Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

  • Knowledge kills Imagination while Ignorance flames it

    I tend to put down the various thoughts I have in mind as notes to someday write a blog about it. Last week as I was going through the countless number of notes that I had, I found quite a few notes about Knowledge, Ignorance and Imagination. I decided to combine all of them and…

  • Selling – How it works…

    There are many different terminologies that are often used when it comes to explaining sales. Most people who are engaged in sales, tend to talk about lead generation, customer engagement, conversion and so on and so forth. This is an extremely granular view of things. Sales is what happens when you know what to put…

  • Startups Club and What I have learnt during this journey

    I spoke about Startups Club and 5 learnings that I have taken away till now working with the many entrepreneurs who make up Startups Club. Sharing the video of the talk I gave during Seedstars World’s Bangalore Semi-finals. The audio is not particularly high quality and you may have to use a earphone.

  • Infallible Investor

    So last week I was reading this article. I could connect with the trials and tribulations that the lady was put through, only to come out with nothing much of substance at the end of the process. It may sound funny, when you read the article but the truth of the matter is that the…

    For life as we know it, to exist on Earth Earth had to be at the right distance from the sun, warm enough, but not too hot nor too cold. Earth had to have a hot core so that the planet is alive and developing everyday. The core gives earth its magnetic field, which shields…

  • Sensibility, Intuition and Good Judgement

    There is a expression that I simply hate: counter-intuitive. Counter-intuitive implies that something is contrary to intuition, but in most cases people describe things that are counter-sensibility as counter-intuitive. When someone says something is counter-intuitive, I just assume that they have no clue what intuition is. Read my previous blog about ‘Intuition‘ if you wish…

  • Intuition

    Steve Jobs famously said ‘let intuition be your guide’. Most people seem to think that there are people who are just genuinely intuitive and others who are not. What is intuition and where does it come from? Is it some kind of talent? Is there some way to inculcate it? All of us have intuition…

  • Secrets about Sales

    In the startup journey one of the hardest and by far the most critical things is to get sales for the company.  Sales is what finally drives the engine and brings the income that is required to prove that the business being pursued, is worth being pursued.
