Welcome to Aditya Ravi Shankar .com

I created this site so I could share moments from my own journey of growth and learning.

I am passionate about Personal Development, Fitness, Salsa Dancing, Programming,  Billiards,  and learning to use the subconscious mind to its full potential.

I am a tech-geek who has been programming for the past 17 years. Check out some of the games and game programming articles I have written.

If you have been trying to make changes in your life but are having trouble implementing then, you might also want to read The Kaizen Way – How to get past hesitation, fear and laziness to achieve your goals and How to eliminate anger, jealousy and resentment from your life.

If you like to play pool and are interested in improving your game, you might enjoy reading some of my billiards articles. If you don’t play yet, but would like to start, then you can learn how to play pool well in under 30 minutes.

I like to use billiards as a metaphor for life. A lot of the ideas that I write about in billiards, such as subconscious competence, being in the moment, why bad nights are good for you and using your emotions to get more focus, can be applied to other areas of your life.

If you are interested in the idea of the subconscious mind and how it can be applied to achieve mastery in your life, you might like to read Aiming without Aiming – How to achieve subconscious competence in pool which started my journey.

I have always been driven towards finding faster, simpler, and more efficient ways of learning and achieving anything in life. I like to take apart anything that I learn, and I know that I have learned it when I can impart the same knowledge to someone else in significantly lesser time.

Each of the articles on this site is an AHA!! moment in my life or something that has helped change my life in some way.

Hopefully you will find the information on this site useful and inspirational in your own journey.
