A world of little thoughts.

Islândia, Indonesia, India... O trio dos "I's", os lugares que eu mais amei conhecer. Já voltei para a Islândia, e voltaria de novo. Na India eu já quis até morar. Indonesia. Cada viagem, uma história. A primeira vez foi com Shima (que já partiu e deixou saudades...) quando escrevíamos nosso livro Volta ao Mundo em 13…
Human biases and vulnerabilities are inherent and hardwired. They have evolved to help us survive in an ancient environment, not our modern one. These evolutionary tendencies are now being exploited by technology. It’s important that we begin to see products in terms of human vulnerabilities. Just because we look at…
If Apple does release a slimmer new iPhone, it will likely do so in 2025 as part of the iPhone 17 lineup, say reports from Haitong International Securities analyst Jeff Pu and co-founder and CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants Ross Young (as reported by 9to5Mac). Kuo, Bloomberg and The Information have reported…
It finally happened. I dipped my pen nib into my morning coffee. Should have put a lid on the cup. Can't dip in the wrong container if there's a lid over one of the liquids. Another drawback to drinking coffee black; out of the corner of your eye, it looks like your ink. One of those moments you figured would…
I'm sitting here in Rome, within spitting distance from the Arch of Titus, which commemorates the sacking of Jerusalem two thousand years ago. I'm sitting here, as a Jew, thinking to myself, well, they must've really thought something of the Jews then, to have built themselves an arch commemorating the destruction of…
Endlessly offering my shoulder for you to lean and cry on, but you always reject it. Endlessly prioritizing you, instead you chose to ignore me. Endlessly understanding you, but you chose to see me as an inconvenience. Endlessly giving you my love, even if I don't get anything in return.
how come most people (me included) can name Lewis Caroll off the top of their heads but cannot name J.M. Barrie, when Peter Pan is just as iconic as Alice in Wonderland? I've never read Peter Pan and now I want to. I put on my winter scrunchie, a red tie, and I feel like Wendy now. How many Alice in Wonderlands are…
I am four days into the new regimen and I am feeling pretty good about the whole thing. I got up at 6:30am this morning to ride Peloton and that is the earliest I have gotten up in 3years by my own volition and not because of travel. I was exited to get to bed last night without a cigar, and to wake up and knock out…
I'd like to sell 1000 copies of a self-published book this year. It's a side project, the book isn't written yet and I have no idea how to market it. There are a million ways to fuck this up. Fauzia Burke wrote a book in 2016 about online marketing for busy authors. She suggested figuring out your personal brand,…
One of many advantages of being on the other side of 50s is a sense of familiarity of that having happened before and a realization that nothing is as good or as bad as it seems. Some label the reaction to these events as extreme, stoic or cynical. However, visiting someone in intensive care at a Hospital, no matter…
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…
Read the news about the incident in Itaewon in South Korea. Shocking event really. 156+ dead with 151+ injured. Work was productive. I can finally start working on design docs to push for ideas I’ve had. I started looking at jetbrains space, a new productivity tool. Started looking at the ActivityPub protocol. It…
Pitchfork is too obsessed with lyrics. They’re analyzing music the way people should be analyzing books. They’re talking about world-building and themes. Idk I feel like music is an experience to be felt and explained rather than analyzed
Is by putting the first focus towards the other party Genuinely interested in what she is saying And reply to that sentence “Hahaha is that why you put Bryan beside my seat” That’s a sign of intelligence. A social intelligence Because you’re relating HER in the picture Not at all YOU She talks you relate HERS So is…
You wanna be charismatic and people person as much as possible. So when you leave the office - remember that you’re only doing it cos you wanna get rest at home. Everything you do makes sense - so heads up and say bye to your superior and colleagues (imagine what E will do) - oh bye! And the voice will not really…
There are myriad of ways in which one can claim that a person has lived a good life. After all, isn't what we are all aiming for ? To have a "good life". Obviously, the definitions of the same may differ. It maybe defined by certain achievements, familial bonds or a hundred other ways. But this writer just wants to…
and not on a Thursday. saturday wedding. suited and booted. pastel flowers. pink tie. Then reality sinks in. The plan is not mine to make. And you’ll marry on a Thursday anyway.
A lot of people are not aware of what are walled gardens of Internet so let me first address that. There was a time in the history of Internet where just logging on to Internet was like stepping into a dense tropical forest where you could go anywhere and get lost in it. Today that is not the case anymore. Don't get…
I used to be a born fan of top-down approach. I never could wrap my head around small things if I couldn't figure about the existence and why of things. And that's okay while you're learning but innovation can't be done this way you need to solve a lot of small puzzles to figure out how to solve the larger one or even…
Complete: to make whole or perfect; to mark the end of So many pursuits are taken up with the idea of perfection or wholeness arriving at some point. But what is ever complete? There is no state of perfection or wholeness that can be achieved. The closest thing to it might just be recognizing the futility of the chase…
Can we all just agree to spell the word "thru?" Imagine the environmental impact of saving all those electrons and ink not having to write "through." Probably won't happen, tho.
Day-4 of my 30 day atomic essay streak. This one's about how I used mindful repetition to teach myself meditation. For my essays so far, the concept of 'Mindful Repetition' has been the only anchor. If you're unfamiliar with it, then please read 'Essay 2: Mindful Repetition, Compounds.' I have been wanting to practice…
“This is what I’m thinking about where to stay on our vacation.” I’m talking to my husband. The decision about where we stay will affect both of us. It’s important that he be in on this conversation. Even when my decisions don’t affect others directly, I talk to myself. Saying what I’m thinking clarifies my options…
Muito fácil nossa cabeça nos dar o baile quando estamos tentando criar hábito. Tô nessa missão de escrever todos os dias aqui e hoje esqueci (até agora!). Acordei mais de 9h da manhã, coisa raríssima, visto que tenho duas cachorras exigentes e pontuais. Sete horas da manhã, às vezes antes, elas já levantam e, como…
my writing process is... weird. this week, i knew i had to write a pretty important proposal for station, so i told myself that i would start early. but monday passed... tuesday passed... wednesday passed and there i was on thursday night taking my shower getting ready to go to bed telling myself that i'd wake up…
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?
My office consists of cubicles for associates and cabins for the partners. The partners take up the perimeter of the office, having glass walls with blinds - allowing them to observe us and prevent us from observing them. A subliminal show of their power over us. All in all, very panoptican and something I ruminate…
Congee served in a ceramic bowl, cubes of salmon still cooking slowly in a thickened broth of grain, stock and minced pork, each bite velvety on the tongue. Tangerine pollock roe smushed into a paste, generously seasoned with salt, pepper, lemon, egg yolks and a spoonful of Japanese mayonnaise. Expertly tossed through…
Queria que o título fosse positivo. E foi por algumas horas. Hoje eu acordei depois das 9h da manhã, o que é uma grande raridade, visto que tenho duas cachorras que agem como agiotas se eu não levo elas pro passeio às 7h da manhã. Meu namorado levou elas então eu pude dormir um pouco mais. Acordei de ótimo humor,…
I keep looking here, but there's nothing here. I can't look away. I come here without thinking. When I realize I've been lassoed again, I feel shame for it. And then I stay, as though I am not the one who is feeling that shame. My mind is divided against itself. Some day, I will look back and realize that this place…
I write this at 8 AM on my birthday in one of my worst states of mind in a while. Ideally, it shouldn't have been this way. Courts have closed in Kolkata for summer holidays and I was to embark on a vacation abroad after more than two years. Only for my visa not to arrive in time. At this point, I am gutted. A while…
It's been 1.5 days since I underwent a surgery to repair my shoulder, and I can't believe that I've been struggling to find non-work thoughts and activities to fill my time. Persistent anxiety about the state I've left certain projects, which have been all-consuming in recent months, even manifests in my dreams. I've…
...a place where you get to write just 300 words. Nice. Just capture what's on the mind. A snapshot. First impression: Nice, neat, uncluttered. Reminds me of blank paper on typewriter, minus any other prompts. No random feeds and hashtags, pulls or pressures. What way will this go?
The environment can be sick, the music can be sick, every single detail is sick, But if the people are not right everything can be off
We waste too much time waiting. We wait for the clock to strike the perfect 9 AM, 10 AM, 2.30 PM, or 11 PM to resume work after a break. We'll scroll through a few more reels if there are 3 minutes to 5.30 PM. I used to do that while studying. I would arbitrarily take a break and then resume at half past something.…
Complexity will make you successful 不该认真的时候不要太认真 幽默才能过得更久 所以有时太认真 看清更多事实 会更难生存 (analogy - if you see every each dust in the particles you won’t feel good) Another thing is do it now. Or think it now. What is the thing that you don’t feel like doing but you think you SHOULD’VE been doing… don’t think. Just do it!
I don't think anyone except Germans uses this English saying. It basically means “If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it“. And I think that is complete bullshit in todays dynamic world. Sticking to established methods without seeking improvements is not neutral, it is destructive. But too many people think like that,…
This quote is famously attributed to Dom Pérignon, a Monk from the Champagne region of France, who in the 17th century spent a significant part of his life perfecting the drink that we now know as Champagne or Sparkling Wine. On a recent flight, flying 35,000 feet above earth at 600 miles an hour and sipping…
my heart just skipped a beat i noticed that you can only tell in hindsight who you really loved for me, one of my true loves in life was my friend danny we used to listen to music together and talk about philosophy i just found danny on my old spotify account; he follows me there i want so badly to message him but…
Jack in Titanic Doesn’t care how rich Rose is Every phase of Jack’s life there is a best version to live the life There’s no point worrying and feeling self abasement for yourself Work towards it & there’s a way to live out of poverty Feeling bad is just the easy way It doesn’t mean you stop being someone caring…
You’ve heard you should journal first thing in the morning. Get up early to spend some time with gratitude and bring clarity to the day to come. You’ve heard you should journal at night. Don’t go to bed without reflecting on your day and settling your mind. I advised both of those. You must journal both in the morning…
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…
Covid came and Covid went (well, not really). There was isolation for a long time. Then there was not, as long as you wore masks in private spaces. Shortly after I started going out, I began having these recurrent dreams. I would dream that I entered someplace (the bus, the shopping, whatever) and suddenly notice that…
It took me over two weeks to finish Barkha Dutt's book, To Hell and Back. Not because it reads slowly - quite the contrary. But the scope of the pandemic, and the individual and collective tragedies it contains within it, required me to put it aside for days at a time. Individual stories stood out, framed in sharp…
Two young fish were swimming along. An older fish swimming the other way nods at them and says, “How’s the water?” The two young fish swim on for a bit, then one of them says, “What the hell is water?”[1] According to Alan Kay, thanks to the above exchange, the IQ of each of the two younger fishes increased by 80…
It was like running downhill. The plan was to be slow and steady. I found myself picking up momentum the further I ran. Or, in my case, the more I journaled. I thought journaling gratitude would be enough to carry me for the rest of my days. But I talked to other journalists. I read about journaling. What benefits…
I used to think it was. Most of us get conscious if someone asks us about our hobbies, or what we like to do for fun. Do we wonder if we're the only ones not doing more? Some of us grew up in environments where education was the topmost priority. Everything else took a backseat. We may have stopped pursuing a hobby we…
