Resolutions- my personal take

 I’ve never really been someone who sets New Year resolutions.

Or maybe I have — just never consciously, or seriously enough to label them as such.


When I look back, I don’t really see myself making a clear resolution and then following it through. Not just for New Year, but in general.

And yet, I also realise something interesting — I have shown consistency in certain things, even without formally deciding to.

Maybe I just called them something else.

And maybe that’s the point.

Most of the changes I’ve made in my life didn’t begin on a special day, or with a grand declaration, or even with a “from tomorrow onwards” mindset.

They just began quietly.

Which makes me believe that not everything needs a date, a muhurat, or a perfect starting moment.

Over time, when there is even a little consistency, things slowly fall into place.

Looking back, whenever I truly managed to follow through on something — whether personal or professional — it happened only when I mentally decided to give it my 100%.

Before that, it was mostly a loop of “I wish I could”, “I should”, “maybe someday”.

The difference was never the calendar.

It was the commitment.

And perhaps that’s my version of a resolution —

not tied to a new year, but to a moment of clarity.

A breezy break

 Well you know it from the title itself, and i had not really thought of the title nor of writing I was asked, how would you describe this, and i just said A breezy break Then thought of describing this experience  We stepped out of the daily hussle for a weekend break. This is a small hill station, we chose to be inside the villa we booked and its a small nice place A little garden plants and trees all around. There are plant and trees just for greenery, plants used for food, and flower plants and so many flowers  The plants here bear so many flowers. The soil is brown and porous. Being monsoon its raining and it rains and rains and only rains with some minor breaks. But the water never tends to accumulate as if Mother earth is like real thirsty and swallows every bit of water that comes over. Alongwith rains is a nice breeze which is gentle and strong, every few minutes or a little more sometimes its gusty and cooler Not to forget the constantly kitkitting sound of cric...

No peace in intended Virakti

I spoke of Virakti yesterday,  https://logicallekh.blogspot.com/2026/01/virakti-in-professional-life.html  but today reminded me how much practice still lies ahead.  In a toxic work culture, detachment itself becomes tiring. “Toxic work culture” is one of the key themes I have been writing about lately. And every other day, my toxic colleagues give me enough masala to write more on this. What I often wonder is — how do people end up placing personal goals above organisational goals, all while appearing to work for the organisation? Some cases are explicit integrity issues. But many toxic people are subtler. They are more like an operational human error risk — a risk that probably doesn’t feature in any theory book yet. Such people weaken organisations quietly. They erode ethics and hollow systems from within, not in one dramatic act, but through daily behaviour. This happens in many ways: New joinees get moulded under their guidance, and their early career years ...
