MAGICAL MINDFUL LIVING: FINDING JOY IN THE EVERYDAY

Luxury harbors evil at its core. Modern man has to struggle with choices. Not one Not two but thousands of them, day in and out. If you wondered on the street in a Sunday morning, in chilling cold of November, and thought about a hot coffee. You are not wrong. That was a feeling even the cavemen would have had. Compared to him you have the luxury of buying one for few pounds, without wasting valuable calories. But there is a choice. There are seven or eight varieties at the s

Daisy world. Imagine a world with only black and white daisies. Black absorbs heat and cool down atmosphere, and White emit heat and makes it hot. And if only these conditions govern the temperature of the earth, the daisies will regulate the atmospheric temperature like a warm-blooded animal regulate their body heat with similar feedback loops. Can we apply this principle to the biosphere of our world and see it regulate the condition of the earth by maintaining its atmosphe

This article covers some philosophical aspects and mindfulness practices. I cannot forecast which at the beginning, as it just flows. Consider a leaf floating on water. Can you predict exact position in an exact time duration? Even with Modern scientific wisdom and calculus you can only approximate its position. (take a limit) If you measure the position it is going to be different with your prediction every time with a margin of error, how much small this margin, there will

I can see a lot of confusion about value. But here in my article I am trying to unravel the mystery for you, so you never get confused. As there is a lot of confusion, we should take a stepwise approach. Trust me, If I had to teach someone one thing from my whole life experience I would tell them " Value is a belief which is confined to a consciousness, it is neither real nor inherently valuable. " But, that claim does require a lengthy explanation. We can start examining dic

Life is a game Sometimes we say life is "like a game" not exactly "it is a game". By agreeing to this hypothesis, we assume there is something beyond this game like perception of life. A higher meaning, a higher target, an enlightenment perhaps. And in back of our minds, we always keep and entertain this belief of a virtuous life which exist outside our day-to-day childish games. By calling "childish" I do not assume they are insignificant. Just look at the "wealth creation g

Modern Era. Once it was called liquid Gold . Oil is most valuable source of energy up to date. One barrel of crude oil would do nothing to an economy of a country, but oil is sold in millions of barrels per trade, brought by massive tankers all around the world. Oil is major part of any company portfolio, including famous Harvard institute (Ps: in recent years Harvard PF has reduced their oil exposure to less than 2% but crypto and gold exposure increased). Even surpassing Go

Why you should practice mindfulness 1 .Markets cannot teach you everything. If you closely followed behaviour of any market, it closely resembles how an average person feels during a day. In a moment we feel fine and positive, and in the next minute there is a dip in emotions. Sometimes, hikes up on the happiness can last a few hours, followed by pensive afternoons and gloomy nights. In fact the stock price burns such emotions of thousands of people into a single number and d

A word of caution when reading lists. Nothing in this world is ultimate. If you are starting out early in a success journey, it is helpful to memories such lists as following, to help with clarity. Yet, the life is not a Tic-tac-Toe game. There is no strategy you can always win, and unexpected turns occur in one's life, not once or twice but repeatedly, making you doubt your strategy all the time. Hence, if you seek the meaning of life , there is a direction we all should loo

Why lies matter? Lies do matter as much as the truth. Lies can move crowds. Lies can start campaigns. Lies can start wars and stop them. Ever since we started to listen to our parents, we do not know whether we are living a lie or is there something called "us" and "future" in the first place. However, this article is not about deep philosophy about existence or time . This is just superficial facts about how a lie can shape our world for the better or the worse. "A mine is

Lesson 1 - Mr. Beast - Story of Growth. The Journey of James Steaven Donaldson - or commonly called Mr. Beast is nothing but extraordinary. He is the greatest YouTuber ever. His growth story is amazing for many reasons, the first is about resilience and consistency. As told by himself numerous times, and by looking at posts of his own, you can find out bits and pieces of his growth story. If you look at his number of subscribers each year, you will see that there was not much

The Principle of priority -You must focus on what is important and not urgent. This quote I randomly picked up from, where I cannot remember now. But the moment I read it I picked up the significance. Did you? If you did not read the quote again. PS: apparently origin of this traced to Stephen Covey the author of the book "The seven habits of highly effective people". In the first instance it seem there is something wrong with the quote. And it feels like rubbish advice. But

Some time ago, I wrote about leading and following. That there are two groups of people in this world. Sometimes, we behave as leaders, and sometimes as followers. I considered myself a follower than a leader. Never did I bother to ask what is best, or atleast I couldn't choose one over the other as both had positives and negatives. Yet, I came across following quote in the book by Leo Tolstoy - Calender of Wisdom. Apperently both are a crime - an Equal crime. "There are peo

"If your mind is clam and peaceful enough, you will find gratification in just living. There is no need to chase any dream." - MML Instant gratification Curtains. I have been observing my boring mind for few minutes on the mat. Until my eyes started to scan all over the room looking for gratification. Trust me there was nothing of that sort. There were no fancy chandeliers flower bouquets, there were no Banksy drawings on the walls. There were no paintings of African savanna.

Why discard thoughts? Have you ever tried to forget some memory? Why on earth you should? You may ask me. Unless you have PTSD (Post traumatic stress disorder) It is not only in movies, about veterans who flown home after war, that they try to lead a conventional life, sometimes even awful memories haunt us every day. We might carry the burden and the noise created by these thoughts to places where we shouldn't. I can give you an example. The other day, when I was driving in

Prejudiced reader At last I kept my hands on this novel by Herman Melville written about two centuries ago. The famous book about a whale by the name. There was a great resistance for me to hold the book in my hand for years. I can remember there was a copy somewhere in the shady corners of the house, but I never bothered to pick it up when my eye caught it occationally. Now I know where all the resistance came from. Who wants to read a 500 page book about a man and a whale?

Why and where do they exist? They exist in variety of forms. Sometimes, they are at the workplace like bullies. Sometimes they are commenting on your post. Sometimes they stand up when you present a scientific paper and ask dumb questions, not to enlighten themselves but to make you feel uncomfortable. And they do this with arrogance rather than awareness. And they add to the question that either your nose is like a pig or the ears are like an ape. I am not angry with them. T

Thales of Miletus is a Pre- Socratic Greek Philosopher, who famously said the origin of all the matter is water. He was famous for many other things, and among them few fascinates me the most. Fact 1 - Earliest known polymath. He is one of the earliest known polymaths. Philosophy, mathematics, astronomy were his main subjects of interest and had made significant contributions to each. When someone is majoring not one but three developing subjects, it would have profound effec

"Life is too short. We have to be aware, where we spend our consciousness. I would rather read a poem, watch a hummingbird or take a nap than listening to shit news about Trump and Politics." If you came to me as a dear old friend for advice about life, and happiness, above is one way I would put it into words. It is simple, it is applicable and it is profound if you think about it for a while. For few days and months for now, I have been feeling a calm happiness. Which wasn'

Russells paradox, and Godels incompleteness theorem. I do not wish to be a mathematician. At least after reading first chapter of the book of proof by Richerd Hammock. I came to the conclusion, by no means there is any complete mathematician ever lived on earth. So, I wouldn't. And the enlightenment came with the Russells paradox, introduced in the first chapter itself. Even in the book of mathematics, which are supposed to be provable, and "True" there are contradictions, th
