There are times when we think and think and think to the maximum of our brain’s capacity. That’s right, we sometimes exhaust our brain by thinking too much while trying to make decisions in life.    As the famous Buddhist saying goes” be like an empty cup, free from all confusions and thoughts. Only then you will give way to new beginnings”.  We must spare our mind the burden of overthinking. Overthinking is just as same as being in a comfort zone. It is a place where you can stay forever but it will not let you go anywhere. It makes you like Dormamu and Dr.Strange, stuck in an eternal loop of thinking. I was once a victim of overthinking too. It made me get stuck for weeks thinking through a decision I had to make. But unlike everyone I had a little help.  It was my grandma, the angel who lighted up my path which I follow even today. It was such an eye-opening revelation that has been helping me in every situation. So, I decided to share it with you too. I was 23 years old when my grandma taught me the concept of “Don’t Think”. I was struggling to make the most important decision of my life. I couldn’t make any progress because of the situation as I was too involved in trying to figure out what to do. My grandma who was living adjacent to my house decided to pay a visit. She saw me in a state of chaos, so she decided to step up and make the decision on my behalf. Within just two minutes she came to a conclusion and made her decision which I was struggling with for almost two weeks.  I was amazed how quick she solved such a complex process. When I asked her, she said it was a simple tool called “Don’t Think”. Educated people complicate things so much thinking we know a lot. As a result, we forget that even complex problems have simple solutions. My grandma was a package of brilliance covered by a village breeze. Not only my grandma but I was born and raised as a villager too. We forget that our villages have a simple cure to even the deadliest diseases in the world. And their lifestyle and thinking gives us the key to unlock great achievements. One such key was given to me by my grandma which is “Don’t Think”. From that day onwards every decision I made was successful. It helped me start a non-profit organisation named IndiaTeam.org along with my friends. Second, I started the community radio at Stanford called Saaral in the year 2003. I worked and lived in US for 15 years as a software engineer. Then too I had to make the difficult decision of returning to India. However, I still had the key my grandma gave me when I was 23 so I came back to India and commenced TICKETGOOSE.COM which quickly crossed to do a 100 core GMV in the year 2007.  And then a series of events like setting up a Digital Village and becoming a public speaker to writing y own book my grandma’s advice was a golden key which opened many successful doors in my life. The life of a villager can be divided into three CleanBuildDo Clean: Cleanliness is not just for the body but also for our inner selves. It doesn’t require you to travel to meditation centres all it takes is a little gratitude for oneself and the nature around. Wake up early so that you accompany the sun while it rises. In that way you rise along with the star. Go out for a walk and inhale the fresh air which is a gift not many of us work to receive.  Observe the music of the new day and how nature thanks for another beginning by her song through birds and trees. You can also add your own music to it like our villagers who sing while working. Having done these you are 60% villager now. The circle: Eat and burn more, read and write more, share and help more. Whatever we say about people it all comes down to one planet one home and one family. The world is nothing but a giant ball floating in space and we are living on it. Isn’t that enough to make us one big family? There is always someone in need of your help. Like John Masefield’s poem goes “Laugh and be merry together, like brothers akin,Guesting awhile in the rooms of a beautiful inn,Glad till the dancing stops, and the lilt of the music ends.” We are all temporary stayers in a beautiful place. Celebrate it like a new-born and enjoy it like a poem. I DO! Knowledge and talent without action is like biryani without salt. So, get up and do what you wanted to do. Practise if you think you require more skill and don’t forget to think like a villager. That’s how we have Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Karthi Easwaramoorthy. Let’s all practise “Don’t Think! Be a Villager!” Let us start our journey together to understand the life of a villager! Learn the habits of a villager! Experience the life of our villages. Thank you for the journey with me

What is your daily routine?  Is it the same every day?  For most of us our days don’t go as we have planned. Or at times we may get sulky after a day or two carrying out routines. However, schedules and routines help in keeping us organised and focused without the burden of hustle.            Here how I spend a day in my life and the secrets to self-care despite the busy life.  Typically, everybody’s day has four divisions just like the chambers of our heart.  Personal life: The first one is personal life. Put your personal life first at the start of each day and you have already taken care of the 50%.  Our body is the vessel that helps us in this life. It endures so much throughout our lives. Hence it is our duty to put it first under all circumstances.  Our bodies have self-healing properties thus it does not ask much from us other than a little care.  Wake up early and breathe in the fresh air by going for a walk. Meditate for a few minutes.  Now meditation doesn’t require you to sit and sit and realise the meaning of existence. Rather it is a simple way to empty out everything that sets you back.  Conscious breathing is one of the ways. All you have to do is simply observe your breathing and thank your body, it has gone through so much for you. Secondly personal hygiene like showering everyday and dressing appropriately. Finally, your diet. Eat healthy and balanced by avoiding ready made food items. Eat to the required quantity and not more or less than that.  In summary: Getup early Go for a walk Observer closely Brush, bath and watch your dress Eat less. Social Life:             We live in a closely knit environment with millions of people around us every day. There is someone or another in need of your help out there. We don’t have to take the complete responsibility of taking care of everyone. The least we can do is help just one person each day around our locality or community we live in. It not only changes their lives but ours too. We don’t have to be famous or great to be a leader. A small random act of kindness each day will make you a leader. Great leaders like Barack Obama and politicians like Kejriwal were initially community leaders who then rose to become leaders of a nation. The second thing is knowing what is happening around us. Read more and gather information every day. You can only set out to people if you have the knowledge of what is happening around. Stay humble and kind and one day you shall become a great leader too. In summary: Read more Write few Share enough Help a person a day. Professional Life.           All of us are the children of the world so accept it or not we have to have a living to survive. That doesn’t mean you have to go chasing glitzy stuffs and work all your life without a purpose. Find your passion, develop your skills in the field and stand out from the crowd. The first rule to becoming skilful is practise. Practise a new skill every week. Learn new things in your industry every day. Practise pays off like miracle. To understand the value of practise, keep a record of your works from the beginning and compare it to the ones you have created after long time practise. You will see the journey from amateur to professional obviously. Such is the power of practise.   In summary: Practice! Practice!! Practice!!! Family Life:       Last but not least family. Family is the only support system that stays by you side always.  There is no better therapy than going back to a family that is anticipating your arrival to help you, support you and share your concerns and happiness. Spend time with your family as much as you can. Eat together and play with your kids as much as possible. No matter what you think of at the start of the day family is the only force that thinks of you at the end of the day.  I would like to conclude this article by stressing key 5 habits everyone must follow to become highly effective are Get up early Go for a walk Eat less Read more Help a person a day.
