Books can take you to next level?


“The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read.”
-Mark Twain

Ralph Waldo Emerson said “a man is known by the books he reads”. Books are my friends who I always look up to. At times I may feel that I am spending a bit much on books than I can afford to but today, undoubtedly I can say it’s always worth the money spent and the time spent (especially compared to the idiot box!). For sure, reading gives you better insight to your own life and takes you to next level. By reading a good book, you get to know author’s experiences and dreams and don’t you think that can add value to your life?

I always benefited from my favorite persons’ book suggestions and I guess it’s my turn now.

What I like: An exciting fable that tells you that everything is possible as long as you really want it to happen. Written in simple and lucid language!

“” I like:
It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.

When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it...


Greatness guide and Greatness guide 2 (Robin Sharma)
What I like:- Robin Sharma has written a deeply personal guide that shares his own life journey. Each lesson is rich with proven wisdom and packed with real-world examples. Yes, again two very simple but profound books.

“” I like:
It’s never too late to become the person you have always dreamed of being.

Focus plus daily improvement plus time equals genius


Evolve your brain (Joe Dispenza, D.C)
What I like:- I am still reading this book. Usually I am a fast reader but I guess neuroscience does need some time to understand (hi to my Engineering background). This is indeed a very good read for those looking to have a clearer understanding of the brain's impact on reality.


The Last Lecture(Randy Pausch)
What I like: - some intelligent answers to “What wisdom would we impart to the world if we knew it was our last chance?”  “If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we want as our legacy?”

“” I like:
We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand.

Brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want something badly enough. They are there to keep out the other people.

Randy Pausch ‘s Life and the last lecture
Randy Pausch passed away on July 25th, 2008 of Pancreatic Cancer, but before he died he gave his famous “Last Lecture” at the Carnegie-Mellon University entitled “Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams”.  A great 1.5 hour lecture that speaks to everyone.

This is a never ending list....and I will try to add more...meanwhile let me know the books you are fascinated about!

Three bright ‘SUN’ny days…!

"Learning is finding out what you already know, Doing is demonstrating that you know it, Teaching is reminding others that they know it as well as you do. We are all learners, doers, and teachers." -Richard David Bach   Three bright ‘SUN’ny days…Those words explain the SUN Solaris cluster training we finished yesterday. A refreshing experience with lot of learning; to be precise the training opened many doors on both technical and personal front. All kudos to a brilliant trainer from SUN education service – Rajesh R . I don’t think we have many like him who can explain an advanced subject like this in a lucid manner. I and three other colleagues who attended from my team were equally skeptical when we were informed of this training. It was because this topic had nothing to do with our current profile. But today, I am clear that everything happens for a reason! It was quite interactive and he moved from technical topics to his personal experiences from time to time. S...

"Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you"

“Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you. Remember that you will indeed meet your Lord, and that He will indeed reckon your deeds.” This sermon was delivered on the Ninth Day of Dhul Hijjah 10 A.H. in the ‘Uranah valley of Mount Arafat ’ (in Mecca ). After praising, and thanking God he said: “O People, lend me an attentive ear, for I know not whether after this year, I shall ever be amongst you again. Therefore listen to what I am saying to you very carefully and take these words to those who could not be present here today. O People, just as you regard this month, this day, this city as Sacred, so regard the life and property of every Muslim as a sacred trust. Return the goods entrusted to you to their rightful owners. Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you.  Remember that you will indeed meet your Lord, and that He will indeed reckon your deeds. God has forbidden you to take usury (interest), therefore all interest obligation shall henceforth be waived. Your capital, howev...

Regulated Financial Advisor in Dubai, UAE

Dubai is an interesting city, multi-cultured, happening, and attractive. All sorts of people come here for work and business. 99.9999% may be good and has the right intentions but that .0001% can flip the perception of something you have. For example, the businesses here heavily depends on post-dated cheques(PDCs) and unless there is a recession or economic downtime, generally everyone sticks to the date in the PDCs and release the payment. But there are people or businesses utilizing PDCs to cheat people or businesses where the PDC are not followed-through which will have a negative cyclic shock. Because there will be a backend payment promised based on the PDCs. And it impacts the complete ecosystem. Here is a recent article on the subject -  https://www.forbes.com/sites/simonconstable/2019/02/26/multi-billion-dollar-debt-crisis-looms-for-dubai/ Agree, this is not just a Dubai problem as this can impact any city or country. Another recent perception changing post was on ...
