A world of little thoughts.
reading Holzfällen after reading "the Novelist" by Jordan Castro is a special experience. it is like the same book.
I recently began working as an electrical apprentice under a Master Electrician. He's a Colombian immigrant with a work ethic that is simply staggering. He's up at 3:45 in the morning, goes to the gym, intermittent fasts, is at work by 7am, prays with his team and hits the road. He is calm, patient, neat and quiet and…
i may look i have it all smile on my face happy, joyful got many friends all that i want but deep inside in my mind it is like fragile glass and it might break if i can't keep going anymore "fake it til you make it" thats what they say until you fake it and lose yourself fake confidence.
As small as it is, do as big as it can ever be. Especially the small things. The smallest detail you have to know. You need to know people - know the little details You need to put your best, even if you're booking restaurants, even if you're going out with someone... know the little details GO to the furthest Don't…
Brands today give little credit to their customers. Failed branding and marketing efforts are often disguised under the ruse of 'fickle customer loyalty' and 'minuscule attention spans'. But the truth of it is the same customers that are scrolling right past your ad are binging 8 episodes of that Netflix show they…
Imagine if the earliest explorers were asked to create an itinerary before they set out to travel. Absurd, right? But that has completely changed for the rest of us. We travel after meticulous planning. In fact, our planning is so meticulous there is a whole industry around curating trips. Travel influencers are a…
A well known meme claims that Eskimo-Aleut languages have a hundred words for snow. Scholars question this, saying that these languages are polysynthetic, in which bigger words are composed of smaller parts and employ suffixes, or postbases. This makes it appear that there are more unique words than actually exist.…
It had been over 4 years since I last took some proper time off work, but the last 6 weeks have been great. I saw some amazing places, met some interesting people, spent time with some of my closest friends, ate some great food, and discovered some lovely alcohol (mezcal & pisco for the win!). Now that I'm back, I…
It hit me today. The realization didn't hit me like a ton of bricks. (Like some people would say.) But it did arrive to my conscious awareness. What am I talking about? Well, the fact that people don't do that of taking time and space out of their mundane routine. Like what I can write in the following paragraphs can…
Maturity is you know how to 守 not just 攻. You don’t need to keep replying the guys who have bad intention to you. Don’t make yourself the victim And just do you Be interesting
I have decided that it's time to switch up morning routine. Thanks in no small part to binging Huberman Labs podcasts during the Jamaica trip. Currently, I am a night owl. In bed by 1am. I wake up at 8:30a on "mama-duty" days and 7:30a on "daddy-duty" days.Starting tomorrow, I will wake up at 7:00AM every morning.…
i have had quite an interest in exploring what it means to build and inhabit more “homey” and inviting digital spaces. oftentimes i've had hangups about the polished and performative pressures that i experience on social media apps. feeling the need to tweet or post the perfect thing to represent myself. very often,…
new year's resolution = goal focused resolution new year's evolution = growth in all areas of life one of my biggest / most challenging goals for 2023 is going to be 0 alcohol the level up will be insane and sobriety will be a nice change.
Boa noite. Hoje eu acordei de madrugada pra me despedir do meu companheiro que foi curtir o carnaval de Salvador. Voltei a dormir e acordei algumas horas depois pra levar minhas doguinhas no passeio. Estava com muita saudades de levar elas pra sair, de torcer por xixis e cocos saudáveis, por forçar interação delas,…
Heya! I have always wanted to come back and write and reflect here more. Rather than committing myself to lofty targets, I plan to be intentionally inconsistent here and writing here only when something strikes me so hard that I cannot stop writing about it. So what's something now that I cannot shut up about it? I…
I released myself from the shackles of performative acts within the corporate landscape that's solely measured through external metrics dictated by an ambiguous algorithm on its designated platform (I deleted my LinkedIn account).
This is a reminder to myself that a new beginning is coming—the one you’ve been waiting for so long. So, just finish this chapter, make your last effort. As hard and tedious as it is, it’s going to be over soon.
I always thought that I was flexible, could adapt well, and thrive in the newest of environments. But with the speed at which the entire digital landscape around us is changing, I'm not so confident anymore. Having always tied my worth to my productivity, what if I'm not relevant anymore? Another thing that worries me…
Ontem eu li "O Jovem", da Annie Ernaux, em que ela narra sua história de amor vivida aos 54 anos com um homem 30 anos mais jovem. Achei o livrinho de uma beleza extraordinária, onde ela não fala apenas da história sobre os dois, mas dos desejos femininos e dos preconceitos que sofremos como mulher. Para ela, não era a…
There is generally good awareness on the importance of gratitude tracking and how that improves mental health. There is a tendency to make gratitude noting as a mega milestone kind of event like, child birth, exams, promotion, and more recently, what is trending also is daily micro gratitude practices, where listing…
You've read or heard the quote before. Doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result is the definition of insanity. - Albert Einstein It's a very famous one thrown around online to the point that's almost becoming a cliché. And yet... That's what many people do daily, myself included some times...…
Cara, vou começar pelo sonho. Com frequência eu sonho com comida. Mas não são sonhos normais. São sonhos mega realistas, tão realistas que eu sinto o gosto das comidas e acordo louca querendo aquilo. O sonho da vez foi com um bolo de chocolate. O processo da receita envolvia maracujá, manga e, claro, o chocolate. Um…
What inspires change? Knowledge Fear Hope Knowledge inspires change by opening our eyes to what is, what could be, and what is likely to be. We can then imagine what it might look and feel like to play out those scenarios. Knowledge usually sparks either fear or hope. Maybe you can’t have one without the other? Both…
My life has been rough lately. I am stressed, sleep-deprived, and unable to function well. This year is my second attempt at applying to grad school programs, and the journey has been anything but easy. I have to keep retaking the GRE, write multiple essays (even just for one school!), and conduct original…
Eu tava pensando que na correria do tempo passando, é muito fácil e confortável entrar numa rotina e nunca estar aberto para o novo. Lembrei também de quando a minha família migrou para outro país e a comunidade brasileira foi muito muito importante para eu manter os meus pés fincados na minha nacionalidade, mas…
My day feels more like wake up, exist, sleep and wake up again! During the day, looking at emails as I wake up, commuting to and back work, working and handling calls till I sleep off, limited socialization with family and friends, zero leisure activity other than TV. Even on weekends, I think the familiarity of the…
I am immensely grateful to have my mother, whose unconditional love provides me with constant support and comfort. Knowing that someone in this world loves me so deeply and unconditionally is a huge blessing that enriches my life every day.
I have heard (and read) from many people that writing is not so much an activity done for others, it's for oneself. Writing is a way to take something from all that jumbled mess of thoughts on the head and put it down on paper (or online). What happens when we write is that notions we have, that we think we know well,…
Recently, the Indian Supreme Court deferred the decision on mandating a policy for menstrual leaves for women to the Central Government. This raises a critical question: At the current stage of India's growth journey, what's more important? 1. Bringing more women into the workforce? 2. Ensuring the best workplace…
Just saw though - from a dying 23 yo patient His last ideal was to bring his kindness and love to everyone around him And he hoped to be remembered from that Because when I was poor I was not in the right state of mind My mind was abit evil and selfish I didn’t want to spend time with my ex because I wanted to focus…
Every Sunday my family used to go to church, have breakfast outside, come home and mom used to make chicken biryani, which used to taste delicious. After that meal, my brother and I would pour ourselves a glass of cold drink(Thumbs up, mostly. If you don't like thumbs up, we are not friends.) and enjoy while watching…
I've been wanting to write regularly for a bit now but haven't started. I don't know if I things worth saying is part of the reason. Other is procrastination. I hope no one reads these for a bit. It's odd when you realise people you know in real life follow your twitter and you do wtf. dont. Something like that ig.…
Keeping a gratitude journal changed me from a non-believer to a believer. Gratitude became a habit - an essential part of my morning routine. I was always optimistic, but I started feeling happier. I developed a mindset of gratitude. Gratitude made me look for the good in my life. Looking for good led me to…

From the book "The Business Idea Factory" by Andrii Sedniev: "There is a direct correlation between quantity and quality of ideas. The majority of ideas that the best ideas creators generate are bad, some of them are average and very few are genius. These few genius ideas make the best creators enormously…
Today has been one of the longest Sundays I’ve ever had in a while. Akriti Didi came down with her husband Bhargav. Had so much fun just talking to her and him, and generally enjoying the family talk. Early morning I helped sort things out and welcome them. Then after breakfast, had an amazing sleep. Then we went out…
You are a coward. You know it. You have to grow out of it. You celebrate the downfall of others, then you celebrate your victory. It is your mistake. You have to grow out of it. You can never win like this. You want to be kind, but you cannot. You are mean. You liked her. You want to be with her, you want to win. But…

I love non fiction. The Master & His Emissary by Ian McGilchrist is ideal, a fascinating study of the brain and how it works. If you are interested in creativity it’s a gold mine. Sadly I can’t say the same for fiction. Of course I SHOULD appreciate the works of great authors but impatience kicks in, pages gets…
When smartphones are invented and we start using them a lot, people always say that the next generation growing up on smartphones will be less smart. Because they don't have time to ponder. But it's been 16 years since Steve invented the iPhone, are we seeing a dumber generation? That would be easy to identify.…
perhaps we blog for the same reason we do work/read in coffeeshops we want to feel amongst others even in our solitude i wonder if anyone has ever met anyone in a coffee shop and become best friends
This morning I rose at 11AM, which is typical for me on weekends. I did the usual brush and shower. After my first meal of the day, which I suppose would not exactly have been breakfast, I sat at the dining table with a cup of coffee. I felt a need to figure out what I was going to do. Meanwhile, I had begun browsing…
1. Work on yourself only. 2. Better or faster to have a mentor 3. No distraction - schedule yourself and only do else if taskschedule Saw quote {It’s okay not to be perfect} But it’s not okay not to be striving for perfection I think that’s the motto Need the ability to look through the big picture Having the mission…
Writing is something I enjoy doing. Not because it's easy. It's hard, so hard I always avoid it. But It gives me a sense of improvement or fulfillment. ever since I've read "How to take smart notes", I've been writing more and more, for myself. At one point, I wonder "why do I write?" To learn, to think better. So…
The past three places I've lived have all been near a busy street. Not too busy, with cars honking and voices shouting. Not too loud like a highway. Instead, just the right amount of busy, at the right times. What do I mean by this? In the morning, when I wake up, I hear the cars and people start to move about,…

We ended pt 3 by asking, in short, why can't we leap before we look in our quest for creative colutions? One answer is that we've tried shortcuts. Check the web. It's full of models, maps, diagrams, templates, tools and advice on, 'how to write a killer headline'. While a disciplined approach is clearly of some value,…
Priya, my wife, has turned 41 today, and I wanted to take a moment to pen down what she means to me and record my gratitude to her presence in my life. Soulmate is defined as a mate with whom you share your soul. Acknowledging how much she feeds my soul, she fits the moniker of a soulmate technically, rather than just…
