Proper Heating is Required.


A few months ago, my parents came to visit us to take care of our baby. While my mother was staying with us, she prepared pure ghee.

A few months later, my parents had shifted back to our native place. My wife and I wished to keep the tradition of making ghee at home.

This is what happened next:

First attempt: We prepared butter and ghee out of full-cream milk, but ghee didn’t turn out as expected. It got burned in very little time, and we had black-colored ghee. 

Second attempt: The result was the same.

Third attempt: no progress in outcome; it was the same outcome as last time.

 

As we know, ladies are intelligent species.

We were about to give up on this, but my wife said, "Sachin, this time let me put more due diligence into the process." Finally, we have had good-quality butter and ghee.

 

During whole this process, we have realised that earlier we did not give required prefect heat to the milk before we sort out cream. Just a few minutes of heating were missing, and the end result was that we did not have good-quality butter and ghee.

This is similar in our lives as well; just a few minutes or hours of grooming on skills will make a huge impact on our growth and expected outcomes. I think it will be more sensible if we reflect on it for a minute and check. Am I really making sure of my growth by putting effort into the required skill? The answer to this question will determine our future course of action and definitely will help us in both personal and professional life.


Thank you.

Cave Visit

Traveling is an essential part of our daily lives. It makes our lives interesting. Today, I am going to share my experience at one of India’s most famous historical heritage sites. It is listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The places are Ellora and Ajanta caves, which are 120 km away from my native place. I have very fond memories of our family trips back then. When I was a child, the reason for visiting a temple near Ellora and Ajanta Caves was that the place was known for the birthplace and Samdhi of Saint Eknath in Paithan. He is a saint in the Vaishnav spiritual lineage. Millions of people seek liberation along the same path.  The world heritage sites of Ajanta and Ellora Caves are nearby, so we never missed the opportunity to visit the caves. The Ellora caves are crafted entirely of black rock. The art in the caves is so amazing that if you look at it, you will be awestruck. One will be surprised by the craftsmanship of the artists. If we wish to replicate some part of art t

You think, you become

What you think you will become I would like to go back to an incident in my life. When I was a child, I always wanted to be a software engineer, and so I finally landed at Infosys, but before landing here, I worked at two other companies. In the 5th grade, with my friend Ganesh, I joined a computer literacy course. In nineties the computers were in boom and still it is. Naturally, as a young child, I got fascinated by computers and their way of working. I spent hours studying and an additional several hours playing computer games. But what I learned during that time still remains in my memory. Those concepts and commands are in my permanent memory.  Even today, when I want to use that knowledge, I don't need to revisit its instructions. I wanted to tell you this story because once you think consciously about any particular thing, your mind starts to create the necessary conditions to make this happen to you, and this is not a small thing. In everyone's life, there is an inciden

Goals can be achieved

I would like to share a personal incident from my life that holds significant meaning for me. When I reflect back on my childhood, there was always a strong desire within me to become a software engineer. This aspiration eventually led me to join Infosys, but prior to that, I had the opportunity to work at two other companies.   During my fifth-grade years, I enrolled in a computer literacy course alongside my friend Ganesh. It was the era of booming computers in the 1990s, and I was naturally captivated by their functionality and workings. I would spend countless hours studying and playing computer games, and surprisingly, the concepts and commands I learned during that time still reside in my memory. To this day, I can recall that knowledge effortlessly whenever the need arises without having to revisit its instructions.   I wanted to share this story because when we consciously set our minds to pursue something, our thoughts begin to shape the necessary conditions to manifest our de
