My 8Ps of Happiness in 2022!

Being a person in branding and marketing, I typically think in Ps. So it's no different when it comes to happiness. I think there are 8Ps that lead to happiness and I intend to follow them this year.

1. Pray: I think it's a no brainer that the more advanced we are getting as a civilization, the more out of control we seem to be getting. So the only force we can rely on is the almighty. He will guide and protect us. I want to be thankful for His divine grace.

2. Physique: The body is the home we have on this earth. For too long, i have taken it for granted. It's high time I start taking good care of it. Follow some exercise and live a healthy life.

3. Passion: The COVID has taught us that life is full of uncertainties. I want to live every moment from now on with passion. And do things that I enjoy doing, as much as I can.

4. Purpose: This year, I want to focus on finding my Ikigai seriously and try to look for divine guidance to live on that path

5. People: The people in our lives are so important. Some give us happiness and others a lesson. I want to try and learn something from everyone around me. As everyone we meet has something to teach us.

6. Possession: I want to try and adapt to a minimalist lifestyle. Focus less on consumption and more on contribution to the planet and the communities I am part of. Focus on possessions that will stay with me till the end.

7. Places: There are so many beautiful places on this planet. I want to travel more and see more places starting this year. So that I am closer to nature and enjoy being close to the creations of mother earth.

8. Positivity: Last but not the least. I want to try and focus on the positive in every situation. Be a carrier of the posivity virus that spreads around freely.

I know I may not achieve everything on the list. But I want to consciously try and get better at following the 8Ps so that eventually with passing time, I'm able to find my Ikigai and live a more fulfilling and rich life as time goes by.

Broken

I feel like the kite that was flying high in the sky And suddenly the thread broke somewhere somehow And the drifting and dancing with the cool breeze started And then slowly the gravity took over dragging down and down and down The children of the area were too busy to run after me Probably attending some class for their future The onlookers didn't give me a second look Now I'm stuck on a branch of tree High up from the battles but not high enough for the breeze to push me again and again I am tied to the tree It talks to me about being grounded About the greatness in being rooted I don't understand it Because I have only flown all my life Never been tied to a tree I have only longed for the blue sky all my life Have only heard cheering when I flew high Now the rain gets me wet and soggy And the sun makes me brittle I wish the tree knew the joy of flying Wish I could convince it the beauty seen from high up in the sky The feeling of racing the birds hi...

Can the exhibition industry go virtual?

Exhibitions and stalls are an integral part of direct marketing in almost every industry. But can these exhibitions go virtual? The stalls could be virtually created and virtual meetings fixed from the comfort of one's own location. Imagine the amount of time that can be saved in travelling, planning logistics, managing hotel reservations etc. And ofcourse the cost. Imagine if virtual reality was able to give you the same feel as you get when you are inside an exhibition! You look around and be part of the traffic just as you are in real world.... Imagine animation, 3D and other graphics can add life to your stall. Just like an animation film, if  you are able to create a virtual reality.... If today you are able to attend eight meetings a day, may be you could attend twelve then as you will save the time of commuting physically from one room to another. Can it happen in the near future? I feel it can! Would love to know your views. ---------------- The views expressed are m...

The power of hope

In my view, the gift of hope is the greatest gift mankind has with it. Every achievement no matter how small starts with this ability of ours - hope. And from hope arises the second gift we have - trust It's a combination of hope and trust that actually runs this world. When we get into a plane and are flying in the air with no safety net whatsoever, hope that we will be safe and the trust that a few of our species namely the engineers and pilots and even the person filling the fuel in the aircraft have done their best. We trust their ability to take care of us. The pilots do the same with pharmacists who design pills that we eat without thinking if we will be alive. Because we hope that we will get well and we trust our fellow humans. Name a profession, and we are bound by an unseen contract of hope and trust with humanity. The army, the farmers, the barbers, the bakers, the teachers, the nurses....the list is endless but yet the hope and trust is what we really buy in return for ...
