Decade of giving back - 10 years of IITB!

-
Today is the day, 10 years back, I successfully completed one of the proudest things in life. It was 20th July 2010, when I finished my MTech from IITB and on 21st July I entered the world. 

IITB made me the person I am today. It's next to my mother. My curiosity and questioning attitude was in many ways motivated by the motto - ज्ञानं परमं ध्येयम्. This is going to be with me for the rest of my life.

I journey so far (from 2010 to 2020) was still about learning, learning, and self. Though I left job 5 years back, but the active contribution for the welfare of the masses (people) around me is yet to start. 

In the next decade (2020-2030) I am hoping to contribute to the masses, especially for the people of India. There are few desires for the family to be completed, but I guess it's just the part of the process. With the pandemic and all the challenges in the world, I guess it's high time to activity start contributing then to just thinking. 

I might need the first 2-3 years for some of my current obligations, but the next 7-8 years of the next decade will give me the opportunity to contribute better.

Looking forward to the next decade of giving back.

The Ultimate Paradox: How to Be Unstoppable by Giving Up Control

-
We live in a culture obsessed with control. We hustle, we grind, we optimize. We believe that with enough effort, we can bend the world to our will. And yet, for all our striving, we are riddled with anxiety, frustration, and the constant, nagging feeling that we’re fighting a losing battle. What if I told you that the secret to becoming truly effective, peaceful, and “unstoppable” isn’t to gain more control, but to radically surrender it? This isn’t a call for passivity or giving up. It’s a roadmap to a more powerful way of living, based on a profound paradox that, once understood, changes everything. This journey has five steps. Step 1: See the Universe as It Is—A Giant Clockwork First, we have to accept a simple, scientific truth: everything is a chain reaction. A tree grows because a seed was planted and watered. The stock market moves because of millions of individual decisions, which were themselves caused by news, fear, and greed. Nothing happens in a vacuum. This chain of cause...

   Steven Duneier's TED Talk: "How to Achieve Your Most Ambitious Goals" Central Theme: Achieving ambitious goals isn't about possessing extraordinary talent, but rather about adopting a practical, incremental approach to problem-solving and decision-making. By breaking down large goals into smaller, manageable tasks and consistently making marginal improvements to our process, we can significantly increase our chances of success. Main Points: The Illusion of Talent: Duneier uses the Brad Pitt drawing analogy and Chuck Close's work to demonstrate that seemingly complex skills can be broken down into simple, repeatable steps. Marginal Improvements, Massive Impact: Citing Novak Djokovic's tennis career, Duneier highlights how small improvements in decision-making can lead to substantial gains over time. Personal Transformation through Marginal Adjustments: Duneier shares his academic and professional journey, illustrating how breaking down tasks and focusin...

Absolute freedom vs ethical conduct

-
The apparent conflict between absolute freedom and ethical conduct. The Ashtavakra Gita and the desire to live a clean, ethical life seem, at first glance, to be at odds. Here's a breakdown to help reconcile these concepts: Understanding the Ashtavakra Gita's Freedom: Focus on the Self: The Ashtavakra Gita primarily emphasizes the nature of the Self (Atman) as pure consciousness, beyond the limitations of the body, mind, and ego. The "freedom" it speaks of is liberation from the illusion of these limitations. It's a freedom from the sense of being a separate, limited individual bound by desires and fears. Transcending Duality: It aims to transcend the dualities of right and wrong, good and evil, by realizing the oneness of all existence. This doesn't necessarily mean abandoning ethical behavior, but rather understanding that those constructs are within the realm of the mind. The nature of "doing": The Gita points out that the true self...
