Gita Jayanti: A Manual for Life, A Mirror for the Soul

On 1st December 2025, we celebrate Gita Jayanti — the day when the greatest user manual for life was spoken. Seven hundred verses, timeless in their wisdom, universal in their relevance and astonishingly practical in the midst of our modern chaos. If there is one book that has walked beside me through every posting, every challenge, every storm and silence, it is the Bhagavad Gita. The Mahatamya of the Gita (In Brief) The Gita is not merely a scripture; it is a conversation that awakens. It teaches us how to live with clarity, face adversity with courage, act without fear and surrender without weakness. It tells us what no school, institution, or leadership manual ever teaches: how to live well, how to love well, how to act wisely and how to die fearlessly. Its glory lies in its sheer simplicity: "It shows the path, it holds the hand and it transforms the traveler". My Journey: Chiseled by the Master Craftsman My love for the Gita is older than my moustache. Ever since childh...

Timeless Sacred Clicks

Image
       This blog showcases pictures clicked over many years. This time its a complilation of my  journey  over many years. Its just not another photo walk in Chandani Chowk or CP. Its about m y sacred travel  and photography which have been very close to my heart. In a way they are  my adventure detox pills. Stepping into each of these sacred spaces has always felt like walking  through a living history of ancient India with my camera in hand and heart wide open. Every  frame became a prayer, every journey a quiet act of soul nourishment and remembrance of India’s  timeless footprint. It's always been fascinating to unravel the contours of our civilisation  which has drawn Ford, Beetles, Angela  Joli and Richard Gere to find outmore about the mystery  behind it all.  The evening aartis at the ghats get framed in the lens first: fire circling against the dark sky, conch  shells, bells and the shimmer of flame...

Gut - Brain Axial Happiness

Image
🧠 Explaining the Gut-Brain Interaction The gut-brain interaction, often referred to as the gut-brain axis (GBA) or microbiota-gut-brain axis, is a complex, bidirectional communication network that links the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) with the enteric nervous system (ENS, the "second brain" in the gut) and the gastrointestinal tract, including its vast community of microorganisms (the gut microbiota). How it Works The communication along the GBA happens via several interconnected pathways:   Neural Pathways : The vagus nerve is the main neural highway, directly connecting the brainstem to the gut, allowing signals to travel in both directions. The ENS also operates somewhat autonomously but constantly communicates with the brain. Neurotransmitters : The gut produces and responds to many of the same neurotransmitters found in the brain, such as serotonin (up to 95% of the body's serotonin is found in the gut), which i...

Loyalty, Surrender and Trust: The Forgotten Pillars of Great Teams

Image
In every thriving organisation, beyond strategy, skill and stamina, lie three quiet virtues that hold everything together: loyalty, surrender and trust . These are not archaic ideas fit only for spiritual texts; they are timeless leadership principles that define lasting professional bonds.   In today’s world in any organisation, relationships between leaders and their teams often wobble under pressure. Short-term goals, self-interest, or insecurity dilute mutual faith. Managers wrestle to inspire commitment; employees struggle to find purpose. What if, instead of transactional engagement, we tried transformational trust?   The Rama–Hanuman Blueprint    The relationship between Rama and Hanuman offers an extraordinary parallel for modern leadership. Rama’s clarity of purpose and emotional intelligence built an environment where Hanuman could surrender - not in weakness but in devotion to a mission larger than himself. Rama never command...
