Things this guy realized - Part 8

1.       Thought is like a breath, you inhale and exhale once then that breath is completed, if you try to told that breath for too long you suffocate. Same is the case with thoughts, be it a bad or a good thought.

2.       "The ability to observe without evaluating is the highest form of intelligence." ~ K

3.       Worry is trapping of thoughts. Pleasure is trapping of senses. Liberty is freedom from both.

4.       Whatever done half heartedly is like the clouds, it disappears. Whatever done with conviction stays forever like a sky.

5.       It doesn't take anything to be nothing

6.       We can't see thoughts but it exists. Are they real or illusionary ?

7.       Religions are like rivers that all merge in the sea of spirituality, but human's tendency to build dams to stop it's original flow for varied causes, has created doubts about it. But whatever man has built is temporary, while Nature would take it's own course.

8.       The language doesn't matter only the meaning matters

9.       The more we look into overlapping similarities with people around us than differences, the life is more peaceful

10.   "A fool sees himself as another, but a wise man sees others as himself."       — Dōgen Zenji         

11.   Our competence is measured in the difference between what we wanted to do and what we have been able to do

12.   "Those who know do not speak. Those who speak do not know." — Lao Tzu

13.   The problem in a multilateral world is that either we doubt too much or trust too much

14.   Having an opinion costs mind the peace, when there is no opinion, the mind has nothing to pay for it is totally free.

15.   You only lose what you cling on to ~ Buddha

16.   Each religion is like different rivers flowing into the common sea of ultimate truth, to liberate man from all these miseries and attain salvation. But what we try to do is construct a dam on the path of river and obstruct it's flow for materialistic needs.  No idea can give complete salvation mankind other than the ultimate truth, capitalism has given sophistication at an expense of greedy competitive mindset,  it's vulnerabilities stands exposed in this pandemic, socialism is like in the world of the blind the one eyed man is the king. The question shall be answered by prolonged introspection without bias. The materialistic desires are like the porous vessel that cannot be filled how much ever water is poured in it.       ~Views are personal

17.   Seeking the answers with a mind that is preoccupied, is like finding the sun that is covered by the clouds

18.   All our problems shall cease to exist when we stop living in all theories and start living in actuality derived from reality.

19.   Happiness is not about having many possessions, but not possessing a possession

20.   The mission of meditation is not to have a mission

21.   Fear will make you a prisoner, hope will set you free.

22.   What we perceive as our image is like the mere length of a shadow, dependent on the sun and which time of the day.  But what remains unaffected is the reality.

23.   We are excited to see the beauty of leaves and flowers on a tree, but rarely are we excited to see the roots that hold the tree together.

24.   We can capture the world with our mobile camera, but not the periphery of the same mobile. We can see everything in this world with our eyes, but we can't see the same eyes on our own.

25.   The secret recipes for happiness:
1) Nevermind what others have in their mind

                2) Mind your own mind

My memories with MS Dhoni

My memories with MS Dhoni : In December 2004, during a half yearly holidays in my high school he came in as a fashionable young wicket keeper, had seen many specialist keepers come and go in that period such as Parthiv Patel, DK, Ajay Ratra, Deep Dasgupta, so was not having any awe in him and getting a run out in hurried manner wasn't an impressive first showing. Was ignorant of the facts behind then, that he came from 3 centuries with India A in Kenya. Slowly as the days progressed, one rainy noon on the summer of April 2005, came back from an Annual exam to see India scoring more than 300 runs in the ODI against Pakistan in Vizag, from the scorecard saw that there was a change in batting order with MS Dhoni at 3 scoring 148 runs at a quick pace, but even then didn't have an awe in him. Days progressed through 2005, near a Deepavali day I was having a holiday, there was an ongoing ODI series against Sri Lanka, the series was already decided with India had won it comfortably al

Transformation of data and analytics with information technology

The world we are in is driven by data. In other words, Data has been the backbone behind this transformation with technology. In the early days, trade was driven purely by commodity exchange for which the data was captured in numerics. Later, after the invention of coins and subsequently printed money the idea of market expanded with the printed money being able to be a common currency. For this study, let us take the emergence of the United States' economy.

India's Economy - Thinking through the Journey and the Road Ahead

What comes into our mind when we first hear the word 'India'? Diversity? More than 1000 year old monuments? A land of wisdom? Crowded places? The skyscrapers, fast highways may come as the last pictures in one's memory. India has always been a great place for pilgrimages wherein people come in the quest to understand the true meaning of the life that has been given to them. People of India come from the ethnicity of saving and trying to live a life with contentment. But this contentment has been slowly fading in the age of consumerism. Let us see the journey of India economy and its chances of blooming in the future. The Journey: Years 1947 to 1990 :  After Independence, India had adapted the socialist and protectionist principles mainly assuming that adapting capitalism would be letting something similar to East Indian Company through the back door after attaining independence. So the state was keen to keep all the powers and licenses of businesses under its co
