  • What matters next?

    It’s the hi-tech millenia of artificial intelligence, robots and intelligent automation. Humanity is making strides in all branchs of science. Yet in our minds success is mere material, monetary and magnanimus achievements. A bigger apartment, a flashier car, the latest gadgets, another wrist watch. And the wishlist continues, like an bottomless pit.

    Kindness costs nothing

    In a world that prizes constant consumption, how about chasing kindness, empathy and companionship as goals. A world where good behaviour is embraced and warmth is the love language. How about being on a journey where everyone is valued for their existence and the uniqueness they bring to the table.

    So when did you last hear a kid being praised for being kind. In the recent past, do you recall patting your partner for being an empathetic being. Infact when did you pause to count a reconnection with a long lost friend as a personal win. Normalising humanity isn’t rocket science but this surely needs a collective recollect and reset in our over-stimulated cortex!

  • Kindness – A universal language

    Are we being kind only when taking care of our family? Or also when we extend care-giving to our elders and sick ones? Or is kindness only reserved for our interactions outside our homes. Like when we hold the elevator for our neighbours? Or when we greet our friendly grocery guy?

    Or is it an act of kindness when a cabbie offers you extra tips and hacks in a new city? Or a stranger in the waiting queue guides you to the best dishes of the restaurant you are waiting to dine in?

    Kindness needs no language or religion. It’s the global unifying tie that can bind all humanity. Only if we remember that small acts of kindness can keep our earth flourishing with love and warmth for centuries to come
