Have you ever seen, met person who is pursuing MBA or recently finished one? Evident characteristic of most MBAs is confidence. They are beaming with it and ready to take over a corporate job which is meticulously designed 'NOT to FAIL' Before anyone who has done MBA, decides to get offended. Let me share, I am holder of the degree. I am glad I pursued it and enjoyed good outcomes.  Yes, I believe corporate jobs are safety net for assured success rather protect you from failure. Even most risky moves, projects taken by companies guarantee 'non-failure'. Some projects, moves, products may not succeed but it does not lead these companies to fail. Confident MBAs at all levels in these companies ensure non failure. Leaders all around the world move with confidence. What they lack and never taught about is using guts.  Guts is taking a chance to be proven wrong. To fail willingly.  At no school guts is discussed. Value of failure, taking a risk when there is no guaranteed ou...

Challenges are ways to change.  They say people take 21 days to create new habit. Once you do something repeatedly over 21 days it tends to stick if you wanted to.  People generally take goals of weight loss of 10 KG, Writing a book, making a billion, starting a business etc. All seems overwhelming. They are if you wanted them to be. Good thing is they seem overwhelming to EVERYONE, even to people who do it often, who've have it before. If they have done it, you will be doing it too.  How they do it? Dream Big. Act Small.  Keep your dreams big, goals as they are. Though try actions which are small, doable and repeatable. Losing 10 Kg over 6 month time seems large, but exercise 30 minutes a day is a small change. Small change repeated everyday is going to lead to big change of losing weight.  I have found 30 Day challenge is another way of introducing small changes in your life. I don't use added sugar. This has been a practice over 7 years. It started with husba...

I recently finished reading Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari. Its a fantastic read. Yuval has done a mammoth task of summarizing 70,000 years of history in 400 pages. While reading a book(or even by living in this era) you realize how fast our world has changed and continues to change. One thing is startling fact, which we all fail to realize is that brain is not keeping up that pace. It is still same from ancient times whose main objective was to survive. It also uses the same techniques on perceived danger situation, fight or flight.  The brain that is constantly on look out of danger, sensing who/what could hurt/harm us. It is obviously evolved and dangers are now shifted from physical harm to emotional.  Don't try that, you don't know how to and you could fail. People will laugh at you. Don't ask, you could look like an idiot. Don't quit your job. You will lose your social standing.  Don't share your true feelings. You will be vulnerable, People could take advantage...

  I want to change the world.  I have always been pro change person. I like changes.  I lead changes.  I am fascinated  by changes. Changes, that many forms life has to offer, the way we look at things, the way we do things and things itself.  Now, more than ever I see many people saying that they wanted to change the world. Its good and inspiring. I have always tried to understand what it means to change the world. Here is what I have understood,  Change people's mind - Change people's mind on what they think, how they think, the way they act. This is applicable to all aspects of life.  Use new process, new tool, new product, read, write, sleep, meditate, eat plants, don't eat plants, eat meat, don't eat meat, dairy, non-dairy, water, less water, less energy, cash, cashless, use cars, don't use cars, shops, e-commerce, internet, use social media, don't use social media etc. List is endless. Everyone who wants to change the world irrespective of ...

The only thing constant they say is the change.  Losing my dad, my rock in year 2018 changed my life. It wasn't like I had never experienced loss before. Nothing came closer to this. It was pretty bad for mom, so 2019 I decided to be in India with her. While hubby continued in USA. Surprisingly kid too wanted to continue in USA, without me. It was surprising, little scary. I never thought she will last more than 15 days without me. To tell the truth after landing in Mumbai, I was almost everyday would be expecting to receive a call from hubby to come and pick her 😀 Spending time with my mom in 2019-2020 is yet another decision I am super proud of. It was a priority for me. It was much required time together for us. We laughed, we roamed around, we ate, we slept, we watched TV, we went on walks almost everyday,  we cried sometimes and more importantly we healed together. #Blessed When pandemic hit us in January 2020, no body could really imagine scale, spread of the virus, or ...
