The function of evil in the world

May be for a little while, people look at that and say "hey, at least I'm not that bad" and try to think better of themselves despite whatever shortcomings.

The Question

I'm sitting under a starry sky. One of those where the moonlight is enough to see everything around me on a mountain. Cool breeze is flowing and I just concentrate on the stars in the sky, twinkling in their charming way; lost in thoughts of nothing in particular. Suddenly there is a pat on my back and I turn around. Obviously there's no one around and I try to put it behind as if it was just a thought not real. Again the pat, this time I can't let it go and talk to myself in the way I usually do. "I better not imagine this for a second time" I sit there transfixed, a bit with apprehension and a lot with anxiousness. Then a voice comes " Did you find the answer yet then?". Something about the quality of the voice makes me relax and find it silly that I was scared of it in the first place. " Oh, well I'm trying. The search is going well though. I'm happy about what I found till now." I answer. " I'm glad you figured out the way ...

Having Breakfast with Buddha ..

An essential thing about reading something besides from your career stuff is, its like making a conscious choice of what one would like to inculcate in our systems. Its most wonderful part being that it does become a part of our lives in some way. Recently I completed reading " Breakfast with Buddha" by Roland Merullo.

Before that I used to make myself believe that, it was a driving factor of the kind of person I am with highs of its own kind.

Blogging Again And Getting Over My Analysis Paralysis

Image
I have been putting off trying to set up a new blog for a while. I love writing just to rant, analyze or even process things as they happen. But why have I been putting it off since January 1 st , 2017 when I originally made the New Year’s Resolution? Glad you asked.. For one my mind has been throwing too many questions as to how to really go about it (I guess growing up read getting old does that) – which topics, what is my brand, will this fit with my work (don’t want to inadvertently rant about things that could get me into trouble) and so on. Not sure if I am the only person with such confusions but I have a feeling I am not the only one.  Then last night I remembered my old blogger account that I used to write in almost a decade ago. So I have decided to kick the analysis paralysis to the curb and do the one thing on my To-do lists that I’ve been putting off forever. For now, the purpose of this blog is to share things I learned, stuff I read, few rant...
