Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
It’s me…again…here bc I’m wondering what will resonate if/when Twitter really does shift into a place I no longer want to be.
One receives a phone call at 7.30 in the morning. An excited and almost tear jerked voice says they’ve hit water at 32 feet. The borewells in the region are at 780 feet. I can hear the joy in the voice with a slight surprise which is veiled by relief. The city coughs its dry spell in exploited ground waters and lack…
Sabe aqueles momentos um pouco antes de acordar que a gente fica pensando no dia, nas coisas que tem pra fazer, no que vamos comer, se está sol, com quem temos que falar? Pois então, hoje o principal pensamento foi "o que eu vou escrever no nicheless?". E tive várias ideias, o que não é comum. Geralmente eu escrevo…
Ontem, em uma aula do mestrado, me senti burra. Burra, pura e simplesmente. A professora passou um texto do Latour e eu li, reli, traduzi, li de novo e nada. As palavras cairam em um vazio e foram quicando. O tec tec tec pareciam mais interessante do que a próxima frase. Na aula, a professora pouco explicou. Ela fez…
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"…
I noticed a tendency in some of my friends. I judged them. Then, I noticed it within myself. --- We're all convinced that the choices we've made in life are superior to those made by others, especially when it comes to our careers. Doctors believe that the medical profession is the most honorable way to spend a human…
a few days back,an old friend of mine had lost his wife, watching him made me feel the deep pain that greif holds. Yet, i believe it is a beautiful thing and it shows the purity of ones love, so i wrote this short story. Back in the day, in the town of Jasilam, there was a man named Kabir. He was known for his…
Gives me perspectives on How you always work so hard for someone And you gotta be fearless & understand you don’t have any thing that drags you down E: if you don’t love the girl or the guy, it’s okay to let it go - and if you’re on the other side Understand that it’s okay & let it go Kinda in your situation now Just…
Hot pot is like a culinary treasure hunt, with bits of delicious food hidden in a simmering broth, waiting to be discovered and enjoyed. The spiciness mimics the pain of digging, making the reward all the more satisfying. Each bite brings both the heat of the broth and the joy of uncovering something new, blending…
This was a crazy week for Azuki holders. On March 30th, the Azuki team airdropped not just 1, but 2 "Somethings" to each wallet for every Azuki in that wallet. Meaning holding 1 azuki = 2 somethings, and 20 = 40 somethings. A lot of speculation has started on what exactly is in this box that we were airdropped, but…
Lunch is in 20 min, Ill study after lunch Ill have to check this up, Ill study after I finish I have to go to the bathroom, after I start small distractions pile up into a big one and at the end nothing is done. set a time and put all the distractions in another room, sit till the time is up.
A couple of days ago, I was really struggling to come up with ideas for that day's writing challenge. Feeling stuck, I was riding an electric scooter through the nighttime streets to get home. With the rush of wind and the feeling of moving forward, ideas started flowing. I came up with concepts for six different…
Growing up, you've probably had your parents tell you to care about what others think. They want you to be respected by society. But when you shrug it off, thinking, "Who cares?" you're not alone. This "respect and status" stuff may seem old-fashioned to Gen Z, but if you look closer, they're still after something…
讲干话谁不会说? 收买人心 说话技巧 跟逻辑思维 才是王者 Knows peoples intelligence Think of high school - people listens to people like E or outspoken people more Now in adult working life - imagine why you would talk to JJ but not Aug It’s because he’s there for you to listen And people tend to go to the weaker person more if you think about…
People have the habit of writing at the end of a digital document. However, it's a just a behavior carried over from physical world of writing on a paper. You can't come back later and decide to add more paragraphs at the top of a letter you've already written. But in digital documents, there is no such limitation,…
Do you know what is the most common definition of nature? "Nature is the phenomena of the physical world collectively, including plants, animals, the landscape, and other features and products of the earth, as opposed to humans or human creations." A very egoistic and relative definition if you ask me. How about…
I'm so glad that I did not forget today to write. Maybe I should allocate a specific time everyday with a calendar block. I have been taking a class called 'Healing the Younger You' where you identify your behavioural patterns, your trigger responses and everything associated with finding yourself and healing yourself…
What does that even mean? I guess it's good advice if you're naturally eloquent. But what about for those of us that aren't? "Write like you talk" sounds great but even just looking at it on the screen... it looks a bit odd if I'm being honest. Guess I can't knock it until I try it. I have a tendency I inherited from…
Came across a captivating question recently by Nicheless founder Louis on his post "12 questions that captivate me". Can a society with diverse, conflicting values survive? I believe only a society with diverse and conflicting values can survive. Humans follow their desires to pretty much any extreme. If a particular…
Similar or familiar. Like-minded. Something old and new. Wabi Sabi. Perfection. A gift from me to you. Happy memories. Warm fuzzies. Like a nod to the golden. Best friends. Your favourite jumper. Positivity. Feeling eternally soulful. Confidence in dressing. Lace up. Your humble tribe. Where kindness shared, is…
There is a tale of a priest and the dog where tying the dog eventually becomes the ritual but a hollow one. A hollow ritual is a ritual with no essence just like a hollow festival. Most festivals we celebrate are hollow , abstracted from the essence of their origin. What allows this phenomenon to occur is selfishness.…
This is obviously a very easy answer. I will be on my phone. If I happen to have my ear buds with me, I would use them to listen to an audiobook or a podcast. If I didn't have my earbuds or I needed to hear what is going on around me, I would prefer to read some book in my phone's kindle app. Else I would be scrolling…
Why is it so hard to start working out again when I know it’s going to help me feel better? I know it’s going to have a positive impact but it’s still so hard to start
There is only one God, luck. Every individual is more often than not a captive of forces beyond their capacity. Such is the power of luck that it can effectively put hard work, effort and persistence to shame. Helplessness is one of the many brutal emotions known to human kind. For that is when the mind decides to…
AhhA an unexpected result from design presents itself as 'pure' dynamic creation. the next step for many is to panic or deem that design a failure. i like to think of it in terms of post-rationalization. now that design can succeed in a new form to tell more stories...
Today I have improved a lot. I had a totally different mindset, full sage mode – open, curious, positive, creative, empathetic – and it’s crazy how others picked up on it and mirrored it. I participated in many of the sessions, communicated openly about what I needed and wanted, and simply talked to the others instead…
While washing dishes, a splash of cream fell into a plastic tub that had previously contained a meat-based sauce. Instinctively, I winced; this visceral reaction was followed by a brief inquiry into the nature of transgression. Religious Jews, who believe that it is forbidden by divine law to consume meat and dairy in…
Evolution ist nicht zielgerichtet, nicht linear, nicht auf den Menschen hin ausgerichtet. Evolution - was auch immer wir damit meinen - ist chaotisch, ein Prozess, geprägt von Anpassung, Umwelten, Zufall (!) / Mutation, und Selektion. Evolution ist Kultur! Und Zufall, Evolution ist ein Machtspiel und kein Machtspiel.…
Eloise was always a fan of the outlet malls. She'd often come home from a day out with bags of clothes and a giant grin on her face. She'd lay them out on her bed, pointing to each price tag while her husband, Ed, would nod along. "This was 60% off, Ed," she'd say. "Look at this one, Ed, it retails for $400! I got it…
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…
Back to writing again, as I process emotions I've been avoiding for a while. I'm determined to be consistent this time. Last week marked one year since I escaped my abusive family. When I went back home to meet my dad, I was heartbroken to see how much he has aged since the last time I saw him. Despite still loving…
I always carry pieces of the people I’ve lost with me. Lovers, friends and even some strangers. They reside in me. I have never been great at showing emotion or telling people how much they mean to me. But I miss them dearly. Each and everyone who added to my life. Even those from what feels like ages ago. It’s not…
Recently, I've noticed an uptick in conversations around 'content.' Too many creators want to decide what should be called content and what shouldn't. Most comparisons stem from a sense of self-superiority on "the process" one has, before one publishes or creates. The complaint is usually one or the other variations…
we have to realise that us staying with big tech social media is like a double-bind. We do it to stay connected to everyone - which is what most people do - or to reach many people - whilst our bubbles are negotiated by their owners, market logics and power games - power games that are entangled with the global arms…
- tao lin + andy warhol + terence mckenna as Worshipped Rebel Gods - harnessing a type of energy - my fav podcast [i laughed on the bus] - people who give me the feeling of "mm i like that" when they talk about their lives - funneling the energies i like into my life honestly energy is a thing you can touch and see it…
Today I had dinner with the marketing head of a client of mine. We had nice conversations but one thing particularly struck me: How genuinely helpful and supportive she was. In the course of the evening she proactively offered help and support on several topics, without expecting anything in return. I'm always…
How to gain 10 million followers in 6 months? How to earn 10 million dollars in 1 year? Aren't we all in this race to get results instantly? Aren't we guilty of comparing ourselves to others all the time? Your story will always be yours. You can't diminish your sparkle by comparing yourself to others. Because it is a…
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...
Today, I pitched during pitch night by build I felt good, I think I did a good job. I also feel like I was able to contribute very quickly to getting the presentation done, moving and increasing the quality/ funniness of it. Here is how I am trying to make the most out of the build cohort: 1. Meet interesting people,…
some of the first things that i want to read now, before i really start reading a book, is the "about the author" section and i've noticed that it is usually like - birth year - birth place - current place of residence and it's like: why? why is this the info they choose to share? and when talking about artists of any…
Childhood is a magical time. As a parent, I feel pressure to preserve this sanctity for my own children. Of course I could be wrong but I’ve noticed a trend: if there are at least two children in a family, there are two archetypes: a favorite and a performer. The favorite in the family was the one that was, knowingly…
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…
The title sounds cliched, but is so true. My current read, Four Thousand Weeks - Time Management for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman is peppered with gems in the first three chapters. Phrases like Stubborn Gladness, Bright Sadness and Sober Joy jump off the pages. These describe what a cancer survivor feels when they come…
A macher, pronounced with that distinctively Yiddish velar fricative, is the sort of person who could convince you that you need to buy a new lawnmower together with an extended 10-year warranty despite your lack of lawn ownership. A macher knows what you want before you know what you want, and as it turns out, he…
the first thing if you give it more time than it's worth. Try not to be alarmed. It will come back to you.
Estou lendo "A Cidade Solitária: Aventuras na arte de estar sozinho", de Olivia Lang. A leitura tem me absorvido também pelas referências artísticas da autora, que morou uma temporada em Nova York, uma das cidades mais cheias do mundo, mas onde se sentiu terrivelmente sozinha como muita gente se sente nas grandes…
A few days into this exercise of writing daily, I've had a few learnings - I feel most of my decisions that switched things around have been spontaneous. It was the case with taking up this daily writing challenge too. I didn't have topics in mind. I refrain from writing about the things I come across online…
This morning while meditating, one of the many thoughts that popped up was a simple analogy. The appropriate thing to do was to the let the thought pass, but because this was an analogy for the meditation itself, I indulged. If mind is like the ocean, then meditation is like diving The ocean's surface is rough on some…
