Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
I have always wanted to build a writing habit for the longest time. However a combination of imposter syndrome, unavailability of time, not prioritising writing and fear of my bad content stopped me. A major factor was also the world around me which shared their writing on social media. I was even afraid to create a…
I have always regarded opportunities as rare. Having that mentality does not help in university and, honestly, even in life. I was good at what I did. I am an excellent developer (I study Computer Science). Once people started noticing the quality of my work and the value I charged, the demand for my work increased.…
I've always had a predilicition for writing. While others had debating & mooting in law school, i had writing. Be it formal boorish academic writing or bouncy ridiculous writing. Nicheless perhaps seems ideal owing to its limited word limit which places less onus on me to produce a grand blog piece with characters, an…
Big bosses stick to their final game plan They have a very strong will point Not just putting one foot in And when it’s about business You need to learn how to talk With a very strong will inside your brain Not being affected just because of emotions And other people manipulating you You gotta stand strong of your…
Breathing vast cerulean Crisp cobblestone Remembering when I visited Centuries ago I meet a young girl Full of wonder and ache The world is yours But it will also take Misguidance awaits Learning is painful Something I like to remember When things are blue I breathe and I remember A stunning place In silent November
I'm no more on a streak. Couldn't write yesterday. Nevertheless, the 30-essay series still continues. Today I am writing about productivity - a topic that is beaten to death a million times, every day, day after day. Well, this one is a different. I'm not selling a "I-know-it-all-shoving-it-down-your-throat"…
For the longest time I've had a not so healthy relationship with consuming content. I would feel guilty about watching a show or a movie. One of the major reasons was that I had procrastinated so much on the things I should've done that when it was leisure time, it felt wrong. I felt like I hadn't earned it. Have you…
For about a month now, I’ve been working on writing a novel from an idea I’ve been working out for a few years. While writing a novel is something I’ve always wanted to do it is somewhat daunting. I began writing this story a few years ago as a graphic novel, but found myself discouraged when I couldn’t afford to pay…
Creating positive experiences to share with others is easy. Consider your smile. Everyone wants to experience something that puts a smile on their face. You control your own smile. You can also make others smile. It’s easier than you think. Make a list of what makes you smile. Here are a few things that make me smile.…
To the ones, Laying awake at night, Wondering if you’ll ever find someone. Scrolling through Instagram, Looking through the window of life, And it seems like the Whole world is finding love, You’re happy for them. But there’s a whisper, A doubt, A tiny prick to the heart “Will I ever be as happy as them?” Some of us…
I wanted to save myself from me. It was a horrifying experience where I was so scared of my life that I wanted to end it because all I could hear myself say was that I am not enough. I started chasing money, power, fame. It then reached a point where I wanted to do everything to prove a point to myself that I am…
ahh a text i keep putting off from re-reading "the generic city" by Rem Koolhaas. from memory it speaks of ideas around identity. today i am seeing more conversation around identity from design. in contradiction to identity some designers thrive by removing identity...
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,…
Alright this is the second time in a row that I forgot to write I did not create the time block I talked about.But, no more excuses. I'm doing it right away to remind me everyday to write at 9.30pm. Right now when I'm thinking about what to write here, there are a thousand ideas swimming in my mind. Rather than…
Knowing. Thinking. Believing. In order to know something, we generally have personal experience with it. What I do most often is to think something is or is not. And to think is to trust in someone else’s personal experience or knowledge. So where does belief come in? Is belief even necessary? It often seems like…

The term "mastery" or become a "master" of X skill is being thrown around too lightly in recent years. Seems like everyone who writes marketing copy about an online course or other resource like it enjoys using the term a lot. For most it's not their fault. I agree that it sounds appealing for the user that's reading…
There are almost no obese people in Copenhagen. Most people are obese in Lexington, Kentucky. It is not that people in Lexington are lazier or dumber or more morally flawed than people in Copenhagen. In Lexington, you can't walk anywhere and it's really hard to buy decent food. In Copenhagen, it's hard to buy shitty…
A rule I like to use when deciding how to behave is to imagine myself from another person’s point of view. Would I engage with myself if I saw myself doing that, or being that way? It’s a way to get feedback without needing anybody else, and although not ideal, it’s a good place to start. Recently, I’ve been wanting…
Everything is scripted. Media. Social media. Social circles. Everything is designed to pull emotion from your soul. That unsettled soul feeds the system, runs the power of the show. Our lives as words on a piece of (digital) paper amongst a (digital) reality. We are both the actors and the viewers. Actors desperate…
Start slow. Then whenever you progress you’ll learn along the way to make it the best - that’s also a way of starting: when you start to do, you start to learn as well! Never be afraid of starting. Being procrastinating isn’t going to anywhere. It’s not a good system. It kills you slowly, laying on the bed rather than…
DAY 1/90 - 16:00 My loved ones seem to have reduced hope in me? just feels that way, I cried a lot till I was tired of crying. The atmosphere feels so strange. I am really really broke and will be having only 2 meals this week till my salary gets credited. I am back to feeling pathetic and numb. Gonna to a 3 month…
I know this phase for a long time. But only now did it occur to me, most of the things I wanted, or Future is already here. I just didn't know ( Discovery ) and it is not well distributed ( Distribution ). I.e It is still the same old Discovery and Distribution Problem. How do we solve this? What can we do to help.…
Worry globally, neglect locally.
- playfulness of thought / intellectual playfulness - freedom of thought - privilege of pointlessness
Let me hold you a little longer Let me pretend you're mine to keep Let me tell you " I Love You " ever and forever again.
The self-help genre is the second most addicting substance that is fully legal in the world. In case you’re wondering, coffee is first by a long mile. The self-help industry is worth over 10 billion dollars, and I imagine will continue to grow as we search for more answers on how to improve. We read books and listen…
Not really sure what to write here. Just checking this website out. I'm thinking of using this more if I find it fancy, as I don't really have the habit of writing and I'm sort of thinking about getting into it. Peace out.
How do you convince a community to move to a new platform? Don't disregard ease of use and UI polish. Sites like Mastodon and Counter.Social may have all the functionality that Twitter does, but if they do it's buried under interfaces that seem almost proud of their functional obscurity. You can't get in your users'…
Of a 5 year long relationship, I have continued to focus on a few key incidents that occurred much earlier on, and these incidents have coloured every single thing in our relationship. While I never remembered any of the positives ever again in the future, any of the slightest negatives later had an exponential…
Ahh! sometimes an image is enough to communicate, look at it. what do you read from my mind...
The only constant I have observed in my 21 years of existence is this — no matter how well I sleep at night, it just won't be as good as that nap in the afternoon. I'm a Bengali. And what science suggests is that since Bengalis have a carbohydrate-heavy diet, food that takes long to digest, they're naturally more…
So far so good I suppose, I'm comparing this experience to my micro.blog experience. The "write post" editor is not quite up to my standards and could use some improvement but it works very well. It feels like I'm writing in notepad, and I hate writing in notepad. Maybe I'll come back here and update my post with more…
Today is my last day studying, and I can't seem to find any motivation at all. After a month of studying, doing 20 past exams, revising and revising, and feeling like there's always more to cover, today—on the most important day when I should be pushing through the last mile—I feel done, Im done (not done that I'm…
Call me A.S.J. Just turned 16. Dont expect some Shakespeare words in my blog.I mostly use this like a digital diary when i have a shitty day or im going through smth. My interest -linkin park -cry of fear -afraid of monsters -nu-metal -playing musical instrument (guitar & piano) -video games -midnight -silence -music…
Critics are everywhere. No matter what anyone does, how great of an achievement it is, you will have a set of people waiting to belittle them. It is very easy to be a critic. It takes no courage, no effort and no dedication to say — "Told you so they'd fail". There are people out there who literally wait for others to…
Last week, I embarked on my first unplanned trip in over 8 years. I hopped on a bus, packed lightly and arrived in Kamlapur at 5 AM without a room booked. So I walked away in the opposite direction of the request bombs being dropped on me by persistent auto-drivers. I wanted to search a cheap homestay but fear of few…

Hoje, tomando um sorvete da cangote, na Santa Cecília, em São Paulo, eu vi o Pedro Bial! Ele vestia um moletom cinza e um chinelo havaianas preto na conta do pé dele. São Paulo é assim. Você está andando e bum! Um famoso. Ele só pagou, pegou o sorvete e foi embora em seu volvo. Não olhou prós lados, não deu chances de…
Has any man ever responded positively to a woman offering unsolicited astrological information?
Remember the childhood tale about an emperor wearing invisible clothes but, in truth, was naked? His Council of Ministers and the kingdom did not tell him because they feared his wrath. But, it was a child who laughed and said, "the Emperor has no clothes." Now place yourself in the shoes of the Emperor's Prime…
I usually listen to music on YouTube (and think YouTube premium is rather underrated). I particularly like to watch musicians in their natural state and not 'performing'. Radio station interviews/ broadcasts are a standard fixture. A couple of days ago, I stumbled upon a Tiny Desk Concert by Alicia Keys on NPR. She…
i've been doing this: (1) reading until my brain can't take any more words [currently reading fitzgerald and thomas bernhard; loving both] (2) music a lot of music (3) write repeat that's my fun routine. my unfun routine is boat work. ha.
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…
Spoilers ahead! Joy/Jobu, a character I resonated with after a long time. The anguish, lost mind, unheard sobs, hopeless eyes and whatever she was made of. I was feeling nothing like her. I felt it when she said "If Nothing Matters, Then All The Pain And Guilt You Feel For Making Nothing Of Your Life Goes Away." The…
recentemente, recebi a notícia de que estava com uma infecção em decorrencia de um corpo estranho no meu corpito tão territorialista e fechado. toma-lhe dez dias de antibiótico. nesse meio tempo, viajei pro mato grosso, ponto central do brasil, para um evento sobre sementes. uma loucura de calor na rua + frio nos…
I am a sucker for new (mostly productivity) apps. Tell me about your latest notes revolution, or calendar, or browser/whiteboard, and I just have to try it. I’m seeking that elusive optimal productivity, while ironically wasting time farting around with the tools rather than actually creating. I’ve noticed this…
It has occurred to me several times in the past. I feel like expressing it to a friend of the opposite gender. It is the feeling of polyamory - it is not about just sex, it is about having conversations, it is about being available to listen and share with each other. I felt like calling the friend and asking to meet…
