No doubts should remain. It was brilliant and profound: “…the effect of looking for the harmony in the contradiction…The acceptance of contradiction is in the telling of the story, not the resolution….Harmony is not resolution…it’s much larger than resolution…Resolution is finite, harmony is infinite.”
This was the pinnacle of a conversation several of us were having on LinkedIn. It was just the right ‘clues’ needed on a path of discovery and insight.
It not only adds brilliant dimension to thoughts many of us are pursuing, it (even in it’s rush of time) brilliantly circled back to the beginning of your story. In that sense it resolved the circle to its own harmonic existence.

very powerful and moving indeed!
i’ll watch every movie with a renewed eye from now onwards but what about the ones i’ve already seen.
can we undo those blank viewings now? thats what the onset of a new knowledge does to you i guess!!

The talk was really interesting and reminded me of a presentation at IIMB recently by Prof.Saras Saraswathy on Effectuation “a logic of entrepreneurial expertise, a dynamic and interactive process of creating new artifacts in the world”

You are probably trying too hard to portray the indescribable in words. When the creativity comes from great depths, words become meek and feeble. But when it comes from that source, it will connect with the audience, and that is all that matters. Good objective pointers though. Keep the soulfulness going, and do not fall prey to intellectualization.

If awareness is sound The words are simple And deep And may be that is called Talk/s but at the same time it is good to develop queries And find out answers if possible.

Shekhar,
Can we have this video over youtube? Streaming quality is bad when I am trying to watch it.
Perhaps your popularity.
Another question.
Are you leading a content life ?
