Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
- at the group meeting we were going back to the same state for the holidays, bonding over public transport - at the holiday party chatting about vampires (i go on a 10 minute tangent about iwtv); we decide we should hang on 1:1 before declaring each other friends; bit about me being a 206 year old vampire - at the…
There's a famous story of a group of blind men who wanted to know what an elephant was like. These men had heard a lot about this majestic creature, so they travelled together to the king's palace to visit an elephant. Since none of them could see, each man had to use his sense of touch to feel what an elephant was…
I used to think to produce good work, I have to duck my head down, empty myself, fully, so that I could un-become, and just be - right - do the right thing - somehow. I now know that my best bet is to integrate, to align, to face my heart, and yours. My best bet is to take things to their logical conclusion - because…
The first question, without fail, in our capitalist society: what do you do? I meet you for the first time. You always lead with ‘what do you do’? Went to a blogging meetup full of strangers recently. I could tell immediately from the energy and the question re: my work that several people were not from the Pacific…
Be so harsh on yourself Just keep doing the same things you did Don’t overthink thinking that they are talking about Rolex, fashion, or any materialistic topics & you have to join them. If you don’t know then just try to know rather than acting like you know Rather than focusing on the non have - why don’t try to…
comecei a ouvir leonard cohen. que voz visceral, profunda, né? profound. eu entendo poucas palavras soltas. leio enquanto ouço, então é mais sensorial do que inteligível para mim. the last time I saw you, you look someone older. poxa. hoje tive uma conversa com uma colega de trabalho sobre luto. tudo começou porque um…
Do we chase happiness or Do we just chase comfort? Do we enjoy Novelty or Do we just accept self created change? Do we want praise or Do we just want to be accepted by all?
You might be a lifeline in a social setup but lifeless underneath, you have a gallery full of smiling selfies but you don't have one smile for yourself everyday.You have a phone full of contacts but you don't want to dial to any one. When you try to analyse yourselves you come to conclusions like I am an introvert, I…
I am far from a frequent flier. However over the last decade or so, I've taken more than my fair share of flights from Mumbai, Chennai and Bangalore airports. Hyderabad, Goa and Delhi have figured a close second and in third place have been a smattering of flights including to cities like Lucknow, Leh, Indore,…
Estávamos no intervalo do jogo Argentina x França quando meu pai soltou a bomba "Por que será que a sua mãe trocou de nome?". "Como assim trocou de nome?". Eu estranhava o fato da minha mãe ser chamada por um nome diferente do dela quando visitávamos sua família, dois nomes distintos sem qualquer conexão. A minha…
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…
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…
faz tempo que eu não venho aqui. isso não é uma cobrança, tampouco um pedido de desculpas. a vida acontece e os pratinhos vão caindo, normal. desde a minha ultima visita, consegui terminar mais coisas da reforma e trazer mais uma doguinha pra casa. desta vez, a minha dog há 9 anos. incrível como sua jovialidade e…
I genuinely enjoy listening and learning about the person in front of me during conversations. And I want to get better at this. The art of asking the right questions is crucial in this process. It's the easiest way to become more charismatic, as being a great listener and question asker naturally draws people to you.…
People don’t like getting sick, but I do. Getting something like the cold has several stages. First, there’s the feeling that it’s coming. Then you’re actually sick—the low point. After a while, you start getting better. It’s the getting better part that makes me like getting sick. Why is it enjoyable, exactly? You…
hospitals are scary - their cream tinted walls that seem to stretch out infinitely, the clutter of people walking and what seems to be the most terrifying is the occasional stretchers filled with sick people that pass by. you see their faces, their eroded smiles and the only a husk of the person they used to be -…
Im eating a Ferrero rocher chocolate bar (YES THAT EXISTS; at least in italy) and drinking coconut milk (to prevent Alzheimers) The sugar is diminishing the effects, unfortunately, maybe. And I’m watching a short film on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KORZf5JL1hU And it is raining Hit me, inspiration. Just…
Everybody knows that the quickest way to kill a hobby is to turn it into a profession, i.e., to get paid to do it. A hobby is an activity performed for its own sake. The reward is the pleasure derived from performing the activity itself, generally accompanied by some progression of technical or artistic skill over…
If you've read my last post, you know that I've been obsessed with Kanye for the past few weeks. It's pretty much the only thing I listen to and have been greatly inspired by his album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. But yesterday, when I was re-listening to MBDTF for the nth time, I enjoyed it way more than the…
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…
Ahhhh some days are experienced yet sit deep within my subconscious never to be recalled on. today could be one of those days...
Most schools, at least the kind I went to too, are pointless and do more harm than good. People spend about 15 years of their life in schools. During this period, I feel they loose creativity and curiosity. They are taught to compete with peers and learn that failing is a bad thing. They are taught things which are…
space walk two boots on the threshold land below breaking into dust ocean scrubbing air clean as the Earth turns the sun is always rising never resting in one state but the illusion is nice and it’s okay to linger there as long as you’re aware of it
Comecei uma nova série. Landscapers não foi tão legal, viu? Odeio qualquer coisa em preto e branco, me dá preguiça, e frequentemente esse recurso foi usado na série. Me arrastei até o final porque não gosto de coisas inacabadas. Mas!!!! Comecei tokyo vice que tá tirando toda nhaca de Landscapers. Cara, a trilha sonora…
We must know that there's a difference between being free and doing nothing. I'm a type of person who keeps track of things, set reminders, and make to-do lists. These are few of the ways to sort out my fucked-up prioritisation. But there are days, where I've got work to do, targets to complete, goals to fulfil, and I…
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…
For the longest time, whenever I would be asked, "where do you see yourself in 5 years?", my mind would stray away. The beauty of human imagination is that it is unrestricted. A thought is swift enough to traverse wide enough. I would wonder if it is a luxury car, a big house, frequent travelling, ability to lay my…
It is vitally important that you understand this one thing. If you want to achieve your dreams, you must stop chasing them. Here’s why. In nature, things that are chased run. Think about it. What would your instincts tell you to do if someone started running toward you? Run. Be it from them or with them. It’s in our…
I mean I have been saying this on HN for so many years. Again PPC ( Performance Per Clock ) is not the sole factor to consider. A much better method would be Performance per watt over different wattage. The 7840HS is Zen 4 on 4nm while i7-13700H Raptor Lake on Intel 7. Worth noting we expect the first, super wide x86…
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…
did you close your eyes? i miss the old you i know people change but you didn't have to why did you leave? cant you see? it's tearing all apart come back, please i will always wait i will always pray i will try to not lose hope i will love you through our storm
Shephards pie with chicken mince, mini pomfrets on a bed of buttered spinach, pasta with a medley of ''english'' vegetables in a tomato sauce. Green salad with a generous topping of feta. Of course, some very garlicky bread. For dessert a christmas plum cake with fresh cherries in a custard. Topped off with a bottle…
I'm trying to write publicly at the same time authentically At the same time, without the performance pressure of likes, comments, RTs. Seems cool. Seems entertaining. Seems a good cathartic experience. I'm always in search of niching down. Hopefully this one would prove otherwise. I don't have to niche down. I can…
Incidents that have scarred me from Nelson: 1. ITC, telling me to not initiate conversations with guys until they talk to me first 2. Telling me that I should not disagree with him in public multiple times 3. Breaking my glasses because he was angry 4. Telling me wearing a langa voni for my sisters engagement and…
What is it about being drunk that fills you with a sudden zest for life? What is it about being drunk that helps you remember that you love people?
"The Earth’s population at the time of the Rio summit?” 5.5 billion. And now? 8+ billion. - Its 30 years since the first Earth Summit in Rio - “The best time to plant that tree was 30 years ago” - “The next best time is today” looks at the gain vs the gap. Are we further ahead than we might have been? - Can fashion…
Are we ever truly free from the past? Do fresh starts exist or is it just another mind trick that serves more as a consolation than a solution? Maybe consolation itself is a solution when facing hard situations. The mind needs to believe in some reaffirming story, however unreal it may be. Maybe it's all stories like…
Tug of war can be a fun game, except when it's happening in your head, between your focus and your distractions. I cannot sit undistracted doing a tedious work for long, but put on a whole catalogue of good cinema and you will see me infuse into the ground, like becoming a part of the ship in Davy Jones' Flying…
Working in real life construction teaches you people that are working low level jobs (usually labour work) have more technical capabilities in terms of the way they think (programmed to think: how. dimensions in xyz. where and when to get the necessary tools) But the people on the management levels do not necessarily…
Gotta be living the best at every moment. Ang mo vs Asian mentality Do you like yourself at this second? Would you be liking yourself if you were someone else? You don’t need to decrease your energy level to match the same as PS You need to stay focus and be focus Not thinking of something else dirty with her You need…
ahh some ideas initially spark a lot of enthusiasm. now that same idea does not interest me, it lacks substance. the hard question to answer is do i continue to peruse the idea by giving it more substance? only if the idea to better it sparks stronger enthusiasm than the original idea. this would become a totally…
Giving a hand to those who need it without expecting anything creates a domino effect of people that want to help you. A week ago I thought I was gonna be left alone is this country with no one to go to when Im struggling, I was anxious about it, specially because I had to move my bed up 4 floors. During this week, 3…
Storytelling is one of the oldest pastimes. Growing up you look forward to hearing stories from your parents or grandparents. Once we grow up, we enjoy stories through various mediums like books, movies, TV shows, oral accounts, news, etc. This led me to think, what is the best way to experience a story? What would…
There are thousands of self-help books, videos, and podcasts giving me tips on how to be more productive and get more work done. While most of that is bullshit and not really actionable, there are sometimes good pieces of advice that actually make sense and can be applied effectively. However, most of this advice only…
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…
Time has changed but we still fall for things that promise quicker resolutions. We fell for 2 minute Maggi's because it says so and now we are falling for 10 minute deliveries. Same strategy, same trap and we too are falling the same way. Although I have seen some backlash to this new way of deliveries on Twitter. I…
You need someone you can tell everything. I share with my friends. They know a lot about me, but they don’t know everything. You can tell your journal everything. This essay and the next are examples of how I use my journals as a best friend. You may be surprised when your journal gives you an answer. I often clear my…
What enters your mind when you hear ‘the perfect storm’? Negative, unpredictable factors coming together to cause a catastrophe? My friend, Andy Sporring, recently wrote an essay about how a “perfect storm” of events can have negative or positive effects. After reading his essay, I immediately thought of one of my…
