Hat talks with Ach

We hear but dont listen. We look but dont see.We listen to doctors, or google ailments or issues, we depend on popping pills and some physio treatment BUT do we ever listen to the body ?? When light aches that are persistent speak out are we conscious. Do we try figuring out the causation rather than heading for the temporary cure ??If we only listened to the body speak and then used some common sense and applied it, many niggles would disappear and one would be more comfortable. Dont be in denial - you are the best judge of your body nobody else.

More often than not it is human nature to get complacent especially when their functions, responsibilities and duties are routine and monotonous. This complacency gives a false sense of confidence and bravado leading to errors, near misses and accidents. many lead to disasters. It is important to recognise the signs and accept while working on it rather than dismissing something so important . In this episode,I narrate my experiences and thoughts on the subject #complacency #overconfidence #cockiness #bravado #dangers #disasters #near misses #accidents #navigation #accounting #second officer #lapses #oil tankers #shoal #pilots #trust #

There are several who come up with an idea and want to start a company and become entrepreneurs as it seems like a simple route to recognition, wealth and achievement. The reality is different when business cycles, finances, dealing with humans and collection of monies owed come into play. I share my personal thoughts on the subject after running 4 companies and 25 years of entrepreneurship.#entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #fire in the belly #ideator #authority #teambuilder #accountability #responsibility #finances #restlessness #professional #stagnation #confidence #belief #belief in yourself #artist of your canvas #creative #out of the box thinker #

In our daily lives and rat races, how often do we pause, reflect, purge and re-set our minds. Consistently preoccupied with tomorrow we are continuously engaging our brains. Never giving it rest. If your physical self needs a holiday so does the brain and mind. I discovered the two exercises narrated in this episode very purgative, recuperative and restorative.#meditation #introspection #Recharging the mind #Vipaasana #silence #Maun vrath #Purgative #mind health #balance # cleansing #mind cleansing #peace of mind

The patient is also a customer. Doctors visits in the present day are often more stressful, not only because doctors have lost the personal touch of disarming and getting the patient to relax, but also due to the lack of the old diagnostic skills that were once the cornerstone of General practise. Then more often than not there is the long list of tests to oil the working of laboratories and to ensure the use of equipment. Have modern doctors become more Machine dependent ??

Life of which we have one, can be both uncertain, and cruel. How does one cope with the events that shake the foundations of comfort that have been built. How do we manage and conquer associated depression. Dr Rao shares his story with a relevant message to listeners.#Life #lessonsfromlife #depression #stroke # paralysis #

We enter relationships, spend years, while we evolve and change, yet while fail to recognise and accept that we continue to endure considering the investment of time, and other facts. We overlook the fact that we have one life and a chance to accept that the relationship may have expired and by exiting we might just make 2 people happier.

The Life Series are about listeners with interesting stories to share. They would be messages from those having played an eventful innings called life, about their recoveries from tragedies and calamities that struck them, who have conquered struggles. These messages are for those of us who may look for examples, inspiration or determination in life and see them in the guests on the show.#podcast #inspiration #seniorlife #determination #author #playwright #example #​⁠ #conversations

In this episode I explore the tendency in daily life to overthink and make assumptions about people, situations, and knowledge. I urge listeners to stop over-analysing and to question these familiar patterns, especially in interactions with friends, family, and colleagues.#psychology #betterlife #themind #relationships #mentalhealth #peace

What happened to the systems of yore when the traffic department invited school kids to traffic parks to get a hands on idea of rules and driving etiquette ?? Whose responsibility then is the poor driving sense and etiquette on the roads assigned to ?? RTOs around the country who never adapted and improved on the sound systems that existed and were available in the past are surely the first ones that come to mind. Lack of enforcement by traffic and highway police are other reasons. Leaders who feel rules are not for them whether on the road or in companies. They forget that leading by example leaves a lasting impression#leadership #enforcement #beinganexample #goodexample #rules #badexample #newpodcast #

Why does one travel on holiday ?? Is it to be ourselves and subject those we meet to tolerate us or .. is it to discover the wonderment of new places and people and as ambassadors of our country help them appreciate us ?? Today it seems more like letting others know who we are in our avatars rather than trying to discover the countries, people, food and cultures where we visit. Wealth can’t offer that as one has to interact, experience and enjoy people and cultures and while learning about others we educate about ourselves. We need to be ambassadors of travel or TRAVELBASSADORS.. #travel #food #international #friendships #hattalkswithach #education #courtesy

In the Sine curve of life, on the way down the curve, as we become less active, lose drive or retire, we begin to lose relevance for many near and dear around us and at times feel lonely and become shadows of our past selves. Learn to recognise the signs and take steps while not despairing.Listen on to think differntly.#life #motivation #abandoned #lonely #

When you fall into a rapid river do you grab the first piece of driftwood or flotsam that comes your way to survive OR do you let it pass waiting for something bigger that may never come your way ?? So it is in life, that opportunities pop up (few and far between) and I’d I say grab them for they may lead to the flood #newpodcastalert #motivation #opportunities #freethinkers #mariner #

Continuation of Writing Right and Consumer activism. Don’t let them get away, speak calmly, write clearly but ACT you must. You have a right for both products and services that we pay for.

The general feeling is that the Government does not listen. My experience is different because sitting at a desk I have raised issue online or on mail (or by letter in the past) and 90% of the time they are responded to and action of some sort taken. Those who say nothing happens, in general lack belief and therefore take the easy way out by blaming inaction when in reality they have never registered a complaint in writing.

The emerging Oneness - Are we suppressing the personality and Individuality within ??
