Sojourn of Self Renewal

This wasn't planned to be just a year-ending diary note on the calendar year 2023, it wasn't planned at all. 2023 was very unlike other years, the closest relatable year being the year 2000. So quick glance at what happened in the year 2000 first. I decided to return to India for good after having lived in Australia for 5 years, I had paused physically, emotionally, socially, financially, and intellectually. Similar things happened in 2023, but the year 2000 was a game changer for me, I hope the later part of the year is pointing to a changing game, hopefully for the last time in life. Today's blog is about what I did and what I learned or reflected upon in 2023, like a summary of takeaways from 2023. In summary, 2023 was a year of "pause" So here are my notes from my almanac of self-renewal. #1 - We don't truly understand the "Why" of life, we focus on the "How" of life? Humans are just what they are programmed to be, a producer and a con

Five Sticky Notes

My last blog post was in April, in this age of the Tsunami of content, I am constantly amazed by how much content has, all of a sudden, been unleashed on mankind. There are reels, shorts, videos, posts, Vlogs, blogs, podcasts, pictures, statuses and WhatsApp to catch up on. Leave alone the TV, the newspapers, the books and movies to catch up on. When I sat down to write tonight, I was calculating, I have made a little over 70 posts in the last 12 years and those too I feel I could pass off as ramblings of a melancholic mind. That's an average of one post every 2 months. I find that it's getting increasingly hard to write down something introspective or discover a new conclusion. Today's blog is about 5 observations and conclusions from the last 5 months of this phase of introspection. I was once asked what triggers my blogs and what do I read and absorb? I will write that down today. I am not a High IQ person but blessed/cursed with observability, curiosity and the bi

Thirty Five and Fourteen

Since Childhood, I have been fascinated with Lions, probably because of my zodiac Sign. I was never scared of lions, I was scared of snakes, everyone has their fears and affiliations. The greatest Lion will eventually die miserably no matter how long it lives. That's the order of the world. At their Peak, they rule, chase other animals, catch, devour, gulp, and leave their crumbs for hyenas. But age comes fast. The old Lion can't hunt, kill, or defend itself. It roams and roars until it runs out of luck. It will be cornered by the hyenas, poked, and eaten alive by them. They won't even let it die before it is dismembered. Life is short. Power is ephemeral. Physical beauty is short-lived, I have seen it in lions. I have seen it in old people. Everyone who lives long enough will become weak and very vulnerable at some point. The sense of realism has been with me since my teenage and most importantly, I never forget that I will leave the stage one day, all of a sudden. Toda
