Goddess Lakshmi, and Indirani (wife of the God-king Indra).

Don’t wait for the perfect moment
8th August 2025 We all strive for perfection, but as someone said, “Perfection does not mean doing extraordinary things but in doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.” No tree is perfectly straight, no mountain is perfectly symmetrical, yet they make the most perfect landscape. When there is a challenge, it is not necessary to come up […]
“Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.”
7th August 2025 There’s debate about the origin of this phrase. I don’t know if it’s originally from the Navy SEALs, Vince Lombardi, or someone else — but I love it. My new year’s resolution this year was…no rushing. No rushing to the airport, No rushing to eat a meal, No rushing to respond to […]
Let’s Start Talking Again
6th August 2025 Till, not too long ago, We were good at talking. Storytelling was our forté. We sat around with friends & family, reminisced & imagined. The surprise visitor added magic to the evening. Children would bargain with their parents to stay up longer because they wanted to tune in on the conversation. People […]
The Hidden Cost of Comfort
5th August 2025 There’s an old story that I try & remember when Iam struggling with something. “A man stumbled upon a cocoon of an emperor moth & took it home to witness its transformation. One day, a small opening appeared. The man watched as the moth began to struggle to force its body through […]
The Burnt Toast theory
4th August 2025 Someone recently shared this concept with me & suggested it as an idea for my morning blog. Traditionally, the Burnt Toast Theory is a reminder that even seemingly negative events can be part of a larger, positive plan and that it’s important to remain optimistic and adaptable in the face of life’s […]
Happy Friendship Day!
3rd August 2025 I’m a success today because I had a friend who believed in me and I didn’t have the heart to let him down.” ~Abraham Lincoln My father used to say, “Earn two friends in life: One Like KRISHNA Who Will Not Fight But Will Make Sure You Win And Second Like KARNA […]
Learn to be still
2nd August 2025 How different would the world be, If we spent as much time listening to our conscience as we did listening to others. If we respond to the calls of our conviction as quickly as we answer to the ring of technology in our pockets. All this noise, all these inputs, all this […]
