Blabbering what’s inside

Welcome back to the weekly doses of insights,wisdom, philosophy, thought provoking blogposts & articles that gives the reader a wonderful experience to cherish.

This week I want to blabber a little about the things & the thought I found interesting which may sound appealing to you.

These are the two practices that I do daily & find it really useful.

READING : This is one of my favourite passtime other than scrolling through instagram feed or watching interesting videos or listening to nerve- breaking podcasts. Honestly I was never a book lover & I think that is also the reason , why I started liking it in the first place. I guess we should try out more such interests that contradicts our preferences for a while , for that is not something we have exposed ourselves to , hence they might sound a stranger but also interesting. I was never an avid reader , for I was so much stuck in my study books that even the thought of reading a book irritated the hell out of me. I always found it always binding to myself , for I always bounded myself to it with a certain conditioning of the limitedness of its availaiblity in my space. I lived with this conditioning for several years of my life until I accidently happened to find myself drawn to mythological stories. The one thing that interested me about the Indian heritage I belonged to is the diverse amount of stories in that one space & that same story being illustrated in a different format that will amaze the reader even when he /she knows the complete story. Mythological stories are mostly labelled as fiction , but to me that are somewhat of a truth for the message , values & the intricacies that they shower is something that helps us in our real lives , even if we don’t accept it. I also have this weird thought wherein I think that even if these stories are fiction , the writer who wrote them had an experience of creating that within his headspace for the time that was intended to finish the complete book. So , even if for the world it is a fiction , the writer lived that experience in his/ her head & comprehended the same on paper that is availaible to us. The journey that started through his wired imagination when dipped in to the ink of the pages makes that experience come true not only for the writer , because till that point he was living with that experience in his head , but now he has imprinted the same & sharing to millions who will be viewing too with their own lens of imagination. So , in absolute sense it becomes a truth even if its labelled as fiction. My first experience was with the fiction mythological story of THE IMMORTALS OF MELUHA by AMISH TRIPATHI , & it was such a fantastic read that i viewed every part of it through my inward lens. It was more of a film that was going on in my head wherein my brain was deciphering WHAT SHIVA MEANT TO BE?.I can’t say whether I would be having that same feeling if I would have just viewed it as a film. Like the creative juices that worked in my head was my interpretation of my understanding of the character which may not be the same with others. And so it was more of a personal camaraderie that I build with the plot of the story , liking it more & more. I can still remember the smile I had on my face when I read a part of it that seemed amusing , & i also cries when that character was facing through the most dark times. It was all going on & it seemed damm true to me when I read every part of it. Starting off from that , I happened to fall in to the habit of reading that led me read quite a few non-fiction which I really enjoyed without feeling bored , making note & enjoying the most. As if not just the writer is speaking to you , its more of like you are speaking to the writer too. I know , in times where you have audible next to your side , that need of reading books may not seem juicy. But , even if you are just listening if you are able to picture it, you are half way there. The only point of difference is that when you read your eyes, your ears & your brains work simultaneously. You can’t even imagine how powerful this tool for you are living three different sense at the same time & how fast is one’s brain in programming every information in the way one wants to project. It is just not seeing , its hearing , listening , talking inside your friend & visualising the same. So much happening within a fraction of a second. JUST try that experience. It is one of the wholesome meals one can have. I know many of us don’t like to read, but I can assure you that if you hate it , you are most likely to fall in love with it. Try it out. Often the best things are in front of us , but we look for alternatives to substantiate the same. But the originality is something that can never be replaced , howsoever different forms may take place. Be a little ordinary, when it comes to exploring new things out.

WRITING: This is something which actually doesn’t look very appealing & I share the same empathy. Afterall writing was never the most romantic experience anyone can have. But the problem our ideas get the shape when they are likely to be illustrated in some form & the first approach to the same is to register it in writing , be it something you can do via app NOTION, ONE DRIVE, EVERNOTE or just simply & a diary & a pen. I agree handwriting is the bitter part of the journey & we will always seem to hate it , even if its not that dogmatic. Common we are our self - critics. We judge ourselves more often than anyone does. But that is a good indication of a wise human being to criticize themselves first , but don’t criticise oneself to the point of feeling like a shit. Giving oneself the space is the biggest gift one can present to oneself. Our ideas develop in our minds , but our execution of the same develops with time. So , to make sure that one doesn’t lose the track of the time spent in to something , one should try to register it atleast frequently , if not daily. An overall overview also helps in times of crisis. Depression is a severe symptom for those who don’t share , not only with others but also with themselves. It is not because you don’t have anybody to talk to, it happens because one has accumlated so much that they forget to filter a little. That filter is journaling ,even if it is a shit. The moment you get rid of the idea on paper , you are no longer bounded to that emotion any loner, it is shared with the universe & that is what even psychologist refer to. It is one of the best exercise one can practice to gain perspective & strive for wellness. It is something that as even done by BENJAMIN FRANKLIN as a daily ritual that helped him to reconstruct his actions by deconstructing his thoughts. The process is alone , but its worth doing. Try this , give it a shot , & I would recommend you the ordinaary style using a pen &a diary except for those who are technophile. Their lives so much revolve around technology that nothing really exists than the reality that they see on-screen. The problem is not technology guys , the problem is what you are keeping yourself occupied with. You may have the best app , but remember you are occupied by several others. When it comes to filtering it should be just you & your thoughts, no other notifications.

One of the newsletters I came across , which I found insightful. This is by SETH GODIN ‘s BRIDGES & TUNNELS wherein he stated just as we need bridges, so do we need tunnels. Bridges may connect from one point to another , but it most does so on the xpense of deconstructing the atmosphere, by affecting the enviromnent, whereas tunnels on the other hand doesn’t affect the environment , but makes it way within that space. That is where the difference is. The problem is we have built too many bridges , but we have experience very few tunnels. We can forget the latter one , but in times of strife it is what saves us. The former strives for glory , the latter strives for service.

There is this one article on brand equity regarding immunity marketing which I found really interesting.

It talks about how just as our body have mechanisms of innate immunity to protect us from the several unforseen & viruses that surround us everywhere through the innate potential that is naturally built over time. In a similar way should brands act as shock -absorber, being able to cope up with the fluctuations that can happen & to be resistant enough to handle the crisis.This is the immunity that brands can build through trust, purpose , intergrity , & right intent in their service towards their customers.

Another concept which is acquired immunity that our body develops through different medicinal components that we inject ourself with be it with the right food & nutrition , or something like Chwayanprash to keep ourselves immune to the outdoor germs& the indoor germs. Applying in context with the brand , the brand can built different systems through which it can stabilise the threats it can face through unforseen circumstance.

It is one of the most interesting articles how something personal can be related to professional space. With everyone talking about influencer maketing , the concept of immunity marketing took the seat.

Fourthly , I WANT to end with a philosophy.

There is a big difference between reality & observor’s reality. What s general in sense is unique in personal space. It is when we create that difference , do we see the difference. The alignment is always there along with the distortion in it. Sometimes viewing from th other side , makes things easy to handle & judge.

Thank you for your time & patience.
