Looking forward to… How important is it for you? Taj Mahal Hotel, New Delhi
How many do you know , who have never failed at something in life? Is there anyone at all out there, who hasn’t seen failiure? Anyone who has not regretted a past action or decision? Anyone who’s never said, “If only I could’ve done that better!” Trust me when I say, this is part of the territory which comes with the gift called LIFE. Regret is part and parcel of living, but the real problem begins when we allow that regret to play a continuing role, to persist, to fester, like a bug gnawing at the back of our minds. For as we stride through life, we will be at crossroads, when we may find ourselves performing below our own expectations of excellence,falling short of giving our best shot . Infact there are times when we may find ourselves actually failing at an endeavour. I know that feeling of being a failure… It hurts.. And how… At such times, Remember: this is the only life we have been gifted… And this gift is playing over a long journey of years. There inevitably, will be knocks and falls… Look around you and find inspiration in the lives of others who had greater odds to battle and came out victorious on the other side. We are one among many, who are on this journey. Sometimes soaring, sometimes Stumbling along the way, brushing away the dirt, and getting up to walk again… So… Be kind to yourself Dosst… Give yourself another chance. And give your best shot yet.. Who knows? Someone who had thought of giving up, gets ignited by your comeback .. Alshukran Bandhu.. Alshukran Zindagi.. www.avidminer.com #life #strideon #ashishvidyarthi Mumbai, Maharashtra

This shoot gets me standing in one of the earliest elevators installed in India… And it’s working… Navsari Building
After a “Power of Communication” workshop with Civil Services Officer Trainees at the LBSNAA Mussorie.. Hereabouts we shot my first film “Sardar”.. Now more than ever the need for strong effective communication needed.
Had the privilege to engage with the top notch at PWC.. And what an insightful process it was.
Sharing a snippet of the Work life conversation.
Let’s face it… We get paid to do our work… We don’t get paid for living our passion or to nurture relationships.
We as professionals go about giving our best in the professional arena, for not only are we getting paid for it, there is a possibility that we shall get paid even more, if we produce the results we are expected to produce.
The best is therefore made available to those who pay us for it. And that’s how our “professional” journey continues.. But we also have other wants , that personal life shouts out to us… Through the mouths of our relatives,Parent, spouse, child and the self… These “demands” usually sound very shrill, as they seem to want something , which we feel is already “sold to “, the organisation… Our time and attention.
This pull of the purse and the tug of the heart invariably leads to an unworkabilility in life… Wherein the professional sees plumetting results in each segment of Life…. A burnout.
Let’s now slightly alter the narrative.. How will it be if we can see that our organisation is paying for us to be an energized , invigorated performer.. Not one who is feeling stressed and edgy and therefore a crib filled professional… What if we can see the value of nurturing our life in areas beyond our immediate job responsibility.. Trust me, as I nurture areas of life far removed from my core areas of work… I find a further accomplished professional reporting for work.. The invite is to look beyond work & life balance.. But to begin to look at Life and our accomplishments while we are alive.
Look forward to hearing your thoughts on steps that a working professional can take towards nurturing an accomplishment rich life.. Doesn’t it make business sense too?
Alshukran Bandhu.. Alshukran Zindagi!

All of us operate within a playing field; and each of our playing fields has a perimeter. When we kick the ball out of that boundary, we consider it to have gone out of bounds…and depending on the ‘game’ we’re playing, it could even be a foul!
For the University lecturer, teaching and shaping young minds…For the architect, designing spaces…For a chef, it is about cooking.. For the nurse, caring for the infirm…The accountant it is monies and the accounts of a firm… the list of the defined boundary with slight variables goes on.
Now imagine playing games within a fluid boundary line. Imagine discovering that there are other valid playing fields beyond ours, where others are playing their games… That is perhaps when we realise that our aspirations and abilities need not be defined or confined by the lines we draw around ourselves. That we need not be defined by the ‘envelope’ that we inhabit.
That is when we push the extremities of our playing field, and stretch the lines ‘enveloping’ us and in a way limiting us.
So when I, the ‘Hindi’ film actor, also started to work in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Bangla, Malayalam, and 10 other languages, what I was doing was pushing the extremities of the ‘space’ that defined me. What that did was to open up my playing field, turning it into a larger game…
Now through Avid Miner, for the past few years I am pushing my ‘enveloping’ actor’s cloak further to also include the playing field of a ‘communicator to corporates ’. As one pushes one’s extremities, one also needs to up one’s game. For the larger the field, one’s preparedness over a larger area needs to improve. It means that as our extremities become enlarged, the areas over which we need proficiency grow too.
For me, it is a logical movement of the learning, hungry, inquisitive mind… Pushing the envelope is a re-imagining of our abilities. As we re-imagine what we intend to do, increasing possibilities open up for us. In essence what we’re doing here is creating possibilities for playing new games in vaster arenas.
So let’s keep playing bigger games and stretching the extremities of our playing fields… This exercise will help us remain relevant

Let’s do some role play today.. Let’s play Doctor Doctor.. There has never been a debate on the value of doing anything with precision.. Let’s look at two steps preceding it, that add dimensions to this precision… A method we shall illustrate by playing Doc… Ready Doctor?
Aspects beyond the obvious appear magically, when we invest in taking a deep look at anything we are dealing with.
It’s a whole lot like diagnosis, that medical Doctors are known for.
They look deeper than the narrative given to them by the patients.. They know the difference between the symptoms and the deeper cause.
They spend time delving into aspects to get the right diagnosis, for they know, that is what shall determine the action they shall prescribe.
The next step Doctors take is also wired in very early on in their training… to be in communication with others.
This is not just to share what they have observed (diagnosed) , but also to hear other experts opinions. Anything that can light up a lacuna for them.
Communicating wide allows us to share our perspective with a larger set, such that they are in the loop, while at the same time it allows them to add their perspective to our understanding.. We never know where the gold vein maybe.
And finally ofcourse is the action, the precise one that a doctor takes.. Knowing fully well that in whichever way… A life is at stake.
The Doctor will be known for effectiveness she has, in impacting critical issues.
As we invest ourselves in thinking deep, we increase our expertise to look beyond the obvious.. As we then follow it with communicating with our teams and all concerned, our understanding of the topic is further illuminated by others point of view. This also gives the team a stake in the precise action that shall now follow.
An action which is precise and powerful and for which we take complete Accountability and ownership .
This is my take.. Would love to hear yours.. I am communicating wide… Alshukran Doctor.. Alshukran Zindagi.. #conversations #avidminer #ashishvidyarthi

Being Future ready is the buzz phrase.
Never has it seemed so imminent and ominous as today.
Future in such a construct is an adversary which is hatching plans to ambush us as we reach it.. a minefield with hidden perils, which we, the “Need to have clarity” mammals hate, as it looks so very ambiguous.
Let’s slightly alter the narrative.. Break it down into building blocks, into munchable bites (I love food analogies )
Imagine what we have at hand are a series of todays… Each of these todays is that slightly different from yesterday.. Just as a child, who some time back was sitting on my shoulders, is now visiting on his break from university, Over a period of time the “today” is way different from a distant yesterday.
This didn’t happen overnight.. It happened one day at a time and it needed me to be mindful of the changes, not just rely on images of days before yesterday.
Consider as we are fully observant of each day, participating in it as interested curious beings, looking around and allowing many aspects of today’s conversations to touch us.. The day offers us hints as to what the tomorrow is edging towards.. And as we are immersed and ready to alter each day at a time , a series of such days turns into a future..Ready?
