How Hard Is It to Do Nothing? Harder Than You Think!

To do nothing—how tough can it be? It sounds simple, yet it’s one of the hardest things to pull off.

Somewhere along the way, we started glorifying action. Movement. Hustle. Productivity. Not without reason. But the trouble begins when action takes over everything, leaving no space for stillness, reflection, or pause.

And that’s where the real wound forms—not from doing too little, but from never knowing the damage of doing too much.

Take a moment. Stand. Stare. Breathe. Watch the world go by. Because life isn’t just in the doing, but also in the being.

The Importance of Changing Tracks in Life and Work

There’s always a bit of emotion when you change tracks. A moment of hesitation. A hop, skip, and jump before you commit.

But changing tracks is necessary. Stay too long on one, and you risk becoming a ‘could have been’ story. The world moves, shifts, reinvents—and so must we.

What tracks are you changing?
How long have you been thinking about it?

Richness comes from diversity—of thought, of experience, of action. Stay rich. Keep moving.

Beyond the Road: What the VW Camper Teaches About Staying Relevant

As a talented pair of hands whipped up a fresh cocktail, my eyes wandered to the Volkswagen Camper van, glowing under bright lights.

But this isn’t just a vehicle. It’s a symbol.

First introduced in 1950, it rolled off production lines in 2013, but not before proving its remarkable ability to evolve. It started as a people carrier, then became a parcel transporter, a tourist van, an ambulance, and much more. From the practical to the imaginative, it has done everything possible—and everything conceivable.

To age gracefully, like the VW Camper, means one thing: staying relevant.
And that requires daily reinvention. Self-disruption. A willingness to redraw the finish line—again and again.

It’s not easy. But it’s possible.

Just ask the VW Camper.

Identity. A city’s identity emerges from the people who walk the streets the buildings that line its roads and the wheels that roll on them.
Kolkata is unique, for it is defined by the yellow ‘Ambassador’ taxi. Perhaps the only city in the world that carries a brand that’s well past its prime as though it is currency fresh from the mint.
The Amby was first produced in 1959 modelled on the Morris that was then in production in the UK. Since then, it has had a continuous run with at beat a tuck there and new chip here. Truly incredible, wouldn’t you say for this longevity!
India have evolved. And so have its roads and the wheels that ply on them. The Amby giving way, with grace and elegance to the modern and the monstrous. To the fast and furious.
Kolkata, though is home for the Amby. It seems so interwoven into its existence. Often battered and bruised, but then the Amby seems to hug the minds of its residents much more than it cares to hug the roads of the city!

You can change your shirt, alter the shape of your trouser without a second thought. You could stretch your luck and change the government praying hard that it will result in change.
But to change a part of your identity, is a tad tough.
Very tough. Ask Kolkata!
