Viral Revolution


Che` Guevara said, ‘if our revolution does not have the goal of changing men, it doesn’t interest me.’ I do not know about the humankind but a virus is revolutionizing the world as it is changing the men.
People are connecting, staying inside, practising music and playing with their kids. The old-age cultural traditions of greeting and eating once ridiculed are advocated. A wave is seen where the world is feeling ONE.
The pandemic has given people time to self-reflect, plan their future course of action. What are you grateful about? Make a list of your blessings. List the name of people you love, you like and people who inspire you/encourage you.
Walk away from negative media focus on positivity. Face time with the people you love. Have a virtual dance party with people you like.  Cook together. Pick up a book of person you idolize. Focus on yourself. Learn a new skill. Give someone a call. Reconnect with people you have lost touch with.
We have choices. We can use this time to panic or choose to be mindful of the situation and Connect while maintaining social distancing. Nature is teaching us the art of changing human nature, so let us Bio Mimic nature, and shed your inhibitions like old leaves and wait patiently for new buds to arrive. Let this virus revolutionise our minds to find meaning and purpose in our lives and world.

Method Behind Magic

  “Be open, be Impatient and Be Hopeful’ Listening to Sundar Pichai addressing the passing out batch of 2020 is magical, quintessential and evoke hope. No matter you are passing out this year or you graduated twenty years ago, it shows you light in despairing time. Trying to dissect the anatomy of his narrative, I faced the power of number three. Rule of 3 is a literary device used to make language come alive. Steve Job in his famous commencement speech at Stanford narrated three personal stories to evoke emotions (pathos) engage authentically (ethos) with his personal experiences and bring home the values of trust, faith and uncertainty of life as logical conclusions (logos). Mr Pichai too used personal experiences, powerful language and detailed description to give a message of hope to the youth. Information combined with emotion becomes a memory. “If you want something stuck in someone’s head, put it in a sequence of three,” Brian Clark, founder of Copyblogger said. Ru...

What is Happiness? Surrounded by best of things! Surrounded by Best Of people! Travelling the world luxuriously! No sadness in the world! No Poverty! No pain! No war, No one Starving! Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? Are you living in a Utopian  age? To quote Nataly Kogan,a corporate happiness sherpa, 'Happiness is not the absence of negative emotions.

May be you have to align your thoughts more towards being mindful of your happiness but You don’t have to do anything more to earn it. You’re a being, not a doing. You are not your thoughts.

Burst the PoP

  When Theodore Roosevelt said,' Comparison is the thief of joy' he was explaining the Paradox of Possessions. More you have, the more coveted.No matter how recent model you got someone else will have a better model of a car or a watch. As we purchase something new, we experience the dopamine rush, the sense of achievement but its fleeting. To get that high again we go back to buy more or better, which is a vicious cycle and induces guilt as experienced by alcoholics and drug addicts. What is exciting and alluring becomes a norm in no time. New purchases lead to new expectations and we keep on raising the bar, we look for even better ones. It's a never-ending and is known as PoP-Paradox of Possessions. It's like the bottle of soda pop, once opened it fizzles out.     Close relationships, more than money or fame, are what keep people happy throughout their lives, a Harvard study revealed. Along with relationships, Experiences than possessions bring more happiness. Human...
