Train of thoughts from the window seat

Train of Thoughts from the Window Seat

As I sat watching the world race by from the train window during my recent journey, something struck me.

The scenery kept changing rapidly—each moment a blur of fields, cities, people—just like our thoughts, always in motion. It’s hard to hold onto one thought, just as it’s impossible to capture one scene from a speeding train.

But then I noticed the sky. Constant, still, calm. Unmoving, while everything else flew past. And because of that steady backdrop, I could focus on the beauty in each frame.

Life works the same way. We can’t stop the train of thoughts. But by accessing the stillness within—like the steady sky—we become more aware, not overwhelmed.

That’s where micro-practices come in. They help us tap into that calm space, allowing thoughts to flow without irritation, and helping us see the bigger picture.

I guide busy professionals through micro-practices to release stress, anxiety, and irritating thoughts and quickly return to a state of peace and calm.

DM me to experience the power of micro practice over a 20-minute call.

Lesson on web design

I am not an expert web designer, but after seeing two web designs in my backyard, I couldn’t help but draw some parallels to the digital world.

Image 1 :

A delicate, artistic spider web, shining in the light. It’s beautiful, no doubt. But… it was not exactly catching any bugs.

Form over function? Maybe.

 

Image 2:

A no-nonsense, sprawling web between the barbed wires. It was not winning any beauty awards, but it sure was effective. Bugs didn’t stand a chance. Function over form? Absolutely.

This got me thinking: isn’t this the same debate we have with websites?

Should we focus on making them look stunning or ensuring they are practical and get the job done?

Turns out, like the spiders, the best design is a balance.

A web – whether spun by nature or coded online – needs to catch something. Bugs, customers, leads, conversions. You can have the flashiest site in the world, but if it doesn’t work, what’s the point?

And finally, remember:

Whether it’s the web in your backyard or the one on the internet, both should be able to catch bugs and customers! 😉

Me and My Shadow

 Me and My Shadow

Shadow is there because I am.

And I am in the Sun.

The shadow looks like me, but not always. It changes with the movement of the Sun, the clouds, and the objects around. When darkness falls, the shadow merges into it.

Yet, why do I sometimes think the shadow defines me?

The shadow can pull me into darkness, but I know — I can show up as a shadow, though I am not the shadow.

And there must be something for the shadow to appear on. I exist beyond it.

Just like these water lilies — their reflections depend on the light, the water, and the stillness, but their true form rises above, unaffected by the ripples or shadows cast on the surface.

A reminder for all of us: You are more than your shadow. Step into the light, and embrace your true self.

 

PS – There will be many aha moments in the ordinary and this particular one happened while walking on the terrace yesterday evening, giving rise to the above rumination.

Can you spot the odd Bag?

I was on a train, surrounded by the usual hustle and bustle, when something caught my eye—a row of bags neatly placed on the luggage carrier above. At first glance, everything seemed in perfect order. Each bag was neatly placed in its spot, just as it should be. But then, something about Bag 2 struck me as odd.

There it was, tucked among the others, yet somehow different. It wasn’t the color or the size, but the way it was placed. I just had a feeling that it would take a bit more effort to pull down than the others.

As the train chugged on, I couldn’t help but think how much this mirrored life. We often try to keep everything in place, organized, and under control. But then, something unexpected comes along—a priority that demands our immediate attention. And suddenly, our perfectly arranged plans are disrupted.

Bag 2 became a symbol of that disruption. To get to it, you would have to move other bags around, maybe even struggle a bit. Just like in life, when a new challenge forces us to shift things, to make space, and to adapt.

So there I was, on this ordinary train ride, staring at an ordinary row of bags, and realizing that sometimes, it’s the little things—like Bag 2—that remind us of the bigger picture. We can plan all we want, but life will always find a way to shake things up. This causes lot of stress but challenging us to adjust and grow.

What’s your Bag 2 today? And how will you rearrange things to make room for it?

Remember, practicing small moments of mindfulness—those simple micro-practices—can help you create the space, peace, and calmness you need to handle life’s unexpected priorities with ease.
