One Question

-

You Could Ask God or the Universe, One Question, 

Imagine this.

You’re standing in front of a doorway, not glowing, not dramatic, nothing like the movie shows, just quietly powerful. The kind of doorway where you know someone on the other side sees you completely. Your past, your mistakes, your unopened potential,your secrets, your pain. your heart in all its tangled contradictions.

And you’re told you can ask one question.

Just one. With a direct answer.

Crystal clear.No riddles.No poetic dodge.No “look within” lecture.

A straight, divine reply. the kind that could rearrange your entire life in a heartbeat

Now pause and think, I am sure you have never thought about one question. 

Whats would you ask the supreme. 

“What is my purpose?”

The universal hunger, to know why we’re here, why we matter, what thread we’re meant to pull in the vast weave of existence.

“Why was I born?”

Not the biology.The reason.The meaning behind arrival.

“Why am I the way I am?”

"Why this temperament?" 

"Why this chaos and strength bundled into one?"

" Why these fears, these intuitions, these inexplicable pulls?"

Then come the quieter questions, the ones people rarely say out loud.

“Did my life make a difference?”

"When will I die ?" 

"How will my loved one be ?" 

“Is my pain shaping something I can’t see yet?”

“Were the people I loved ever truly mine to keep?”

“Have I been forgiven without knowing it?”

And the more you sift, the more you realize how many layers your heart has been storing away.

That’s when the real twist appears.

Somewhere between spiritual curiosity and emotional vulnerability, you begin to recognize something surprising.

You aren’t just searching for an answer. You’re searching for your question.

Because here’s the part most people overlook,

Maybe the real secret isn’t the answer at all.Maybe, it’s the question.

The answer might give closure.

But the question?

That reveals who you are today, and who you’re trying to become.

Your question is a mirror.

It exposes your deepest longing, your hidden ache, your quiet hope. It tells the truth about what your soul is actually wrestling with.

So let’s leave the doorway open for a moment and turn gently inward, If God promised you a clear, unfiltered, no-ambiguity answer to just one question…

what is the question you would dare to ask?

Not the one that sounds wise.

Not the one that feels safe.

The real one. Sit with that.

Because the question you choose just might be the most honest conversation you’ve ever had with yourself.

What Makes a Data Strategy Truly Great

-
In today's world, everyone talks about data being the "new oil," but collecting vast amounts of it isn't enough. What truly sets successful organizations apart is how thoughtfully and strategically they use their data.The idea of a "great data strategy" is changing, driven by amazing strides in AI, higher expectations from businesses, and the constant need to be adaptable. Having guided many organizations through their data and analytics transformations, I've seen firsthand that a successful data strategy isn't just about IT, it needs to become a fundamental part of how the business operates. Here’s what I believe truly defines an exceptional data strategy today. 1. It's About Business First, Not Just Data Too often, organizations kick off their data journey by focusing on technology, picking tools, building data lakes, and setting up pipelines. But in 2025, a truly effective data strategy begins with understanding your business goals. Ask yourse...

A Superhero Without a Cape: My Father

-
When we think of superheroes, our minds often drift to the ones in comic books, flying across the sky, saving lives, fighting villains. But my superhero never wore a cape. He wore a simple kurta or shirt, sometimes crumpled from a long day’s work, and the quiet confidence of a man who carried his entire world on his shoulders without ever asking for applause. My earliest memories of my father aren’t filled with dramatic declarations, they’re full of everyday moments soaked in silent strength. They’re full of  chai,  shared during early mornings, the faint sound of his bicycle bell outside the gate, and the comforting rustle of the newspaper in his hands. I’ve seen him pedal that old bicycle with me tightly clutching onto the back seat, no helmet, no worries, just trust, a freedom I have never felt before. I’ve seen him come home carrying bags heavy with vegetables, from the  sabzi mandi , in those bags, I eagerly waited for some surprize for me, a toffee, my favourit...

The Girl I Once Loved

-
It was a quiet Sunday afternoon when I saw her again, almost twenty years later. For a moment, my heart forgot how to beat. Could it really be her? Time is a strange thing. It slips through your fingers when you’re young and races past you when you’re older. But in that fleeting moment when our eyes met, time did something magical, it stood still. She stood by the edge of the park, sunlight wrapping around her like a familiar shawl. She wore a floral dress, pink shoes peeking beneath the hem, her hair swaying gently in the breeze. Those same warm brown eyes looked at me, still holding that quiet mischief I remembered. But this time, there were soft wrinkles at the corners, streaks of silver in her hair, and a kind of calm in her smile that only life can bring. And yet, to me, she was still the most beautiful girl. We first met in school, back when dreams were scribbled in the margins of notebooks and love meant stealing glances across the classroom. She used to sit two benches ahead of...
