Be so capable that your presence serves the world.
- Save your thoughts
- Save your time
- Save your words
The lesser you use the the more your thoughts, time and words will have power.
Today’s blog is a different one
What’s a place in your room that soothes you?
This is one of the corners of my room (less than 10% of the total collection). Another corner is my meditation corner.
Do you have one with you?
New people
Met incredible people. Or met people that drained your energy.
Though both of these are good, what is great is how much time you spent with yourself alone.
If not, then whatever we do is going to be a replica of the world, not an originality.

Taare Zameen Par
Jab bhi kabhi
Papa mujhe
Jo zor se
Jhula jhulaate hain Maa
(Ab Papa jhula to nahi jhulate par metaphorical jhula jhulate hain)
Meri nazar
Dhundhe tujhe
Sochu yehi
Tu aake thaamegi Maa…
Unse main yeh kehta nahi
Par sehem jaata hu main Maa
(Shayad Maa bhi sehmi hui hai)
Chehre pe aane deta nahi
Dil hi dil mein ghabraata hu Maa
Tujhe sab hai pata
Hai na Maa
Tujhe sab hai pataaaa
Meri Maa ❣️
The story of betrayal
Recently, someone whom I trusted professionally betrayed my trust – of course, professionally.
Not for the first time. Rather for the nth time.
Then why am I still stuck?
When is the right time to leave?
Why don’t I teach them a lesson?
Honestly I don’t know. Because no coin is two-dimensional with two sides, every coin is a 3D art with multiple aspects. Not that I am not able to see clearly, rather I am waiting for the right time.
There are multiple virtues of being young and there is a vice of acting on impulse because you’re young. Never let the vice ruin your life forever. Thinking before acting is a superpower. Not acting for long is lack of trust in yourself. Finding that balance is what makes you irresistable.
That thing about work
What is it that you love in your work?
How are you optimising on doing it?
What is the inner faith that leads you to go ahead?
And the last question: What if you do that every hour?
Will you speak your truth?
There is one downside of speaking the truth: People would make fun of you.
There is one upside of speaking the truth: You will never make fun of yourself. And that’s priceless. Something which no AI or time could replace…
That little tinge of kindness
August 2017.
It was a usual day at work.
I went to the Operations Head, asking to share the records and documents needed for my work.
Back then, I used to work as an Internal Auditor, and the core job was visiting branches and conducting audits, with the help of branch operations team.
This fine day, as I was going back to my desk after talking with the Operations Head, when she called my name and said, “You always look stunning!”
And it took a moment for my mask of “follow me I am the auditor” to more of a humble, kinder human.
That of course, didn’t affect my work, however, it did tell me that it’s super important to appreciate people for their little things.
As my bosses used to say: “Neither of you are against each other, you both are working for the bank.”
PS: If you do not want AI to replace you, learn from this girl who showed the human side of her.
PPS: No, it didn’t affect my report however it did affect how I reflect on life.
And that’s super important 🙂
Finding “it”
What you’re seeking,
you won’t find
if you keep seeking.
If you stop seeking
and know you have it already,
they you won’t find it either,
rather “it” will find you.
