The Other Side of Moving (and moving on)
When I was going through the finer details of a health insurance policy that I bought a few months back, what caught my eye was the mention of a 30% reduction in the premium amount if I was able to complete 10,000 steps for 270 days in a year. I can proudly say that I…

The Other Side of Goal Setting
The other side of setting goals is something to consider seriously – I have seen people (including myself) getting complacent when they have achieved their objectives. We feel a sense of achievement, we feel safe – even when the target is short of 100%. Which means our shortcomings, limitations, errors, are all tolerated. And we…

The Other Side of Festivities
The balcony of my 5th floor apartment opens up to a huge tree which over the years has been supporting a thriving ecosystem of a variety of birds and other life forms. Early in the morning, its branches offer some much-needed respite to a noisy bunch of parrots who avail a few minutes of rest…

The Other Side of Ethical Dilemmas
In my opinion, there are no such things as “ethical dilemmas” because ethical behavior does not present us with just two choices – either this or that. Being ethical is not that simple – it’s an intertwined mesh of options presented to us with the decisions that we take not falling into the conventional brackets…
