Deploy your dreams into the world
On 13th September 2014, I gave a talk on “Deploying your dreams” to a group of 60+ 2nd year MCA students at BMS College of Engineering, Bengaluru. The talk was organised as a part of “Entrepreneurship Development” drive at BMS-MCA Department, where their intention is to groom students to graduate as entrepreneurs.
All the self-improvement programs…
I have gone through a lot of self-improvement, self-actualisation, self-realisation and “enlightenment” courses in my 33 years of life. The first self-improvement program I attended was when I was 15 years old! I recently finished my almost 5 year stint at Landmark, of which 1.5 years was as a Introduction Leader. At this point – […]

Once we start our careers, earn some money and gather some property (home / stuff-for-home / car / other fancy […]
Living a Transformed Life
Every aspect of “living” is a present-continuous process. For example: breathing, heart-beat, sleeping, eating food etc. In order live, one has to be breathing. It doesnt matter if one has been breathing for the last 10 years – if one isnt breathing right now, he is dead! Living a transformed life is just like that. […]
Moving at the speed of time!
Suppose that you are standing by the tree in front of your house. Suppose that a cycle and car pass by you in the same direction. You would probably observe two things: both the cycle and the car passed by you and the car moved faster than the cycle. If you dwell on this for […]
”on the contrary, it’s only through damaging the ego completely, and nullifying it, and then realizing that you’re still alive and it doesn’t mean anything, that you realize that it’s [the ego] not important…” – Hrithik Roshan Read the full interview here- http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-interviews/We-couldnt-afford-rent-Hrithik-Roshan/articleshow/9492955.cms
