Just give me your next 60 sec…if you like it, hang-in here, else you are ofcourse a free person, and you may choose to leave 😊.

Imagine a conversation between…

Cyano: the first life (a single cell bacteria) to evolve on earth some 3 billion years ago, and

You: a human, the most evolved organism on earth today!

Cyano: If you are like the 99.7% humans of this world, then you have, atleast once, felt like leaving everything behind and just taking off to the Himalayas in search of that mysterious feeling, which you guys call by different names like peace or purpose or happiness or satisfaction!!

You: Oh common!! Please don’t give me this b**it (aka gyaan). This is for the weak-minded, who can’t control their emotions/desires/feelings. I am “practical and in control”!! And, I have “responsibilities”!! A loving wife/husband, adorable kid, parents, and then a very good master (aka a ‘job’)…what more do I want in life! How on earth do you expect me to even care about this shit! And what do you know about our challenges?? Afterall, you are just one single cell, while I am 37 trillion of you combined!!

Cyano: Sorry for the hyperbole, but I am just referring to the pent up frustrations of your everyday lives which often try to find a release sometime somewhere. And tons of research on that marvelous machine, often called your ‘brain’, clearly supports the need to release these frustrations, else they will erupt like the untimely whistle of a pressure cooker, often leaving a mess around it.

You: Seriously! More Gyaan!! I am tired of this philosophical speech. Every book/article/video just talks about the ‘need’ for this. Nobody has any clue about ‘how’! So just leave it, I don’t have time or energy for another one of those tirades :X

Cyano: As you said, I am just a single cell. So I like to keep it simple 😊. What you need in your life is just some “VARIETY”. Variety in all aspects of your life- daily routine, food, the people you talk to, your work, what you think about, your goals, your worries, your highs, your lows….you get the gist…basically your whole environment!

You: VARIETY! Now that’s a new one! But if that is the mantra, I think I already have it. I talk to so many people in my daily life, read about so many different things (aka social media), etc etc.

Cyano: That’s fair. But how much of this variety have you “consciously chosen yourself”?

You: Umm, i….hmmm. But how can a person have so much choice or control! Remember, I am no millionaire or kid of a millionaire! And as I said, I have ‘responsibilities’. Are you not listening!!

Cyano: You don’t need to be a millionaire for this! You already have the capability to exercise full control over this variety. As you mentioned, you are the most evolved organism on earth, remember!

You: Ah again!! But surprisingly, I think you might have a point!

Cyano: I know 😊 😊

You: Go on now…is there a simple and practical next step to this?

Cyano: Oh yes! Just read on…this blog….Parag’s blog. He is sharing some small but non-routine unique experiences of his life…from different aspects- travel, food, arts or some just for fun one-timers. He calls them the “spices” of his life. Read them…experience them…explore them!

And by the way, he is just like you. He has a loving wife, an adorable daughter, parents, sibling, and yes, that strict master (aka a full time job) which often sucks out most of his time/energy/thoughts of his waking life.

So go on… just add some flavor to your life too. Life is too short to be boring!!

If you have reached here, I assume you would like to hang-in a bit more…

So…WELCOME to my world! I invite you to see some of the different spices I have tasted so far in my life….which have kept it flavorful 😊

You might have experienced some of them on your own already… maybe you might find a different perspective. If not, I just hope you will consciously give yourself the choice to explore atleast one of these soon.

Enjoy….

I keenly look forward to your comments and suggestions.
