Thank you 2018
Welcome 2019

Keep Going!!!

Year of 2018

2017 / 2018 were very good in terms of both professional and personal success. It's been a great learning in both areas.
  • Professional Learnings - Code More, Learn more, Connect more with people, Experiment more ideas. Good with the progress but still we can improve the momentum and speed
  • Personal Learnings - Stay away from relationships which pulls you down in life, Bury some relationships no matters it's family/friends/ potential partners
  • Travel - This year expanded the horizons with nature with Coorg, Madikeri, Dandeli, Chickmangalur, Dharmastala. I slowed down a bit in momentum when things hit the ground in my life. In a way look around and observe and learn to understand there are people who carry heavier baggage than you
  • Charity - Yes a good amount of charity I keep doing it. Whatever I have in my life I hope those bits and bytes lighten up someone's life. Swanthana, Udhavum Karangal, Other medical help, Provisions :). 
Since everything has to be data-based, I plotted data based on my intuition for this year. I know the peaks and lows accordingly I normalized it. 
  • Personal life - Screwed up but stabilized
  • AI work - Ups and Down and Still going
  • Learning - Finally going in the right direction
  • Health - Needs attention Emotional and Physical Wellness
Data - Visualization - Insights - Learnings :)




Looking forward to 2019
Let 2019 be a year of hard work, more milestones of good machine learning projects, built and find meaningful relationships, unload all the old baggage and march forward for a brighter future.

Make every day a little better than yesterday

Apart from books like Subtle Art of Not Giving Fcuk these blogs, videos from Issac Asimov, Jordan Peterson, Tony Robbins and Carl Jung were useful to learn understand different perspectives of Life

Wishes for 2019 are



Keep going, Keep Growing, Keep Learning!!!!

Love @ Different Stages of Life - Day #29

We are driven by emotions and connections at different stages of life.

Unconditional Love @ Childhood
  • Demanding the endless attention from parents
  • Being adamant and getting things we wanted
Love @ Learning
  • The wow effect when your code gives the result you wanted
  • When you connect the dots of concepts
  • When you feel the concept more than marks and grades
Love @ Romance
  • Movies spoiled my concept of Love @ Relationships
  • Wait for calls / endless texts
  • Making each other feel special
Love @ Doing things we Love
  • The things we dream in life
  • The long drives, the lonely walks
  • Feeling the mist, breeze, seeing the magic in regular life with the fascination and beauty of what we didn't notice it 
Love @ Kindness, Empathy
  • Often helping strangers, being kind to people we connect with is what life makes meaningful
  • Part a ride with a smile
  • Do something for charity 
Love @ Finding Yourself back
  • We change jobs, We lose people, We meet new people
  • Some people are their for certain duration, As we part ways sometime it breaks us (Incompatible choices @ Job, Life)
  • This takes us to get our next level of self
The absence of love is pain, Do everything with your attention, passion and love. The moment we recognize life is short, focus on living our true emotions, We are all good.

Life circles around "learning, kindness, empathy"

Keep Rocking, Keep Learning, Keep Going!!!

Stages of missing something close to your Heart - Day 28

I missed my Terrano for 3 weeks. This 3 week has been a different perspective of life
  • Guilt - Initial 10k I did drive a bit harsh but later I slowed down and drove gently. There is a bit of guilt. Did my driving result in fuel injector issue?
  • Respect - The issue happened while driving back from Hubli. Even with the issue I slowly drove the vehicle. I have huge respect for it. It was performing poorly but I didn't want to screw it up. I am grateful for it for the 20k I drove, the ups and downs, my lonely drives, all my good bad moods it was my companion to look up to
  • Missing Days - I felt bad with all dirt, dust, engine condition after the trip. You have bought it with so much love you should maintain it well too. It took a while for parts missing. I was a bit desperate initially but again it resulted in being at home, studying at weekends. I had full faith in Surya Nissan team. Bunch of amazing folks.  It feels like a family. 
  • The beautiful day - Today when I saw it. It was like a blessing. The engine sound was like a cry of a newborn baby. Excellent service and drive felt like smooth and consistent. I touched my Terrano and prayed with respect, gratitude before starting off. The things I missed in it developed my gratitude for it.
  • Health check-up - After few weeks gap, it came back like a monster. The stunning finish, awesome service. Felt like even I got to service my thoughts and life to at times like how I got my Terrano boosted to 2.0
Thank you, my dear Terrano. My friend, My companion in all my Ghost Rides.

Welcome back!

Emotional Wellness - Day #28

Ending the Year with beautiful Lessons and thoughts. When the mind is free there are no thoughts and nothing to post :) Got my Ghost rider back. The sound of the engine is so smooth. Surya Nissan Team is awesome. The folks were very friendly and supportive. It had a tough start but I guess its like a family connecting with them. Some beautiful quotes for the day.

Got my big brother (My Terrano) Back. The most beautiful thing that happened in my life past one year is my beautiful ghost rider Terrano. My gratitude for it for being with me in all my ups and downs


Have a great day!!!

Emotional Wellness Day #27 - Cycle of Learning





Happy Learning and Self-Realization!!!

Emotional Wellness #Day #26 - Happiness

Happiness is a sum of
  • Pride of achievement
  • Moral compass in deeds
  • Regrets of past, Guilt from past 
  • External beauty minus inner reality
Fair is foul, foul is fair from Macbeth. It just takes moments to destroy lifetime principles and moral compass but the guilt stays for a lifetime. People who do not share your values will Rob your happiness.

Feed the Angel in you. Starve the devil in you. Never compromise yourself for situations, a dignified death is better than a guilt-ful life. Knowledge doesn't come from being employable. True knowledge is the quest to go beyond boundaries, learn and share and be a true seeker of self.




What I do Lately these days :)

Keep Going!!!

Emotional Wellness - Day #25

Small Appreciations go a long day. One of my EMDS friends gave his feedback for my blog. He scored more than me in all semesters :). His positive feedback is a little encouragement to share more as I learn.



Also, Quora follower gave me loads of encourage for the optimism and positivity.


Yea, Like what we feed in us, the kind animal or the cruel animal makes the differences.

Feed the angel in us and the devil will find its way out.

Keep Learning, Stay Kind and Keep Going!!!

Emotional Wellness - Day #24

Two movies I saw recently did hit me hard - Aruvi, 60 Vayathu Maniram. Both movies depict the life beyond the materialistic, consumerist world. Driven by needs, Driven by money.  My life has slowed down a bit very much. I neither look for money, nor look for attention, nor run around my goals.

A lot of self learning, some personal goals to do big in AI for social cause. When knowledge runs supreme you know what you feed your mind. I really like the analogy. Our mind has a black dog and a white dog. White - Kindness, empathy, care. Black - Anger, Jealously, Cunning. Its in us what we feed the most that in-turn feeds our habits, thoughts, actions.

A certain amount of education, decent amount of money, live independent because when you can't earn money then you get dictated what life is. The run for knowledge needs education and money. There is a thin line to balance the world else we will end up in the same race. Stay awake and be aware.

Enough life, lets pause it, slow down. Took a long walk and stopped to drink few tender coconuts, bought some fruits, looking at busy life and wondering everyone running for their goals / dreams / money ......

Life is short, Live it well.

Keep going!!!

Keep Learning - Open up the mind for new learning's

Quest for knowledge fuels the learning. Einstein,  Richard Feynman, Michael Faraday, Galileo  - Great physicists and mathematicians are self-taught to a great extent. Personal learning can make miracles and passionate efforts will never go waste.

Relationships, Friends, Jobs, Places they happen / change from time to time. Some people come for short duration, some people travel for sometime. Wish them all good and bless them for the time of their life they shared with us.

In the end, The person you love and care the most should be the *self*. The *kinder* the self *tougher* the spirit. Success has a lot to do with mindset.

Keep going!!!

Remembering my Dad


It's been three years since my Dad passed away. Be it for getting my admission for first standard, fighting for my XI admission both my Mom & Dad struggled for it.

Our heated debates on choosing Hindi as a second language. Always he used to set me a high bar in both education and professional life.

As time progressed the gap between us widened and yes time flies. He always wanted a four-wheeler. A year ago I got a four-wheeler but my Dad wasn't there. Things my parents wanted me to achieve in my life took time.

He was known for his passion for work. There is both good and bad in every person around us. If we keep judging everyone we will be left alone. Sometimes it's better to be kind and spend the time than just regretting with past memories. I am not sure If I fulfilled all my duties as a son.

Probably I learnt everything late in my life :(. The differences we have with people in our life is nothing when compared to our short timeframe of life. Letting the kindness grow in us is what matters in the end.

Sometimes loneliness does give the required mindfulness to understand our life in detail.

Missing my Terrano

Its been few weeks I am off from Road Trips. I have never missed my Black Angel for so long. But these days turned out to be marathon of learnings. For every door that closes there is something that is open to move forward.

Keep Learning!!!

Emotional wellness #Day #23 - Freshness in Idea

Often I read through a lot of concepts again and again from multiple sources. It is repetitive but I find the break / intuition for newer perspective only after a certain momentum / practice /involvement. Also, Every new revision provides a little more clarity on the dark areas.

Learning - Coding up - Fixing own mistakes - Read Research papers - Blogs - Again Repeat Cycle.

Ideas can be put in cold storage after they reach a certain level of outcome. But ideas to have the freshness we need to document it / with enough details to reuse it fresh with all the pointers learned.

Dream More - Learn More - Achieve More. In the end we are here for a short while. Lets make a meaningful learning and have a positive impact.

Keep Learning!!!

Emotional Wellness #Day #22 - State of Being Present (*Now* )

Different States of Emotions
Feeling Broken is a state of mind
Feeling Defeat is a state of mind 
Happiness is a state of mind
Past is an event which does not reflect the current state
To stay in the present state is the most skillful thing to possess

Focus now for Unseen Beauty of Future
Focus will reflect the determination
Determination will reflect in the attention to details
Detailing will reflect in insights
Insights lead to knowledge and learning
Learning reflects in better perspective

No matter how bad is the past but focus on the present can entirely create a beautiful future. Detail your life and make it beautiful, better and focused

Happy detailing

Startup Idea - Emotional Wellness - I own my data

App that will collect data about activities, communication and report you with insights about your activities

The difference is

  • It will collect your data from applications (UberEats, Paytm, WhatsApp...) you provide access to 
  • It will anonymize your user information to generate crowd intelligence
  • Option to destroy it with your consent (Charge a little$) - Revenue Model
  • Recommend you based on data we collected 
  • The purpose is for emotional wellness (Online Time Spent / Emotional wellness by parsing your text / communication)

Hope this idea works safeguarding both privacy and anonymity. Today I don't have an option to erase my data from google / twitter / linkedin. When I sign-up I *never read* (My-Bad) all the terms and agreements. I hope sometime we will find companies which will delete data with our consent.

Happy Thinking!!!

My Dear Daughter

Long before you were born I started loving you
I can't wait to hear your smiles and your first cry
I dream of holding your hands teaching how to walk
I dream of seeing you running all around in your early ages
I am waiting for those sleepless nights and endless run following you
I am waiting for the day for my shoulders to pain holding you
I am waiting for the day for your hugs when I am back from work
I dream of you my angel
My dreams, My cries, My happiness, My life is all you
Waiting for my dearest angel!!!

Your Loving -Dad-

I hope after years years, I can share it with my kids. Brighter future, Keep Dreaming, Keep Going!!!

Emotional Wellness #Day#19 - Why to hurt, see the smile

Oh yeah the people close to us will always advise us forever. My mom, my siblings, friends, everyone. The people who were once close to us or people in our family/friends keep hurting us. We get hurt only by people close to us. Some relationship is by blood, some by situations, some by places we travel...The irony is we can't get hurt by people other than who are close to us. It's hard to sort out but again we can't let go some blood relationships. Pause the moment, disconnect the thoughts, only time can make this less conflicting. Hurting back does not solve anything good. Anyway, they were once on good terms with us. Seeing people happy who were once known to us is a better feeling than hurting them. 

"Let the heart be big even when the cash is less :)"

When we can't hurt strangers we can't hurt people close to us. Let kindness and happiness shine everywhere.

Stay blessed.





Keep Going!!!

Emotional Wellness - Day #18 - Focus - The key for everything

I went for a long walk alone in a stretch, After going for a mile I hit upon a block, I stumble and find it had hurt me enough, after a bit of scrutiny and pause, I walk forward the next mile, Again, I was hit by another obstacle. Mmmm, I stop look back and observe what did I do wrong for getting hit, After a brief pause, I again start walking. After a few miles, I pause and look around if those blocks are still there. Here the time to pause, time to reflect, time to recover is all part of the journey. For every few steps we go forward we look back or look around to observe, understand and reflect.

When we are focused to move forward irrespective of the things that happen around us, We will be reaching our destination faster than the rest. I always keep focussing on things I wanted to understand, absorb all the knowledge around us. I really hope to make big in AI for a social cause. I keep failing with Startup Ideas but I keep learning with every failure.

Life is good when I am with books, Life is great when I feel I have learned something newer today. I wish I find someone who has the same vision and perspective for startup. Keep Learning, Keep Growing

Keep in mind, Go faster so that you can live life more, learn more, Make the best use of knowledge, Rest in books, Learn from books. 

I wish to smile at death for all the learning I carry with myself and hope to be an inspiration  

Happy Learning!!!

Emotional Wellness Day #16 - Closure - Acceptance - Self Aware Self

Debating on past events, emotions, reactions and trying to repeat it again is a worthless pursuit. In a nutshell, the events have ended. Finding fault/ playing it back will serve no good purpose. Life holds the key and lock for every act we are involved with.

Key is to look at it as a point of reference and look with a bit of kindness and accept we are all humans, don't find fault stay kind. Sooner or later things will be fine. 

Live a life where each day adds up to the purpose. However little let there be meaningful progress. 

Let's Keep Going!!!

I lived a beautiful life Wondering this is all I am
Life was beautiful like the sun shining
I was filled with joy and enthusiasm
Those moments of failure pursuing my goals hit me hard
Those moments of people leaving me broke me down
It was dark and there was no hope
I wandered to find myself only to be lost again
Some stars need darkness to shine
I found my stars in the darkness
I understood I am an outlier
To be truly alive and walk on what you believe, you have to be an outlier
The new me taught me to be humble, kind and patient
At last thanks life for making me understand life is short, embrace kindness
Keep Learning, Stay Focused, Keep Growing
Leave a little sparkle wherever you go

Happy Living!!!

Feeling Emotions or Understanding Perspectives #Day #14

Looking back at 2018, I have immense respect for the time, the lessons life gave me.

It broke me to build me up emotionally
It showed me failures and gave me rewards for resilience
It showed me the lowest point of life to make me Strong, kind and patient
Success made me humble, failures made me passionate of next step for success

I turn to people/books/ ted talks/travel for answers which I don't have anywhere to look up to. Some answers I find in books, some answers in travel, some answers looking at other people lives, some answers when I feel the emotions.

We all look out to get the spark / feel the spark to understand more about ourself. A blessed year.

Day #3 - River Rafting - Blessings from Kali River

The blessings of Kali River and the breadth taking river rafting experience is truly a memorable one. The guide Bimal is from Nepal. The first few minutes of us to get down in the deep water and float with the Life jacket was amazing.

The amount of risk they endure in their job vs corporate life in Bangalore, I see the man as a real hero. Far away from home for his home, for his people, Working passionately on the job.

A bit of humor, extremely cautious, supportive reveals traits of a great human being in a person.

This made me feel light of myself from the thoughts/events that we witness around us.

Life is far less complicated when we leave things that hold us materialistically, emotionally. Spending emotions/thoughts are also like an expense. Life is also time bound. To look back each day and feel today is better than yesterday matters.






I carry with myself the spirit and blessings from Maa Kali River!!!

Keep Going!!!




Day #3 - My Terrano - A true hero

On the way return vehicle had issues in the electronic panel. When I called up they asked me to tow the vehicle. An alternate option is to drive slow. The vehicle is truly a rock star. It managed its best to get me back to Bangalore. I am truly grateful for the last one year It has taken me to places and being part of all good/bad of my life.



Happy Driving!!!

Dandeli Day #2 - Date with Nature

Nature and quiet environment teach a lot about the quiet, calm, mindful of our situation. Staying away from the internet is a rewarding experience.

Synthreric rocks - Nature and tall trees make us remember leave us alone. Far from the noise and pollution if Bangalore they remind the other side of the world









Supa Dam  - On the way spotted on the river Shiva linga and nandi statue. The view is good. It gives a lush green view of nature and the serene peaceful Atmosphere.




Roads - Remember the lines from stopping by woods on a snowy evening. The woods are lovely dark and deep but I have miles to go before I sleep...

Keep going. Let the child in us live freely and happily....

Logical Perspectives in Life

Sometimes there is no logical perspective in life. I remember my old conversations there is no right/wrong in this world. Such conversations only reflect peoples inability to accept or takes sides of right/wrong. The mind is a very effective and manipulative tool. What we interpret, understand in terms of right/wrong comes from our ability/understanding of values. To sum up what kind of people I wish I meet in life.

What impresses me - Simple person, No party/pub, Nerdy / Hardworking yet down to earth
What makes a person look good - good looks are a great way to present yourself but a good heart will take it a long way. Being emphatic / understanding is a rare trait one can have
What does not impress me - The confused, hidden motives, manipulative until they can use you till the last drain of blood

There is an element of selfishness in every relationship of life but truly we don't carry anything along with us in the end. Way away from the city / sitting in the sunset and observing things settle down in front of your eyes make you feel this is a simple life.

Live simple, stay alive and mindful.



Keep going!!!

Dandeli Day#1 Ride


A day to remember milestones
  • Completed 20k kilometers driving
  • Drove 500kms same day
  • Bangalore Hubli road is great, pleasant ride








Remember the good days nourish them. Keep going.....

Summary of 12 rules of life from Session

Summary of 12 rules of life from Session


  • Compare yourself to what you were yesterday 
  • Tell the truth, face the uncomfortable questions 
  • Career growth is proportional to the number of uncomfortable conversations 
  • Personally too when I am in the middle of nowhere I turn to books for both quests of knowledge and finding my inner self. Finding Myself!!!
Happy Learning!!!

People and Opinions

Often I meet conflicting personalities who make me think
  • Being emotional is bad
  • Judgemental is good
  • Hard stance in everything
  • Confused in perspectives 
We all believe our own set of values that gives success to us. It could be hard work, positive mindset, failures, mentors, and people who helped us in hard times. Life is a progressive realization of the state of continuously learning, seeing new perspectives, seeing ups and downs. A weekly retrospection is more important to clear off wrong ideas and judgments and also to prioritize going forward. This week positively present and a bit of confusion at times. Life will answer those questions which do not have answers for me.

Keep Smiling and Keep Going!!!

Make this life worthy enough to remember on the day of death, I am leaving as an Inspiration to the world!!!

Be an Eternal Optimist, Resilient and Never Given up person. The knowledge from learning and reading will liberate the soul.


Emotional Wellness #Day #11 - The Last bit of blood

While recovering from an injury, recovering emotionally, the last bit of emotion is often more painful in the end. I have always debated being emotions vs logical. A kind decision with empathy will always be right. A logical decision may or maybe not empathetic.

Like a snake that sheds old skin, birds which fly continents for the next season, its time to open new windows of hope, lets the scars, wounds heal and go with more optimism and hope

Time for travel, open your mind to nature, go places and lose yourself to find yourself again!!!

Some scars never heal, they make you kind and empathetic

Happy learning!!!

Emotional Wellness #Day #10 - Personal vs Professional growth

Life is good professionally even when personal space and emotions are not going great. I think both are inversely proportional in my case. The lonely nights and moments of the long drive where many ideas, thoughts, learning, continuously coding gave me the focus, pride and a bit of more perspective on things I wanted to know better.

Practice the same kick 10000 times and be better at it - Bruce Lee

Amidst all personal crisis, there is a ray of hope, thoughts, learning to broaden the perspective.

Keep Learning, Keep broadening your perspective, Keep growing!!!

Even my PC wallpaper seem to auto-suggest something coming in the horizon


Happy Learning!!!

Emotional Wellness - Day #9 - The trust of Intuitions

More often the lessons of past come with us as baggage in the future. The thoughts/habits / closed circles of parents influence lot of our thoughts.

Can we completely liberate ourself from the influences?
Assume you cease to exist from tomorrow what would you do differently today?
Have I seen/learned enough about the world to die with pride?
Did I teach / help / contribute to someone whom I am not related to?
What's my goal for a Social Cause, Why can't I spend the rest of my life for something that is bigger / better and useful for others?

The Deep network in everyone's mind has the same fears, hope, insecurity, scars.

To move to Develop Kindness, humility, optimism, generosity and shared the knowledge we need to keep the mind open, embrace everything, pause the thoughts and slow down and accept life than reacting every single event.

Highway Accident - Lessons to Learn

Last night while driving back I observed two wheeler hit by a vehicle. There was a pool of blood and slow moving traffic. It was around 11.30PM. There were many passersby and they were lifting the person to the side of the road. There were vehicles and crowd. He was not wearing helmet. There was a lot of blood spill.

I parked the vehicle a few meters away from the spot. I felt bad for the person. He was in his mid 30's. There were people around and passersby. There were a million thoughts running in my mind

  • The next day for his family
  • How his parents will accept this accident
  • His kids
  • Economic and Emotional Dependencies
  • What it is for a parent to see the death of his own children

After 10~15 mins after I felt ambulance/police would reach I slowly moved on. This thought was running in my head till now. Life ends instantly shattering all the dreams/wishes/ambitions.

This life is a short life, we don't achieve anything by rushing/being more manipulative or selfish.

Slow down / pause life, Its a marathon to run...

Drive Safe and Slow!!!

Find the True Self

We are born with abundant energy, positivity, happiness. Between the early age as kids we understand everything in a 'wow' perspective with the first touch, look, feel. Everything around is a new learning every other day.

Building personality, self, habits, values, education, career, life. Our education system, parenting underlines the importance of inculcating, teaching, mentoring and bringing the kids to understand the different perspectives of life.

A true aspect of an individual is to realize the self, understand the existence, observe the moment, look at ways to contribute to taking things to a more positive level in the environment around us.

Live more than merely existing
Learn more than merely doing
Listen deeply than just hearing
Do more than just acknowledging
Feel happy to shed the past
Love, Learn, Live that's all we can do in this life

Keep Going!!!

Happy Learning DL!!!

Local Minima and Local Maxima - Dopamine / Depression Effects

Many often the struggles in life are similar to the local minima/maxima we find using gradient descent to find our positive thoughts to move forward in life. Ever minimum point appears like a global minimum and every happiness appears like a global maximum. As we move forward in next step we understand its just a local minima/maxima not a global one.

Same applies to our thoughts of low and high points of life. Continue to rewire your thoughts, emotions and plans to compute the never give up, self-resilient and the best network that you can keep your mind in stateful, observing and mindful state.

Happy Learning!!!

A Short Story - Be Good

This was bound to happen

Once a highly successful businessman, running a health insurance company was getting ready to go to his office. When he reached into his car and opened a door, a stray dog sleeping under his car suddenly came out and bit on his leg! The businessman got very angry and quickly picked up a few rocks and threw at the dog but none hit the dog. The dog ran away.

Upon reaching his office, the businessman calls a meeting of his managers and during the meeting he puts the anger of dog on them. The managers also get upset by the anger of their boss and they put their anger to the employees working under them. The chain of this reaction keeps going till the lower level of employees and finally, the anger reaches to the office peon.

Now, there was no one working under the peon! So, after the office time is over, he reaches his home, and wife opens the door. She asked him, “Why are you so late today?” The peon upset due to anger threw at him by the staff, gives one slap to his wife! And says, “I didn’t go to the office to play football, I went to work so don’t irritate me with your stupid questions!”

So, now the wife got upset that she got a scolding plus a slap for no reason. She puts her anger on his son who was watching tv and give him a slap, “This is all you do, you have no interest in studying! Turn off the TV now!”

The son gets upset now! He walks out of his house and sees a dog passing by looking at him. He picks up a rock and hits the dog in his anger and frustration. The dog, getting hit by a rock, runs away barking in pain.

This was the same dog that bit the businessman early morning.

Moral: This was bound to happen. Reap as one has sown. This is how the life works. While we all worry about hell and heaven based on our deeds, we should concentrate more on how we are living and behaving. Do good, Good will come, Do Wrong, Wrong will come.

Emotional Wellness - Day #8 - Decisions Vs Time


Decisions always have a logic, rational, emotional perspective. Expressing things in anger/sadness / emotional also is an expression of disappointment/discontent. Any decision that we take today can be looked up as +10 years later how is this going to impact when I look back.

Thinking mindset is more important than emotional mindset. It's highly difficult to accept anything without thinking. In the Indian mindset, it is totally difficult to understand the parent's expectations.

To draw the line for expectations/ perspectives/emotions is more important to allow the self to be more rational/logical.

Keep the learning, thinking and the mind always open for the growth-oriented mindset.

Happy Self-aware-self!!!

Emotional Wellness - Day #7

My biggest asset, wealth in my life is my conscience, life, and my spirit. I have certainly seen the dead end of life and the lowest moments of depression. This life is certainly a blessing to show kindness exists. I dream to make big in AI for a social cause. All that you have for life is your dreams and working to make your dreams come true.

I am at a point where I cannot let anything be too emotional or logical. Only when the wounds go too deep you know how much pain you can withstand. Certainly, all one can have in life is a true self-acceptance, self-aware self.

The journey continues towards learning, knowledge, and kindness. Let no one hurt you and don't hurt anyone. Have the empathy and kindness and the ever better spirit to do well personally and professionally.

Calmness in mind - Relentless Fighting Spirit - Healthy body are the best one can have in life.

Finding myself and finding my true self. "Let the diamond in you give the spark and kindness that shines for itself"

Keep Going!!!

Emotional Wellness #Day 5 - Meditation

Oh Yea, All my thoughts posted are my personal opinion and my inference from my experience. 

Meditation / calmness / focussed quietness. If we look quiet intuitively anything that we do slowly will make us look deeply into it, check for the finer details of the picture.

The same applies when we do things like meditation or any slow-paced activity it slows down our regular pace. We will observe the usual things in a more granular perspective. 

In other terms, When we drive slow we get to observe/witness things around us. Similarly, when we stay quiet/calm and remain in empty mind it will witness chaos for some time until the dust settles down. Many things around us can be controlled in our emotions/feelings. 

That's why we hear the biggest achievement is conquering self!!!

This below video shows a Buddhist monk (flying monk). It takes time to pause, look at self and understand our limits, strengths and becoming self-aware self.




Does being with a group of friends help me feel good?
Does working long hours help me feel good?
Does going back to our relationships make us feel good?

All of these are mere substitutes and placeholders in the context of time to pause the moment. The real empty state of mind is to pause this moment and see us in context of the time the emotions/ acts/thoughts/actions within ourself.

Time is a fixed dimension. Our actions vary depending on our emotions. In a way, every state of action is not a deep thought but rather a transient moment of jumping between emotions, without an end to the loop. It's an infinite loop of endless emotions of expectations - disappointments - again expectations. How far we do this? Until the last moment of the breath.

Let's stop it here, The time is fixed, We can only do a certain amount of things in the run of time vs life. The higher reason/purpose / to look beyond ourself and see ourself as an entity not as a permanent thing is more important.

Instead of planning 100 things, It is better to do 10 things with utmost attention and care. Slow down, pause life, see the moment, seize the moment, plan the life. Live Well, Live like you are known for good deeds and words.

Happy Self-aware-Self!!!

Emotional Wellness #Day #4 - Focus - Driving - Neural Networks - Mindfulness

Driving has a lot of correlation to Life, Neural Networks. The optimal speed to arrive, where to slow down, where to overtake, balancing energy to drive consistently till the end.

Life battles can be related to unexpected vehicles issues/punctures. Some repairs make us stand still for some time. Yet, We continue to go forward in facing the challenges and continuing the rest of the journey. This life should be useful and an example to look at us for kindness, hard work, and empathy. More than money a sense of achievement, a purpose to look up to.

Do everything with love, share the knowledge. Hoping to make a big impact in AI for a social cause. Driving is exactly the same as meditation. Focus, Attention, Consistency everything matters.







 Dark Night - Rainy - Quiet - Calm and Peaceful Drive!!!

Happy Driving!!!

Day #1 - Emotional Wellness

After all the days of life, The moment I felt I need to know more about myself. This comes out from reading Geoff Hinton Papers. From Psychology to physiology to Artificial Neural Networks.

We know our thinking, perceptions, perspectives, emotions, reactions, experiences. How all of this is bonded together to create the happiness perspective is all that we call emotional wellness. Probably the empty space in mind or creating a pause in your life to let the emptiness result in a hunch, creating some breakthrough thoughts, simplifying our perspectives those are what we call as meditation and spirituality.

Every great motivational speaker/personality Jay Shetty, Rupi Kaur, Lilly Sigh or any familiar names that pop up for our search for motivation shows us their life and the turnaround from the point of depression to self-gratification, self-awareness, and fulfillment.

Rather than being more emotional / to understand the engineering of your thinking / feeding the right thinking patterns / extracting optimism from the experiences / continuously breaking our thoughts flow in a certain direction and allowing us to experience the different emotional levels are the key for self-aware self.

A small set of experiments, perspectives, reading, research papers I intend to share going forward as part of my self-learning.

Happy Self-aware-learning!!!
