Ikigai... :)

 Before you wonder what the word means...it is a Japanese word. The sound of it seems so idiosyncratic as we've learnt another language. As fancy as the word sounds, it gained popularity so quickly that i started my own research on it. Turns out everyone has their own meaning for the word. So, here's what it is.

                                        "Ikigai"

                                        Iki  means "Life"

                                        Gai means "value or worth" 

The purpose which drives you to live. 

Ok. Count. Everyone has the same 24x7....

On an average of 8hrs of work, 7hrs of sleep, 2hrs of break, 3hrs of  "me" time, 4hrs of family/friends time.......What is your Ikigai?????

family?..

friends?..

love?..

job?..

money?..

goal?..

what is your Ikigai ????? the one that drives you and gives purpose to live. The reason to get up in the morning. As per the survey by Google, an average lifespan of a Japanese perosn is 84 tot hat of an Indian, 74.

That's crazy. +10 years. Imagine if you could live 10 more years. Well, there is a reason you are still alive. There is a reason that Almighty blessed you another day to live. Isn't that a dam good reason to drive you throughout the day!!!

Your Ikigai is THE thing which can give you 10 more years of life.

Ergo, find your Ikigai.


Happy to Help :) Adios Amigo.

Anticipation and the Power of Patience: Chess and Life

Dear Loyal Readers, hope you enjoy the new post.   In the grand theatre of life, we play different roles. Some approach life like a chess game while others as checkers. But what if I tell you that life has much to teach us through the subtle art of anticipation and the incredible power of patience?   A chessboard, the battlefield of the thoughtful and strategic. Chess masters don't just move pieces; they anticipate their opponent's moves, think several steps ahead, and strategically position their knights, bishops, and rooks. Life, too, offers us this grand opportunity to anticipate the consequences of our actions. In life's chessboard, thinking ahead means setting long-term goals, making choices that align with your vision, and playing a game of strategy rather than impulsivity. It's not about immediate gratification but about a thoughtful approach to every decision. Now, let’s talk about patience, the unsung hero of both chess and life. In chess, every move is a...

Commando

                 Hello, my dear Loyal Readers. It's been a long time since I posted a new topic. I've been waiting for inspiration, and finally, I know what to write and share. Dear Readers, "Commando" as we know are a group, statistically, strategically, trained under various circumstances and situations to make sudden moves to attack and protect. Being a commando is more than just living life. Some of you might immediately agree, saying 'oh yeah, true, yes.' It's more than a thought; it's an expression. The life a commando lives is beyond imagination; it's almost like being reincarnated. Beyond death, there is nothing to be afraid of. The vigorous screening tests they undergo and the limits they set are things we can learn from. I'm not implying their training; my point is, if their job is to safeguard the nation, why not safeguard ourselves and those around us?                  I...

The Echo Chamber Effect

 Dear Loyal Readers, I trust this message finds you well during this festive season, celebrating the triumph of good over evil. As we revel in the joyous moments, I  bring forth this blog with a profound purpose — to shed light on the magnificent, technologically-driven world we inhabit, where the entirety of human knowledge lies at our fingertips. We stand at the nexus of information, both as contributors and consumers. However, consider the implications of malevolent actors misusing this vast sea of information. A single falsehood has the potential to turn your world upside down, casting shadows on the very fabric of our existence. The adage "Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth" resonates more profoundly than ever. This isn't just a clever turn of phrase; it's a chilling reality that we often underestimate. The power of repetition in shaping our perception is a force to be reckoned with. Consider the insidious influence of media propaganda, wher...
