    Write about your dream home.
    View all responses

    A dream home is one where all the members are in full flow. Read this post to understand how an ideal home has the subtle combination of differentiation and integration.

    By differentiation all members are encouraged to try out novel ideas based on their acquired career capital.

    Whereas integration would mean all members unite and integrate to achieve common and critical goals for the family as a whole e.g. taking care of a minor during ill heath.

    This fine balance of differentiation along with integration would enable the family members to remain in full flow, making it a delightful place.

    The most crazy idea would be to start an online community of GIVERS. Bring together like minded people with genuine intentions would not only spread GIVING as a disease but it would also make the world a better place to live in.

    Givers make great leaders and by employing a WIN-WIN strategy for their interactions, can make the world a better place. This is why I would like to start an online community of genuine givers.

    Online community of Givers

    Givers may great mentors and see trust as the most important criteria for grooming mentees. This is not the same as takers who first look for potential and for whom interactions are ZERO-SUM games.

  • Generosity is highly Praiseworthy

    Generosity is highly Praiseworthy

    Daily writing prompt
    What is something others do that sparks your admiration?
    View all responses

    Any act of generosity helps me see the best in others. Let me tell you in this blog post why generosity is highly praiseworthy.

    Generosity is doing something selflessly for someone without expecting anything in return. The human brain is oriented towards fulfillment by such acts of generosity.

    This leads to the stimulation of the love hormone named oxytocin which is known to increase immunity. This is why practicing generosity is highly praiseworthy.

    Thus acts of generosity help us lead a happy and fulfilled life

    This famous Simon Sinek’s quote encourages us to exhibit generosity.

    Generosity is highly praiseworthy

    During holiday season we do make special dishes and enjoy the feeling of togetherness away from the hustle and bustle of work life. Slow Food is the best food and is the way to go during holiday season.

    Slow food is food that is prepared using traditional methods and high-quality, usually local, ingredients.

    Since you find your mind and soul into this kind of food it tastes even better.

    The State of SATORI for Enlightenment

    The State of No Mind results in SATORI which is a pre-requisite for enlightenment. Hence to focus on the present without any distractions I prefer taking trips to the mountains to be amidst mother nature.

    In his book The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle has mentioned the importance of focusing on the present moment to unleash our true potential.

    No mind is defined as a state wherein we attain consciousness without thought.

    Inspired from the book The Power of Now, the insight highlights the merits of a state of no mind.
