Intellectual Masturbation

Intellectual masturbation is a harsh term, no doubt about that, but it can be a helpful metaphor. This bad word or bad-phrase is mostly used among people in the Marketing domain but broadly applies to all areas of business. Describes the act of getting caught up in theoretical discussions or internal brainstorming that leads nowhere. While exploration and creative thinking are crucial, staying focused on actionable insights is vital for business success.

How to write Obituaries

An Indian context on how to write obituaries. When Alfred Nobel, a richy-rich man did not die, but the newspapers – out of mistaken identity, published an obituary, Nobel didn’t like it the least.

Oh My Resilient Mind!

“Oh My Resilient Mind” is a journey through fracture, reflection, and renewal. It begins with the ache of falling short, the sting of lost courage, and the weight of moments that feel longer than they are. Yet beneath the turmoil lies a steady pulse of strength. The voice admits its hurts, acknowledges the scars, and still chooses hope.

As the verses unfold, self-compassion rises—an invitation to look back at the distance already travelled, to reclaim energy, and to play one’s part with purpose. The poem ends with a stirring reminder that resilience is not the absence of struggle, but the inner vow to rise, reconnect, and stay strong.
