0028 – Harmony in Design and Rituals
Reflecting further on my recent trip to India, two separate thoughts struck my mind. The first one is about symmetry. Does symmetry make architecture beautiful? What is it about certain buildings that make them so captivating? Is it their shape, colour, or the way everything comes together? Interestingly, symmetry is often a big part of…

0027 – Context vs Discovery
The Impact of Context on Your Travel Experience Today, while out for an evening walk, my mind wandered to a project I’ve been immersed in: reconfiguring and designing my blog for the past few weeks. This led me to reflect on my recent trip to India, where I explored North India more extensively than before…

0017 – FOMO
Introduction to the idea FOMO is an interesting topic. It has both advantages and disadvantages(like anything else I guess) and there are techniques for both. Similar to anything else with a grand spectrum from good to bad, friendly to evil etc, this also has its own scale. And it’s important to sit nicely in the…

0016 – Rituals

It was Vinayaka Chathruti and that’s a famous celebrated festival in India where we take blessings from Lord Ganesh(one of the God’s) and sit as a family to pray together and listen to the famous story.

We don’t actually think about it much but who we are is a topic of great importance and invaluable knowledge. Our bodies and minds are such extraordinary creations and they…

Alright, so today has been a very insightful day and I’ve consumed a lot of content and spoken a lot too! One of the interesting videos I watched has really stuck with me and I think it’s something that everyone ought to paint a picture in their minds about. It’s time management. Time management is…

0008 – One Life
Today has been a very interesting day! It has literally been chucking it down man! Absolutely contrasting to the ideal Summer day. So, unfortunately, I am arrested in my house with lights and my face stuck to my laptop’s screen. The reason I say this is because fortunately, our family has been able to go…

0004 – Perception of Life
What is the purpose? To have fun! It’s an adventure. But unfortunately, many of us have built outdated and overly well-established systems which are immobilising this very purpose. One of the examples is schools. There are many flaws with the education system but I won’t get into an unhealthy ramble now. As I haven’t blogged it…
