Book Cover   This is not a book review, I want to share what I learned from the book Goat Days  written by Benyamin . I was not interested in novels or stories. Novels had a bad vibe when I was a kid. I have heard elders saying that if you read novels, you will fail in life, they were talking about the weekly magazine novels. Somehow "novel equals failure" got recorded in my mind. So I would mostly concentrate on non fictions.  I came across the book Goat Days "Aadujeevitham" back in 2013, when one of my friend brought it to our room. He told me it is a true story of  life of  a man named Najeeb Muhammed,  emigrant gone to work in Saudi Arabia. Najeeb's dream was to work in the Persian Gulf states and earn enough money to send back home. But, life took a U-turn when he reached Saudi Arabia, he was forced into salve labor by a brutal master  and  the story goes by a series of incidents into a slave like existence herding goats i...

I am not a fortune teller This blog would be a part II of my recent post Artificial Intelligence : Our future , my thoughts are going into every subjects and I want to organize my thoughts into writing so that I could figure it out what am I actually thinking. The following predictions could happen in next 30 to 50 years or even early. These predictions maybe too dreamy and unrealistic, however my question is what is really realistic about life we have now, we have cars that don't need drivers, robots that are deployed in moon and mars that are controlled from earth. Humans around the world fly. These are the things that were unrealistic hundred years ago. So let me get to the topic, and I want to inform you that I am not a fortune teller, and the content I share here may or may not happen in the future. The following are a few of my thoughts on how our future will shape. I am expecting even more incredible future in the next 50 years. 1. Universal Basic Income    ...

Preface                                     What you would read is my experience talking to an unknown girl for the first time. I think it is worth sharing. This is a story I shared to few and this was really funny to them. The incident happened was real. I always remember that day. I don't know why but I remember it so well.  Beginning  The weekend is here, I need to get back to the 9th floor office pantry. I work in night shifts all weekdays, I sleep till 7:00 pm even on weekends. I don't want to sleep on weekends at night because it will mess up my next week plans.                  The office pantry is my hideout for the weekend. I don't want to stay with my friends in the apartment. We don't share the same values. We are different. So I have to make this sacrifice. All my weekends I will be here. I don't have much friends in th...

                 As usual my 3:30 am alarm rank, I picked it up and started checking my messages and then I though, It's Sunday. Let me give myself a break. I have been pushing harder and harder everyday to get things done.                     So I thought let me give myself a treat today, on the other end my brain says don't do it! I may fall back to the old routine. It's been more than a month since I gave myself a good sleep. So I thought even if I fall back, I will keep up with my routine in waking up early.                      I slowly started thinking about how this day should be. Plan for the day, and slowly I started drifting to a sleep. I recently learned about lucid dreaming and steps to lucid dream, but once I fall asleep, I am on a journey to an unknown world without the the control of thoughts or actio...

                          Openness one of the five traits of Big 5 personality model or Five Factor Model . I would say I am an average in openness maybe 45% to 65%. Openness is  openness to experience.  Most entrepreneurs are high in openness, it's a great quality to have. That's how they are bombarded with ideas, they talk to people, they brainstorm new concepts and then take action.  I have a desire to do something by myself just like any other person. So I was on a quest to be more open to ideas, be more better communicator, try out new things to get some insights or inspiration.                      Year 2018 - I have been hearing about this app named "Tinder", love stories of people,  how easy it is to use, how to find your love, experiences of celebrities. I though to my self "I am 26 years old, never had a girlfriend, this would...
