LIVING LIFE



I tweeted it on 4th March. I think I need to change my mind now as I was reading a book on sales. The strategy I am going to follow now is LIVING LIFE. I was not much interested in knowing what's going on in others life. But I would now like to start natural communication with others. I will ask for help. During my workout in the gym, I usually do not seek help in lifiting weights. I will change this behaviour of myself. Asking for help gets the communication flowing. 

I usually do not mention about the gym shoes of the other mates, I would simply ask them where they got their shoes or their gym wear from. They may be wearing a brand of sunglasses you like or driving a car you want to know something about. If you are in a restaurant, you can even admire the dish the person at the table next to you ordered and ask about it. I learnt that more more I am participating in life and taking an interest in other people around me, the more I will meet people.

I will be more interested in others, communicate with everyone, reach out by being seen and making contact. Let me see how soon my pipelines starts filling fill up.

By the way, my current designation with Tata AIA Life Insurance is Life Planner. So, I need to constantly upgrade my sales skills. This is one of first. Will again share my thoughts as I go along as per my tweet.

The Airbag and the Insurance Policy: A Lesson That Still Resonates

Years ago, I attended a training seminar on Life Insurance that left a lasting impression on me. The speaker told a story so simple, yet so powerful, that it changed the way I viewed insurance — not as a product, but as a promise. During the session, someone from the audience raised a question : “Sir, how do I know the insurance company will really pay my claim ? ” It’s a fair question — one that many people silently carry in their minds. After all, if a claim isn’t paid when it’s needed most, what’s the point of having insurance? Until that moment arrives, paying premiums can easily feel like a waste of money. The trainer smiled and said, “I understand your concern. Let me explain it in a way that might make sense to you. Do you drive a car? Or have you ever sat in one? Every car comes with an airbag .” He paused, letting everyone lean in. “When was the last time you tested your airbag?” Of course, no one had. The only way to test an airbag is to crash your car — and no...

When the Universe Opens a Door — Walk Through It

In life, we often find ourselves waiting—for opportunities, for recognition, for that one moment when everything will fall into place. But what we don’t always realize is that opportunity rarely knocks twice , and when it does, it doesn’t wait around forever. Let me share a moment from my own journey that taught me this the hard way. The High of Recognition It was 2014. I was 30 years old and had the rare chance to work directly with one of the most senior bureaucrats in the state government. We were organizing a premier, high-profile event. It demanded precision, coordination, long hours—and a whole lot of ownership. I was fully immersed—managing teams, anticipating challenges, and supporting my boss every step of the way. The event was a success. And once it wrapped up, I felt a strong sense of pride, not just for myself but for the team. What happened next felt like validation. Two mid-level officers who had seen me in action came up to me. They said: “We need young profess...

Kaalidhar Laapata: A Soulful Simple Film

In a world obsessed with speed and spectacle,  Kaalidhar Laapata  offers something far more rare— stillness . Featuring a beautifully subdued Abhishek Bachchan in the lead role, it quietly nudges us toward some of life’s biggest questions—about aging, abandonment, hope, and the strange miracle of companionship. However, after watching the movie, I came to know that this heartfelt film, directed by Madhumita is a hindi remake of the original Tamil film  K.D. The story follows Kaalidhar (who during his life's journey is renamed “KD”), a weary middle-aged man grappling with memory loss and abandonment. After discovering that his own family is planning to leave him behind during a pilgrimage, he escapes and meets Ballu—a feisty and lovable 8-year-old orphan,   and the two embark on a spontaneous road journey to fulfill KD’s long-forgotten bucket list. What begins as an escape becomes a path to rediscovery—for both of them.   What follows is a heartfelt road jou...
