  • Success

    What’s your top tip to be successful in life?

    The meaning of success differs from person to person. For some, being a millionaire means success; for others, being able to do whatever they can, financially, physically, and mentally, is success.

    My top tip for success is not to compare yourself to others, to be your own competitor, and to have no self-doubt. Just think you can do anything. Remember what we think is what we become.

    Success doesn’t come easily; it requires consistency, patience, and perseverance. Your real test is when nothing is working out. Even then, you should continue your work without being overly affected.

    There is a famous shloka from the Bhagavat Gita

    कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन।
    मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि॥

    Karmanye vadhikaraste Ma Phaleshu Kadachana,
    Ma Karmaphalaheturbhurma Te Sangostvakarmani

    This shloka means you should not be concerned about the fruits of your Karma; your only attachment should be with the Karma.

  • Book, Movie and TV
    Reading Time: < 1 minute

    What’s a book, movie, or TV show that you wish you could experience again for the first time?

    That’s an interesting question. Anything qualifies for this only when it is good enough to live that experience again.

    Book – I love reading and have read around 200 books so far. There are so many books that qualify for this, but to choose one, I would select “The Secret” by Rhonda Byrne. It’s one of the most inspiring and positive books I’ve ever read. It resonated well with me, as the book’s underlying theme aligns with my own thinking and life experiences. I would love to read it again, and actually, I am planning to do that soon.

    Movie – Again, there are lots of movies to rewatch. But the “1984” movie by Michael Bradford is the one I want to rewatch. The film adapts the novel and brutally shows how totalitarianism dehumanizes people. It’s one of the best adaptations.

    TV Show – I loved the show “Breaking Bad”; it was just genius. The characters, acting, story, twists, everything was top-notch. I would love to watch that again while enjoying popcorn.

  • Ouray – The Experience
    Reading Time: 2 minutes

    The second day of our boys’ trip is complete now, as we lie in our beds thinking about the hike tomorrow.

    Today our day started in Ouray, also known as the Switzerland of America, with Via Ferrata through Basecamp Ouray, and it was just fantastic. After we were done with that, we had our lunch in a nice rooftop Thai restaurant – Thai Chili with such great food and atmosphere.

    After that, we drove the million-dollar highway to see the lush mountains and scenic views. That took most of the time, and at the end of it, covered the Cascade falls through a small hike.

    We came back to our hostel, took a hot tub and a shower, and went back to Telluride for dinner. We roamed around the city and then had dinner at a Mexican restaurant- La Cocina.

    The day was productive and satisfying. Now we have a 9-mile hike tomorrow morning. Let’s see how that goes.

    Here are the pictures from today-

  • Happiness
    Reading Time: < 1 minute

    What’s a common misconception people have about happiness?

    I think people kind of know it but don’t really know it, lol. All of us have heard that money can’t buy happiness, yet most of us still pursue money for most of our lives.

    Happiness is unrelated to money; it is directly related to how we perceive things. Contentment is an important factor in happiness. I personally feel happy when I am in nature, looking at those mountains, streams, valleys, and wildlife makes me happy.

    Happiness doesn’t come from outside; it is felt inside, so it can never depend on external factors or material things.

  • Telluride – An Experience
    Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Right now, I am on a boys’ trip to Telluride. After driving for nearly 14 hours, we reached our destination at 7PM, with a start time of 5AM.

    It’s one of the most beautiful towns I’ve ever seen. We just finished our dinner here and are now roaming around the town.

    Right now, the town is crowded because of the Bluegrass music Festival. The car parking starts well before the town entrance, and there is a tent site with numerous tents in different colors. The visitors are staying in the tents as well as in the town or nearby places.

    We are staying at Bivvi Hostel, 20 mins from Telluride. It’s a great location, will cover the reviews and other details in the next post.
