Dream it. See it. Do it. Power of Visualization. Cool breeze. I vomit. The excruciating pain is making my head dizzy. Everything is turning into a blur. I try hard to stop moving my right leg, and slowly the world stops spinning. Things become clearer. Now I can feel the cool breeze. Now I’m hungry. Sri opens the tiffin box. There are idlis with coconut chutney fusing them. We are both hungry. He feeds me the first bite. It feels strange to be fed by a friend. I’m shy. I say I’m good; I can have

I think, Cosmos is a conscious being. It could think, feel and do just like us. Probably has more senses than we possess. We are limited by our senses. Our perception of reality is suitable to our survival. We see the range of spectrum where it matters to us. Just like few insects can only smell to find its mate. We see to find our food and flee from our predators and similarly our limited 5 senses. We think consciousness resides in our brain. Is it a memory? Is it a thought? an Electric signal?

Wisdom is taking decisions to your advantage. It might be moving to new city, or taking a new job or starting something on your own or ordering a meal. Problems are thrown at us day in and day out. To solve them is to break them down to smaller chunks and taking micro decisions. The ability to solve the problems depends on our knowledge of the reality we are in. The more we are aware, conscious and connected with the reality the more equipped we are to solve any problem. The day we are blinded t

…So there was this big old auditorium with plush red seats. I was the only one standing at the very first row from the top having a complete view of the wide dark empty space. It was something so grand and old , clearly I have never been there earlier. By the way, Do you think Past influences future or does future influence the past? For example, we know a living thing like a plant will eventually die. So is it behaving in such a way that it dies of old age? Or because it is behaving in such a w

I can’t bend my right knee beyond a point, after I met with an accident in 2002 I had PTS (Post Traumatic Stress) where my cartillege hardened while healing a fracture. The accident happened when I was riding a motorbike with my friend Srikanth on a particular road from our college to house. It was not the regular route we take everyday. The road is less travelled, literally. Hardly people use it to get to the city from this far off place where our college is located. It had a character of its o

I saw a man driving an old black Maruti Suzuki Alto on my way to work. I was going by cab and he caught my attention. While cruising at a decent speed on the flyover he was trying to take a ‘selfie’. I was not surprised but felt miserable at his actions. I was keenly following him and his rest of the actions were much more shocking. He immediately tried posting or sharing the photo on some app ( may be Instagram or Facebook ) all while driving at approximately 50KMPH. He was putting himself and
