Facts, Lies, Storytelling or Marketing?

Seth Godin wrote a book called “All Marketers are Storytellers.”


Interestingly when you see the actual image of the book, you will see that the word liars is cut and superimposed with the word Storytellers.


I love paan bur have only one in a year.


Now when I saw this image, I wasn’t sure if it is all facts or just marketing!!


I leave it to you to figure it out 😊😊.

When 500 people began to get happy

This year, December 6th fell on a Saturday. So what's the big deal? There is a December every year and the 6th day of the month also comes every month. So what's the big deal on it coming on a Saturday this year? Well it fell on a Saturday even in 2009. As in most of the Decembers in Delhi that day was also mildly cloudy and crispy cold with some sunlight sneaking through. Something happened that day that I will never forget in my life; something I will forever remember in my life. I had to take my son to his paediatrician for a regular check up and I was driving my mother-in-law's old greyish-blue Maruti 800 with the number plate ending in 4245. Just as we turned left on the Delhi-NOIDA link road from our Mayur Vihar Phase 1 colony, I noticed the weather and also the bleak, expressionless  faces  of the other drivers on the road. They all looked sad and spiritually constipated. Nobody seemed happy. Maybe they were all focussing on their drive and the road ahead even as the...

First posted on FB on 22nd June 2017: Do you believe in miracles? Here is one of the stories from my life that make me believe in them and their importance in our lives and growth. This story is from a time when I was still an ardent follower of one of the gurus from India. For various reasons, I could never get around to sharing this story. Maybe it would be too long to read and maybe it was something deeply personal and I wasn’t sure how to share it. But today in the morning I felt so choked up remembering what happened that day that I had to share this story with the world of that amazing woman I met that day – Lakshmi Paati and what she did for me while getting something done through me. Exactly four years ago on 22nd June 2013, I was supposed to be in Madrid, Spain to facilitate a 4 hour session on the importance of being open to miracles for the 150 odd distribution heads and senior functionaries of the Tata Steel flat products division as part of their annual get together.

Recently I came across a message twice that read something like this: Unless you are capable of violence you are not capable of true peace because unless there is a streak of violence in you, you are essentially harmless. I know the vocal and verbal violence I am prone to and the violence that lurks beneath the surface looking at all the injustice and unfairness in the world. It’s a violence that I manage to become aware of and try to keep under check and manage to do so, most of the time. But when it erupts, my family members and an occasional neighbour see it and hear it. From the age of 10, I have been inspired by Mahatma Gandhi and what he tried to do with the lurking anger at the injustice of it all. I do not claim, by any stretch of imagination that I am anywhere close to him in terms of non-violence or his self-mastery. Maybe I have a couple of generations to go and maybe I need to be meditative at least 8 hours a day in the midst of a noisy and chaotic traffic signal; daily for...
