Gazing into the void
I like how Nicheless just has this whole, "I am a blank page and I dare you to write something on me," vibe to it.
Gathering thoughts…
Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.

- a girl who i talk to who is doing her best to be nice to me and listen to me - a boy who i talk to who is doing her best to be nice to me and listen to me it's like they're kinda trying to be - deep - interesting - thoughtful but they lack that quintessential thing. what is that quintessential thing? it sounds a bit…
nada é tão distante quando o querer prevalece. djavan acertou - sempre acerta - quando disse que "tudo é viável pra quem faz com prazer". aliás tudo nessa musica é um acerto absoluto.
Omfg, seems like something big is happening in La Paz City. === anon8858 I’m still recovering from the shock of the assassination attempt on General Rodriguez. I was there covering the General’s speech for El Subsuelo. This is the most disturbing scene I’ve ever witnessed. The General was arriving at the stage when a…
Teachers always wrote - "Can do better with more effort" on my report card. I was smart but not smart enough to match the truly brilliant ones. I was hard working but could not match the real work horses. The truly elite I observed were the ones who were both work horses and naturally gifted. I worked when I felt it…
When was the last time did you try or buy some thing out of your own curiosity or without any feedback? Must have been a very very long time i am sure. Today for everything and anything we have an app and someone would have written a feedback about the product or the service which you want to buy or try. This has made…
THEME: rolefulness 3 WORDS: deliberate, betweenness, fingertips Below explains the context of each. I will share about these in follow-up blog posts, for which I'll backfill the links below. --- ROLEFULNESS ... because of Professor Daiki Kato and Nicholas "Nick" Kemp on-going work. I am part of the Ikigai Tribe.…
hoping for a universal salvation. hoping that up and above, his mercy is so immense, that though every human soul, when even when they repent, is forgiven and chooses salvation. yet when every human soul is forgiven, teachings are useless and what they preach is disregarded as every sin is still forgiven, no matter…
there is something about the nature of the things i seek which makes them hard to find namely that i look for things that are largely unspoken i look for the anti-memes and i am so attuned to this quality that the books i want to read are often difficult to acquire or out of print
ano passado eu fiz uma lista das coisas que eu achava que seriam essenciais para mim este ano. sem elas eu não viveria, pensava. este ano eu conquistei muitas coisas e me recordo que três delas estavam nessa bendita lista: comprar um violão bom porque senão eu não teria mais como tocar, comprar um notebook porque…
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…
Made me realised on how much growth I can do & still need to do Be interesting & don’t think so many - just do & live Too many thoughts inside your brain - you gotta divert the energy to around your world eyesight Take what’s most interesting and take it in. Ask interesting questions The energy and emotional…
This isn't the first time I am attempting to maintain a streak. I've done it before. In 2019, I kept a diary and wrote a line or two about each day of the year. Sometimes it would be detailed, while at others, not so much. In 2018, I started doing the daily house chores with full intention. I would help at home as…
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…
just because you're entitled to an opinion, doesn't mean you're required to get one. and just because you relinquish your right to an opinion, doesn't mean you're an idiot. the brain cells required to keep up with that shit can be spent elsewhere, if you so wish it's called the freedom of thought. when i hang out with…
One of the first questions a therapist asks when you start therapy is "Tell me about your childhood." There is a stigma attached to mental health and while the world at large has started to make peace with that now, there's still shame attached to bad parenting. My childhood was spent in survival mode. My parents had…
For two years in mid-1970s Srinagar, I'd walk down the lane where we lived, cross Maulana Azad Road and traverse the Polo Ground, a vast expanse to my 7 year-old self. Then, crossing Residency Road, I'd make my way down the Bund to Grindlays Ghat, named after the eponymous British bank and housed in a colonial era…
Obviously not this one. There's a lot of rambling in my head too, like now. But because these are ramblings, do they matter? Are they worth thinking at all? Should they be shared? Where do our limits lie in thoughts?
here is my first post the entire content is about writing my first post i figure it's the quickest way to start a habit that will last or swiftly end an interest that won't
i have been thinking of my design ethos. i find the best way to develop is by listening to mentors. they way the speak. the way the create. the language they present. all have underlying fundamentals which can be adapted to my own thinking. i believe this is how to truly think outside-of-the-box...
i feel like every person with a solid sense of self has "themes" for ex: - outdoor sports, traveling, nature, wanting to discover the world, wanting to have fun (japanese with shun) - environmentalism, human rights activism, politics (some swiss ppl i know) - money, how much money they have, how much more money they…
Now to the final steps- Step 11 - Now the cover this vessel with a lid tighly and heat it on high flame for a few minutes. Gently open the lid after 2 minutes. If you see the steam coming out, reduce the flame to light. If you don’t, continue the same step with lid covered for another 2 minutes until you get the…
“I’m through with this fuckin war, through with marchin in the dust, through with gettin shot at. I’m done, I’m goin’ home,” spouted Jenkins as he got up from the fire. “Quit bein’ a pussy, ain’t one of us here that don’t wanna be home” countered Carlton. “I ain't no pussy.” “Sure acting like one.” “Evenin’ boys”…
People commonly fantasize about starting their own location-independent, million dollar businesses. I know several people who now work out of their boats. While there is a whole industry on entrepreneurship (e.g. books, social media figures, boot camps, communities) - the overall landscape is covered in survivorship…
The only thing that bores me more than my opinion is yours. I haven't heard a new take or a hot take in more than 20 years. Most of my takes are bargain basement off the shelf opinions that I hold true -- I think? -- not because I believe them but because of some delusional image I have of myself. I am not the only…
In the late 1990s, the most visited website for many Indians, especially NRIs, was samachar.com. It provided single-point, free online access to most major national newspapers. A quarter of a century later, and the online Indian news landscape is unrecognisable. Some of the best, most honest journalism in India today…
Our world is shaped by shared myths What is a shared myth anyway? Shared myths are things which has zero or near zero intrinsic value by itself.Its value is provided by the people believing in them.They lose their value if everyone stops believing Most people do things for Pleasure,Money & Religion Money does not have…
it doesn't happen everyday, folks you've heard it here first: high motivation karate tai-chi ok so you basically do karate moves, but with every move, you also say something motivational and it's a whole sequence you essentially memorize a monologue of positive mantras as well as a karate sequence (1) ready position…
I took down my website. It was bullshit. Just like the many bullshit ideas that cross my mind, and all the other bullshit projects that I embark on. I started that site as another "creative outlet". A place where I could improve my writing. The latter, AKA "the goal", remains genuine. The former, AKA "the idea", AKA…
Micro habits are important for creators. They build muscle memory to ship things faster. In my opinion, two foundation habits are - writing and reading. Atomic writing is a forcing function to reduce fluff. A path to clear thinking. But more importantly, It's a small bet that reduces inhibition in sharing. It gets you…
I have no feeling for the rain, except that I enjoy it, and that I also enjoy people's derision, disgust and disdain for it. Today I have spent the entire day indoors, while it pitter-patters outside, ranging from light pittering to tremendous pattering, enough to shake my windows and scare mighty, bulky, mammoth…
Just be interested in what you truly wants to know If you think that the materialistic stuff & the factories and the stories are interesting - genuinely try to understand first Hey you got this new knowledge - you should be grateful not being sour about it right? Previously I’ve been quite conservative to understand…
Então, fiquei aqui em casa com a minha dor, fiz uma bolsa de água quente e dormi. Acordei brevemente pra comer salada de beterraba com tomate e farofa de banana, voltei a dormir. Abri o whats e vi que um grupo que eu sou adm estava pipocando, não consegui responder nem ajudar em nada. Voltei a dormir e acordei pro…
Sometimes, an urge suddenly pops into your head - you feel the need to visit a website, check your Reddit feed, browse promotions in an online store, or look up stock values. These impulses can disrupt your deep work session and break your flow. Resisting this recurring, nagging urge can be challenging. The good news…
hearts are complicated organs. when i wanted to become a surgeon, i knew i'd choose neurosurgery. there was something - something i haven't still defined - something the world hasn't yet uncovered - that makes a mind make a heart. complicated, isn't it? we look for answers where we know there are none. we wait when we…
I've been trying to decide whether humans are inherently selfish or if that's learned behavior. I haven't found an answer. what I think I can say is that time and age changes everything for each individual, and that there is no perfect point along life's arc that one can point to)without a heavy bespectacled tint(and…
Acabei de ver um vídeo de uma senhorinha de 100 anos fazendo exercícios com a ajuda de um personal trainer. Coisa simples, levantar pesos, pegar e jogar a bola, levantar a perna com pesos no tornozelo. Coisa que muita gente com décadas a menos não consegue fazer. É isso, gente. Vamos fazer exercícios para ter…
It’s time to lock in. Lock in on your dreams. Lock in on your work. Lock in on your standards. Do the boring work and it will work. Leave nothing to chance. Create your own luck. Lock in.
ahhhhhh a reoccurring shape i use in creation is a sphere. why do i use it? the reason derives from a quote by Andrea Branzi "the distance between the natural world and artificial world no longer exists today, because the latter has become second nature". this quote resonates with me, i exists both naturally and…
The wolf had a brief weird moment. He saw his own shadow waving at him. Was it a sign of some higher calling? Did the Gods of the forest will him to take a reckoning of his existence thus far? After all, he was walking the walk of a wisened and senile canid for a while now. Perhaps the moment was not far away when he…
How to get attracted is to be interesting - study the material and know the content Not aiming to play with words or being superficial like looks etc… Be interesting means reading more about it, actually infuse and understand it, being in the moment to joke around You wanted to be original & you don’t want to copy…
This is the way I'll be going about for mostly all that I do in the upcoming year. 2023. This is an idea that popped up in my head in my leisure time. The more I think about it, the more that I realize it's pretty on point and summarizes many of the learnings of the previous 2 pandemic years. There are many things…
As a man, a husband, in my forties, who has moved more than 5 times in my life and had to get a new collection of local friends, one piece of advice I wish I could give myself is: never is an opportunity to "get real" with someone. When folks ask: "how's it going?" the reflex is to keep the response as shallow as…
In my course Introduction to Design Project our main project is to make a lamp, do the ideation, 3d modeling, 3d printing and the electrical assembly of the final product. This course lasts for about 2 months and already in the 2nd week we already have to have some ideas of the concepts and lamps that we want to do.…

As human organizations grow in size and complexity, they tend toward selecting for conformity over competence. If unchecked, this tendency can lead to ruin. Why does this happen? In order for the organization to be effective in pursuing its goals, the proportion of individuals tasked with making strategic decisions…
Western culture is suppressing it's animal nature and that's creating a dangerous shadow. That's what Friedrich Nietzsche wrote in his first book "The birth of tragedy". I'd love to tell you how to express your animal nature in a healthy way. But I don't know. Here's what I do know; Tragedy was born in theater plays.…
The Indian internet is abuzz with the news of India overtaking UK in GDP terms. Without a doubt, becoming the 5th largest economy in the world is no mean feat and we must be proud. Given where we started and what we've been able to achieve in last 30 odd years, we deserve a pat on the back. A large section of the…
