Just Do It !!!

This incident happened an year or two back, when I used to travel to ITPL daily. On one fine day,on my way back from work, I was taking the Outer Ring Road, when I was stuck in the usual evening traffic on ORR. If you notice, this jam on ORR in evenings could last for hours if u're lucky!!! (in sarcastic sense). When I was in the bus waiting for the traffic to clear, there was an Ambulance stuck in the traffic, trying to get ahead in the traffic. Nowadays, its a common sight in Bangalore for ambulances to get stuck in traffic and trying vehemently to get away from the traffic to reach their destination at the earliest. I am not sure, how many people might've died like this, while the ambulance is stuck in Traffic. On this particular day also such a thing happened and I was wondering or pitying the state of the person in the ambulance. When suddenly I noticed that some good samaritan(who was also stuck in traffic) started clearing way for the Ambulance, by directing the vehicles in front of ambulance to make way for it. I was really impressed by this act of the person clearing the traffic to make way for the ambulance :-) I had no words to describe his noble act.  May such people flourish in the world :-) 
   Many times, we know how important it is for an ambulance to get to a hospital, when they get stuck in jams and we just pity their situation and sit quiet witnessing their plight. But we don't get up and act to make things easy for them to get ahead. This is the general attitude of the public in general, which is not good ideally. We should get up and act and try to see if we can make way for ambulance in the traffic, in whatever way possible, so that one life can be saved. After seeing the act of that person that day, I felt, we should stop thinking and start acting in situations, where the action is of most importance. As the Nike ad says, we should adopt the, "Just Do It" philosophy :-) This will definitely will help many people and also, we will feel good that we did one noble act which helped a person in need.
So overcome your procastination attitude and "Just Do It" from now onwards :-)

Give Your Best, Leave the Rest...

The other day, I stumbled upon an Instagram reel that transported me back to the late 90s. It was a clip from 'Movers and Shakers', the late-night talk show hosted by Shekhar Suman that aired on Sony TV between 1997 and 2001. For those who remember, it was one of those shows that carried both wit and warmth, a cultural marker of its time.   This particular reel featured actor Ashutosh Rana, narrating his early struggles in the world of cinema. He recalled a piece of advice someone had given him:   " Ek cheez dhyaan rakhna. Kaam… kaam hota hai. Kaam chota, bada nahin hota. Aur avasar hamesha chote hote hai. Aur parinaam uske vilakshan hote hai. Vilakshan parinaam ke liye, tum bade avasar ki talaash mat karna. Ishwar ka sanket chota hee hota hai, kyuki wo bahut bada hai ."  Translated, it means: “Keep one thing in mind. Work is work. No job is small or big. Opportunities are always small, but their results are extraordinary. For extraordinary results, don’t go sea...

The Equalizer Called Time...

In the 2025 TV series 'Paradise' (Season 2, Episode 3), there’s a conversation between Dr. Louge and Samantha Redmond aka. Sinatra, the tech billionaire, about the imminent apocalypse on earth, that feels less like fiction and more like prophecy. Sinatra, insists that she can shield her family from the apocalypse: “ I have the motive and the resources to do whatever it takes. ”   Dr. Louge listens, almost amused. He replies: “ Billionaires are amazing. You think your money gives you superpowers. You don’t like traffic, you buy a helicopter. You don’t like strangers, you buy an island. There’s only one thing that can fix this. And it’s the one thing even you can’t buy. ” Sinatra asks, “ And what’s that? ”   Dr. Louge replies, “ Time .”   Time,  the simplest word, the hardest truth. Because isn’t that the paradox of our age? We live in a world where money bends reality—shrinks distances, builds fortresses, buys convenience. Yet, when it comes to the most...

What we see is, what we think we see...

   In the Season 2,Episode 1 of the TV series, 'The Brokenwood Mysteries'(2014), Detective Inspector Mike Shepard (the main character) asks Jared Morehu (Shepherd's Māori neighbour) , " I mean to ask, what does Quantum Physics have to do with gardening? ".  Jared: " Well everything.... Quantum Physics is the theory that logically leads to the conclusion that everything is inter-related and that, what we see with our eyes is only a shallow outer form of a much deeper reality ".  Mike: " What we see is ...".  Jared: " What we see is, what we think we see. But, what's really there is most likely something, we haven't even seen yet " That line made me think deeper, not because it’s about quantum physics, but because it’s about us and how shaky our view of reality, really is. It reminds us that perception is not truth; it’s a lens, a filter, a story we tell ourselves about the world. We move through days convinced we know what’s h...
