I am Vivek Jones−an Indian as defined by the Constitution of India, husband by love, dad by choice, development professional by passion, leader by ‘calling’, lifelong learner by curiosity, and delusional daydreamer by DNA.

I have taken many a turn in life as I allow myself to daydream and get ‘distracted’. They then become my alleys of exploration. And some alleys become my pursuit. In other words, in a less fancy way, I am living my dreams.

Every experience gives me a chance to see just a bit more clearly. It’s like changing glasses. You gain a better perspective.

We live in a world where we are surrounded by differences. Across the years, I’ve observed how perceptions work within individuals and society. Our past is never just our past. It encroaches into our present and even shapes our future. We are products of very particular cultures which consist of the interweaving of our socio-economic, religio-geographic, philosophical, psychological and political peculiar narratives and beliefs.

We live in an evolving world where everyone and everything is ‘mattering’ in ways we are yet to understand. We are always in a state of flux. In such a world, everything is connected in a webby mesh−where we meld and change as we aim for an elusive equilibrium.

Changing Glasses is my attempt in living in that flux as I explore and re-learn only to re-explore and re-re-learn.
