Library of Inspiration

Here I will share things that I have learned and that inspire me. This will be available for free to every subscriber.

  • What is Beauty?
    The world invests a lot in “beauty”, specially on the manufacturing of an artificial impression of “beauty” based on skin colors, textures, shapes, body proportions, clothing patterns, etc. This is a multi billion dollar industry. This industry spans from cosmetic products to apparels and clothing to plastic surgeries to even gyms. What you want to… Read more: What is Beauty?
  • Spiritually Sensible Movies
    There are many movies that pretend to be spiritual but end up misguiding people. I wanted to make a collection here of movies that can lead to spiritual understanding to the prepared mind. These are also free and available on Youtube. Remember, these movies have spiritual importance and are not necessarily “good” “feel good” “inspirational”… Read more: Spiritually Sensible Movies
  • Is Life a Jigsaw Puzzle?
    Many gurus tell you that Life is a Jigsaw Puzzle, and your job is to figure out the puzzle and put all pieces into place. All pieces are supposed to fit into neatly to create the overall picture that makes sense in the grand scheme of things. So, try to find out what your life… Read more: Is Life a Jigsaw Puzzle?
  • Tiny Pale Blue Dot
    Hi family, I just made a YouTube video inspired by a book I read for my daughter. You can watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACyEZrus0oY This reminded me of the speech by Carl Sagan that I had read about many years ago. You can watch Carl Sagan’s speech here- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wupToqz1e2g When you think about things in… Read more: Tiny Pale Blue Dot
  • Real Rich
    Too many people are rich but poor. They may have money but don’t have real freedom. Money is the means to an end, not an end to itself. But many of us focus on just collecting it, without even stopping to think what that money was supposed to buy. There are many ways of defining… Read more: Real Rich
  • Life-changing wisdom
    Read them before it’s too late I recently read this story of an old man. When he has young, he prayed to God asking for the power to change the world. He wanted to change the world for the better, wanted to make a positive difference in the world, and wanted to be remembered as… Read more: Life-changing wisdom
  • Schrodinger’s Cat
    In your spiritual path, you’ll reach a point where you realize that you are nothing more than a character on the stage. Many people believe that they “got it” when they reach this phase. They think they have understood. Their spiritual ego swells with pride. But that’s not it.
  • What you can learn from Buddhism?
    A few bullet points here-
  • Good Dream or Bad Dream
    If you’re dreaming, does it even matter what you’re dreaming? The contents of the dream don’t matter. It feels like it matters a lot, of course, as long as you’re in the dream. For you, everything matters: Who will win the election? How much will the price of bitcoin be next year? All matters to… Read more: Good Dream or Bad Dream
  • Who is a good teacher?
    A good teacher is one whose goal is to make himself unnecessary. If you always need the teacher, that’s a bad teacher. If you always need the driving instructor to be in the car, that’s a bad driving instructor. The goal of a teacher should always be to make himself unnecessary, redundant. A true teacher… Read more: Who is a good teacher?
  • WINNING IN REAL LIFE
    Spirituality is not for everyone. The spirituality page will blow your mind, and will make you quit the system rather than win and have fun in the system. The playground is there for you to pretend and play. Spirituality makes you get out of the playground. You don’t need that. What you need is tips… Read more: WINNING IN REAL LIFE
  • Poem 1
    When you have nothing, you are the richest When you have no place to abide, you are Home When you know nothing, you are the wisest When you have nothing to accomplish, you are Done. When you are asleep to the waking life, you are Awake. When you have lost everything, you have gained the… Read more: Poem 1
  • Goal Setting
    Hello everyone, I want to talk about New Year Resolutions today. Yes, it is not a new year celebration time. But every day is the first day for the rest of your life. And there is a reason why I bring it up today. But before that, I want you to watch this Youtube Video.… Read more: Goal Setting
  • A Tribute to Charlie Munger
    (As always in all of my blogs, italics are direct quotes, and non intalics are my own writing) I have had several icons of inspiration in my life so far. During early childhood, Einstein, Newton, etc. used to be my role models. During high school, I was a huge fan of Richard Feynman. Then, during… Read more: A Tribute to Charlie Munger
  • The Razor’s Edge
    Have you seen the movie The Razor’s Edge? I highly recommend it. It’s one of those movies that I liked so much that I read the book after seeing the movie, because I didn’t want to miss a single good line. This has happened a few times, where the movie impressed me so much that… Read more: The Razor’s Edge
  • Experiences of an Intern Doctor
    This essay was written in 2010 while I was an intern doctor in Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital, Nepal and was published in the annual book of the interns at that time (MBBS, 26th Batch). I read it again a week ago, and chuckled at what I had written back then. The core theme of this… Read more: Experiences of an Intern Doctor
  • Thought-provoking Movies
    The holiday season is upon us, and many people’s favorite thing to do during the holidays is to watch movies. It is one of my favorite things to do, as well. My friends know how big a fan I am of watching movies, and keep asking me for movie recommendations. Here, I present you with… Read more: Thought-provoking Movies
  • Why I wrote this Book?
    (Written in 2011, edited in 2023. I have added additional commentaries on certain sections in Italics in parentheses.) I have written a separate chapter in this book about how beautiful this life is. Despite various setbacks I have received in life (believe me, I have had my share although superficially it mayn’t look so) ,… Read more: Why I wrote this Book?
  • How Harvard became Harvard
    In 2018, I joined Harvard Medical School for a fellowship in cancer policy. I was working as a medical oncologist in Civil Service Hospital, Kathmandu at that time and was spending very good quality time with my family, and a very satisfying professional time with my patients who trusted me with their cancer treatment. I… Read more: How Harvard became Harvard
