Managing conflicts is quite an important thing in both work and in life. It's a skill that we all need to learn. Sometimes we got to hear people out, sometimes we got to be there for them and sometimes things can go bad about anything. So, we will talk a little about managing conflicts in different situations in life. It can be work, it can be relationships, it can be anything, just about anything. But the first thing we need to understand is that we need to listen actively in order to manage a conflict. Without that, it's absolutely not possible to manage a conflict. So, let's think in terms of what are the pointers that we need to do in order to manage a conflict.  Before that, let's understand why managing conflicts is crucial in order to improve life. So let's take a look at a particular picture and go from there.  First of all, before going there, we need to understand that having conflict is an inevitable part of life. We are going to have conflicts no matter ...

I am not sure on what to write today so I will be writing about a character. Not sure which character to take but thinking of a history character right now. Let's go with Abrahim Lincon because I heard he had some really good quotes. I read some quotes by Lincoln and honestly, it's so beautiful.  You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time. How beautiful is this quote. I absolutely adored this. He's certainly got some personality. If you break this down, you can fool all the people some of the time. Which means that there would be sometimes where you can fool people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time. How lovely is this. If you think about an example as well, let's say you have some product that was very well marketed, however with time people will know that the product is not as good as it was marketed.  I planted my...

 Stay in the present moment. I have been thinking about this for a long time. I don't really know how to be in the present moment completely. Everyone get's distracted occasionally, but my goal right now is to be in the moment completely. We all know that there is only one moment. That's the present moment, not the next moment, not the previous moment, just the present moment. The fact that I am writing something, it means that I am in the present moment while writing. It means that whatever I do, I am doing it in the now.  The moment is not found by seeking it, but by ceasing to escape from it. I feel like we all try to escape the moment sometimes by going into the past or the future. However, the current reality is the present and let that be the current reality. We want to be seeking the present moment and not the past or the future. Now what do I really mean by being in the present moment. I mean eat while you eat, study while you study, play while you play and that...

Keep working at something. Staying busy is the key to life and every situation in life. I like the idea of seize the day my friend. In fact, I feel like the more busy you stay with something, the more happier you will be. After all, an idle mind is a devil's workshop. My question is why is it that important to stay busy?  1. Staying busy makes sure you don't get too many thoughts : When you are busy doing something, you don't get a lot of thoughts about anything in life. Good or bad, ugly or worst, you will be working at something all the time. Even if that's cleaning your room, you will be happy with who you are.  2. Less chasing, more being yourself: I have faced situations in life, where I have chased girls and the girls just run away when I chase after them. I don't want to get mad about them. I mean it's very natural for a girl to feel unsafe if the guy is too much into her. However, when you are busy doing something, you will not have too much time to thin...

I was sitting in an airplane when an old lady next to me said,  "Man ka hua toh accha hai, aur agar man ka na ho toh aur bhi accha hai":  If things go as we desire, it's good; if they don’t, it’s even better. This philosophy by Harivansh Rai Bachchan carries profound wisdom. It teaches us that life is not just about getting what we want, but about trusting the journey, even when things don’t unfold as we expect. When Things Go Your Way: "Man ka hua toh accha" We often associate happiness with things aligning with our wishes, getting that dream job, being with the person we love, achieving a long-desired goal. And when these things happen, we feel joy, success, and a sense of control. But this is only half the truth. Life is not a straight path, and our desires are often shaped by our limited understanding of what’s truly good for us. What we wish for today may not serve us in the long run. Getting what we want is good, but it’s not the ultimate measure of happin...

Very early in life, I learned that anything in excess is harmful, be it love, friendship, or work. When something dominates our lives, we must pause and evaluate its balance. Today, many from my generation, as well as the one before us, are engrossed in social media, consuming content endlessly. But what do they truly gain? More often than not, it leads to anxiety, depression, and feelings of inadequacy. Scroll through social media, and you’ll see friends vacationing in Bali, someone showing off a six-pack, another celebrating a promotion, does the comparison ever end? They say, “Comparison is the thief of joy,” and social media fuels this toxic habit. Personally, I’ve noticed that when I spend time on social media, I become overly conscious of others' perceptions of me. Am I looking good enough? Am I too thin or too fat? Are my teeth too yellow? The self-doubt spirals. But here’s the truth: much of social media is a façade. Imagine the authentic joy you can experience when you dis...

 I don't really know what I am going to write today. But I will write something for a period of 30 minutes. So let's go. Okay, so I am going to USA back, feeling refreshed but there's a sort of ambiguity in my mind about a girl. I find it difficult to express myself at the moment to her and I am sure the ambiguity is also killing her. So let me just be open and honest about certain things. Maybe it kills attraction but we need to be honest with ourselves first. So let's talk about being honest and simple about things. We complicate things because our emotions are involved.  So what does honesty and openness really mean. For me it means two things, one is your non-verbal communication and the other is your verbal communication. To me honesty is stating your feelings whatever they are at the moment and letting the conversation move towards a goal and finish line. I feel that's what honesty and openness means. I want to tell exactly what I feel. I want to be there for ...
