My Message that I wrote when I was in kota, fighting for my dreams

Burai har kisi mein hai, par untar waha  dikhta hai jab ek usko daba kar mehnat karta hai aur dusra us burai ka batangad bana kar duniya se jhupta hai. Ye tay karna hamesha hamare haath mein nahi hota ki hum un dono mein se kon se paksh mein hai, par apke karm apko tay karne mein  madad karte hai ki aap kon se paksh ke bhagidari hai.


Ek aur choti se baat kya tughe pata lagta hai ki bina koi sapne ke koi insaan 20 saal har raat apne ghar ki chat  par ja kar sitaro ki painting ke chart banayega wo insaan( digobrahe) tha jo 400 saal pehle ye sab drama karta tha, par aaj bhi itne salo baad jab NASA wale kisi prashikshan mein phas jate  hai to uske chart ki hi study ki jati hai  itni telescope par bhi uske 400 saal purane chart kaam ate hai,

Itnin gehre tarike se chatne ka saar tha ki have a dream in your life. Think big and work to achieve it.

On habits

In order to change habits, make it harder to do things that you don't want to do.

Make it easier to cultivate those habits that you want to cultivate.


By very nature humans are lazy, they want to be in the lowest energy state possible - Relax.

Use this fundamental behavioural truth to build hew hard habits.

Only action is real

History will only remember your actions.

The higher the quality of your actions , the greater the human being.

On freedom

Freedom is not the natural state of human existence. One has to understand it, work diligently to live and spread the message to his fellow beings.

Freedom is a rare jewel, those who understand shall have it; those who don't will give their life to the shackles of their limited understanding of how the world works.

The man in the arena

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

Read and Filter the BS

Through seven years of reading and trying to make sense of my brain, I have build a habit of filtering the relevant form the BS.

I think its a powerful analytical tool, when you could easily separate noise from the signal.

Then you plot the mental map on top of it. Your ability to understand the material will sky-rocket.

Lets see where it leads me!!!

Choosing the War

Choosing the type of war is the single most important decision of your life. Once you decide the type of war.... you just need to keep trying until one of the following outcomes take place:

YOU SUCCEED.

YOU DIE DOING IT.

Both are worthy outcomes.

You have to learn to derive happiness, satisfaction and meaning from your actions.

Business as tool

Humans are tool builders. But not everyone is equally capable or equipped to build tools.

Here comes business, you can build a tool that someone else will use and they will be able to achieve things which they could not have achieved.

Human Ingenuity

I am not special , but I have a deep respect for human ingenuity to solve problems. People give their lives to solve problems. They live and breathe problems, problems that give us pain, suffering,all negative things you can imagine. But time and again, human defeat nature and set higher limits for achievement. I see those people , everywhere , and I have deep respect for all of them.

A promise

Any and every dicision that I will ever take is life will be based on experiment, without experiment I will not think more about it.

Negative spiral and Positive spiral

Its funny.....



I few years ago when I was struggling with depression, I had felt a negative spiral in my head. I will explain what I mean, but in simple terms, the more you feel bad about something the more your brain makes you feel bad about everything. Its a vicious cycle, one that took a long time for me to understand.

Let me go a bit deeper.....
There are neurotransmitters( small molecules ) that get released when you feel bad about anything. Its brain's way of making you realize that the experience you just had was negative for your survival......... remember it and stay away for it. But what happens, we remember to remember the negative experience; instead of remembering not to remember the negative experience. So the more negative pictures and images and expressions , we iterate in our head the more it gets strengthened. And we find ourselves in the loop where we are helpless, if we do not understand how to control our brain( which is the case with most of the people).


I have a firsthand experience of this phenomenon, I have practically lived with it for seven years.


The bright side of the story........


I am an engineer, and we understand thing in terms of similarity , differences , models , schematics and proofs. Basically, we are nerds who love to go deeper into the problem until the problem give itself up or we practically destroy our lives for stupid problems. So, I resolved myself to solve the problem of negative spiral. Then, the first question that came to my mind was to ask for the exact opposite. If brain has a negative spiral, does it have a positive spiral?


Guess what..... Yes it does..... or at least yes in my understanding and experience.


No matter how shit I  feel, if I sit and just smile while keeping my focus on the smile... something magical happens.

Over period, everything vaporizes and I could get out of that vicious cycle of negativity.
If I keep practicing it for prolonged period, magical stuff starts happening.... such as ... I could focus better... I would greet everyone with a gaaziiilllioonnnn mile long smile.... everywhere I go things become cheerful...etc.


I think I have found the positive spiral as well.......

I have a theory for the positive spiral as well.... but that is for the next time...

keep smiling
