Perhaps there is no single answer. What do you think about this? Why a birthday celebration is meaningful to you?…
It’s been 48 days since I wrote the last blog post on this website (wrote on 23rd February). From that time to now, a lot of things have drastically changed in the world. The world has witnessed a new pandemic in the form of the novel coronavirus. Almost a million people infected and more than 10000 died till now. No one knows how many more lives will die off the virus. I have been reading from various sources about the virus and its implications….
In one of my previous blogposts named ‘Why Reading is Essential for Unleashing Your Potential?“ I discussed the ill effects of spending too much time in front of television. Since then a few people had asked me whether there are any positive effects of watching videos. Sure. Why not? I still believe that reading books are 100 times better than watching videos. However, in some cases, videos have an edge over books. For example, if you are trying to grasp some complicated concept, perhaps watching…

Do you know what ‘polymath’ means? Polymath, Renaissance man, multipotentialite these all have the same meaning. The above picture depicts the meaning perfectly. It means a person having the expertise or skilled at multiple things. Take Leonardo Da Vinci for example or Benjamin Franklin or Richard Feynmann. In fact, most people who left their impact in this world were all polymaths. There is a famous quote which says- “Jack of all trades, master of none” You must have heard about this or at least…
There are always some people, whom either you adore a lot or you hate them. There is no in-between. You can’t say he or she is an average person. The average word just doesn’t suit. I always admire such people for their exclusitivity. Whether they are really good or worse but the thing about them is they are original. They don’t try to copy others, some might not like them but they never try to quench other’s satisfaction by losing their originality. In the…
