Looking Back at 2016

LOOKING BACK AT 2016 To avoid any preconceived notion about me, I resisted posting anything on Facebook except photographs. Starting today, that will change. That’s one goal I have for 2017. Photographs are safe bet. It’s hard to judge anyone based on their photographs compared to written posts. My goal for 2016 was to complete […]

What I Learned By Recording One Second Everyday for One Year

The first lesson I learned from recording one year of one second everyday: Commitment is more important than success because commitment takes you closer to success. Without commitment, it’s very difficult to move ahead in life and anything you do. I have failed at many projects because I sucked at commitment. I always have difficulty […]

Lessons from Crying Guy

I was sitting alongside the street watching vehicles pass by when I saw a guy stop his bike. He stopped and stood there for sometime until a woman arrived (who he had probably been waiting for). As soon as she arrived, he started crying. He walked out of his bike and kept standing on the roadside crying. They talked […]

Review Philosophies Before Living by Them

I have learned a whole lot of philosophies, techniques and teachings from books, essays and posts written by lots of specialists in their specific fields. I live by their principles and writings after I read their books or articles. But, it eventually fades away. I slowly start to move towards my own rules and way […]

Yawn is a Yawn (The Difference Lies Within You)

You yawn when you feel lazy, and also, after you’re tired working hard. The yawn is a yawn, but there’s significant difference between the two yawns. A person who yawn’s for laziness will never understand the yawn of a guy who yawns after working hard. In the same way, human experience should flow momentarily, with […]

Test Your Assumptions

When I was in School, we had to read a popular story of the Tortoise and the Hare. The story concerns a Hare who ridicules a slow-moving Tortoise and is challenged by the tortoise to a race. The hare soon leaves the tortoise behind and, confident of winning, takes a nap midway through the course. […]

Strip Off Your Comfort (Road to Voluntary Discomfort)

We all take things for granted. It’s only after we lose them, we realize about it’s presence and impact on us. Look at your body, you have eyes, ears, hands, fingers, legs, and almost everything you need to survive comfortably in this planet. You take all your body parts for granted. Handicapped people only realize […]

Why Taking Picture is The Worst Thing You Can Do in Any Life Time Event

My sister’s wedding just went in a flash. I was enjoying the moment, now it’s gone. When we look back after a year or so, we’ll be like, “Wow! time traveled so fast.” Life is fleeting. Lots of events that happen now will not make sense after 1000’s of years, but it does make sense […]

One Second Everyday (Going Back in Time)

I remember wanting to capture memories everyday. I didn’t want to miss even a single day of my life. I used to watch old photos of my childhood and get very nostalgic. I could go back in time and enjoy that moment, even if it was just for a split second of time. I loved […]

2013

I wanted to write a blog post about ‘Looking Back at 2013’ before 2014. But I missed it. I tried to explain everything that happened in 2013. So I couldn’t complete it on time. I chose interesting things that happened at 2013 and keep writing about it, instead of giving overview of what happened. I […]
