Seeking to be positive and rooted even in midst of a fire…….fire of the world, of the mind or the heart. I am also a budding researcher…..hope to know a lot by end of this life…but I want to know myself most of all.
Memento Mori
Happened to see the “Memento Mori” post recently in my LinkedIn feed, it was a reminder to live more on purpose, more aware and more deliberate rather than to give in to the defaults and automated, habitual drifting through life.
Chalked out my “Before I Die” List –
1. Actualize the constructive potential in me, most of the time, everyday.
2. Create at least one thing that lasts long after this body has perished.
3. Discover at-least one new secret of nature.
4. Do at least one thing to pay back my debt to my community
5. Travel across the Country
What is your “Before I Die” list?
How to overcome the fear of coding … an excellent read.
Self- Discipline
Of all the valuable gifts, self discipline is the one that is critically vital for a good life. By a good life, I mean not only the life of sufficiency and decent comforts but also a life of contentment and joy.
A person who fails to discipline her mind and actions, is often miserable in worldly pursuits as well as internally.

Excellent Advice.
Be YourSelf – Note to self.
To Live is to Witness
I witness it all. Not affected. Not involved.
Grateful. Grateful. Grateful.
I am grateful for the breath. I am grateful for the food. I am grateful for the peace.
