Of life, love & learning: July 2008
http://bhavnatalwar.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Of life, love and learning. Thursday, July 24, 2008. We do know cerebrally that all of life and all knowledge is interconnected. However, it is sometimes the silos which protect us from the vast stormy seas out there and we take refuge. A non-marketing person like me hears the word ‘positioning’ and decides to sleepwalk through the class because it is a marketing subject. I don’t need to know more than enough to answer my exam. Or do I? For the next set. They are told that they will. It’s like soci...

Of life, love & learning: Wild Wild West
http://bhavnatalwar.blogspot.com/2007/12/wild-wild-west.html
Of life, love and learning. Wednesday, December 5, 2007. Where getting a shirt laundered is more expensive than buying it, where sunny weather is good weather and people think of chicken as vegetarian food. The accent is all the same (basically Brit). (okay this changed after the wave of American sitcoms filled our evenings)…. I can hardly claim to know all the intricacies of how the different people in the ‘West’ differ. But atleast I have now the awareness that they do. If I keep my...Its nice to see t...

Of life, love & learning: Art of Work. Work of Art.
http://bhavnatalwar.blogspot.com/2008/02/art-of-work-work-of-art.html
Of life, love and learning. Sunday, February 10, 2008. Art of Work. Work of Art. Why is it, I have always wondered, that when great work is done, it is not marvelled upon too long? Why is work done with diligence and passion and skill not celebrated too long after it's over? Why is it that what people devote their life, their creativity and the best of themselves is lauded for sometime and then forgotten? Why are so many passionate lives spent in vain? Pretty insightful as always :-). View my complete pr...

Of life, love & learning: Let's make things better
http://bhavnatalwar.blogspot.com/2007/10/lets-make-things-better.html
Of life, love and learning. Wednesday, October 17, 2007. Let's make things better. I have heard somewhere, ‘the human mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled’. So true. Our mind is not limited in what it can learn. There is a whole wide world to explore, things to pick up, things to ponder about and as important if not more, things to be able to lose, fashionably known as unlearning. Very true Bhavna.reminds me of something Ram once told me .agree with you 100%! I think we should have ...

Of life, love & learning: Rezpekt!
http://bhavnatalwar.blogspot.com/2007/12/rezpekt.html
Of life, love and learning. Wednesday, December 12, 2007. But I am not. I am not sad or low or disappointed. I am more amazed by the day. The more I know about Finland, the more I grow to like and respect the place. I am happy to be here and learn from an amazingly egalitarian people. All services actually work. Bank cards reach you in a day; taxis accept credit cards and provide warm noise free service (at a price ofcourse); store workers are polite and attentive… I could just go on and on. Genuine....

http://bhavnatalwar.blogspot.com/2008/05/these-are-few-of-my-favourite-finns.html
Of life, love and learning. Thursday, May 29, 2008. These are a few of my favourite Finns. I am the kind of person who takes an immediate liking to something, and also sometimes an immediate disliking. I have been wrong so, so many times in my first impressions that it doesn. Trip It might not count because I probably made up my mind on the first weekend but trying to use positive reinforcement here so please let’s just go along). Here are some things that I see around and find adorable…. Summer holiday ...

http://bhavnatalwar.blogspot.com/2008/05/that-elusive-thing-called-truth.html
Of life, love and learning. Friday, May 16, 2008. That elusive thing called truth. One way to look at it is that human beings need heroes, need to believe in that grandeur and larger than life scope that stories give us. Most human lives are so insignificant in the large scheme of things and we are too smart to not realize it. These stories connect us to something bigger, grander, more important than us. Metaphors help us digest the abstract. I have a story which illustrates how the incidentals tamper wi...

http://bhavnatalwar.blogspot.com/2007/10/to-know-what-i-dont-know.html
Of life, love and learning. Monday, October 1, 2007. To know what i dont know. Disclaimer: This is going to be a little more winded and self indulgent. Have you ever noticed how difficult it is to describe someone you know well in just one word or sentence? Know, its so much easier to pronounce them 'idiot', 'shy', 'wannabe', 'cribber', 'suck up' or 'friendly', 'sweet', 'nice'. Ofcourse. You know that the generally shy one is really a clown around friends. You know that the ' superbitch. Honestly, that w...

http://bhavnatalwar.blogspot.com/2007/11/conversation-asking-answering-lifes.html
Of life, love and learning. Monday, November 5, 2007. Conversation - Asking and answering life’s questions. Some interesting tidbits of recent conversations. 8220;I don’t want to be 60 and realize I never lived”. Said so often, but practised so little. I want to prioritise. I want to learn. I want to be there for those who need me. I want to love and be loved. I want to build something big that outlasts me. I want to be useful for more than just me. 8220;What do you want to do with your life? I have one ...
