  Happy Teachers Day to The Pillars of Our Lives, and Our Lifelines for Learning.   Teachers’ Day tribute to mentors, guides, and educators—celebrating their role in shaping lives and nurturing lifelong learning गुरु ब्रह्मा गुरु विष्णु , गुरु देवो महेश्वरः। गुरु साक्षात् परब्रह्म , तस्मै श्री गुरवे नमः॥   In a world that often rewards performance, there are those who teach us presence. They are our Teachers who don’t just deliver lessons, but hold space for our personal being. They are the ones who notice the silence between questions. Who teach not by instruction, but by attunement.   This Teachers’ Day, I honour all those teachers: •      The ones who stayed after class—not to explain the syllabus, but to ask how we were, what are dreams are or how we tackled the difficulties not in academic but personal life too. They are the mentors of our life. •    The ones who taught us how to think (whether inductive or ded...

  🕉 ️ Ganesha in the Floodwaters: Four Lessons for a Time of Crisis   Ganesha in the Floodwaters: Four Lessons for a Time of Crisis As the Ganesh festival unfolds with music, modaks, and clay idols returning to water, another kind of immersion is happening—one that is not chosen, but endured. Across India and neighbouring countries, floodwaters have swallowed homes, memories, and livelihoods. In this moment, the lessons of Ganesha feel less like celebration and more like quiet guidance. Some of the lessons which one can learn from Ganesha during this crisis are:   1.    Big Ears, Deep Listening Ganesha’s ears remind us to listen—not just to headlines, but to the silences between them. To hear the grief of those whose stories won’t trend, and to hold space without rushing to fix or explain.   2.    Small Steps, Steady Hands   The mouse at Ganesha’s feet teaches us humility. Relief doesn’t always roar—it arrives in small acts: ...

The Quiet Mind Inside Your Phone — Not Just a Smartphone   Your smartphone's hidden power comes from the AI working beneath the surface. This post contains affiliate links. If you make a purchase through a link, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Introduction: The Invisible Revolution   Ever since the smartphones came into being they have become part and parcel of our life. If we say that they have become an extension of ourselves it is not false, but the real magic isn't just in the hardware or in lay person language about the looks or just few features it is much more. It is the AI the "invisible force" that makes our phones so smart. It's not a new feature; it's a foundational technology that works silently in the background. You must have seen various ads where AI is shown to advance certain features especially the Google AI for search, for camera, for location and many more.

Whispers Between Teacups: A Friendship Day Reflection

  🌿 Whispers Between Teacups: A Friendship Day Reflection By Dr. Geetanjali Pareek   🌿 Whispers Between Teacups: A Friendship Day Reflection Today is friendship day. And friendship is something that rarely arrives with fanfare. It is something that slips in quietly like your slippers. Waits without complaint, and laughs even when you forget its birthday. On this Friendship Day, we don’t celebrate grand declarations-we mark the small, intimate echoes. The ones that are closet to us.   A Cracked Screen, A Whole Memory: In today’s world full of social media noise, it is something like an old message thread—pixelated, perhaps glitchy, broken by updates. But the feeling remains. Friendship is like that. It survives the algorithms, the broken links, the silence between emojis.  “ छोटी छोटी ख़राबियाँ सह लेती है … जैसे टुकड़े टुकड़े बादलों में मोहब्बत। ”   Of Mangoes and Mistakes : Remember sharing mangoes with mismatched spoons? Or repairin...

Letting Go of the Past: Embracing a Brighter Future

  Letting Go of the Past: Embracing a Brighter Future Some weights aren’t meant to be carried into the future. Have you ever felt weighed down by past hurts, regrets, or memories? You're not alone to have felt this way, it’s quite natural for anyone to fall a prey on such tendencies. Holding onto what's gone can affect our present as well as future, making it hard to move forward. But what if letting go could change everything?   The Weight of the Past  Presence begins where the past loosens its grip. Dwelling on past mistakes, heartbreaks, or traumas can be emotionally and mentally exhausting. It's like carrying a heavy burden that refuses to lighten. We replay painful memories, wondering what could've been done differently. But the truth is, the past is just past. Consider the story of Dr. Joe Dispenza, how a crippled man healed himself with his mind and became an international speaker, researcher, author, and educator who is passionate about neuroscience, epigene...
