A 40-Minute Reminder: Gratitude, Grounding, and the Grace of Being Human

Image
This morning, a 40-minute power outage in Sharjah, UAE - my home away from home, brought life to a sudden pause. - No Wi-Fi. - No lights. - No background hum of comfort we barely notice - until it disappears. What could have been brushed off as an inconvenience became an unexpected moment of truth. In that stillness, memory walked in. Memories of growing up with power cuts in India. Of lives that adapted without complaint. Of resilience formed not by choice, but by circumstance. And then came the sharper realization - this is still the lived reality for millions across the world today. That awareness didn’t arrive as sympathy. It arrived as accountability.  -  A fact check on entitlement. - A reminder of privilege. -  A mirror held gently but firmly in front of us. We live in a time where access has blurred into assumption. Electricity, water, connectivity, safety, comfort - these are no longer blessings we acknowledge, but expectations we defend. And somewher...

Welcoming 2026: Conscious Leadership, Human Impact, and the Year of Family

Image
  As we stand at the threshold of 2026, reflection feels not only natural but necessary. For me, 2025 has been a year of profound learning - one that reinforced the enduring power of gratitude, resilience, patience, wisdom, and humility . These are not abstract ideals; they are lived experiences. Experiences that have quietly shaped my thinking, my decisions, and my approach to leadership. Alongside this came a deeper awareness of the power of the Universe - how intent, energy, and action align when we operate with consciousness. These learnings have not just shaped who we are becoming as professionals, but more importantly, who we are evolving into as human beings. They remind us that leadership, at its core, is not about authority or titles, but about being conscientious servant leaders - leaders who encompass all, uplift many, and consciously leave no one behind. Redefining Success Beyond Metrics In a world driven by numbers, dashboards, and quarterly outcomes, it is easy to ...

  Mil gayee nazrein meree teree nazaron se jab Yoon laga meri nazrein kuchh meethee ho gayiin Palkon ko bhi ab tujhse aashnaai hai Ke tere aks paakar ab meethee ho gayin Meri rooh ki ab tujhse vaabastagee hai Yoon laga ab saansein meri meethee ho gayin Teri yaadon ki gham se jab hai shanaasaee, To bahte ashk bhi meree meethee ho gayeen Bun liya hai khwaab maine tanhaai mein ab Ke ab sooni raatein bhee meethee ho gayin🌹Nazm🌹 Translation: When my eyes met your eyes, I felt that my sight became sweet.. Even the lashes are now fond of you, That your reflection has made them sweet... My soul is now in love with you, And now it seems my breath has become sweet.. When I got acquainted with the pain of your memories, Even my flowing tears have become sweet.... I have now woven dreams in my solitude, That even the lonely nights have become sweet🌹Nazm🌹 

My Inclusive World – MyMaximus

  “Sustainable mankind is the ask where, We, as humans practice diversity, equity, and inclusion as an integral part of our tapestry called Humanity. Try thinking how it would feel to be in an abyss where you are discriminated against, marginalized, & excluded. Let’s imbibe inclusion as a mantra and not label anyone, they have names! God knows the world needs sustainability in every aspect, especially mankind!” April 2024 marked the beginning of a very memorable and heartwarming journey that was connected to my soul’s purpose on this earth, “Serving Mankind.” I remember meeting a mother, a resilient woman and a visionary, Nahid Mudathir Hassan, who against all odds had fought battles to keep her non-verbal severely autistic son who had turned 18 under her dependent visa because as per the rules of land he had to be out of being a dependent under her visa as soon as he was 18. As she struggled to get these laws changed to keep him under visa as a dependent, her heart took a no...
