Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
‘Indian Matchmaking’ and ‘A Suitable Girl’ have much in common: producer Smriti Mundhra, match-maker Sima Taparia, and an overwhelming display of complex but problematic routines and notions around arranged marriage. Yet, one is cringe (but binge-worthy), while the other is deeply unsettling. The difference in…
Coming home to a refreshing pool, a beautiful sunset, a delicious BBQ dinner, surrounded by loving parents feels like paradise. I‘m so lucky.
então! eu comi uma grama de cogumelo. depois de uma semana produtiva, que ainda não acabou, e de momentos memyselfandI, decidi dar esse passo e tirar esse querido da geladeira que já tava fazendo aniversário. acho que tava meio mofado, mas who knows? bem, foi tudo, brisas gostosas, outras nem tanto. meu namorado que…
I know that "Your brAnding is mOre tHan jusT Your logo" is a tired phrase of the 21st century design world and everyone seems to be throwing it around like confetti in a feeble attempt to add depth to their content. And while I'm here to mock it with you, I'm also here to be a party pooper and say it's true. Just…
My hot take is that I couldn't care less about cryptocurrencies. But here's the latest anon post from the region: === anon9725 Bad week for the Solis. Three headlines from last week: - "Value of Solis Plummets 15% After Government Kiosks and ATMs Attacked Over Weekend". - "Solis Cryptocurrency Struggles Amid Market…
If I could just tune out these distractions, I'll be fine, I told myself. It wasn't just the gadgets. It was the people in my life. The constant, oppressive need to make money. Deleting apps on my phone and turning off notifications was the easiest step. Eventually, I ended up quitting my job. I told myself I needed a…
1. What's something that puts a smile on your face instantly? 2. Who's that someone you look forward to sharing the good news as soon as you receive it? 3. If money and responsibilities are taken out of the equation, would you still live in the same city? 4. What's your favourite childhood memory? 5. Do you feel…
Digitalization has become an epoch: a legend of our time, promising leverage, access, and a cure for systemic inequities. Policymakers and companies alike present it as a universal solution: once technology is introduced, progress will follow. And in many cases, it has; making industries more efficient, records more…
Well, it finally started. Winter is upon us. After a long day of 30-degree weather, we finally received our first dusting of snow and I couldn't be happier. I was born in Hawai'i. And up until we moved to Simsbury, I fancied myself a beach boy, a beach bum, a beach something. Whatever the case, my paradise was the sun…
so this is basically my first time writing here I have written some small things here an there thought of giving a try here too so i want to start a process or it will be my theme where i will be writing something once in a weekend in a way where ill be asking questions or your opinions about some of my thoughts or my…
As a baby your nervous system isn't fully developed yet. When you feel stress, you need touch. Real touch, soft, slow, friendly, safe touch. You're held by a caring being much larger and stronger than you. The gentle motion and smiling face is comforting to you. You feel the stress ebbing away. As you grow older and…
A good quote seen today: “You can’t go back and change the past But you can start today and change the ending” You’re kind, But just not daring and brave enough You could be more achievable If you’re more daring to think through Not stuck into some thoughts by thinking: I don’t think you can
More than three weeks in New Zealand with Mom and we’ve had the chance to see a few faces of the place. Underneath every stone there’s an additional one to be uncovered, and that’s how we’re led from here to there, everywhere. Anything we explore is an effort to explore ourselves - what an opportunity we’ve had here.…
What you do when you're alone that allows you to become the best version of yourself, determines what kind of success you're going to attain. Imagine: KS - probably sleeping or gaming or Tik Tok E - He probably read news or he read about startups; gaining knowledge that allows him to excel in his career You - Staring…
Often, when we do things we overlook things and don't see the blind spots. In retrospect they look stupid and trivial to point that you get harsh on yourself. You often say things to yourself like "how can you be so dumb?" and "i should have been careful and not so naive". You start questioning your ability and it…
ahhhhhhhhhhhh i really enjoy going back to old lectures from creators and designers who i consider mentors. when time becomes slow, it is be best opportunity to listen and revise notes. because with time our memory of past content fades...
“That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” The Bard had wisdom it’s clear. Were a “rose” called a “plinth”, it would be just as pretty. Perhaps we’d have babies called Billy-Plinth? Is it true therefore that it doesn’t matter what you call your brand? If the product, service or values and…
I've been quick to dismiss most books as too long. Here's my logic: Books need to be thick enough for customers to feel like they're getting their money's worth at a bookstore. Hence, publishers create incentives that result in books being 10X longer than they should be. However, I recently discovered an added benefit…
You’re likely familiar with the rebuke to “be present!” wielded whenever someone draws for their camera or smartphone during a dinner or a vacation. Think about how many people you know who “hate Instagram” because it’s “so fake.” Granted, between the daily Starbucks chroniclers, new human/ plant/ pet parents, sunset…
reflect & manifest reverb23 in january adapts the reverb10 event shared about in this post - https://nicheless.blog/post/before-%7C-reverb-in-december-20 "... online initiative to reflect on your year and manifest what’s next ... an opportunity to reflect on what's happened, and to send out reverberations for the year…
Being more with my thoughts, I have come to a realisation how the entire world functions. We want instant results so much that companies have built a business model around it. Consumers don't realise the downside of this. Yes, it has made building things easier but at a cost of short span, short goals and living life…
here i am, lying in bed, staring at my phone, because i can’t get back to sleep. usually, at this hour, 12:37 am, i’m awake. i stay up late because i have to give my daughter meds in her feeding tube while she sleeps in the hopes that they help her continue to sleep until the morning. but this night, my wife was kind…
These are the first words I've written in many months. I've been thinking about why this is the case, and part of it might have to do with fear. I'm afraid of not being able to do it well. But there's something more there. I think I'm afraid because I believe I might have some type of cognitive decline. That was…
The Hidden Costs of Too Many Choices An abundance of choice can seem like a luxury, but it often undermines our happiness. It might sound counterintuitive, but having too many options can be paralyzing and even make us miserable. Think about it: life was simpler for our great grandparents, who lived in close-knit…
A friend recently asked me if he should upgrade to business class. My initial reaction was to mock him for spending so much money. It was quite the opposite to what he hoped for - he probably felt because he could now afford to fly business, I'd respect him more. That was not the case, but as I thought about it more,…
I'm a big fan of Yes Theory and their open, serendipitous approach to life. And I try to take them as an example, to seek more discomfort myself, to say yes, to approach strangers, and to face new situations openly and curiously. That's easier said than done, and it's still not easy for me. Too often, my comfort zone…
I hardly remember when did I attend a full day classes of my college. For the past 9 months, I was a part of a start-up in fin-tech domain. But due to rookie mistakes, they dried up and thus I had to get another internship to pay EMIs of my new I-phone (Aah! What a motivation to work). So, two days back I joined…
"Meditate, meditate, meditate in remembrance of Him and find peace". "When you feel you are without me, listen close, I whisper louder, when you miss me most." The first sentence is from Sukhmani Sahib and the other sentence is from a poem by Donna Ashworth ''Miss Me Most''. Put together, for me, they capture the very…
Emerson wrote, “It is a great terror to be known.” We are terribly scared of the only thing that we want the most. Mostly because we don’t know what looking within is like. Most of us forget ourselves. Most of us never remember to walk to ourselves. We are enormously afraid of knowing our own self. Its easier to never…
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…
'People don't quit companies, they quit managers'. Just like the way companies do background checks, you also need to do background checks on managers/teams/companies. Oftentimes we don't put in the effort for two reasons - 1) lack of choice, we need this job 2) we don't even know how to do it. Glassdoor reviews can…
i'm getting in a cycle of - being afraid of running out of books that i'll consider a "favorite" book or a "five-star read" - frantically searching for books while i'm still reading - constantly reading like 4 books at the same time because i don't want my library loan to run out even tho i could easily renew a loan -…
i was reading her lyrics and thought words like that are very bookish and it turns out she's an avid reader!! apparently she likes to go to big sur to read in peace relatable i escaped to monterey once when i felt that i couldn't make sense of my life, and it gave me all the magic i needed anyway now i wanna read…
I think the hardest thing I’ve had to do is to decide who to be as a creator. Helping others explore and develop their creativity felt much easier than developing my own. There is such joy in standing with another creative and helping them t o aim their creative arrows toward their desired target.…
Modern life makes us hyperfixated on the destination. Get into a top college, get a job by 22, marry by 30 etc etc. Drilling into our heads that the destination is what it is, whereas if you take a step back, you'll realise that destination is largely irrelevant except for a specific reason, the destination helps us…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqs5sdCPm8E i just ate a bowl of curry udon noodle soup and i'm ready to take on the world the game plan: -yoga -laundry -clean the LEAKY ASS TOILET (FUCK)
Ahhhh ⤴️ the ideas of a physical world are being mediated by images for a digital world. how about reflecting on the digital world through written conceptual ideas?
it costs as much to buy Holzfällen from Amazon.it as it does to buy it from Orellfuessli but whereas Amazon will deliver it this weekend, S has to fly to Switzerland first to then bring me back the book but since we already have an Orellfuessli giftcard...but I also don't want his mom looking at the book thinking…
write what? well, just write b/c writing is oft right thoughts can be fleeting but, wherever you left off, writing can pick you right up, right where you left off
During my meditation practice today, I had a realization that has left me feeling both elated and bewildered. For the first time, I understood that the boundary between myself and the external world may not actually exist. In our everyday lives, we tend to view the world as something separate from ourselves. We see…
I waited in the train station restroom. A woman exited the stall, telling me, “There’s no more tissue, but I had some in my purse, so I left a small tissue pack on the dispenser.” That is when I knew I am not as kind and friendly as I thought. Scotland's culture is similar to the United States. We don’t dress…
Journaling daily is required to build a habit. I’ve heard others say: I don’t have anything to journal about. My day was great, what do I write now? There are no set rules for what you should write or how much you should write. You'll have more to write if you use a balanced approach. I write the same words I would…
All models are wrong; some models are useful. Models are fantasies every single one of us holds in our consciousness about how the external world, in whole or in part, works. We are constantly exercising and updating these models to decide how bring reality into accordance with our desire. When things work as…
You can tell a lot about someone by the contents of their fridge. My fridge was mostly empty, some condiments and take out on a shelf and some stale vegetables at the bottom. I won't bore you with bullshit excuses about why I wasn't looking after myself. The worse part was the social dimension. Eating is as much a…
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.…
when it feels like it’s not going to work out when you think you’ve exhausted all your options when it feels like the end of the road you have a decision to make keep going or move on but no matter what choice you make you’ve gotta remember this none of it was a waste of energy there’s a lesson in everything you did…
It frustrates me to watch debates that descend into whataboutery. And if images speak louder than words, I hope the one above manages to drown out a bunch of pointless arguments. --- Whataboutery is a tactic used by people who know exactly what they're doing – intentionally distorting the public's perception of…
Li A hora da estrela, de Clarice Lispector e hoje discuti no clube do livro sobre como a obra me tocou. Também me pergunto com frequência se sou um monstro ou isso é ser uma pessoa, Clarice, por ir contra minha criação principalmente. Ver uma pessoa tão simples economizando a vida, repetindo crenças que não fazia…
