SHARING VULNERABILITY BUILDS BRIDGES

SHARING VULNERABILITY BUILDS BRIDGES A childhood friend and I spent a couple of hours together yesterday. I felt the urge to write this note triggered by a moment of vulnerability we shared. Vignesh (name not changed and used with his permission) and I came together in Grade V, when we were about 10 years old. We joined school together, our apartments were next door to each other, he too was the youngest of three sons and we both shared the traits of natural exuberance and openness. Further, Viggi, as we all called him, sang wonderfully and I was a bit of an actor/performer…and so not surprisingly, we became the best of friends.   For four years we were inseparable and spent a lot of time outside school in each other’s homes. Our school, set in the idyllic Kalakshetra School of Art and Dance campus had a laid back air where all around development of the student was nurtured amidst trees and beach sands. Suffice to say, academic rigor was not emphasized. Th...

3 fundamental questions to ask ourselves - Tony Robbins (ala Head, Hearts and Hands)

Interesting 3 questions.....to design our lives....A variant on head, heart and hands.  Life in an Instant By Tony Robbins In all the years I've worked with people, I've found there are three key decisions we make every moment of our lives.

That determine whether you feel rich or poor in any given moment? The first one is: Decision 1: What Are You Going to Focus On? In every moment of our lives, there are millions of things we could focus on. We can focus on the things that are happening right here, right now, or on what we want t...

3. 51/49 not 50/50 - (Bangkok, Banaras, Bihar)

3. LEAD AND FOLLOW – THE BALANCE OF RELATIONSHIPS My dear friends Divya and Shantanu got engaged in a simple and beautiful ceremony at the Bihar School of Yoga. They have been my fellow travelers for the past four years and it was very special for me to be there for this lovely event. Sw. Nirajan spoke briefly about relationships. One point struck home – Successful relationships are not those where there is “50/50 but rather when there is 51/49.”  A 50/50 relationship might lead to two strong egos clashing. Instead, for different areas, it is best that one leads while the other follows. Obviously, the lead has to change depending upon the circumstances. This sounds fairly intuitive, but there was something in this simple point that resonated with me. Later on as I thought more about this point, I realized that a ballroom dance is a great metaphor for a relationship. Both partners have to be individually expressive yet be in sync and one person has to indee...
