Image and identity
Self image has at least factors affecting it – one’s abilities, and the acknowledgement one seeks. The latter, especially when one understands others don’t see him/her that way. Where does it go from there?

An efficient existence
Around us, the arts and entertainment space is being converted into efficiency machines. What are we losing out on when we optimise for consumption instead of creation?
Incognito, ergo sum
Our paradoxical needs – to “stand out” and “belong” are both a result of different combinations of happiness, contentment, self image and ego. Ways to make our lives meaningful and/or relevant. Is it possible to live even without that agenda?
Success measures
Kaamyaab, a movie that I immensely liked for many reasons, once again brought up thoughts on how one defines success. Even when one has moved past societal notions and is only locking horns with self-image, the path is reasonably unclear. I thought I had moved ahead by a step, but came upon a bunch of challenges there too!
A space-time freedom continuum
An excellent comment from my previous post on self image, signals and the future, made me think deeper on the specifics of my plans. While a large part of this was about how and where one spends one’s time, I realised there is at least one more layer to this. That was a broader definition of freedom, and it comes with its own set of challenges.
