One of the key reasons I was trapped into aimless wandering for sometime was because I kept listening to what everyone around me was saying. That was when I came across this quote by Winston Churchill “You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks.” During ourContinue reading “Aimless Wandering”

Everything is in His Hands
Life is not predictable. There are ups and downs along the way. Many of us want to trust God. When times are good, it can feel easier. But when times feel difficult, it is even more important to trust God. God’s unchanging character can give us a firm foundation when things feel unsteady and uncertain. LifeContinue reading “Everything is in His Hands”
Appreciating What You Have
This image takes me back to my first visit to a Jesuit mission station, a village in the Palghar district of Maharashtra. The villagers had to walk a long distances in the hot sun to get essential supplies. We live in a world of instant gratification where we place an order on our phones andContinue reading “Appreciating What You Have”
Asking the Right Questions
There are some of us who keep asking questions about anything and everything. We may call them skeptics, doubting Thomases etc. Life is full of questions, it’s almost as if the more questions we have, the less answers there are. The fact that we have questions is a good thing though, because it means weContinue reading “Asking the Right Questions”
Character vs Competence
Growing a team, whether at work or anywhere else, onboarding the right people is key. Competence is necessary, no doubt about that. But for me, character is also very important. A person of integrity who is not skilled for the role will only grow frustrated while frustrating everyone else. So competence is important, but characterContinue reading “Character vs Competence”
Sitting with the broken
When you think about all the kings and leaders that have ruled throughout human history, few, if any of them, are regarded as people worth following. But look to nearly any religion, major or minor, and you’ll find a fairly common theme. Their messiahs and prophets, while very much human and fallible, all worked towardContinue reading “Sitting with the broken”
Intimacy with the Almighty
I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that we have a chance to connect at such a deep level with the almighty, to get intimate with an infinite force! God gave us free will to choose Him, an invitation, respecting our choices, without wanting to control us. Want intimacy with Him? Then makeContinue reading “Intimacy with the Almighty”
Learning to Love Obstacles
Ryan Holiday in his book The Obstacle is the Way explores the idea that obstacles are actually our best friends, our wisest teachers, our greatest allies. Using examples from Marcus Aurelius to Amelia Earhart, Ulysses S. Grant to Barack Obama, he shows that the greatest feats in humanity weren’t accomplished in the absence of obstaclesContinue reading “Learning to Love Obstacles”
Silence
There are some days when we just would love to sit in silence and enjoy some peace and quiet. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. We don’t need to be always talking. And this is the same even if you are married or you are single. There are situations where we have no wordsContinue reading “Silence”
Your Inner Voice
Whether we’re willing to admit it or not, everyone has an inner voice that guides them in their day to day lives. Most of us can easily recall a situation in which an inner voice, perhaps considered a conscience or merely a fleeting thought, gave us sound advice that we knew was the right option.Continue reading “Your Inner Voice”
