Commentaries on Living

 Completed reading the three-book series of Commentaries on Living, which was targeted to be completed in December 2020, but it was allowed to be completed recently after a bit of focus on this series after June, throughout this time frame we went through a lot of dialogues and talks from Krishna Ji in the YouTube channel. 

 This 3 book series of commentaries on living was written in the 1950s, based on Krishna Ji's dialogues with people from various walks of life, the politician, the spiritual seeker(which are the most part), the actor, and many other streams.

 Here we try to provide a glimpse of what it covers.

 When one is not able to understand oneself, there is no point in trying to understand others.

 All our problems stem from our reactions to actions, we never quite look into the action deeply, since our responses are conditioned and it is so rapid.

 For instance, when we are watching an IPL match when we are inclined to support CSK, we never quite see the match as is, but we just want to see things we want.

 The same applies to our day-to-day activities, when we see something beautiful we want to possess it, and when we see something fearful we run away, in either case, we never see the actuality.

 Thoughts are very much essential in factual memory, innovations, and so on, but when it comes to psychological entities such as lust, pain, desires, and so on, thought is destructive, as trying to solve a psychological problem through thought, can inevitably create more problems, those can be dealt through observing those entities (pain, pleasure and so on) directly with an open mind, without any psychoanalysis and eventually emptying the contents of the mind through the channel of meditation, which root is empty the contents of the mind completely and set oneself completely free.

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. From the advent of market economy starting 19th century, consequently there was a need for a banking system and public investment through stock markets and US had higher flow of goods and services, enabling a larger consumer base which meant the data was saved in paper and pen. This resulted in a need to store this data better, which the technology enablers started doing throughout the 20th century. So for this it needed to be stored in servers for there was a visual input and output needed. This enabled the pursu

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
