The document discusses finding and attaining a "good life" and true happiness. It tells a story of a missionary who told a tribal youth he should work to support his family, but the youth replied that nature already provides for their needs. The document then questions whether we were really happy to begin with and says we should ask each other what kind of life we want and what it truly takes to be happy, as happiness may mean different things to different people. It raises issues about the feasibility and costs of attaining the lives we desire.

Unit 2 - Scientific Revoltuion
The document discusses the Scientific Revolution, a period beginning in the 1500s that marked a major change in how people investigated and understood the world. It describes two key ideas: the heliocentric model with the sun at the center of the universe rather than Earth, and the scientific method as the dominant means of investigation. It also notes this shift began a long conflict between science and the Church, as faith was replaced by reason as the primary way to understand truth.

Why Dogs Hate Halloween
Dogs are often stressed by Halloween for several reasons. The costumes, masks, and loud noises from parties or trick-or-treaters can be frightening for dogs unused to such stimulation. Owners are advised to keep their dogs comfortable inside away from the Halloween activities if their dog seems anxious or scared.
Alleles
The document discusses how alleles determine eye color and hair color through dominant and recessive traits. It explains that people need two copies of the recessive blue eye allele "b" to have blue eyes, while only one copy of the dominant brown eye allele "B" is needed for brown eyes. Similarly, hair color is determined by alleles where some alleles are dominant and others recessive. The document uses Punnett squares to illustrate inheritance and predicts that ginger hair may disappear over time due to recessive alleles.
Personal Taxation
The document summarizes key aspects of personal income taxation and the 30% ruling for expatriates in the Netherlands. Personal income tax uses a progressive scale with four tax brackets, with higher incomes facing higher tax rates up to 52%. Assets are also taxed, with a 4% deemed return taxed at 30%. The 30% ruling provides expatriates a substantial income tax exemption of up to 30% of remuneration for up to 10 years to offset higher costs of living abroad. The employer grants a tax-free allowance and the exemption can be renewed after 5 years if the employee still meets conditions.
Classification
Organisms are classified into groups using a binomial system with a genus and species name in Latin for consistency.

It prompts finding the Latin names of common organisms like cats and dogs on Wikipedia to illustrate patterns between closely related species names.

Article: The Peace Chiefs: Ancient wisdom, corporate leadership, and questions
This article discusses the author's experience visiting a remote Masai village in Kenya and facilitating a workshop for bank executives pledging to help the world's poorest. It explores the paradox of suffering alongside personal fulfillment and calls readers to be "Peace Chiefs" - taking courageous action to demand change from leaders and address social and environmental issues rather than remaining passive. The author believes individuals underestimate their gifts and should search for vision, know themselves and their impact, develop potential, heal wounds, find fulfilling work, and resist comfort to enact positive change.

Today, I couldn’t help noticing a lady I know in synagogue with something different about her. On her arm, she had a big prominent tattoo that said: “Am Yisrael Chai” (Israel Lives). Interested to learn more, I asked her what made her decide to get this, and she said,
I’m no youngster, but I had a dream! In the dream, I saw these words and I just knew that I needed to do this!
Sometimes, there is just something inside or outside us that calls to us, and we somehow know that it’s who we are or need to become, and it’s part of the fulfillment of ourselves.
In the Torah portion this week, Vayechi, Jacob before his death blesses each of his sons. The sons didn’t all get the same blessing, but different ones according to who they were. According to Rabbi Schneur Kaplan, this is because in Judaism, we are not meant to all be the same, but rather to fulfill our individual potential within the framework of our Jewish tradition.
Rabbi Kaplan explained that if you look at the “blessings” of the twelve tribes, not all of them even look like blessings. For example, Reuven, the eldest, was stripped of his birthright to both the kingship of Israel (which went to Judah) and the priesthood (which went to Levi). So how is that a blessing? The Rabbi answered that is what good parenting is. Jacob saw his sons for who they were as opposed to what he thought they should be. Reuven wasn’t cut out for leadership, but instead was more geared towards creativity, asceticism, and shepherding, and there is a rightful place for that and a place in Judaism for all of us to be who we are!
Parents often want their children to fill some void in themselves, and they goad or force their children to soccer, tennis, or swimming practice or to the Ivy League university or the profession that they think is best, never even looking at or considering who their children really are inside. That’s a parenting challenge—to see past our wants and needs and instead to do what is really good for our children as they are and not as we are. In fact, Rabbi Kaplan said that the Rebbe never asked about a person’s lineage. It didn’t matter if you were the son or daughter of a great rabbinic dynasty or of the local tailor or baker. What’s important is not where you come from, but rather where you are going.
Even while we are each different and should become our best selves, we still all need to make sure we are driving towards good healthy goals.
Happiness Is Voyage
The document discusses how people often believe their life will be better once they achieve certain goals or life stages, such as getting married, having children, children growing up, retirement. However, it argues that there is no better time to be happy than the present. Happiness is about enjoying each moment rather than waiting for the future. We should appreciate the people in our lives who care for us rather than focusing on celebrities, winners, or achievements that do not last. True happiness comes from helping others.
Ekas Lam 20/20 (1st January 2020)
This document is a song by Jhené Aiko expressing hurt and disappointment over a failed relationship. In three verses and choruses, she reflects on signs that her partner was losing interest and moving on, realizing it is no longer worth salvaging. She acknowledges overhearing things that suggest he is seeing someone else. The chorus reiterates that his concerns are "none of your concern anymore" and the relationship will not work or hurt her anymore.
AIL Vol 6 Iss 1
This document discusses how humans are meant to live in a garden environment but often find themselves living in a "jungle" environment due to modern lifestyles. It emphasizes the importance of recreating healing, garden-like environments wherever we are through minimizing stressors and maximizing exposure to nature, even if just mentally. Living surrounded by nature promotes wellness, but an increasing number live confined indoor lives disconnected from the natural world. We must work to bring children and adults back into nature for health benefits.

The overall message is that caregivers can find opportunities within their role and learn from elders on improving their own quality of life through purpose, activity, humor, learning new things,
The beginnings of faith D2a
The poem explores the questions a curious 3-year-old asks about life and death. The child questions if flowers and people die, if old things are thrown out, and how one knows if something is old. They wonder if petals fall from people as they do flowers. The questions reveal the child's contemplation on mortality and what happens when things grow old. Overall, the poem illustrates how even at a young age, humans seek to understand life's bigger questions through questioning.

1) The author draws a comparison between maintaining his youth ministry and maintaining his yard, noting that without proper care and attention, both will become overgrown and out of control.
2) Recognizing this, the author realizes he needs to care for the "hidden parts" of his life and soul, not just the visible outward aspects. He begins meeting with a spiritual director for help with self-reflection.
3) Establishing rhythms of prayer through daily prayer and silence have also helped the author slow down and better engage his heart and soul. This in turn helps him be more present with those he serves.

Social Design in Times of the Coronavirus
The document discusses participatory design approaches for community gardens. It notes that top-down design and maintenance led by professionals can undermine community ownership. Effective design is an iterative process where community members shape the space through small individual initiatives over time. The involvement of landscape architects can sometimes halt participatory decision-making. Management of the garden may become an issue if the city is reluctant to provide support after installation.

Slides for a short lecture I'll be giving at 'The Design Village' for a seminar on 'Design Education & Pedagogy in India'. I begin with reference to a 2006 lecture, and then add my subsequently gained wisdom and insight into design practice and pedagogy.
DCID_brief
The document discusses India's large youth population and lack of sufficient jobs, forcing many graduates to take low-skilled work. It argues that entrepreneurship can provide an alternative career path, as opportunities exist due to the large population and growing sectors like mobile apps. The organization provides training and support to help develop entrepreneurial skills and start new businesses.
New Brief for Design—Manoeuvering the Behavioural Iceberg
Increasingly, designers are being asked to apply their skills and talents to achieve a 'behaviour-change' objective. Why is this happening? What do designers know and do that makes them specially competent for such tasks? This presentation aims at holding up a mirror to practitioners and hopefully showing them a way ahead to equip themselves even better for next-generation challenges.
Please do see the NOTES section for my accompanying commentary.
Smart Swaraj
An attempt to cut through the jargon and restore the ordinary citizen back to the centre of all the 'Smart' and 'Digital' initiatives (and hype). Design thinking is crucial for this to happen. Introducing the Deccan Centre for Innovation & Design, a community & training hub for Social Entrepreneurship.

Presentation to AIESEC gathering
The document discusses the concept of "WOW" and what makes something exceptional. It states that WOW lies in human attributes like physiological, psychological, social, and philosophical aspects. WOW also lies in art forms like dance, poetry, sculpture, and music. The document suggests that to create WOW, societies should put design in every agenda, introduce a culture of art and design, and create safe spaces for play and experimentation. People should suspend judgment, question conventions, and follow intuition instead of authority.
Curiosite: what curators do
An exploration of themes pertinent to curating and museum/exhibition design, followed by a case study of Conflictorium - a participatory museum on conflict
Service Design: New or Ancient Field?
I was invited to speak at a Global Service Jam, which I couldn\'t for some reason. Here is what I had to say.
Democratising Culture
What are the forces that contribute to cultural innovation and change, and how should cultural policies and institutions approach it, given their various (purist, modernist, nationalist, economic) agendas? In this exploration, I try and argue for the role played by "ordinary people" through their diffused but pervasive "everyday actions and practices", suggesting that this is a vital and democratic force that must be championed at all costs as it is essential to building social capital. In our increasingly globalized and corporatized society, the role of the ordinary person is gradually transforming from an active agent-creator to a passive recipient-consumer, leaving less and less scope for individual creativity and innovation. While this triggers a subversive and tactical re-appropriation of cultural goods as shown by de Certeau, I ask why artistry and culture cannot remain a common, affordable and easily-accessible praxis as it still does in Indian and other "poor & under-developed" societies, rather than turning into a premium and exclusive commodity.
Effective Presentations
Here are a bunch of tips and tricks, and a couple of sample presentation outlines, on making effective presentations.
Corporate Identity
I've used this presentation across a range of audiences, and it works pretty well all the time. I've tried to cover here the entire CI process, particularly with its linkages to business strategy.
Graphic Design Gallery
This presentation takes the uninitiated through the tremendous power of graphic design. It also has a few works by myself, tagged onto the greats from history!
Strategic Design
In most cases, art/design students have little idea of how business works. This presentation is an overarching view of the strategic role of design in business, but also peppered with some critical questions.
Raising The Bar
Sometimes, art/design students in India just want to escape from their immediate context. In this presentation, I try to encourage and motivate them to take up the real challenges before them.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

Designing Our Lives
- 2. What is a “Good Life”? How can one get it? Where does one find it? How does one realize if one has it or not? How does one retain it?
- 3. There was once a missionary who came across a tribal youth sitting under a tree, smoking a pipe. He asked the youth sternly, “Why are you wasting your youth in sloth? Why don’t you do some work?” The youth asked, “Sir, why should I?” The missionary replied, “So that you can earn enough to enable your family to live in comfort for generations.” The youth replied with a smile, “But that is what nature already enables us to do, noble sir!”
- 4. It is easiest to blame others for our troubles. Were we really all that happy in the first place?
