Jam Jar

In this transition, each of us has become future-ready even before we thought of it, similarly, we have also obtained so many options unlatched. When we were kids, we all wanted to become a doctor, someday a lawyer, or maybe run a business or something. Skip to 20 years and you see different career choices right in front of you. The follow-up question is how does one know which career is best suited for them? So, I happened to recently read this book The Defining Decade by Meg Jay- which had a very beautiful case study I’d like to share. It is called the Jam experiment, so they choose a local grocery store to understand one's life choices. So, there were two conditions, one which has six flavors available for tasting, whereas in the second condition it has six plus the eighteen more flavors of jam. Cut to the chase study showed that the twenty-four-flavor table attracted more attention yet resulted in fewer buyers. Shoppers flocked to the exciting array, yet most became overwhelmed...

Mumbai, as rightly said is not just a city but an emotion. This situation has really amazed us on shutting down of things for a while and we miss them. Lifeline of the city, locals have been shut, this is the longest interruption of services we have come across. Being late and seeing the train late too, is such a blessing in disguise, and ofcourse during the peak hours how adventure it is to travel.

It's a deadlock, you just don't like to talk to anyone. It is a sense where you just want to disconnect or maybe isolate with the rest of the world. Also it's a static in your brain, and you are just so unfocused. Sometimes when you are physically present and emotionally into some other zone.  When you fear to share your emotions to people as they mirror back saying "I feel the same way." World where everything is running through Artificial Intelligence it has almost forced us to be their slaves.  Sometimes we tend to forget human string of compassion, hope, dreams. Instead we ai...
