What sparked my spiritual business journey? You know that feeling when something inside just clicks? That was me, sitting in my cluttered room after a long, soul-draining job shift, with a steaming cup of chai and a restless spirit. That was the spark. I had always felt this inner pull towards helping others—not just with advice, but in a deeper, more aligned way. The “Aha!” moment came when I was casually giving a friend a piece of intuitive guidance. She cried. Not because I made her sad—but because, for the first time, someone saw her. That is when it hit me—this was more than a fluke. I had a ...

Point of celebrating birthdays

Why Celebrate Birthdays? Let’s Talk About It! Originally published on - 03/09/2015 22:33 Revised version - 29/12/2024 - - - Ever wondered why we make such a big fuss about birthdays? From ageing woes to social expectations, this piece uncovers the paradox of birthday celebrations. With witty anecdotes and some hard truths, discover why birthdays might just be overrated—except for the cake, of course! Why do we celebrate birthdays anyway? Last month, I found myself pondering this peculiar tradition. What is so “happy” about a happy birthday? Every year, we are reminded that we are growing older. The wrinkles around our eyes deepen, and let’s face it, our youth is slipping away. Sure, they say age brings wisdom, but don’t we often repeat the same mistakes year after year? For many of us, birthdays also mark a step closer to a life filled with doctor’s appointments and diagnostic tests. Hardly a cheerful milestone, wouldn’t you agree? Should we really be celebrating our “achievements”? Bi...

The introvert me

Excerpt from the Diary of Tushar Mangl Tuesday, June 12, 2007, 10:15 AM This entry delves into the inner turmoil of being an introvert, the challenges of communication, and the writer’s quest for self-understanding amidst societal judgments. "Tell me what's on your mind?" she asked. I replied, "Nothing." "Why do you have to be so introverted?" she shouted, exasperated. "Why do you keep everything inside you? You know what... it kills!" I responded, "It already has." One of the many burdens I carry is my introversion—something I cannot change. How can one alter their very core? This is the paradox of my life. I have always viewed communication as a powerful tool to address countless problems in life. I’ve written extensively about it, received varied feedback on my communication skills, and even garnered praise for my writing. Yet, here I stand, realizing that my introversion has cast a shadow over my future. Introverts struggle to ...

Diary Entry Know Thyself - Socrates 21/08/2006 Knowledge – This is a keyword I aim to present consistently in my writings. I try to enlighten readers through humor, anecdotes, clippings, and other insights. Now, I’m even attempting to draw knowledge out of myself. Here’s a piece of advice for you: gain knowledge.

Reflections of an unquiet mind

Through raw, introspective reflections, he examines his life, recalling his early dislike for writing and his newfound curiosity about literature. Mangl’s candid insights reveal a soul grappling with profound existential questions. 24/08/2006 What should I write today? There are so many feelings I need to discuss and review, but I can’t seem to draw the strength. One fine day, I would like to look back and recall these 19 years of life. I feel like an unlucky person, at least in my own eyes. When I look back, my eyes fill with tears. No, that wasn’t the childhood I deserved. If I have to blame anyone, it’s destiny—filled with misery, sadness, and loneliness. My life feels more like a punishment. Each day I live, I end up wishing for a quick death. The past has never been good, the present holds nothing, and the fut...

The importance of communication and decision-making in families

This diary entry by Tushar Mangl reflects on the communication dynamics within traditional Indian families, comparing them with Western practices. Mangl discusses the lack of open communication, especially between parents and children, in Indian families, which often hinders younger family members' confidence and decision-making skills. He advocates for involving children in family discussions to build stronger bonds, increase understanding, and encourage personal growth. August 8, 2006 In traditional family settings, especially in India, speaking openly, especially against the head of the family, is seen as disrespectful. Any attempt to question or challenge family decisions is often met with disapproval, labeling the speaker as a “batmize” (Hindi term for disrespectful), making open communication even harder. When family members cannot express themselves freely, it creates an environment where effective communication is stifled, limiting personal development. Hierarchical structu...

Ek Mohabat Woh bhi - Poetry by Tushar Mangl

  Ek Mohabat Woh Bhi Jo chah ke bhi keh na sake tum Jo varjit thi, jo namanzoor thi Jo asambhav thi Jiski sharam na keh sake tum kisi ko Na jaan saka  tumhara koi aziz jiske baare mai Ek mohabat woh bhi Woh ashiqi jo dil ki diwaron mai dafn ho gai Nazaren jhuka ke,  Dil ko thukra ke, Ek mohabat woh bhi Jo kabhi bayan na hogi, Jiska na koi wajood, Na koi kahani hogi Bas dil pe zakhm ki ek nishani hogi Ek Mohabat Woh Bhi - Tushar Mangl 

The importance of writing with passion: A practical approach to creative writing

Writing has been an integral part of human history, serving as a means of immortalizing one's thoughts or a source of livelihood. However, regardless of its purpose, writing should always be treated with reverence as it is a vital part of our existence. Creative writing, in particular, should come from the heart. While it can be learned and copied, the essence of creativity lies in writing from the most profound thoughts and sentiments. There are countless ways to channel one's creativity towards writing, but the ultimate goal should be to write from the heart. Writing is not just a job or a business. It is a passion. With passion, one can truly become a good writer. The inner voice that urges someone to write is a guiding force, leading one to explore the significance of writing to their being. Writing has no boundaries and can take us down a road that was set apart for us even before time began. Creative writing is not just an art. It is a devotion and an instinc...

Sunday Musings - CoronaVirus Lockdown

  If we look outside, in the deep horizons of clear skylines, we will see a Nation brought to its knees by a tiny virus, so tiny that it's invisible to our eyes. Next time, we look down upon someone who is poor, or demean someone for lack of his/her education, ostracize someone because of their income, let's remember this moment.  We might grow haughty for our shiny designations and stature in society. We might stand tall for our bank accounts and share capitals, but we should never disregard those we think beneath us. Who might be younger than us, inexperienced or just less privileged than us. For this day reminds us that we might be a Goliath in many forms, nature still can spring up a David on us. Lesson for us today, in those empty streets and a standstill economy is of Humility.  To be Humble is important. To never intoxicate ourselves of whatever we achieved is important. And it's important that we realise that nothing small is insignificant or unimportant...

Why you should pick a job for the right Work Culture

                                           The other day, I read these lines by Shuvam, about how work culture transforms into a company's true identity. It resonated with what I have been saying for a long time now. People pick up jobs for all the wrong reasons whereas they should first look at a company's culture. I recall a few months, someone came to me for a career related advise. The said person had a job offer in hand and wanted to switch. Now if you have been doing this for long, that is handing out advise on any matter whatsoever, you already know the drill. The guy will ramble a little about how its the end of the road at the current organization, then go on about the offer in hand, and subsequently lay down the fears. Mostly, its about validation. Most of the times, the person has already made up his/her mind. They will tell you about the benefits, the timings...
