Know your body

I have a bit of pain in my right-hand finger. I ended up watching the below dissection. The way how our body is engineered is awesome. So many connected muscles, tissues. More than the thought it makes us feel the power of all the human ecosystem.



Know yourself better!!!


Stay Safe

Very disturbing news every day

  • Death of kids, teens, adults, elders
  • Mass cremations
  • Now Corona has reached closer to everyone

Economically

  • Loss of Jobs / pushing people below the poverty line
  • Making healthcare expensive/unaffordable
  • Dropouts in education / Higher unemployment numbers

The cascade effects of this covid will impact every family in multiple ways. Physically, emotionally, financially fit in these stressful times.

I am losing the faith in humanity with more poignant pictures. Even if I feel like having symptoms the only option seems self-medication. I am not afraid of death but just hope for pain-free instant death than a prolonged illness. 

It's very sad and disturbing news seeing kids, teens who have not seen life at all falling prey to this wave. This exposes our inability, failed infrastructure. All that glitters is all broken to the core. 

I hope we learn the lessons, This lack of preparedness, denial model is biting us hard. Condolences, regrets are not going to bring back lost lives. How many we can save, how we can avoid, how we can be proactive is all that we could do minimally. I hope we have leaders who deliver than practice, work than denying reality.

Take care of yourself!!!

Help whenever possible!!!

Stay kind!!!

Regretful Life!!!

Need to think - Health


  • Got fitter, worked less
  • Taking OWNERSHIP of YOUR life
  • Cut out all the people that were “draining” me! What raced through my mind
  • I had been saved ‘by and for my children and that awareness guided my career decisions
  • Living and working in a manner that aligns with your values.
  • Embrace ‘No’ at work
  • Work smart not hard
  • Family is everything

Keep Thinking!!!

Build your brand

 Pointers from my readings

  • Reviewing products/use cases from other companies/blogs which we could adopt/take it next level
  • Showing futuristic vision rather than sharing what exists 
  • Sharing knowledge, creating unique content in their domain / adding their personal learning on top of it
  • Communicate outside based on your competency / Sharing personal pet projects/ideas beyond data science too
  • A conscious effort needs to be invested in identifying/recommending/building futuristic use cases and interaction with a wider audience.
  • People have to be looked up for both Data Science Expertise/ Domain Expertise. Both are equally important. Encourage domain certifications too.

Keep Thinking!!!


Lockdown day #1, #2

 


  • Own Cofee

Hopefully evening would be again ordering one more meal !!!

Rich vs Poor

 Do not go by Looks!!!

Life is hard!!!

Thoughts


"The meaning of life is to give life a meaning" 


Keep Thinking!!!

Missing family and kids

What I like the most - A small family for me

What I dislike the most - Relationships, emotional drama

Sometimes I feel death is good than struggling to please everyone around us.

We are not born to please, or be slave or follow someone 

Everyone has their own perspectives, views, let go of life, move on, find your path

Let this journey be on your own mindset, Leave alone people who pull you down. Better be alone 

Certifications

Certifications add credibility

Competency comes from experimentation

Every certification does not ensure competency

Feels like Semester after Semester after Semester

I feel like every 6 months is like a semester. Learn / Code / Blog / Read again repeat the same. I have been thrown different things and everything is something somewhere I read about / coded on my interests. It's like a semester after semester. I have aged but have become a Robo, Learning bot.

Learn, Eat, Code, Sleep, Drive, Think, Walk, and a little sadness at times.

Keep going!!!

Double up on your Strenghts

Rejection is Redirection

  • Failure does not mean that we should stop. We must reevaluate, make improvements, and move forward. Thanks for the inspiration and motivation! 
  • I'm going to allow myself to be sad for a day but WILL move on.
  • I going to ask for feedback, other opportunities in the company, and let my recruiter know that I WILL be applying again.
  • I'm going to succeed in my next role. I WILL become a more competitive applicant and gain more experience.
  • I'm going to focus on what's next! I have a midterm tomorrow 
  • After Rejection Our next Effort MUST be more impactful
  • Rejection is difficult because 99% of the time, they they are not within your control.

Keep Going!!!


Better Working / Better Visibility

Summary from Linkedin Reads

  • Work speaks for itself.
  • Be focused on Tasks and Goals
  • Always meet deadlines. Try to deliver ahead of schedule if possible!
  • Ask for details about the ideal result. Deliver on those details.
  • Pay extra attention to make your email and message communication more friendly.
  • What's one method that's helped you stay visible while working remotely?
  • Build internal relationships by reaching out to peers and partnering on projects.
  • Show your expertise. Find out what your colleagues are working on and see how you can help them with your skills.
  • Change jobs. If nothing else works, the last resort can be to change jobs.
  • HAVE A VISIBILITY STRATEGY - key for all remote team members as well as how to stay relevant to your organisation. 
Keep Going!!!

 

Dual minds

Two things I missed in the past few days

#1. I was in ATM, I was thinking about whether to buy chicken or get some fruits. In that thought, I left an ATM card. I went out for few mins then recognized. When I came back card was not there but someone had kept it on the left side. Thanks to the gentleman. It was a big relief.

#2. Today I went out to find a tender coconut shop. The shop seems closed then went for breakfast. In that thought of not finding I missed to get change for money I paid. In return, he called and gave me change

Whenever I am in a dual mind I miss whatever I am doing currently. Age is catching up possibly. I hope to die in good health. I don't want to be a burden nor live a life depending on anyone. Too soon I think I am done with Life :)

When death comes calling smile and kiss death.

World - The Good / The Bad

Experiments in Life

 




 

 

Sometimes we need to look back, take a deep breadth and see the beautiful things around us.....

Fixing thy self

 Last few days my system was crashing giving a blue screen. I had to update drivers, remove unwanted programs, scan, optimize and fix bad sectors. This blue screen of death is also a correlation to my mental pain for certain aspects of my personal life. In the same way time to time, we need to update emotional wellness, beliefs, thoughts. My systems also behave similar to my emotional mindset, This was a warning for me to get back to myself fixing/identify other better options to settle down, plan peacefully, focus on core strengths.

Win or lose make an attempt, drive till the end of the journey. It's not about results, Its the journey that matters!!

Beliefs

When I solve, find patterns with AI why I can't find a solution for partner search

One looks better than another, I am too confused about who is right

When both like it looks like heaven, when one person likes and another does not it feels like hell

Faces are beautiful when attitude shows up the interest goes down

Many failures have pushed hopes and its like namesake or go with leftover options

You say I don't have masters, I got it

You say not much wealthy, I had to strive to save

When I got it, I lost my looks :) 

Now finding someone equal is also difficult, You have gone through a struggle to become a master at what you are good at. Why would you go for someone who has no similar mindset?

In the end, it was a pleasure of struggle, to overcome and prove others wrong, this is another way to live succeed

Be yourself, Believe your own trail, never follow nor preach, go with what is right for you!!!



My own healing

Finally ended up reading cognitive behavioral therapy. I have to be my own doctor, surgeon, psychologist. It's an interesting reading. Some nice quotes from the book.


“When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.” - Helen Keller


“Thoughts are opinions not facts.”


“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” - Lao-Tzu


“Life does not consist mainly – or even largely – of facts and happenings. It consists mainly of the storm of thoughts that are forever blowing through one’s mind.”


“Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” - Aristotle


“What lies behind us, and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson


‘Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action.’ - Benjamin Disraeli


“When the heart weeps for what it has lost, the spirit laughs for what it has found.” Sufi aphorism


‘One cannot get through life without pain ... what we can do is choose how to use the pain life presents to us.’


“Rather light a candle than complain about the darkness.” - Chinese proverb


“you cannot be happy without a wider goal than yourself, but you cannot be happy either without self-knowledge and self-acceptance. If you feel low, there are centuries old philosophies to help ... so happiness comes from the outside and from within. The two are not in contradiction. The true pilgrim fights the evils in the world out there and cultivates the spirit within.”

Disturbed Mind

The last few days have been pathetic. Very negative with respect to partner search. It's a bit disturbing and uncomfortable. 

When sad listen to Raja Sir Songs

When happy listen to Raja Sir Songs

When angry listen to Raja Sir Songs

I am in this stage of life where I don't really feel attached to anything. Just need to teach things that I know and leave the world in a state I am useful and I share my knowledge. 

Keep Going!!!




Personal Life vs Professional Life

Life without marriage

  • Be good at your domain
  • Be known for your expertise
  • Teach, Code, Mentor

Life without a career

  • Teaching
  • Traveling
  • No Family Normad Life

Marriage is like a mirage in the desert, The more it appears present the more it appears distant. Already old enough, unable to handle the terms and conditions and expectations. I hope to find a way to come out of this mid-life crisis and move forward. How to give up hope forever. Keep thinking.

At last, It's one life, make it good enough with fewer regrets not long. The day death comes calling I hope to smile with fewer regrets and satisfaction I have experimented with the journey.

My Struggles and my life – Graveyard shift memories.

Birthplace - Earth, Race - Human, Religion – Kindness. We are never at this point, divided in every dimension.


Like a drunkard, this blog is my late-night diary and serves as my graveyard shift memories. When I am not there in this world you will know what was running in my mind.


A well-lived day is a little progress towards a well-lived life #MyThoughts


1. Coding every day makes you a better programmer

I am never a good programmer or coder. I still feel a ton of things to Learn. Database I have delivered fairy good product releases. Overall, in API and scalable microservices, I need to learn the trade. There are a ton of things to learn UX / Web/ DB / AI / Vision. The tradeoff between domain vs code is always learning on a need basis. Never Stop Learning.


2. Being kind makes you a better person

Anger serves no good. Nothing works just breaking bridges. Go far by being silent than talking and breaking emotions. Sometimes it's better to cry alone than sharing with people who will further weaken you. I regret my mistakes and for hurting people. I took up months to come back from my failures and betrayals. In the end, scars remained and the pain reduced over time.


3. Forgiving and walking away for peace makes you a mature person, Forgiveness and Kindness is the true strength. Anger is a form of foolishness

We cannot forget every betrayal nor fight for every defeat. Sometimes our own trust betrays us. Nothing lasts forever and no one is forever. Life is always more about being resilient and patient


4. Life isn’t for reproduction, it’s bringing the next generation with some brains and use for humanity

Sometimes feel lonely, sometimes feel lusty, sometimes feel lost out. Don’t know how to balance. I am neither buddha nor Socrates. A common man struggling to balance spirituality and practicality.


5. I know I’m not perfect but that does not stop me from correcting myself to be the best version of myself

Looking at your mistakes don’t lose on your strengths, it’s our strengths that took us to victory, double up on your strengths while you fix your weakness


6. Learn, Live, Stay Focused, Keep Walking

What defines you is credibility, your work, and how you were part of others' success. It’s all competitive world but again success is long term, let the journey be more meaningful than titles.


7. Every broken heart will find someone who can exactly fix the broken pieces

Yes, it will be broken sometimes or several times, but it is a journey where you keep shredding your old skin and add new learning’s, Hope the longest pain ends to give start to beautiful memories.


8. Live in the future lifestyle habit to attain the goals, Stay happy with Past for the Lessons 

Sometimes insults, failures push you to prove what we can do When people who were so long with us do not understand us, how does success come easily then, It’s a never-ending pursuit of patience, resilience and learning.


9. Get Back to the best version of self-aware self

It is your life and it's ending one minute at a time, Regret, cry, drink, recover and give a bang back to this world. When you are ready to lose everything, you can risk anything. In the end success or failure doesn’t matter it’s the thrill of doing it as I wanted to it. Be better, learn well, and keep sharing


10.  Observe and accept life than reacting to every single event

Hard to say but makes sense when we think about it, when tempted or bullied you better stay patient and stay away. You cannot win over stupid people and their perspectives.


11.  In the end, I want my life to be looked up to as inspiration against all odds


12.  Maturity is having humility, kindness, and knowing more about yourself, and living every single day bit more productive than yesterday


13.  Keep traveling and make today a better day in memories of tomorrow

Recollect your memories as moments of learning, moments of discovery, moments of empathy, moments of resilience, moments of patience, moments of trust


14.  Let your deeds and actions reflect kindness, optimism, and empathy


15.  Travel with no direction to look for is like getting ready for the next version of yourself

When lost keep going, keep walking with an open mind, ride without a destination. Sometimes the vision is blurred, and it needs a break to find its trail.


16.  Today is the future I dreamt of yesterday, Slow consistent improvement every day in every way. 

Never do anything that is against your values even for the smallest amount of gain.


17.  Persistence and Optimism are the biggest wealth we can have in our Life!!!

Never stop trying, never stop learning, Be better than yesterday, and hope for a better tomorrow.


18.  Creativity - Constant thinking to find small improvements

Being an idea collector, observer, the curious learner is all we can do to keep up our knowledge repository


19. Someone will find my scars beautiful and I look for that someone special in my life 

A wrong person will find loss in every scar. The right person will find beauty in every scar. Not everyone is the same. Look out for your company and never stop looking around.


20. Stay Simple, Stay Grounded, Be Kind, Things will end happily in Life


21. Redefine Life, Live the life that provides constant learning, creativity, makes you feel humble and Simple!!!!


22.  We never lose anything in life, We find Ourselves on every occasion when we are broke

Every time when I am broke, I went into isolation mode, the loneliness and silence teaches a lot and it’s a life-changing moment. Forget everything, Forgive others, Find yourself once again. We get lost several times in several situations. We need to constantly keep searching for the kind within us.


23. This life has no logical answer to emotional pain. Learn to Learn from the pain to find your new self

Pain changes yourself forever, you are not the same person. Going through pain has life-changing moments and memories


24.  Your emotion is also like a weapon. As long as you don't pick your right emotions you cannot move in the right direction 

Cry like a kid, Experiment like an infant, laugh like a mad person, let the world keep judging in its own lens. Be sure you are happy with your decisions. 


25. The ingredients of knowledge are learning, reading, writing, communication, experimentation, and presentation

Keep Learning, Keep Sharing, Fail, Learn, Repeat, Attempt, Try Something new interesting


26. A selfless, humble, and kind person is a Living God

A person who looks beyond self and helps others is a manifestation of God. Kindness exists today only in advice not in reality.


27. If you stay positive after everything you are an inspiration for the next generation. Some seeds of kindness are the key, the world is still alive


28. Credibility comes with time and actions, not with perspectives/promises

Dress, looks, words cannot be compared to results and perspectives. Be good in your work and actions. Never go just by looks, observe people before you trust them.


29. Not everyone is your kind of personality, Find your flock and keep flying

We don’t need anyone approval to live a life of our principles. As long as you don’t carry personal guilt or regret, you can live the way you want to live.


Keep Going!!!

Silence - The powerful weapon

Learning is a beautiful process to understand, interpret, apply. We never know anything fully in our Life.

  • Observe
  • Analyze
  • Understand
  • Apply

Meeting the partner

Sillu Karupatti movie was amazing. We connect with people with whom we have the same mindset. Somehow this matrimony-based work hard to impress is non-sense. Everyone is flawed that the fact. Accepting if they are ok or not and seeing the positive is the key. Better to meet your partner as a friend, than trying to impress someone.

Life goes on!!!

Building a perspective

  • Recollect my past lessons
  • Learn books on current trends
  • Attend sessions/webinars on the topic
  • Follow innovating companies in that space
  • Connect all the dots build your perspective

Keep Learning!!!

Marriage of Status / Caste / Mindset

 So many things are looked into but not important things

  • Caste Match - Yea, caste is everywhere. To marry one person within the same caste is great. To marry someone with the same mindset beyond any religion, race is also an alternate option
  • Education - Decent education or similar levels would be good
  • Job - In this current world. Jobs are neither permanent nor forever. Perform or perish is the trend. Either learn or retire. 
  • Place to settle - Yea this needs to be planned. If no job or jobless how much you save to settle or survive for temporary job gaps
  • Mindset / Choices / Preferences - Kids raising, Settling in the late '40s. Travel / Tour / Experiment Life
  • Parents feedback - Still parents will have the conservative mindset to safeguard or rely on their beliefs
  • Mindset is looked up low, caste and status come up with higher importance. Yea, Everything has its own value. I have neither mastered it nor understood it. The world is for everyone to live and be self-reliant.

 Live and Let Live!!!

Making of the next version

The failed relationships may be painful, but they give us the greatest opportunity to develop our most important emotional skills.

The failed job interviews may be painful, but they give us the greatest opportunity to develop our most time management, learning, problem-solving skills

The failed conversations may be painful, but they give us the greatest opportunity to develop our most important skills.

Every next version will demand a newer, faster, better, stronger version of self.

Keep Going!!!
