A lot of my work as a Perspective Analyst involves mapping out my interpretation of the unique outlook of the people we work with. This ensures that everyone is on the same page to prevent misunderstandings…before a project is underway. That said, I’ve realized that simply noting my own interpretation is not enough. The next…
God
What is God? It’s the simplest answer possible. God says “I am that I am”. God is in fact is the height of simplicity. We’ve taken the simple to be complex. With concepts, ideals, images, forms, and rituals. These all have their place. But are not the essence. Ranjeeth Thunga penned under name “Sim___? Li__”
Commitment to Simple
A simple life move towards simple. It doesn’t start simple. But it gets there. Let it get there. Don’t let negative perceptions deter you. Don’t let contradictions, hypocrisy, judgment affect you. Simplicity is a commitment. It will get there. You’ll get there. Just stay committed. Ranjeeth Thunga original pen name “Sim___? Li__”
Forming Business Relationships
One of the functions is we hope to enable transactions and facilitate relationships between organizations all around the world. Companies can no longer rely on just their set of connections to grow their business. Smart companies will continue to look for partnerships across the globe, as this is a global economy no matter where we…
The Danger of Immature Perspectives
Many of us have the notion that two minds are better than one. And ten minds are better than two. And a million minds…well, unbeatable right? There’s a lot of truth to this “the more perspectives the better” philosophy. From our life experience, we might have found each person, and their particular perspective, can bring…
Attacking Other Views
When it comes to our cultural norms, our beliefs, and our worldviews, every human being brings to the table a different point-of-view. If that was it, that would be most wonderful. We would be constantly learning, growing and keeping each other in check by sharing our varied experiences. However, the curse on our planet is…
Bringing Wisdom to Indian Business
(I’m a US-Indian binational, having worked and lived in both countries for many years. However, for this article, I am speaking from a decidedly Indian perspective.) Indian businesses, over the last several decades, have become fascinated with the West. From corporate culture to organizational structure, from skill development to models of innovation, almost every business…
Leonardo da Vinci’s Inspiring Resume
(click on link to Business Insider to read his resume) Leonardo da Vinci has arguably the most inspiring resume I’ve ever seen. Why do I feel so? The reason is, he thoroughly, eloquently expresses the value he provides. And that’s it. The standard modern resume focuses on degrees, past achievements, years of experience, job…
Universality of Desire
(article migrated from previous project, Perspective Link) One of the big distinctions I’ve learned over time is that the line separating our perspective from other perspectives is much less stark. It’s still there, but it is much less pronounced. At the end of the day, we are all far more similar than different. And at…
We are Live
(article migrated and adapted from one of my earlier sites, InternalDepth.com) Our mission is to build a viable organization on the basis of self-awareness. According to the Dalai Lama, and what I believe, such a combination is most needed for the challenges of today and tomorrow. Our primary offering is content that helps you live a life of…

We formed a team around the challenge of “Brain Health”. Our team consisted of insightful and sincere minds Vivek Kiran Ballakur, Rahul Raj, Ujwala Nune, Manjusha…
Dalai Lama’s Message to India
This is an article I wrote a few months ago during the Dalai Lama’s visit to Hyderabad. I got the privilege to attend Dalai Lama’s talk early 2017. During the talk, he announced a new upcoming Ethics and Transformative Values Center in Hyderabad as well as met with the state’s IT Minister, COO of T-Hub,…
What’s Really Needed
(migrated from earlier project, PerspectiveLink.org) There are many fundamental dilemmas we currently face, including: How to resolve human conflict at the core? How to integrate incompatible worldviews? How to see past the limitations of our perceptions? These are not resolved questions in our world. No where near are we. And they aren’t easy. We as…

Grabbing Life
We want to clench onto life. In our sayings, in our principles, in our lifestyle. We want it to be something we can grab onto…so tightly. Something we don’t want to let go of…ever. So build a life where we never, ever let go. Of what we get. But what we hold onto unravels. It…
An Exciting Life
A clear and simple life is a very exciting life. We are able to really feel the excitement of each moment. We aren’t digging for it, looking for it, trying to find it. Excitement is simply there. (reflect for 60 seconds) Ranjeeth Thunga earlier pen name “Sim___? Li__”
Wandering
Some people say that those who wander are not lost. And that’s true. Wandering by no means we aren’t lost. It doesn’t mean we are found either. It simply means we are searching. And that’s a respectable place to be. Ranjeeth Thunga original pen name “Sim___? Li__”
Happiness and Meaning
We all have different views. Yet at the end of the day, we all want to be happy. And we all want meaning. But how? We might realize…nothing or no one can give us lasting happiness. Or lasting meaning. We then commit our lives to the pursuit of the Divine. The only pursuit that can…
Why We Suffer
Pain isn’t the cause of suffering. “Indulging” in pain is the cause of suffering. Pain itself is context fro growth. Pain gives us clarity. Pain gives us signs. But when we indulge in the pain, we suffer. “Indulge” is the right word. We we revel in the pain, when we get lost in the pain….
Starting Now
Simple living is easy. When we tune in to ourselves. But even if we are not in tune. We can focus, on, simply, where we are. And what we’re doing. What we’re feeling. Breathing in, what we have. Letting what comes next, come next… Ranjeeth Thunga original pen name “Sim___? Li__”
