Frog in the well mindset

We can only think within the limits of what we know, I believe everything is stereotyped in this society

Education and Intelligence - Getting into a good institution, getting good grades marks intelligence. A stupid way to rate a person. The amount of creative thinking, problem solving, looking at different perspectives is what means a good education.

Relationships - Attention seeking mindsets, Proportionately a lot of causal ones than looking at meaning of life. Relationships should start on a low note, proceed exponentially into a healthy and stronger mode. Its the other way. Attraction, infatuation and finally move for next attraction.

What makes a good life - The worst definition is wealth, looking good in eyes of others.

Where is Knowledge in all this - With so much stereotype fed in our brains all the decisions will be biased and nothing we do will be a reflection of our knowledge. Education without knowledge, Intelligence without wisdom. What a life ?

Parenting - Instead of teaching kids the differences, myths and breaking perceptions we feed in the same garbage what was told to us. Education that does not make you think is not education. We have so many regions but we don't have empathy. Education without morality is all what we are left with.

Emotional Health - How we need to make decisions, What are pros and cons to be thought through. How to make meaningful decisions that gives both peace and happiness for both our self and people around us.

In a world of attention seekers only few people grab attention of soul. All this thoughts bubble up in cab conversations with my colleague.

Unless you keeping learning or you will always remain as Frog in the well stereotyped with assumptions fed in your brain.

Happy Learning!!!

Keep Your Mind Open!!!

Types of wealth which leads to "Peace of Mind" :-

1. Financial (Money, Investments)

2. Social (Status, Friends, Family)

3. Time (Freedom, Time for self)

4. Health (Mental, Physical, Immunity)

Build life in such a way that you are wealthy in every category.

Yet another day to travel to unlearn and relearn...

Happy Travelling!!!

All the world is a Stage

I wonder how life would be if god would have felt the pain of

• Not being able to get good education and ending up jobless ?
• Living in 20's uneducated and jobless and wasting life ?
• Situation of not knowing whether I would get next meal ?
• What does god mean to all those who are not able to meet daily needs, Do they deserve such situation ?
• If all the caring/ sharing what religions taught then why would we have so much inequality in this world ?
• Survival vs Living vs Stacked up Society vs What really we achieve in this life ?
• Doing something good for humanity matters above everything, Poor education standards, lack of moral education ends up generations of clueless people, neither knowing how to live to how to learn or how to earn ?
• Wasted education, misguided by movies, driven for money ends up lost opportunities 

When we lack quality education it ends up creation of generation of educated illiterates. Its a pity how so much amount of propaganda is done for wrong news whereas the right things go unnoticed. The fundamentals of values, quality education are the most important that steps the direction of rest of life. Access to good education is also important. The importance of life / education / money changes from time to time, When you step out and look back you see how far the extremes exists in this world.

The best thing in the world is to teach / educate / help genuinely than faking it.

Stay Alive, Be Kind, Keep going..

Keep Learning and Living!!!

The daily lesson

It is a constant battle within the self balancing emotions vs practicality. Take chance quit your job and try the things you love to do. Think about the financial commitments and balance them out. If you don't work for your dream you will work for some others dream.

The biggest battle is fighting within our self to outperform ourselves and be the best version of yourself. Loneliness is not being able to do things you love to do but being limited / constrained in our ambitions / goals. We cannot change our-self for the world.

Life has personal, professional, financial and emotional goals. The biggest self realization comes within the self. Success in life means a lot to do with values, principles and less to do with money.

Often you get attention for your material value. This is the fact and irony of life. Broken relationships teach a lot, Broken promises teach a lot. Failed goals teach us a lot. A lot of perseverance in life to keep things going.

Live Well!!!
Live Well today!!!
Stay Focussed!!!
Keep Walking!!!

Live Life King Size - Create New Habits to Align with Goals

Summary from the talk

Our brain is programmed to live in comfort zone. We are not programmed to take risks, explore new things. Our minds are designed to stop us doing anything that hurts us. We have a habit of hesitating. Our brain magnifies risk. We can truly face every single problem. 

One decision away from totally different marriage, totally different life, totally different job, totally different income. Emotions impact relationships. Learnt to control those micro moments. Change your decisions. 

Don't let fear make decision for you. When you are scared and afraid you will point finger at others. You know what to do but you don't do it. Everyone is one step away from set of instructions.

Go for walk, Start running again, the problem is in your head, thinking. Knowledge of what to do vs feel of doing it. Tomorrow is the new me. Your brain helps you to remind you of intentions, it is important to develop the skill of knowing and hearing the inner intention. 

Move as fast, change your inner self. Realize the answer in me, pay attention. Beat your old habits and take a step forward achieving your dreams.

Interrupt old habits, Count to awaken your brain to learn new things, changing behavior, starting rituals (Counting), Writing, Placing holders, Set yourself for success.

Happy Living!!!

The Life of Learning's

When I was young
I was amazed with Cars!
I never understood education only marks mattered
When I passed my 10th I wished to become Engineer (Inspired from neighbor)!

When I was in high school
I studied every subject separately never correlated the concepts
I bothered more for marks and less for knowledge

In my College
I never connected the dots
I was learning - passing - unlearning

In my Job
I was testing Windows without knowing how it works
I studied Win32 programming but never applied in context
I was hardworking but never worked on something big
Domain knowledge paid way to be technically strong
I swiped myself and learnt Databases from my mentors Edmund & Roji
They are my inspiration in many ways

After my 30's
Nothing fills the soul except good education
I learnt to learn well
I learnt to connect dots
I finally understood Maths + Databases + Physics
My masters opened my eyes for learning
I became a student in 30's

In my personal life too
Sometimes I lost myself to find myself
Sometimes I disappeared only to be understood I am strong
Sometimes I accepted the things I can't control and let it go
When I look back I was old enough to see time has moved on

I wish I could rewrite some of the stories much better than how it ended. The journey continues..

Happy Learning!!!.

Technical Ideas - Work Life Balance

A few months of efforts to purse pet projects, attempting to do a good startup idea, trying to work on technical learning's. A busy hectic life. It takes so much time to understand technical idea in and out and implement it in several concepts. The fundamentals of learning is very different in different periods of life. In a way I feel scared to understand how we manage to keep up our learning's as we grow old. Personal priorities sometimes the things we miss out are worth it, as we need to spend time to achieve things we would like to do. So far it has been a fantastic journey. Met a few people who were both a blessing and a lesson.

I find happiness in the wow moments of making POCs, working on ML, DL Ideas. Everyday with the amount of papers published there is a lot to catch up in Analytics space.

Technology keeps changing at a Rapid pace. We need to keep learning to be on top of it. A bad day at work is a negative feel for me, A good day means able to create something out of interest, ideas and see something concrete towards the implementation.

Sometimes I regret losing life personal front. Often the hurt that left us harder to understand people we meet. It takes so much effort, learning to reach a certain situation in life. Personal learning's, Professional goals, Financial needs, the big picture, meaningful connections are super critical to focus and keep going. Its hard to relate to someone who does not believe in similar mindset.

Doing a few meaningful research papers, creating meaningful products, constantly pursing learning and experimenting new ideas, a bit of healthy lifestyle that's all makes a fulfilled life. Sometimes you need to look beyond the regular aspects of life to achieve things your life. I am an Outlier.

My mom is someone who has always tolerated all my contrasting views, arguments. She has a ton of patience to listen to my arguments, fights. The freedom, the boldness and her support is the key reason for what I am today. Being open and transparent is both good and bad. Good because you convey and forget. Bad because it hurts people. Working on to practice compassion and trying to become a better version.

In the end journey continues for both knowledge and passion to do something big.

Keep Learning, Keep Walking!!!

Back to Childhood days

Many of us would have seen the below pic if you have born in 90's / 2K period in India. I have done it and played like this once.

It just happened I had to experience the same today. The flat type I had to tow it like this to a nearby shop. I did get everyone's attention :). Yes, a big kid playing with SUV tyres.

This is the tyre and the screenshot of the shop. Its good when you do things whatever you liked once upon a time, I had to lift it, carry it, pull it with hands, get some dark marks with the complete dust.

The type was partially damaged and still usable. He advised me to drive with care for better maintenance. He was a nice person. His quotes in Hindi had a meaning. 'Agar Aap Tension pe drive karenge toh Kuch na kuch hoga. Jitna aap Darenga Duniya Aapko Darega'.

Good Guy, knows his work. Finally left with a smile after the lesson!!

The unexpected trail of events

Every trip offers something to remember. This Monday had such a trip. I started off by midnight. Took a route which one of my rental drivers took few months back. Ended up going 30 km against the expected route. This was mistake. My assumption was there are multiple routes and finally everything will converge. After driving for an hour, Ended up Flat tyre. Spent couple of hours 1.30 AM to 3AM on road waiting for assistance. Again started back driving 4AM and reached in morning 7.30AM. The drive made me tired, sleepy, exhausted and couldn't drive well in the morning traffic. Ended up going straight to work and then after 12 hours went back to sleep to compensate for all the missed sleep.

Initial plan was to reach early, sleep sometime and start for work. Ended up sleepless for 36 hours. What we plan is one part, what actually happens is another story. Good thing was there was a small little puppy on the place where I had to wait for assistance. Driving late has its own challenges. Although it was highway you have to spend time middle of nowhere to wait for assistance. When you are helpless and things go against your plan you need to be patient and think to make it work. I am not sure over speed, wrong route what options led it to this incident but again it also gives the possibilities of what things go wrong in a planned trip.

In the end its an experience to remember. Every time when I pass through the place I will remember it.

And the journey continues!!!

My Life of choice

When I look back I see my thoughts deeply aligned as Introvert

• Engage in Deep research / Working on extended pet projects
• Develop deep relationships with selected set of mentors / peers 
• Have a sense of pro activeness to Explore options and ideas

Education has added the institute, grades but curiosity filled the search of knowledge. I lost myself several times distracted for money, onsite opportunities, titles but I came back to academics and restarted my career and found everything makes me satisfied with constant learning and solving problems, I love to work on.

I also believe the same aspect of meaningful relationships even in partner selection. This could be the reason to be choosy, picky. Wrong choices make us change our priorities. Choose someone who values empathy, kindness and loyalty. Rest all can be managed.
