In this process, we should stop being attached to objects/persons and should rather focus on the work /skills they possess which can help and guide us to move forward. Detachment d...

I am kind of obsessed with these as they are healthy(in a desert sort of way) and not too sweet and very adaptable at all stages. So let's say we don't have pistachios then we can replace them with any topping available and so & so as you go along. Be creative, please! Cooking is the perfect union of science and creativity and thus should not be taken too literary and absolute at any phase and having fun should be the only goal.  Well let us start with the base of chocolate truffle/brownie and then we can tweak the recipe in the final stages depending upon our mood to eat either chocolate truffle or chocolate brownie. 1. One cup of instant oats (Quaker, unprocessed, the regular kind) 2.  One cup of roasted almonds (whole) 3. 1 /3 cup cocoa powder  4. Blend  all three in the food processor until you get a pretty fine flour and then sieve it (just to have no unevenness  and it also kinds of sounds chefy!). 5. Meanwhile, soak four dates in 1/3...

I recently came across a very beautiful concept which I am calling as  ' Organ Theory ' and it made me question so many things and processes that we perform endlessly throughout our lives without pausing or questioning it. The 'organ' is the starting point of life-concept and what we fill or write after it decided our paths and experiences. If we fill 'ization' after it, making it 'organization' then it means that we are working in a system of charts and boxes and processes which were developed by someone else and based on some fixed parameters we are to perform and thus are judged accordingly. By the very nature 'organizations' is that which someone developed and figured it out and thus has to approve all of its proposed changes.  After all it's 'organized'. While if we fill 'ism' after the 'organ', then we will have a wholly different concept and style called 'organism' which is ever evolving and con...

IA stands for information architecture and AoU is architects of understanding. Both are equivalent terms because to build IA successfully, you need AoU as your qualifications. In simple terms, IA is about helping people understand the world around them and help them find what they are looking for, both in the physical as well as the online world. AoU helps people to understand where they are, what they have found, what to expect, and what is around them. Designers, engineers, coders, almost everyone are functioning as AoU and using IA to fulfill their purpose in their environment, whether making most of it or not is the question to ask.  When used in the best fashion, IA will help in highlighting you in a big crowd, along with helping those in need of your product get better service leading to lifelong customer- friends and ever-growing demand of your venture, thus making it a success. With ever-shortening of our attention span, we need to convey the most relevant inform...

We can change the way we get things we want(path) or we can change what we want(destination). Both paths are available. It is one's own choice of whether one wants to become Jeff Bezos(changes the way people buy what they want) or Nelson Mandela(changes the way people think and their choices). Choose your own mission and work accordingly. Idiosyncrasy, abundance and generosity replaces the mindset of scarcity and removes grudge, envy and resentment from our lives.  When we learn to understand first principles instead of gaming the process, one can work with it forever. In the fight of the process Vs. the outcome, learn to appreciate the process and work hard in it to generate the desired outcome.  Do not blame the referee , train one's team harder.   Always ask oneself the question that w hat could one do today that would matter a year from now? Learn to ask yourself 'better' questions with each passing moment as their answers is our progress- ...

There are 2 things which has recently made my life difficult,  Security theater  and  security superstition. Security theater are measures taken to feel more secure and demonstrate authority and power, whereas security superstition is putting security measures on hunch or because others are doing to make system more secure.  Well both are unnecessary and tiresome and make life more difficult. The 'Neighbor Effect' of these measures causes ripples in all aspect of our life. Putting 4 locks in house, triple checking the buttons, counting calories at every step; regret regret regret at every turn of life if the road was not traveled at-least 3 times.  Yeah, we have programmed ourselves to be repetitive robots making living complicated. IT SHOULD NOT BE SO. Simple solutions are often the most needed ones and make life more pleasurable. So I have started to simplify my life, taking each step in the day to serve a purpose and not ...

Spec is a word which I recently discovered by accident. I came across a random sentence which said it is better to spec than hope for success and I thought wait a minute, doesn't 'spec' is short for specification? Well I did what we all do in today's day and age- called googled to help me out.  And I discovered that yes, although spec is used in place of specification, but 'spec' is also a very beautiful noun which means '  in the hope of success but without any specific plan or instructions'. Well don't we all need a little bit of spec-shower in our lives to deal with all the stress and anxiety in which we surround ourselves! We should plan as much as we are able to, while leaving ample space for unexpected magic and pleasant surprises in our lives, kind of like amateur-baking!!! Well I believe freelancing is a synonym of spec as it is neither easy and stable nor prestigious and structured when compared to actual job. It is kind of l...
