Time flies. Have completed 52 blogs so far. Impulsively decided to do daily blog on May 1st 2017. I am enjoying my blogging time. I am really not writing these to motivate, help people or bring some change. None of these. I am just doing the blogging to know what I really have inside me and to test few assumptions and emotions. On the way if this helps someone I would be happy. Initially, I was getting the questions like – “”How are you managing to write daily blogs”

We do many things in our life which are not really logical or rational. But we still continue to do. We are carrying some of the old defective software in our brains from generations. We are unconscious about many of these thinking fallacies (errors/myths/misconceptions). Even if we are conscious about some of these errors we don’t want to challenge them because either we want to “align socially” or avoid pain of thinking and change. Some examples: “Because everyone is doing xyz… so that

We live with many biases every day . Most of these are unconscious and irrational. But we continue to live without challenging these fallacies. Some times we call these as “traditions”. On the outset, you may think that these are some kind of cognitive biases not related to you. But, if you really take a deep dive then you will realize how much negative impact they would have created in many areas of YOUR life. Most importantly these are very unproductive. In our evolutionary

Before our first baby was born, many of our relatives and close people have done an excellent prediction that I will get a baby boy. People in my place used to tell me my son would carry my family name. Not really sure, what this means even till date. Anyway, my first kid is a baby girl. I am absolutely fine with any one. But most people around me are not fully  fine with it. But anyway, they decided to give a chance to me. So they said “You are very lucky  you got a girl  who is

I am sure you have an experience of going to a movie which turned out as bad one. Did you walk out of the theater as soon as you realize this?. Most probably not !!. What about  the food you have ordered that is not tasting good? But, you still try hard to finish it. Right? Are you ready to sell off your investment which you know is not going to yield better returns any time?.  What about continuing in the same organization even though you know you are not going to progress/enjoy? All the

Let’s say you see a news headline – “Tomorrow there will be major storm” vs “Weather will be very beautiful tomorrow”. Which one will you pay more attention? Most probably first one unless, you are a self realized yogi or Buddhist monk. Just from yesterday’s India’s loss on Pakistan, 20x more social media and news content was generated than any of the previous wins on Pakistan. When stock market touches high people don’t talk much about

We may be divine kids or god sent angels. I think we are nothing but  set of beliefs, habits, likes and dislikes. Most of these we form at early age – your core personality gets defined. And we refine only few things later in life. And for rest of the life we see every thing from these “lens” and then define good vs bad. And you will justify why you are right. This is called ” Confirmation Bias”.  This is the mother of all fallacies. Confirmation bias –

15 years back I went to Paris on some work assignment. As part of the weekend visiting ritual we went to Paris Louvre Museum to see some things. Before one room, lot of people (from many countries) were rushing and pushing to take pictures before  Mona Lisa painting. I never heard about Mona Lisa painting before that.  From little distance, I was looking at the picture and I could not understand what is there in the picture. It was not like a Ravi Varma’s  painting. I asked my friend
