Introduction- 'चाणक्यश्रेयिका'

 'चाणक्यश्रेयिका' अर्थशास्त्रसूत्राणां जीवनोपयोगी विवेचनम् Chanakya did not write to impress. He wrote to warn, prepare, and protect. In an age where wisdom is reduced to quotes and motivation is diluted into comfort, Arthashastra stands like an unsmiling teacher—asking uncomfortable questions, offering unapologetic answers. This series is my attempt to listen to Chanakya without filters. Over the next 100 blogs, I will be engaging with some of the most powerful sutras of Kautilya’s Arthashastra—not as distant historical statements, but as living principles that still govern human behaviour, leadership, success, failure, psychology, and even science. Each blog in this series will follow a deliberate structure: • The Sutra – as it is, uncompromised • Classical Sanskrit explanation – decoded, not diluted • My commentary – where ancient realism meets modern life • English interpretation – clear, contextual, practica...

To whoemever it may concern..Letter 2- "A love letter to learning,not perfection."

Image
  I fell in love with learning the day I stopped trying to impress it. Learning never demands. When I allowed myself to be wrong, confused, and unfinished, knowledge finally opened its doors to me. Perfection, I’ve realised, is only a peak stage of this love—one that requires consistency, not mere greed. Dear Learning, you have amazed me every time. You have given me confidence, and you truly are someone who adds value to my life. You’ve given me my own identity. With you, I don’t have to worry about outcomes or judgments. It’s never the same with perfection, though it is far more glorified. My eyes fill with rage when the world says that only perfection leads to success, and never mentions that it is you who makes success possible. You have brought bright moments into my life. The things I once disliked now feel interesting with you. With you, everything comes to life. With you, everything feels meaningful. You have given me the most precious thing I own—my perspective. What...

"Tiny Questions, Huge Impact"

Image
Hey there! How are you all? Today, we are going to talk about questions —the ones that make us feel loved, cared for, and most importantly, remind us that we are human. The most human thing is interrogation . “I wonder how this works?”—originating from curiosity, questions have the power to give rise to inventions! Simple ones like “How are you? Where are you? Did you reach home?” —wrapped in concern—deliver care and love. Others like “Isn’t the weather good today? How was your day?” act as little hammers to break the ice, bringing new connections and deepening the ones already flourishing. Of course, questions also have their darker shades: “Have you committed the crime? Better admit at the count of three..” —some bring out truth at gunpoint. Then there are the soulful ones: “What is my purpose in life? What makes me happy?” These act as lighthouses, guiding our inner selves. Sometimes, I even wonder—what was the first-ever question thought of? Questioning has evidently b...

Anatomy of a promise..

Image
  Hi there! Randomly, My brain just reminded me of how important promises are. And How, to interpret those in our own way. Thnking positively about promises can help us become more aware of our relationships and grant motivation.  And I thought of putting this topic in front of you, simplified, and dissected- The Anatomy of a Promise A promise is a fragile bone, it breaks not with noise, but on its own; yet strong as tendons, firm in place, when kept with care and steady grace. Promises come in shapes and sizes, some bring tears, some sweet surprises; sometimes as fine as capillaries thread, wrapped in layers of trust instead. In the plasma of a promise stay afloat love, loyalty, ethics, duty, sacrifice in every note. Promises are like kidneys —  keeps all relationships free from toxins, quietly cleansing what time softens. They are the framework, the muscle, the might, keeping relationships warm and bright; some ignite sparks, like neurons they bind, connecting two soul...

Unfiltered thoughts pt. 10- "When motivation doesn't show up..."

Image
  When Motivation Doesn’t Show Up Sometimes, you feel the drag, but you push through anyway. That’s what society expects of us—to keep going, regardless of whether we’re truly headed in the right direction. But I ask you— where’s the drive? Have you taken a moment to reflect on why you do what you do? What’s the purpose behind it all? Is it the quest for happiness, the desire to bring joy to those around you, or is it simply the act of doing itself? It’s a challenging question. I’ve spoken to people of all ages about their life’s purpose, and many struggle to articulate an answer. Yet, I’ve found clarity in the unspoken response: The Pursuit. If someone finds joy in their actions, why complicate things by demanding a concrete purpose? Embrace the pursuit. And remember— it’s normal to lose motivation now and then. Purpose Fuels Motivation The reality is that purpose drives motivation. When motivation doesn't show up-, it’s important to seek out your purpose. At times, life ...

Unfiltered thoughts pt 9- 'Healing isn't Aesthetic, it's raw.'

Image
 Hey there! I’m back to pour you a cup of freshly brewed, perfectly unfiltered thought — Healing is not always pretty. Recently, I came across an Instagram meme that said: “Ye healing-hooling kuch nahi hota, ek cup chai pilado.” And it instantly triggered something in my brain — because that’s damn true. “Healing-hooling” is not as smooth as it sounds. It’s not always a feel-good thing. Although the word 'healing' sounds soothing to the ears, in practice, it often isn’t. As humans, we witness others and ourselves cycling through grief and happiness. And in between lies healing — unnoticed, yet the only bridge between those two states. Healing is usually associated with therapy sessions, yoga, journaling, or medicines. But lately, people seem to have cracked a new code: they are finding healing in a cup of tea, a short trip, a good book, or a heartfelt conversation. And maybe that's what's healing. It's raw. Maybe you dont even know you're healing out of somethin...

  Hey! I'm back again with an exciting life hack to help you become a superhuman! I'm sure you've experienced that overwhelming rush of thoughts that can distract or even emotionally disturb you. Today, I'm going to discuss one common issue related to our thoughts—and how to tackle it using your mind. You might have even heard about stories and legends winning life's hardest battles with just their willpower. And that's where the game begins. First off, give me a pat on the back for attempting to define a thought: “A series of neural signals that occur either on command or spontaneously, composed of different pieces of data stored in various regions of the brain, related to past experiences, present circumstances, or predictions about the environment.” And then, I settled with just calling it a thought .  Thoughts flow in and out effortlessly, like they’re on a mission and heavily paid to do so! Some originate from the Department of Dreams , while others a...
