Six Pixels of Separation (Mitch Joel) has nothing in it, which a 17 years teenager doesn’t know but the book is thought provoking for any one who is older than 33 years old.
Remember 70s… Hippie Culture! You know the cause?
Abundance. That’s it. Rich went berserk and started looking peace in poverty, culture, religion, east, drugs, and alcohol.
I think everyone remembers their birthdays for precious gifts, parties or having good time with friends and family, otherwise all birthdays are unbirthdays
Celebrating at Bargi Dam with Suketu and Harish
An unbirthday (originally written un-birthday) is an event that can be celebrated on any day that is not the person’s birthday. There is proper definition of unbirthday in Wikipedia though it is unlikely that you will find this term in dictionary.
I can have 364 unbirthdays therefore it is much more profitable to celebrate these days.
I was surprised to learnt while watching Oprah Show that those Americans who lost their houses during this recession missed shower and bath of their houses most.
What ever is most important is either free or doesn’t cost too much, fresh air, a good view, satisfaction of simple meal, laughter, smile and just a shower are some of the few things.
So, why do we struggle to do difficult things, get in to the impossible situations and demand unreasonable results? There are many answers but most likely ones are comparative mindset and high expectations. We humans are not the only ones who do the impossible tasks. There are insects that carry 100 times more weight of their body mass and some tiny dung beetles travel 10 miles in search of right dung.
An old American saying:
A needle fell into the forest. An eagle sees it, a deer hears it and a bear smells it.
Now a dumb human being thinks an eagle has weaknesses of not hearing and smelling well. A dear has no qualities for looking hard and to smell better and poor Bear is purely misfit to see and hear.
We all are concentrating our energies to correct and improve our weaknesses and just ignoring and under utilizing our strengths.
I know, no matter how hard I study English Literature I will never be a good writer but if I study Physics only one tenth of time I study English I may do some miracle.
In all probability you have heard this one, but at the expense of repetition let me tell you once again:
A wise man while travelling through a jungle saw a young man sleeping under a tree.
Hey! Wake up and do something. Young man rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked- what?
Do something worthwhile, work why are you sleeping at this hour?
What will happen if I work, asked the young man?
Well… if you work hard enough you can have a house, a car, loving family and what not replied the wise man.
Then what will happen? Asked the young man.
Then you can have good time and you can relax.
So, what do you think I am doing now? I am having good time and I am, relaxing. Said the young man.
We humans have lot in common with animals; we want to leave our mark/scent on everywhere we pass by.

…Best of all-learn to unlearn

I am in Mumbai on my industrial training and I got an opportunity to participate in one of the event in the Month of August on second Saturday. Without thinking much over it I decided to attend it along with my cousin.
Joju once asked Master Nam Cheon “ What is the true way (Zen)?”
Master replied, “ Everyday mind is the true way”
This article is dedicated to all those who make New Year resolutions and later or sooner realise the futility of such resolutions. Some believe that your destiny is defined and yet some think you can design it. It’s a redundant problem in mathematical lingo. However, one can take solace in the situation that one is designing his/her destiny while opposite may be true. I am afraid, there is no way to find it out.
“Rule Your Mind or it will Rule You”: Horace
Even if you rule your mind, it dictates you to rule it. In all best situations in life there is a paradox.

When my friend Harry’s father died, his most interesting inheritance was an envelope. (Does it remind you of The Ultimate Gift)? I don’t really know what was in that envelope, but Harry told me that it contains URL of some websites and few codes. Intellectual Property Rights have come a long way.
We will see something very new in the coming years. We are very lucky that we are able to see this metamorphism while we still have our own cognitive abilities.
The other day I was speechless when I opened a school notebook of a 4-year-old girl and saw “A” for an apple, not a fruit but the latest model of Apple Air. I decided that time has come to write this article.
