MAGICAL MINDFUL LIVING: FINDING JOY IN THE EVERYDAY

The slug was found dead in the early morning hours, before even sun rose up on a somber Wednesday. It wasn't found on its bed, died of all natural causes. It was on a kitchen table. As the inhabitants of the kitchen were not there for a couple of days, and the circumstances of the death of the slug was not known, police were summoned to investigate. First arrived were the detectives. Detectives screened the scene with their vigilant eyes, noticed the unusual scenery of the sl

I can remember the first time I said some bad word. Maybe I was eight years old. Prior to this I have heard many bad things being said by adults. However, somehow, I knew it is not good to tell them. Yet, on this occasion in my primary years, I said a bad word, for no particular reason and in a friendly way. Nobody knew I said it, maybe except for one of my childhood friends, whom I am sure have totally forgotten that I exist, yet alone the words I said to him. Now, when I lo

Example of a simple life. Let's analyze the character Leon. I watched this movie when I was almost a teenager. About Leon the Professional American Hitman and the little girl Matilda, a girl whose family was murdered by DEA. However, Leon reluctantly takes this 12-year-old girl under his wing, initially just to save her, but later he works as her "Hitman" to take out the DEA agents who took the lives of her family, including her brothers and sisters. It seems a tragic the way

I recently had a discussion with ChatGPT, about myself. It is very thoughtful. Some brilliant Ideas came out from the questions I asked. It is same as having a chat with a thoughtful friend. Consider the following I extracted from the discussion. The universe is experiencing itself through countless little windows This is more poetic than scientific, but I love the idea. There was a time when there were stars, galaxies, oceans and mountains—but no creature looking at them and

Above is the name of the first chapter in the book 6 easy pices by Richerd Fynman the physicist. The book is an introductory book, to physics for anyone who needs to create a better model of the world. I could finish the first chapter in just under an hour, and now I know how the steam comes out from my cup of morning cofee and why the coffee becomes colder when that steam is blown away from the wind. I can understand why the soap bubbles which looked like they have perfectly

What are boundaries? Just imagine, in all our lives what we have tried to do is to define boundaries. When we first started to talk, we said mother and father, to some figure, which has a boundary to it. A tree is a concept with a boundary around it. Same is it's leaves and roots. A stream has a boundary. A drop of water has a boundary. A bottle of water has a boundary. A country has a boundary. Earth. Solar system, Milky way visible universe All these have boundaries. We hav

Mastery is the way? Mastery is the way to achieve higher standard in anything you do, in performing anything. Mastery does apply to anything, from laying bricks to building rockets. However, such achievement of mastery would eat up significant amount of time and resources of a person. The opportunity cost of this can come up resurfaced in the Middle Ages of a person as depression or existential nihilism (personal experience). 10000 hours spent on mastery can either, make you

What is thinking in decades? This is not at all new. In eastern philosophy there is a method which you divide a 100-year human life into decades. First -> childhood. second -> play hood, third -> Beauty, youth, fourth -> power etc etc. However, I recently came across similar concept, where why we should think in decades. If you have read my previous article about next hour, I emphasize that why we should think about next hour and next hour only. But as you can see thinking ab

This blog is full of speculation. It is not scientific at all. Most of the time, the speculations themselves are silly. Some might call even foolish. But it suddenly occurred to me, all this time these silly speculations, were indeed serving a great purpose. They work as placeholders for the truth, otherwise which could have just been an empty void. Imagine life about 2000 years ago in the greatest emperor on earth. In ancient Rome. With great monuments and victorious streets

Background - self help I have been busy studying self help and positive thinking all my teenage years. And I made good use of them to excell in my career. However, as you already know, I missed the whole point. By limiting myself to one subject and one path, and commiting to that I made a mistake. Opportunity cost of not making correct choices in life are huge. And the sad part of it is I have no idea of this alternate route. But, indirectly that made me a wise person. Here I

Value of truth From early life in my life, I was told not to lie. By teachers, by parents by tutors' mentors and numerous adults. And with great respect I believed them. And I try to adhere to the protocol of the society, as far as I can and knew I was doing a wrong thing when and if I told a lie to my six-year-old friend at school. Then you may question me why I asked you to lie. Not to others not for any gain. And strangely why you should lie to yourself? I can explain, wit

Wabi-Sabi is a Japanese concept, of finding beauty in the imperfect, incomplete and impermanence world. The roots of the concept travel deep into Buddhist traditions and philosophy. Anyone who is in search of meaning of life would have understood that the nature by default is an ever-changing impermanent flux of energy and matter. It is really not necessary to chase behind what "matter" is and what "energy" is. We can call it even a universal soup, if you do not like the name

What is currency? A currency is anything that is widely accepted as a medium of exchange, allowing people to trade goods and services without the need for direct barter. Whether it is coins, banknotes, or digital money, a currency derives its value not merely from the material it is made of but from the shared trust that others will accept it in exchange for something valuable. In essence, currency is a tool that enables the transfer of value within a society. If you have rea
