As promised, I will talk about my interpretations on some of the verses in the Bhagwad Gita, which is a great source of inspiration for me on both, personal as well as professional grounds.

Choose Your Luggage.
If life is a journey, and not a destination, isn’t your life all about how long do you keep walking? The challenges that you face, the people whom you meet, and the experiences that you glean: it all adds up to count as memories in your life. And, unlike the materialistic aspect, your richness is… Continue reading

It is always good to keep your (in)abilities well bracketed. #suyogsutra
I know what I can do. But, I also know what I cannot – which is equally important. That helps me set achievable goals and workable standards so that I keep myself motivated.

The milestones of righteousness, self-analysis, acceptance, corrections, invention, and acknowledgment. The journey begins with righteousness. We must first learn to know… Continue reading

Weaknesses
Weaknesses are our greatest threats, but to have a threat is by itself the great weakness. We, all of us, are held, tied-up in strings that we invented ourselves. The strings that aren’t really there. The beads that form the strings are made-up of our “assumed” weaknesses and threats. We assume that they exist just… Continue reading

Attitude
Attitude is a matter of habit for some. Others, are just habitual of their attitude. I am of an opinion that you can win over any challenging situation, provided you carry the right attitude. And, no challenge is too big for you to win over if you remember the path to the right attitude. That’s… Continue reading
