Understanding Human Psychology

  We suffer more in imagination than in reality. This line really stayed with me. Because if I’m honest, most of the stress I feel is not from what is actually happening, but from what might happen. We create a whole world inside our head — and sometimes that world feels heavier than the real one outside. So many thoughts, so many scenarios, and most of them are worry-filled, anxious, and draining. I’ve caught myself doing this so many times. Replaying a conversation that hasn’t even happened yet. Thinking about what I will say, what the other person might say, what could go wrong. And then replaying it again. And again. By the time the actual moment arrives, I’m already tired. And sometimes, the reality turns out to be so simple, so insignificant compared to the storm I had already created in my mind. Planning is important, no doubt. Thinking ahead, being prepared, helps. But there is a thin line between planning and dwelling. Planning helps you move forward. Dwelling keeps you st...

  Navroz — literally meaning “new day” — marks the beautiful beginning of the spring season. It is a time when nature renews itself, and so do we. Celebrated with hope, gratitude, and fresh beginnings, Navroz reminds us that no matter how long the winter, a new season of growth, warmth, and possibility always arrives. Homes come alive on Navroz with warmth and celebration. There is a sense of freshness in everything — from the cleaning and decorating of the house to wearing new clothes and setting a beautiful table. Families come together, greet each other with love, exchange good wishes, and share meals that are prepared with care and joy. The food itself becomes a celebration — rich, comforting, and full of meaning — bringing everyone closer as they sit, laugh, and enjoy the moment together. At its heart, this is also what the Zoroastrian faith beautifully stands for — goodness, togetherness, and living with a pure and grateful heart. Navroz is not just about marking a new day on...

 Image from: https://pin.it/fkmqvrbbm I have spoken to a couple of friends in the industry, past colleagues and I got to know, that in their organisations, the use of AI and such tools is none to negligible. In their own lives, some explore AI once in a while to see how powerful it can be to shape their thoughts, improve their writing, give them information about something when asked in Natural Language. In my organisation, and the people I work with, I have been fortunate to get introduced to AI for good from the very early days of GPTs birth. It's like we spoke about it when no one did and we started using it, and adopted it in our day to day without any qualms of what next. I think it was top down driven. It was a vision that it's out there to help us solve better for our clients, and for ourselves, instead of it's out there to get us. So what does AI give and what can human offer differently. Many versions of answers to this. Yet this is my attempt. AI gives content. Hu...

  Lately, I’ve been reading a lot about AI — especially around L&D, research, and learning sciences. The more I read, the more one thing becomes clear that AI is powerful, but it needs human caution and human touch. Let me explain what I mean in very simple words. We use a lot of Gen AI to write our emails or do some project work at work or school, yet if AI writes everything for you, what are you learning? If you use AI for every email, write up or every summary, you can feel productive, but you don’t always feel deeply connected to what you produced. The attention and attachment to material is limited as less thought has gone to create it. Because learning is not just about output, it is about the neural connections forming in your brain. When you struggle to write, structure, rethink, delete, rewrite, that is when real learning happens. That is when memory sticks. That is when your thinking sharpens. If AI does most of that heavy lifting, you might understand the topic, but ...

  There is so much stress on communication in corporate nowadays. With AI coming in and many technical skills becoming automated, communication is being called the skill to build. And I agree, it is important. Very important. But lately, I’ve been observing something. Communication is slowly becoming equal to articulation, only great articulation. If you can speak fluently, structure your thoughts well, present confidently, and use the right vocabulary — you are seen as a “great communicator.” Yes, articulation is a must. You should be able to put your point forward clearly so the other person understands you. But I beg to differ slightly. Communication is not just about how well you speak. It is also about how well you listen. And this is where I see something missing. I’ve noticed people entering conversations already prepared to prove a point. Their focus is on framing the perfect sentence, choosing the right words, building the strongest argument. But in that process, something...
