#8 A little More
January 09, 2022 03:56 - 2 minutes - 2.66 MBAs a child, I always assumed that an artist is someone distinct from the masses. They are painters, poets or musicians etc. In my native language, they were called "Kalakaar". Later in my teenage years, I saw that the word "Kalakaar" is associated with someone creative, eccentric and whimsical. Whenever somebody acts strangely, they are called 'Kalakaar". Today, I see things differently. For me, everyone is a 'Kalakaar" or has the potential to be. We all create our life and our days. But eve...
#6 Comfort zone and all
December 31, 2021 00:30 - 1 minute - 1.36 MBWe hear a lot about how one has to come out of our comfort zone to achieve new things in life, how it is important to be uncomfortable to learn something. Is it possible to separate comfort levels from what we want to get done, which is valuable? When 'level of comfort or discomfort ' is taken out of the equation, we realise that we were focusing on something not critical. Both comfort and discomfort are at the level of experience. This experience comes mostly from stories we have created a...
#7 We are status seekers
December 21, 2021 07:29 - 1 minute - 1.08 MBWe all cognitively understand that we are born unique. So then, why do we still get into the mode of comparing ourselves with others around us? What makes us compete for things that society keeps on the pedestal and may not be of real value to us. The status-seeking game makes us do things that we would not have thought of otherwise. It makes us choose our career; it drives how we live and what we spend time on. It guides us on what to purchase, which car to drive, how to design our house a...
#5 A bull can’t ignore the colour red
July 16, 2021 01:38 - 1 minute - 1.72 MBThe human mind is in constant search of 'how to's. We want to know the 'how to's of life. The design is such that we wish to have a hack, recipe, formula, method, tip and a trick to deal with every aspect of our life. Of course, this is fine when it comes to operational and mechanical activities like fixing furniture or assembling physical objects. However, when it comes to mind, heart and aspects of art, these recipes do not work. They become mere 'tick mark' exercises for self-approval and ...
#4 Black and White
July 04, 2021 02:25 - 2 minutes - 2.06 MBBlack and White When does a day starts and night stops ? What part of sunshine is good and what is bad? Which is the right direction for a river to flow and where does it takes a wrong turn? Is a plant successful when it blooms flowers and a failure if it doesn’t? All these questions comes from a mind which attempts to ‘fit’ everything into a binary mode. The good and the bad, the right and the wrong. Nature is neither complete nor perfect.As we do not have any other parameter or context w...
#3 Let the flow take care
June 27, 2021 02:57 - 2 minutes - 2.01 MBLet the flow take care Many time we are into the thick and thin of matters. The matters can be of health,relationship,work or any thing which is of our concern. We struggle to find solution. The struggle for solution is mostly with the same mindset with which we got into the problem. It is based on several assumptions about ourselves, our limits and the constraints given by the society we live in. If we take a step back and transform the context around the challenges we will be able to see ...
#2 You will never be Happy
June 19, 2021 03:46 - 2 minutes - 2.25 MBWe define happiness as a function of money, fame, relationships, self esteem, societal status and self validation. Once we are settled with this definition, we start the search.
#1 The Seekers
June 15, 2021 11:48 - 3 minutes - 2.81 MBEpisode 1 The Seekers One who claims to be a seeker has to first understand what they are seeking. What can one seek. One can seek only that what one knows either from their memory of past experiences or from the images they have created about it with their intellectual efforts like reading, listening or learning from someone. You may be seeking truth, or the meaning of life , or happiness or Nirvana or Moksha or enlightenment or transformation. Fill in whatever you call it. How will yo...
