Two lines that capture my philosophy

These lines from Ghalib truly summarize my life's philosophy

These lines from Ghalib’s poetry resonate deeply with me, encapsulating the essence of my life. I believe we contain multitudes; we are a rich tapestry woven from moments and emotions. I have ventured into every corner of my being, exploring diverse passions and interests. From writing fiction and non-fiction to drawing, music, and movies, I have dabbled in them all.

Mirza Ghalib

हज़ारों ख़्वाहिशें ऐसी कि हर ख़्वाहिश पे दम निकले |

बहुत निकले मिरे अरमान लेकिन फिर भी कम निकले ||

Desires in the thousands I had, for each I would die

With many I had luck, for many I would sigh

mohabbat meñ nahīñ hai farq jiine aur marne kā

usī ko dekh kar jiite haiñ jis kāfir pe dam nikle

मोहब्बत में नहीं है फ़र्क़ जीने और मरने का |

उसी को देख कर जीते हैं जिस काफ़िर पे दम निकले ||

In love, there’s no difference between living and dying;

We live by gazing at the one we would die for

Thousands of desires, each one worth dying for,
Many fulfilled, yet so much more I yearn for.

I love to travel and capture the world through photography. In the same breath, I can say I am deeply passionate about my professional field. I have explored all aspects of Human Resources, witnessing its evolution from Personnel Management to Talent Management and Learning in the age of AI.

I love each one of these as much as the other.

Being in love with music, travel, and poetry intertwines beautifully with my passion for talent management, technology, and AI. Each of these elements resonates with the rhythms of creativity and innovation. Music evokes deep emotions, travel broadens perspectives, and poetry captures the essence of the human experience, all of which can enhance our understanding of talent and leadership in today’s dynamic environments. Likewise, exploring advancements in technology and AI offers insights into how we can harness these artistic expressions to foster collaboration and inspire new ideas. Ultimately, the interplay between these passions reveals a profound connection: they all contribute to the tapestry of human expression and the evolving landscape of our world.
