Desks are still here. Chairs are not. Computers are still here. Humans are not. Well some of us are still here. We are trying to teach the A.I. everything we know about the job collated from the gargantuan experience we have had in the industry only to apply that experience in creating a machine that…

[26] Dreams That Hit You.
![[26] Dreams That Hit You.](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/1.png?w=560)
The impact of my body hitting the door was so loud that I made a big roaring sound. I wouldn’t have been able to hit the door this hard in my wakefulness because of my frail skeleton of a body. But my mind was more focussed on something else. The demon that hit me. I…

[25] Inside a Creator’s Mind
![[25] Inside a Creator’s Mind](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/christoph-niemann.jpg?w=1024)
I just finished watching the first episode of a Netflix documentary called “Abstract: The Art of Design” which profiles the illustrator, Christoph Niemann.

The re-appearance of this musical piece (a striking eight times) is a leitmotif to describe the relationship between Chow…

[21] What is a Story?
![[21] What is a Story?](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/adapt2.jpg?w=1024)
Stories are dreaming with our eyes open. It’s the art of convincing people of a certain idea but with a narrative, they can relate to.

![[20] Questions Series: What Gives Me Energy?](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/energy.jpg?w=1024)
The adrenaline in my body starts to pump up all the wiring in my brain when I watch a moment in a movie that just makes me jump out in joy. A good movie is like an instant energizer for me no matter how low on energy I am
