Quincy Jones: 12 Notes on life and creativity

Another precious audiobook that I am listening to currently. Quincy Jones in many ways is the creator of modern pop sound through his work with Michael Jackson! I was initiated into this mesmerising world of unbelievably nuanced and at the same time impactful music when I held the audio cassette of ‘Bad’ in my hand!

This was written in 2009! Lately, the realization that I wouldn’t want to arrive at the end of my life and find nothing worth mentioning in the entire episode that would have just breezed past! Never too late to cultivate and nurture what one had loved to do as a child and left behind in

AlphaGo: Hook, Line and Sinker!

Rick Rubin’s ‘The Creative Act: A Way of Being’ was instrumental in AlphaGo coming into my horizon and I have mentioned this before, while consuming content on creativity or for that matter any content, the messages and informations communicated in between the main content form this beautiful layer or web of information that can trigger

Random Browsing your way to creativity!

Random browsing is the term I started to use some months back to describe this unintentional browsing of YouTube that throws up surprises that you never expected! Serendipity shows up many a times(pun intended!), when you stumble upon something that you were thinking about at some other times(usually in past!) and get shocked out of

Morning routine: Add magic to your life!

I understand, the first spontaneous reaction to such titles remains as cliche’ as such articles typically are,” Here comes another one, self help guru, snobbish know all type…..” No, I am not writing this as a person who has tried it all and mixed and mastered this wonderful formulae of life etc… No, I am
