Welcome to Dhawal Banker's personal blog!

Guys, this is my personal blog, and I am planning to change the way I used to write on this blog or rather I would like to change the topic of my blog subjects.

Till now my blog post were mostly inspired or targeted by political news. So, this change over or rather version 2.0 serious blogging (I would like to call that), aims at
  1. Writing better and more meaningful posts.
  2. Write on my personal experience with life, which I feel are curious, interesting, might help others or at least bring humor to the reader.
  3. Get free from political blogging, but not in absolute sense. If the content fits in above category then this rule might be loose up.
I am going to target one post per month, lets see how it goes.

Of course, any blog or blogger is incomplete without getting feedback from readers. I would like to hear from you, either in comments or you can write directly to me. I will make sure that I reply to each and everyone of you.

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...
