 Writing and Reading are very important in our life. It has more depth than we can ever imagine. There are many questions about books. How one should pick a book? How to read fast? How to read effectively? And on and on. So today, I’m going to give you all I have related to book reading and its tips and tricks. How I use book reading in my life. Why is it important to read and many more things? Art of Book Reading How to Pick a Book? So the first and foremost question is how to pick a book? In this case, what I follow is Start Reading What You Like. When I was not a reader then I picked some books that I think could be interesting. You can always start with it. Pick some books that you think, are your area of interest. If you think you are not a reader but you’ve got an interest in book reading and you can read it easily then you can pick a book that comes in your area of learning.  So what I want to learn, where is my interest, and what excites me, choose a book that aligns w...

We often feel bored and I think it’s a good thing. If you are feeling bored then at least you know that you’ve got nothing at this time from which you are passionate about. It’s a time to be self-aware. It’s a time to know yourself better. It’s a time to find out the thing that you were enjoying earlier or to find new things that you could enjoy. I’ve list of things that I plan to do. I’ve list of things that I need to learn this or that. I’ve list of books that I know I need to buy and read. So I’ve never been out of work. And I enjoy doing my things. I am very passionate about my work. Like right now, I’m writing this blog post and I’m excited about it because I love writing. I love suggesting new things to others. I love sharing new things with others. What I do I share. How I do that I share that too.  We lack a spark for action. We don’t want to act. This is because you didn’t find out what is that thing that ignites you. It’s very simple but you need to get up and TRY as many...

Early Thoughts Before registering for the Vipassana, I was going through many ups and downs in my life. I wanted a break. I wanted a time where I could live a different life. A life that is different from the so-called normal life. Heard about Vipassana many years ago but that didn't catch my attention. But I was planning to go there. I think everything has its time and for me, when my time came, I was there doing Sadhana ( Meditation ). My parents got no clue where I was planning to go but when the time came, I told them that I’m going to Lucknow for meditation for ten days and I can’t talk to you on phone. They didn’t understand what I was doing with my life. And I told these things when the time was very near. It’s like if I am going after two or three days then I am telling all this to them. I told them that it’s important for me and they understood that.  They trust me!!! That’s awesome. Reaching There When I reached there, they allotted me a room. I met two friends, at that ...

There are many questions about ‘living in the present’. What it is? And how can we live in the present? Or there is really a thing like ‘living in the present? People have talked a lot about living in the present moment but now, let’s dive into some other aspects of it so that you can understand it from a different perspective. It’s not going to be linear thinking, you have to ‘not try’ to understand everything that I'm going to say but you need to just read and read carefully so that you could gain some insights about it. Don’t Catch the Present A linear kind of thinking sometimes could misguide you, when understanding the ‘present moment’, I’ll also focus on what it’s not. And I think that would be more beneficial for you because I or any other person can’t give you the ‘present moment’. It’s not a thing. Directly saying about ‘present moment’ could make a belief for you and that’s not where good things happen.  The present moment is not something that you can understand intellec...

Conflicts: A thing that is misunderstood by many of us. Because somewhere we think it’s not important or it has no importance in life. When we are in those situations of pain, conflict or we are struggling to solve the puzzle of life, we miss the point of these conflicts. We forget that this is what makes us stronger. This is what made me stronger in the past. And I think that is the only thing that has the potential to make all of us stronger.  Puzzle of Life Everyone got challenges. Every person is facing some kind of conflict. The question is why we get these problems in life. Is it our bad behavior? Is it our wrongdoing? Why me?  I’m calling it a linear thinking when we think only superficially. Why not go deep, why not ask more questions or why not understand this nature of conflicts or problems.  I’m and I was very fascinated by these kinds of things in life so that I could understand the problem so deeply. I could understand people better.  The way I've under...

Some months ago, Instagram added a new feature called ‘Favourites’. In this feature, You can add up to 50 people so that you can directly click on this feature and can access their posts. This feature is very helpful for me because I personally want some people’s posts to look at. I don’t want to miss their posts. That’s very important for me.  "In the morning, the first time when I open Instagram, I click on that feature and check my ‘favourites’. The content I want to see in the morning should be very inspiring for me and full of knowledge. You can also use that feature if you want to!!!" Instagram Favourites Feature 

“In my life, I’ve faced many ups and downs. And the one thing that I’ve understood is that if you keep walking then you’ll see the way as well as you’ll reach the end. I’ve started sketching/doodling more to convey the message because the image is a very powerful thing. I keep some notebooks where I doodle/sketch. I also keep a notebook where I write things that I need to work on. If you practice these things, this could help you.” KEEP WALKING!!!

" Y ou can not come to a book by a chance. And I think some of the books, you, if not directed by others, go step by step and if then you read, It will more fruitful rather than you go by any one's guidance. Like in spirituality (Don't just imagine that you know the meaning). If you by yourself go to a book then I think you can understand better. Try and find out the way you want to live."  Date: 29-07-2020 A  Note  I Wrote On A Book Page

We get comfortable in what we do. But deep down we are not satisfied with this comfortability. We feel less happy. We feel less active. And we think it’s not over yet. There is something more to find out that could fill the emptiness inside us. We don’t Know What to Do- At the start, we don’t know what to do. Where’s the way or where we are going. We just know a little bit about that thing where we are going to leap. At the start, there are doubts because we haven't walked that path. And we don’t know what will happen on the way. We get stuck sometimes and question ourselves and our decision. We Find Out What to Do but then... We, from somewhere, take inspiration and start that thing that we want to do. Luckily, we get this thing but it’s not over yet!!! We Face Some Problems and won’t See Our Goal- When we do something, we face some problems and sometimes we think that it’s not the right path. Problems could sometime blind us. We need to understand this image to understand that as...

A Life that is Worth Living- When I look at a child, I feel very happy. I feel that life is very good. Life is worth living. For a child this is different and for a so-called mature one, it is completely different. But what this maturity is when this mature person is not happy. Will you call that person a mature one? Happy in a sense where you are not doing any harm to others as well as to yourself. Listen full podcast here - Living in the Present- When you see a child playing, just look at the child and see with your whole being, you can understand so many things from a child but when I observe others, I also notice that we are so busy doing our things, complaining about so many things, talking about our problems only and what is going on bad in the world, that we don’t see the beauty in many things. A child is just one character from which I learn many things. A child is present in what he/she does. He/she does and then he/she doesn’t even bother to look at that event after some tim...

Let’s first understand the term “Pawn”- In chess, there are pieces, and one of the pieces is called ‘pawn’. There are also points for each piece and the lowest point somehow they give to the pawn is one point. But there is also a term in chess that’s called “promotion”, meaning if a pawn reaches at the last of the rank from its starting position then that pawn is replaced by a new queen, rook, bishop, or knight of the same color. Now, just think about it. These pawns have the power to change themselves to a queen, bishop, knight, and rook If they are alive and reach the last rank. This is the same pawn that they gave point one. And after promotion, they got more power and points as well. I think we are all aligned yet. And if not, You need to understand chess a little bit, at least what is pawn and pawn promotion. You are Valuable- We sometimes think of ourselves as a pawn, as something not as valuable as others are. We judge ourselves a lot. It could be because of circumstances or peo...

We all face this issue that, in this fantastic life, you sometimes feel stuck. You think life is not worth living or why things are happening the way they are happening. You feel empty, frustrated, or anxious. And at that time, a hell lot of issues come to your mind, and you got no clue how to act in that situation. You can listen my full podcast related this topic on Spotify . Role of Body and Mind- I think that you must be aware of this issue before this comes your way. Because this is a huge problem. This can lead to a point where you can think of ending your life. Though these issues are very temporary but it can give you very heavy trouble. This time, your mind and body both will not work the way it should work, so, be aware of it first. Or at least just know from this blog that your mind and body are very much responsible for what you’ll do in this troublesome situation. When this situation arises, most of the people, I know, don’t eat. Though I understand the situation of it. If...

A year ago, I've uploaded the first episode of my podcast, and the title I gave, was "Story of a fish and a boy". At that time, I wanted to understand the dynamic of podcasting so I just create my self-made story though I often use this story with others. So, what’s the story- A little kid found a fish, took that away from water because he thought fish could die because of water and he took action then fish died. End of story. Things to understand- Little knowledge is a very dangerous thing. That kid, though his intention was pure and good because of his knowledge, he took the wrong decision and that fish died.  I think life is like that, sometimes your intention is good but you’ve had not that much knowledge or information and because of your less understanding of things, scenarios become bad. My Philosophy- I think knowledge is very vast. you can’t know everything. When you think that you’ve got so much knowledge, it’s your lack of knowledge that is telling you that you...

Something to Say- Years ago, I was writing about what I'm going through in life, and till today, I write as well. When I look back, I introspect myself what was the thought process back then, how was my writing, and many things I get to know in that process. I’m writing these blogs not to give you some bits of advice, some tips, though I know you can take that too. The reason behind the writing, as well as podcasting, is that I’m creating all this so that I can look back after many years. This is documenting my journey, which I think could be helpful for many of us. It’s a journey of mine and may be It can help you one way or the other. I think we all have something to say but sometimes we think that it’s not worthy enough to say or we become confused about how it’s gonna help others. The way I understand people, is by dig deep into the conversation with other people so that I can understand his/her point of view. And what I’ve found is very much interesting because people love sim...

The problem that we have in life is how to manage our time, there are many things to do, there are many things to know, there are many things to learn, there are many things to experience. How should you manage your time?  Every person has a way to manage it. But then comes a principle that’s called the “80/20 principle or Pareto Principle. The word Pareto named after economist Vilfredo Pareto. The Pareto Principle or the “80/20 Principle” asserts that – 80 percent of consequences come from 20 percent of the causes. Differently, we can say that a minority of causes, inputs, or efforts usually lead to a majority of the results, outputs or rewards. This is contrary to what people expect in most of the scenarios. You can do a lot of work but if you are not doing it correctly that is your 20 percent, then you are not going to get maximum results. Your 20 percent of time spent are deciding 80 percent of the consequences you are going to face. 80 percent of results come from 20 percent o...

One day, My mother and father were going somewhere, I think to a hospital because my mother was not very well. I was in my home, my father started the car and they both were about to leave. When I got to know that I just run to my balcony and shouted that I’m coming too. After some minutes, I luckily joined. And we went to the hospital, though I was in the car when we reached, and my father and mother went there. I was alone, doing something on my phone and then a lady came and asked me for some money, of course, she was a beggar. I checked my pockets and I found nothing, I realized, I forgot my wallet, didn’t have anything to give to that lady. I said to her, I didn’t have a penny to give you. I was so honest that she could see that I’d forgotten my wallet or I had no money. This incident is very important for me because, after that incident, I’ve realized that Time is a very crucial thing. I realized that I didn’t have a penny to give, what a coincidence this is. We both had noth...

Life is very basic. There are ways to play it smartly. There are ways to enjoy it. There are ways to manage everything. The question here is, do you know your game? Do you know what are the odds of winning and losing? Do you know you are in the right game?   What I've done till now, I’ve understood that if you are not enjoying what you are doing then It’ll not give you enough value though it can give you an understanding of yourself and the dynamic of how things are. You’ve got the power to choose. A choice is a Power. So, use it.   Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe said that “Things that matter most Must never be at the mercy of things that matter least.”   The rule is very clear and basic that you need to do things where you are good at and that you enjoy the most.   I consider myself the happiest person in the world. That doesn’t mean that I’ve no problems. That doesn’t mean I don’t get any obstacles. That doesn’t mean that circumstances are always in my ...

I’m not a fan of watching movies. But sometimes I do watch. Here are some movies that I think You should watch. 1-   Interstellar I have a lot of love for this movie. The movie is about a team of explorers who travel beyond this galaxy through a newly discovered wormhole to discover whether mankind has a future among the stars. The movie defines love and touches other dimensions of life as well. For me, the movie is a collection of all things we possibly experience. 2-   Rockstar One of my favorite movies is Rockstar. This is a journey of a boy (Ranbir Kapoor) who wants to become a Rockstar, falls in love, and expresses his love in his songs. 3- The Wolf of Wall Street Sometimes you learn a lot from a man/woman that is not well respected in this society. I love this movie because of the tremendous acting of Leonardo DiCaprio. To know better, you need to watch the film. 4- 3 Idiots This movie is the story of three boys. Wherein two of them are searching for their lost companion...
