About Dr. Rajendra Parijat

Namaste, and welcome to my digital home — a space I’ve created to reflect, question, share, and connect. I am Dr. Rajendra Parijat — an educator by profession, a philosopher at heart, a storyteller by instinct, and a lifelong seeker of knowledge. My journey spans over six decades of reading, writing, teaching, guiding, and most importantly, unlearning.

From classrooms to conferences, from academic journals to coaching sessions, I have moved through many worlds — exploring the depth of philosophy, the rigor of science and management, the soul of literature, and the art of helping people find clarity in their personal and professional lives. My work is rooted in the belief that education is not just about acquiring knowledge, but about cultivating the wisdom to let go of what no longer serves us — the limiting beliefs, labels, and patterns we carry unconsciously.

This website, New and Normal, is a reflection of that inner journey — and an invitation for you to begin your own. It is built on a simple yet powerful idea: that to truly grow, we must become free from the “known” — the inherited thoughts, predictable routines, and comfortable assumptions that define our so-called “normal.” When we release these, what emerges is a fresh space of awareness — where life becomes more intentional, joyful, and meaningful.

Here, I share insights drawn from my lifelong engagement with ideas and people — whether from my role as a professor, a certified life coach, a public speaker, or a quiet observer of the world. You will find articles, reflections, book talks, thought pieces, and stories meant to inspire reflection and encourage inner growth. Some are deeply personal, others academically rooted — all are shared with the intention of sparking transformation.

New and Normal is not just a blog — it’s a movement of the mind and spirit. It is for thinkers, doers, creators, students, professionals, retirees — anyone ready to pause, question, and explore new ways of being.

So if you’ve ever felt the need to reimagine your life, to grow beyond what you’ve always known, or to embrace change with more confidence — you’re in the right place. I welcome you with open arms and an open mind.

Let’s walk this path of awareness and discovery — together. writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever.
