    Beyond Labels: Finding coherence by defying definitions and blurring boundaries

    We put labels on things, including ourselves. Most of us end up living our lives within a narrow margin from the definitions of our labels. What does it take to go beyond labels?

    History is nuanced. None of us are allowed to sit on a pedestal, none of us were the victims, because in some version of the same story, we all have occupied all roles.

    Welcome to my sandbox

    A place of play, experimentation and freedom. To let go of constraints, and let the imagination roam free. My sandbox is where I tinker - where I take what I observe, feel or think, and give them new shapes. Welcome.

#MyWritingThemes Individuals grow by learning, exp #MyWritingThemes Individuals grow by learning, experimenting and changing. We are all learners and teachers. Today’s world requires us to be radically more efficient and effective in who we are and in how we operate in it. It requires massive ‘system upgrades’ of our selves — to not evolve at the glacial pace of previous ages, but to accelerate on an exponential S-curve, both as individuals and society. How do we adapt to a new way of life, and to new ways of learning that this requires? We explore a mindset of continuous radical evolution, and new approaches for better learning.
Technology, like any other tool, is neutral. Wheth Technology, like any other tool, is neutral. Whether it helps or harms depends on the human. On every single human. What is it that we need/ can do as individuals, organizations and society. Read more on my blog #sandbox (Link in bio)
#MyWritingThemes Learning starts with absorption o #MyWritingThemes Learning starts with absorption of stimuli. The world is bombarded by stimuli, but not always the right kind. The right book finds its way to you when it is your time to read it; the right movie or song plays itself to you; the right teacher finds the student when he/she is ready. How do we stay open to stimuli, and perhaps even actively (subconsciously) attract it, and learn from it? How do we absorb the right stimuli in an optimum way, while rejecting those that don’t help? How do we sift out the signal from the noise?

#MyWritingThemes #18 The step after the absorption #MyWritingThemes #18 The step after the absorption of stimuli is connecting. The connection of ideas into coherent (and sometimes inconsistent) narratives is our way of making sense of the multitude of inputs. So far, as a collective, humanity has begun to embrace the need for growth, and there is no dearth of stimuli. But association is an intuitive process that most of us do not control consciously. How do we train our mind to make conscious connections, and to add up the connection towards insights and wisdom? How do we use tools and technology to augment our ability to do so?
Vishu, the harvest festival, the beginning of a br Vishu, the harvest festival, the beginning of a brand new year. Konna, the beautiful yellow flowers that adorn every garden and every house. Kani – a platter arranged with utmost care the previous night so it would be the first thing you see in the morning. Waking up to start the new year with gods and gold and glory. Paddakam – the exciting thrilling, and often dangerous firecrackers. I couldn’t wait to grow up so I could be cool like my older cousins and light up a firecracker in my hand and toss it gently, heedless of the dangers if it were to burst while still in my hands. Malapadakkam – my personal favourite, a collection of many firecrackers strung together, but probably more dangerous. Vishusadya – the one meal of the year where my band of fourteen cousins would get together, and eat a feast befitting any royal family. Pudava – brand new clothes, usually made in white and gold, to celebrate and usher in the new beginnings. Best of all, the kaineettam – the pocket money every kid gets in the morning, to spend as he or she wants, no questions asked.

#MyWritingThemes What we learn and connect shapes #MyWritingThemes What we learn and connect shapes our unique perspectives. A perspective is our stance, our view of the world, our thinking at this point in time. It is our experiments in a life-long learning process. We experiment with our unique perspective by sharing it with the world. By putting it out there, we take responsibility for it and accept vulnerability. Plasticity in our perspectives is the ability to learn and adapt, to not be dogmatic about our opinions, to cultivate a methodology and mindset to constantly refine and adapt our viewpoints; to retain high agility in our thinking.
