Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
I had downloaded the book on the formation of Trilegal early June and finally finished it on June 25th, 2026. The acknowledgements lead me to this website. What a delight! I had met Sawant Singh during a due diligence that Standard Chartered was conducting for the acquisition of the NPA portfolio of IFCI Bank. About…
Hola querido lector, lectora. Estoy a las 3:31 am de un domingo desde un lugar en México escribiendo este texto. Gracias por leerme, por suscribirte. Desde hace varios meses he estado buscando un lugar dónde escribir. Twitter me parece un lugar al que ya no merece la pena invertir mucho tiempo. En los últimos años…
Woke up at 4 AM to go through PDF of Consumer Behaviour, and later got to know that it was only 1.5 units out of 4. After messaging Bhola to send me the important topics from rest of 2.5 units, I went back to sleep and when her first message came, I woke up and went through the concepts she told me to read once. Then…
This is a tentative method but I’m trying to see how accurate of an impression you can get from an author by just reading their quotes (not life quotes just quotes from the œuvre) — is it like blood sampling, gelato sampling? Is there an emergent property on the level of the paragraph? The level of the chapter? Then…
So, what should I write here? Could it become my digital diary, or maybe just a place to spill out my thoughts? It's such a strange time right now... Missile attacks, blackouts, air alerts, no electricity for 3 days in a row. Maybe that's a good time to start something big and something new?
I've noticed that the first 10 minutes of my day can make or break it. If I hit snooze several times and start scrolling through news on my tablet, I usually end up feeling sluggish and scattered. But when I directly get out of bed, stay off my devices, write down thoughts in my journal, and take a quick cold shower,…
AHH i admire creators who strive to break the box they are placed in by society. a few will break outside of that it, and when they do it is worth more to society. they are the ones who change society for the better. so why does society put creators inside of a box? i imagine limitless creation. forever expanding.…
I get up every day to strive to be a better me and to grow daily. I get up to work hard and gain financial freedom and to be able to build a family and support them with no questions asked. I get up everyday because the love and support I get from being in such a lovely and healthy relationship. I get up everyday…
This is something that came to my mind recently. Mostly because I had to make changes to my usual schedule to better accommodate engagement with other fellow creators and to be available for my client's work. It made me think that routines, as much as they're touted to be the key to success, don't make you a…
I was sifting through my social media accounts this morning. Several of my tweets or posts felt like they had been posted a few hours ago. I was recalling my thought process behind each post. How much time I took. How 'important' they felt. How they reflected my mindset and experiences at that particular moment.…
Is to be upfront and integrity This is the shield against all immoral and dishonourable G knows you been paying for most It’s ok to reject him once if it’s too much Stay honest and thinking things through The only way to get through and stand strong When having questions - just ask Big decisions; take a night to think…
Moods, nausea and fear washes over me in tides and recedes just like that. Like my therapist said, fear needs to be embraced. It's an emotion that serves one quite well if embraced properly. I try to slowly build a friendship with fear because something tells me she will be a companion for life. Fear is a sneaky…
Első bejegyzés. Régóta keresek és próbálok különböző minimalista blog- és mikroblog-felületeket - most találtam rá erre az alkalmazásra. Egy próbát megér...
A classic blocker is the idea of your siblings reading what you wrote (i.e. that thing you thought in a certain circumstance): that is pure deep terror.
Sim, ainda estou em Belo Horizonte. Hoje fui comer a famosa rosca com queijo canastra, açúcar e canela lá no mercado central acompanhada de um cafezinho preto maroto. Que delícia ein! Minas gerais não decepciona em nada na comida. Em nada. Do café da manhã ao jantar, tudo impecável! Do incrível Café Palhares, onde…
I've been reading "A More Beautiful Question" by Warren Berger in which Berger, while exploring how to frame questions in an effort to innovate and implement new ideas, shares an exercise about starting the exploration of an idea by simply asking questions and turning those questions on their heads. I've been thinking…
hard to accept, but a lot of what we believe is placebo. dogmas, rules & ways of living that don't really prove themselves; but don’t hurt either. believing in them isn’t always bad – ease of mind based on false beliefs is ok. but I believe this derives from a societal disease of not practicing scientific skepticism –…
TL;DR: when I am sending my Calendly link, please know my intent is to save each of us time, not some sort of presumption that my calendar is more important than yours. Longer: I am pro-Calendly. I realize that there has been a debate around it following a VC's rant. I get the critique: if I send a Calendly to you,…
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh Exhausted from the day. tomorrow excites me. a dream of tomorrow as i sleep will be worth the efforts of today...
As a new year's resolution this year, I would like to write a book. Nothing too complicated, something small that helps software engineers learn to make homemade ramen from scratch. I'd love to package what I know into something I can hand friends when they're in a funk, eating too much processed food, and spending…
Digital screens are replacing mechanical switches in more and more places—from your car to your thermostat. It is certainly more modern. But is it more effective? I noticed a stark difference in ease of use when apartment maintenance came around to replace our analog thermostat, the circle kind that you twist to set…
The notion of an 'efficient' market is one that you would have probably come across often. What exactly does that mean? In most theoretical models of the modern market-economy, resources (money, goods, etc.) are deployed by their owners towards their most productive uses. Any under-utlilisation of resources creates an…
It is a fact of civilized life that there exist rules which govern and constrain individual behavior. You can't steal your neighbor's car because you don't have one, or because his is faster. Regardless of one's moral philosophical framework, just about everyone agrees on that. We tend to put the people who don't in…
The founder of this blog wrote a couple of days ago that Nicheless had found a couple of niches of its own as follows: "(1) Content creators who use it to publish content outside their niche. (2) Other creative people who use it as a low pressure environment to publish their thoughts." There's perhaps a third niche -…
What is the goal of a human life? We are on this planet for 100 years at best and of those 100 years a part at the beginning and a part at the end will not be productive. So we only have limited time available to us. Within this limited time we build structures and systems in place to create, build and live on this…
Ahh powerful moments in history are not the creations of what we make now. it is the evolution of conversation around the creations that dictate what makes history...
it was a running joke among my friends growing up that I'd come over just to be able to take a nap because that wasn't allowed at home. it wasn't all that serious, of course, but I was incredibly fortunate to have both of my parents home, all day, every day for my entire life - which meant that I wasn't often truly…
You've spent your life building a portfolio of skills. The only problem is they're currently stuck behind a dam. Let me explain: There's a wealth of expertise stuck behind your ability to articulate it in a manner that's: • clear • educational • entertaining The solution is to build a writing habit. Writing is the…
You can’t just do 50%, you need to think of everything Even the conversations No one ever gets greater by just thinking not doing Think more before you say It’s the other way round Ask questions (from others) to yourself, think it more Think questions (from yourself) less, ask it more Put 100% of the things you do A…
My son eyes aren't teaming properly. They create blurry images. To compensate his brain shuts off his weak eye and overloads his dominant eye. This knock-on effects are reading fatigue, inability to stay focused, etc. We may have scratched this up to ADHD and sought medication. Thankfully, my wife kept pulling the…
So I happened upon marketing by accident. I began my career as a psychological researcher. I was in charge of putting out flyers to attract people with major depressive disorder to a study where they could receive free treatment. One day, I was instructed to put fliers in doctor's office waiting rooms, cars in parking…
Meus planos de ver meu sobrinho deram errado porque alguém decidiu que "não é o momento". Como eu não sou a mãe e não tenho papéis com decisões jurídicas, fica difícil bater de frente para impor minha vontade. Eu sempre digo: certo pelo certo. Tem que ir atrás das burocracias, os acordos precisam estar assinados por…
Do you have a big plan or idea that you're eager to bring to life? Something that not only benefits you but also others and the world at large? It could be bold, daring, and even risky – there's no limit to what can be accomplished. The key is to work backwards from your end goal to where you are now. Ask yourself:…
Happy Halloween. May your candy bucket be full and the odds ever be in your favor.
These are the big things I'm thinking of right now: 1. Trade less Last cycle I was obsessed with rebalancing portfolios and trying to be agile. I made a stupid number of trades, often daily. I got lost, it didn't really work, and it was exhausting. This time around, I will be more deliberate and intentional. 2.…
I’ve been on a bit of a journey with JavaScript recently, and stumbled upon a simple, yet game-changing tweak—using Boolean(). I used to do the standard stepCompleted != null checks. They worked well enough but left room for surprise with values like 0 or ''. Switching to Boolean(candidate.stepCompleted) was a small…
These areas may be stand-alone, aligned, interplay, or coalesced with others and represent how I show up in the world. What I choose to do (and not do) is rooted in how I identify the external world in context of my values and strengths. --- R|CAT (Resource Catalysts) aka FLYWHEEL role: CONSULTANT ... business owner…
Knowledge sets us free, art sets us free. A great library is freedom. -Ursula Guin. Public libraries are where we witness the entirety of human existence. The youngest members create their imaginations while the oldest are constantly trying to understand the present and future. The middle aged are upskilling…
Recently, I bought a Sailor Fude de Mannen pen, as suggested by a friend. It was supposed to be an ink guzzler but he mentioned that it comes with 2 cartridges. I also remember reading a buyer comment on Amazon about 2 cartridges. The seller description, however, did not mention this. I cross-checked with the vendor,…
Why is it that you see most of the philosophers talking about high performance rarely act upon them and are high performers? Philosophers tend to romanticize life in their heads and yet dont see the beauty of the world they live in. Here, is something to note that I have read some of the works of Alan watts, Jiddu…
Human ingenuity and persistence is best seen in engineering. A mere 2 feet separated imagination and death in the hour long flight. Multiple forces are involved, from engineering, flight management to freedom of choice in choosing flight time. We flew in a 1978 Piper Cherokee, i.e a 45 year old plane. She has also…
“Therefore if God gave them the same gift as he also gave us after believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to hinder God?” Acts 11.17 NET. God gave the outpouring of the Holy Spirit to those gathered in Cornelius’s house so that everyone could reach this conclusion: the gospel is for all. MORE: Cornelius’s…
Of all the things people tweet about online regarding startups, I've not seen a single one about cofounder dynamics. Yet, in my experience, cofounder dynamics are one of, if the not the, most important aspect of a young startup. Cofounders can argue and disagree. Individuals have egos sand insecurities. People have…
Care is the gravity that holds a group together. It is the practical stuff of hospitality, like preparing for a meeting or cleaning up afterwards. It's also emotional work, like noticing that someone is not having a good time, and checking in with them. Without care, a group falls apart. It’s safe to assume that in…
Being okay with not being okay. Contradiction? Kinda. Really it’s different layers. Maybe you’re not okay at one level, but if the higher level is okay with it, then on the whole, you’ll feel okay. Maybe your bank account is zero. Is that a problem? Yes of course, but an equally correct answer is: Only if you treat it…
You might be able to sum up the dharma with “comparison is the thief of joy”. Just expand the comparison to not be versus other people, but versus anything and everything. Your food fell on the floor, and it’s made you sad? Now you’re comparing having the candy versus not having the candy. Let go of it. You stubbed…
The world announces itself loudly. It never asks for permission. It arrives as friction, metal against rail, voices colliding, engines coughing smoke into the afternoon. People move with purpose or pretend to. Everyone is going somewhere. Everyone is late. Noise becomes the proof of existence. I stand inside it and…
Writing a weekly newsletter is challenging and energizing. But two? That's a different animal. As i continue this 100-day project -- writing content, art, formatting, frequency, whether or not to offer paid subscriptions and etc -- it suddenly occurs to me i still have to write content for my weekly,…
