  • 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…

  • The problem of “Come and Do it for me!”

    In most of my blog-posts, I make it a point to write directly about myself. The idea there is to not generalize what I notice in myself for the rest of humanity. But then there are some observations that we can make that holds good for a large section of the population – which includes…

  • Machinery of the “Brain”

    I have been reading this book called Tell-a-tale Brain from V. S. Ramachandran. I must say that his books are just as pleasing to read as it is to listening to his talks. The book brings together the author’s findings from several years of research about the human brain. With interesting tales, research findings and…

  • Glad to get rid of my punch-bags

    Over the years, I have found out something about me – I am generally glad to find a punch-bag. Everytime I encounter situations that are uncomfortable for me, that are an irritation for me or that show me in bad-light; I simply go to my punch-bag and beat it up. The more I get present to…

  • Parking System at BUDAPEST

    Parking in Bangalore is an absolute stress. You never know if the parking space is available. Even if you do get a space to park the car, you never know if it will be safe there. (Although to be honest, it has been safe by and large). However, I just saw on YouTube an awesome…

  • Integrity. Without it nothing works!

    For most of us Integrity is about being sincere and honest. And “honesty is the best policy”. And sincerity is about being good and true to oneself. We keep going down that road and eventually land up discussing about morality and ethics in the name of Integrity. Following are relavent excerpts from an Interview with…

  • The origin of negation

    When we go about the world, we have expectations which are often not fulfilled. For example, I go to meet an old friend. I imagine that he will be happy to see me after all these years and that we chat for hours sharing about our lives. I go there and I find that he…

  • Equated Monthly Installments

    About two weeks ago we bought a 40×60 site in Shimoga, right next to my father in law’s plot. The site is in a good location. We hope to construct our house in there in about 10 years time and move there in about 15 years time. One of the top thoughts in my wife’s…
