On consciousness being a higher/different dimension

Makes a lot of sense. Existence of dimensions depending completely on Our understanding and perception. From 0 dimensions to 3 /4 so on and so forth... It is our understanding and comprehension about complex matter that guides our everyday lives.
Then knowledge or awareness of consciousness in itself adds another layer existence and being.

With the advent of artificial intelligence what we are doing is breaking thinking and imagination down into simple to complex algorithms and pattern recognition mechanism so as to understand this dimension of existence. It is true. A thought is a very ephemeral and abstract and intangible 'thing' and yet it takes form everyday, all over the world, more often than not.

What does Cancer Feel like?

You may come across an article of a person that would try and explain exactly what it feels like facing a terminal disease that takes control of your day to day life, if you haven't had a first hand experience (bless you) yourself.

A very very challenging concept to deal with, psychologically I belive it is a question of your wits and whether you can keep it. 

I was afflicted by Non hodgkins lymphoma when I was about 24 years old working at an advertising agency tirelessly attending to client requirements and a bad habit of smoking cigarettes.

While I was able to deal with cancer within a year, smoking cigarettes took me way longer to stop.

I was given the R-Chop regimen by my oncologist that is 8 chemo therapy Sessions and multiple spinal taps of chemo therapy injected into my spinal tunnel and brain.

It is so surreal to be lying down on your hospital bed looking at faces of your family members, near and far, taking turns to sit by you side, as if it is the last time we shall ever meet. 

Thanks to the marvel that is modern hospitals and medicine, I was able to live through this painfully deadly ordeal that I was almost sure would take me. 

Cancer is unreal. Everything you're doing is on pause postponed indefinitely as if to gauge whether we should contain ue this or not. You're recalculatimg your life rummaging through decision getting things and affairs in order(mentally preparing for the worst) 

Chemotherapy is a whole different strife that drains your will to live, drop by drop. You lose your body and hair, the sense of taste goes away and this feeling of nausea permeates your being, daily will yourself to get up and do the chores you wouldn't think twice about usually. What matters most in such situations is your attitude and that of the people around you to make you want to look forward to a life beyond the visibly bleak horizon that you usually wouldn't or are unable to think about in times like these.

I am very grateful for peole in my life especially family that stuck it out with me and still does. For together, we conquer all odds personal or collective. 

So to put it succinctly, cancer is really really hard and rough both physically and mentally. The only thing that got me through was the people that are close to me.

For this I am forever grateful.

Living With HIV AIDS

One of the biggest battles i have veen fighting a significant portion of my life is living with HIV AIDS. I was acquainted with onowledge of its existence in school before I was told when i was in college that i actually have it. That was the time when i was afflicted with Cytomegalovirus, an opportunistic infection that attacks the human body when the immunity or immune levels are low. It was also the time i lost vision in my right eye.

since then I uave been living a highly regimened life. Governed by medical science , doctoral appointments, blood tests and medicine. Keeping up with a tighltly scheduled medical regimen on the daily has predicted or determined my life.

I have had HIV since i was born as I have been told , through my biological mother that passed away because of the same diagnosis.

i have been aware of its prescence since i was 20 years old and since then my life , priorities and perspective have been radically changed.

i would like to say that all HIV afflicted patients live a normal life but that would be not so accurate in my case.

i battled cancer right after i lost my eye and although I emerged victorious it left its mark ob me.

i have to abide by a medical regimen that my very life depends on very very striclty. Of course being althemore grateful to medical science modern medicine and doctors for practically saving my life, I have to be even more mindful about my responsibility towards my health, both physical and mental. Now more so than ever when my vision decreases still.

If there were a key takeaway or a profound remark to be made here it would be for Me to be open to perspectives as there are a myriad of such nuanced lives that we sometimes non challantlyl bucket under stereotypes in our heads. For every person that lives a life has a narrative waiting to be told, only if you listen.

Making Music

Making music perhaps is one way I spend my time in the most gratifying ways. Although I am not a learned musician but I understand basic notes and how music works in our heads and am able to fiddle around with instulents available at my disposal. I did promise myself to learn the basic chords of a guitar and start by learning ”Shake It Off” by Taylor Swift that i am (very) slow.

Of Course, following such learned musicians online on social media gices you a sense of purpose and inspiration, and there is a lot of inspiration available online with some really highly skilled musicians and artists and poets available online to find inspiration, i find myself often riveted to make music myself and make music I did.


Under the moniker Radicle(that which i had to later change due to technicalities in language hindi that created trouble) i started making lusic online that is publically available. on Arcade Music on Youtube and on my own Personal Youtube.

Internet & Marketing As A Profession

I love The Internet. It is one of those elements that broadens opportunity and horizons in your life. It is a realm of possibilities where event take place on a local as well as global scale. A treasure trove of knowledge, information and learning that just seems to grow bigger much like our expanding universe. 
A plac
I was hooked onto Social Media first when platforms like Orkut, Ning and Facebook were introduced into our daily lives. After endlessly fiddling with my Microsoft XP pc gaining core knowledge on how computers work . One cold reboot after another and installing and uninstalling multiple device drivers I had found a new way to get my kicks. The Internet. I had never known a world as big as this. All the encyclopaedias, Dictionaries, course books and other wise fit into an 800*699 pix resolution monitor screen. 

It is very exciting still. In fact the Internet just gets better and better as time passes and more people join online is a community in itself that contribute to the very rich tapestry of online knowledge and information.  I love talking about it. As do we. 
As I did propose to Meta AI in chat a while ago that all we do is speak of the unfolding universe, The Big Bang as we all know it , the ever continuing sequence of events since the biggest known event in human history and all that came after.  How you see it is a whole another thing. And this is why I like Marketing and advertising as It finds ways to convince people that life is beautiful and each moment worth living, In more ways than one over and over again.

Testing Your Limits

I recently found reflecting upon myself and life since last 6 years till now especially in the light of physical capabilities and how I found myself pushing my limits with the same. 

Much to my surprise I found myself testing and pushing my limits again and again at the gym I work out at. I realised that I didn't know what my body is capable of until I put it to the test on the floor, I had been highly underestimating myself for almost all my life. 

I have been working out for one and a half years now. I turns out to be more addictive than what I thought. What I found to be more wonderful is me achieving targets and setting benchmarks for myself much higher than what I thought was possible. I do at least 10 miles or cardio everyday doing 20000(My highest is 50000) + steps burning more than 2000 kcal besides lifting heavy weights. 

all of this I realised, would not have been possible if I did not push the boundaries of what I thought is possible. I do admit I took a lot of perseverance, a lot of sweat, a lot of negotiating with myself and a lot of discipline to do so as well to find out what my body is capable of doin till the point I found myself doing so. It made me feel all the more better and confident about myself after I realised that I can. 

You will not find out until you test your limits.
