    The future of artificial intelligence is now: How our choices today impact our reality of tomorrow

    We need to design AI with the human interest at the center, in a way that it enriches our lives and ensures an inclusive world in the future. The responsibility lies with each and every one of us.

    When Wait is a synonym for Never: On why we need to be impatient for change

    Leadership is not just about the trajectory of change, it is also about the pace of change. It is time we had an inclusive world, a world we can be ourselves, where we are beyond labels.

    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.

Perspective has been a long-time obsession of mine Perspective has been a long-time obsession of mine. Art from different perspectives fascinates me. Writing that explores novel ways of playing with points of view, difficult reads as they often tend to be, almost always gets my undivided attention. It is also a topic in which I find myself in the early stages of what I am sure will be a long and enlightening search. ⁠ ⁠ Check out my #blogpost on #sandbox where I share three aspects on perspective to consider.

Word is but one medium to express what we feel and Word is but one medium to express what we feel and who we are. It is also a limiting one. When we elevate language to be the sole medium of our communication and connection, we limit our potential for resonance. Let’s explore the ways our language limits our ability to convey and to connect, what other means we have (or need to create) to connect and find our resonance. Intuition is an umbrella term used for many things we cannot explain. It needs to be better understood, and ideally harnessed. How do we articulate what we can only intuit?
#BookRecommendation: This is a compilation of 100 #BookRecommendation: This is a compilation of 100 poems from the “Staying Alive Trilogy” that consists of “Staying Alive,” “Being Alive” and “Being Human,” each of which contains 500 carefully curated poems. The compilation is a further selection from these – it is a wonderful collection that explores the human condition with gentle honesty and leaves the reader feeling less alone and more alive.

We are defined as much by who we are not, as by wh We are defined as much by who we are not, as by who we are. Seeking connection with another individual, resonance with those around us — these are intentional acts made with considerable effort. Instead of doing this, we simplify and reduce our (and each others’) identities, restricting our ability to be who we could possibly be. What if we could accept a reality where who we are and who are, not are not just irrelevant but also interchangeable? Many of us struggle with our identities, and perhaps acceptance could be the solution to all of our collective “identity crises”.
Creating something useful out of fragmented and se Creating something useful out of fragmented and seemingly unrelated ideas is an art by itself. However, unlike popular opinion, the world is not divided into those who can create and those who can not. Granted creative thinking is no easy feat but it can be, like other skills, nurtured and developed by everyone.⁠ ⁠ Hear me talk about creativity on my #blog sandbox (Link in bio)
#21Themes Growth and decay are natural rhythms of #21Themes Growth and decay are natural rhythms of our world. Why crave constant growth? Why do we expect companies to deliver double-digit growth every quarter? Why not ebb and flow with the natural tides of the natural world? It is from the ashes of the good that the great emerges. This is a cry for recognizing the natural rhythm; not to fight what should not be fought. Recovery is critical for sustainable life. Human suffering is not in suffering, but in the rejection of suffering. Let us embrace and rejoice in the ebb, as much as in the flow.
I tend to stay clear of books that have Happiness I tend to stay clear of books that have Happiness in their title. But I was hooked on to this after Shawn Anchor spoke in one of our conferences (the next best thing to seeing Shawn in action is to watch his TED talk – highly recommended) and I learned something new and useful! I particularly like concepts which make me take a 180 degree turn on my point of view. Without giving the punchline away, I recommend you read the book The Happiness Advantage. While you are at it, you might also want to try other books by Shawn Anchor – in particular Big Potential, the basic premise of which is that while we can achieve our small potential alone, to achieve our BIG potential, we need to work with others, and he shows how to do that best by combining neuroscience and psychology with big data.
#21Themes The ability to absorb absolute contradic #21Themes The ability to absorb absolute contradictions is a sign of advanced intelligence. It is a critical trait to survive in our changing world. It is and it is not: both could be true at any given point in time. We can be silent and we can be eloquent, not just sequentially, but also simultaneously. The ability of our mind to bend is trained by the embrace of contradictions. While we like to think we reject contradictions, we already accept many paradoxes: the use of force to subdue force, for example. Paradoxes are an integral part of an inclusive culture.
