“The mind is simple — yet it holds a universe inside.
So tell me… what does your universe look like?”

Always On: The Silent Cost of Constant Availability
We live in a world where being reachable feels like responsibility and rest quietly carries guilt. Notifications have replaced natural threats, and our nervous system now stays alert for pings instead of predators. Over time, this constant availability reshapes sleep, patience, focus, and even identity. This piece explores the science behind it, the subtle symptoms we call normal, and how reclaiming boundaries restores rhythm — and ultimately, flow.


Reflecting on 2025: The Birth of Mind Flow
2025 didn’t announce itself as a turning point. It moved quietly, reshaping my thoughts, my patience, and the way I listened to life. This was the year Mind Flow began to take form, not as a sudden idea, but as a natural outcome of years of living, observing, failing, and reflecting. I travelled, wrote, met people, and softened my outlook. Somewhere along the way, I stopped fighting life and started understanding it.


“In the Race to Live Longer, We Forgot the Mind”
We are learning how to slow aging, optimize cells, and extend the life of the body. Supplements are measured, sleep is perfected, and exercise is engineered with precision. Yet the mind that drives every chemical signal often remains unattended. Stress keeps running silently. Meaning stays unresolved. Longevity then becomes longer exposure to the same inner noise. Perhaps living longer begins elsewhere—inside the way the mind lives each day.


Don't Worry - Be Now
Most worries repeat.
The one troubling you today looks very similar to the one you carried yesterday, last year, or even a decade ago. The dates change. The worry stays. What has it changed so far? Worry keeps the mind busy and the body tense, quietly wearing health down over time. Life moves only when action begins. This is an invitation to meet worry differently—by being present, choosing action, and living now.


“Overthinking: The Prison You Built, The Freedom You Forgot.”
Last week, I stood on Gandhi Beach and realised something powerful—places don’t change, mindsets do.
The same sand where I once laughed with friends now held my thoughts about targets and presentations.
That’s when it hit me:
The biggest difference between joy and stress… is what’s happening inside the mind.
And the one thing silently destroying our peace, confidence, health, relationships, and dreams is overthinking.
It doesn’t scream—it whispers.

The Final Picture: The Art of Living With the End in Mind
We live as if we’ll last forever, sweating over trivial fears and chasing someone else’s race. But the truth is simple: everything ends. And that’s not depressing—it’s liberating. When you see the final picture, you stop running in circles and start living with direction. Mind Flow, family, and health become the anchors. Speak truth, love deeply, walk boldly. Because if nothing matters in the end, then right now—absolutely everything does.


Boring is Bliss
Boredom isn’t the dull villain we’ve been taught to fear — it’s the hidden training ground of the mind. In a world drowning in reels, pings, and quick dopamine highs, the ability to sit still has become a rare superpower. From the tortoise to Warren Buffett, greatness has always belonged to the steady, not the restless. Master boredom, and you don’t just escape distraction — you reclaim focus, peace, and the very art of living.


Our Words Shape Us
We speak thousands of words each day, but rarely stop to notice how deeply they shape us. Words aren’t just sound — they reflect our mindset, influence our relationships, and slowly become our identity. Science shows that the phrases we repeat slip into our subconscious, guiding our choices without us realizing. If you want to change your life, start with the words you use. Because life is simply an echo, returning what you send out.

Dopamine is the spark that keeps you moving and reaching for more. It’s what made our ancestors chase wild prey and what now drives us to chase likes, endless scrolling, and bigger thrills.

“Add to Cart: How Your Brain Gets Hijacked Before You Even Know What You Want”
You’re not choosing. You’re being chosen—for a product, a belief, a behavior. From ancient cave paintings to today’s AI-curated feed, marketing has evolved into a mind game, and your brain is the playing field. In this blog, I explore how modern media, social platforms, and even seemingly harmless “limited offers” hijack our psychology. With insights from my recent trip to Meghalaya—where silence sells nothing—I unpack how your mind gets tricked every day.


Who’s in Charge — You or Your Brain?
"Inside my head, it's basically a badly managed startup.
The caveman handles 'immediate needs' (a.k.a. snacks and shouting), the monk runs 'long-term planning' (a.k.a. enlightenment attempts), and the brain itself just tries not to declare bankruptcy every afternoon at 4:07 PM."
