Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
To be successful in life one must have good friends. After the unlimited use of internet and social media by our generation. We have divided our friends in different categories and using them that category wise. We might not know that but indirectly we have categorised friends. Aristotle distinguishes three types of…
I think it will be weird and will take some time to get used to the two of them dating. I’ll need some time to recalibrate This will be such different roles from what I’m used to seeing. And maybe I’ll just have a lot of difficulty getting used to seeing Nelson being treated with respect and love. Seeing Shivani being…
Today was a day with many little frustrations. Nothing worked out the way I hoped for. What frustrated me the most though, was how much this affected my mood negatively. I want to get better at decoupling my mood and view of the world from external factors. Why not just be happy in the moment, no matter what.
A boy with dyed hair wearing a skirt and a pink backpack. Unsecured panels on the walls expose bare wires. Toilet paper stuffed into holes, trash scattered on the floor, fading upholstery. The electronic display is non-functional; only a sheet of paper with the line number scrawled in Sharpie taped to the windshield…
Here's an idea. Record player Pomodoro timer. I'm sure you've heard of the Pomodoro productivity technique where you do deep work for 25 minutes, then take a 5 minute break, then back to 25 minutes of deep work. You repeat this rhythm for your allotted time, until you get the project done, etc. It allows for a good…
Feel the pain. Look for the silver lining. Feed a distraction. Journal the thoughts. Blame not yourself. Think of the other times you’ve gotten over things. This too shall pass.
Eu demorei tanto tempo pra voltar aqui que tive que logar novamente. Depois da morte da Glória Maria passei uns dias derrubada, e não apenas por isso, que por si só já é uma grande coisa. Lembro que fui com um crush comer Burger King e não consegui me concentrar em nada do que ele dizia sobre divisão de contas em date…
ahh AI text to image generation tools that are hot topic recently are pushing the boundary of how we can create and iterate. exploring vocabulary and visuals is an interesting topic. its like a new form of poetry. just like centuries ago, there will be many poets but not so many famous poems. i imagine what this new…
Therein lies comfort in the anguish of avoiding one’s true potential. Some of the most destructive lies we tell are told in silence—in the vastness of our own minds, where the stage is set and the seats are filled by a public of one. There, beneath the noise, we rehearse our excuses like monologues, perfect our…
Recently built my first kit guitar! Really happy with how this one turned out. After years of fixing up cheap guitars I was ready to build one of my own. Picked the kit up as a local guitar show and finished it in about a week. I also picked up a Harley Benton Tele Style guitar a few days before the show. It had a…
Is almost the end of the year and FOR SOME UNGODLY reason I was assigned 4 different projects, 1 art, 1 science and 2 history. the history ones I got to do alone but a wasn't as lucky with the other two. The science one SUCKEDDDD so bad. im failing I already know it. Arts easy but still, Why so many projects????
Being more with my thoughts, I have come to a realisation how the entire world functions. We want instant results so much that companies have built a business model around it. Consumers don't realise the downside of this. Yes, it has made building things easier but at a cost of short span, short goals and living life…
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…
Governments the world over, want to be able to exert better control over Twitter. So far their only options have been to enact laws that compel the company to shape its behavior in particular ways. But Twitter is a global company that has to abide by the laws and regulations of all the countries in which it operates.…
One of the surprising facts I learns was that YouTube are now doing up to 2Mbps H.264 Video for 1080P content. And the quality is quite impressive for Internet Video. And the world doesn't seems to want to save bandwidth from Audio Codec, vast majority of it are using 256Kbps AAC / Opus rather than 128Kbps. As…
Today, while I was stuck in a traffic jam, I saw a car throw something out the window. At first, I didn’t think much of it, but as I got closer, I realized it was trash—a can of beer. My mind started to explode with questions and thoughts: Why didn’t that person save the trash until they got home to throw it away? Why…
I am a crow widow. Tonight the crows took my wife from me. I knew this day was coming. They called to her for months, drew her with shiny gifts. And she courted them too, attracted by their intellect, the prehistoric tilt of their heads. She was always too good for me. I knew that from the start. But I never imagined…
Seriously? It makes me cringe when I hear people say this re: political violence, insurrectionism, or far-right extremism. I mean, I was watching TV on January 6th just like you were. Pretty clearly, that was us. Here's the thing: That's always been us, at least in part. We've always been more than one people. What's…
Today we had a lawyer friend of my dad and his 19 year old son who is about to study law visiting. In our conversation we started discussing AI and the future. This not only highlighted my deep immersion in the tech world but also surprised and somewhat triggered me by seeing once again just how naive some educated…
As far as I know there are two types of hotels in New York. There are the ones I go to now, using an app that shows me good deals for luxe stays based on daily vacancies. These places are modern, well-appointed, display vintage claptrap in the lobby, and feel like Wes Anderson movie sets. The bar has some kid with a…
Somewhat comically, Nicheless has found a couple of niches of its own. (1) Content creators who use it to publish content outside their niche. (2) Other creative people who use it as a low pressure environment to publish their thoughts. Besides copious amounts of gratitude towards early adopters, my mind is filled…
I recently read an article by my fav blogger/idol/human Lawrence on finality of everything (look it up, it's a gem). Here's an excerpt from that- 'Understanding the finality of everything brings a clarity that only a wiser version of myself can see. If I know that one day I’ll long for the very things I routinely…
Some people move through life like furniture, always there, but never holding weight. Their presence hums with borrowed purpose. They exist best in reflected light, speaking loud in rooms that forgive forgetfulness. You start to notice the soft betrayals: the delayed reply dressed as distraction, the listening that…
I received the death news of a close relative today. For a moment I was speechless as the end of life has been the single most mysterious truth for me. It's the ultimate inevitability that makes life so precious. We acquire all the survival skills in the journey of life to meet death one day. It's also the ultimate…
This emptiness I feel. Every song I hear leads me back to you. I want to get you off my mind. Trust me I'm trying. The romance was short but the feeling is strong. Maybe it's for the best. Maybe I missed an angel. Maybe I dodged a bullet. I can't say. You should be my queen. It feels right to have you adorn that…
It's not nostalgia. It's not missing someone or some place. But it still stings the same. This winter has sent me to miss what I'll call "The Feeling". The Feeling is warm and cozy. The Feeling is like a lovely conversation over a cup of tea. The Feeling could last forever. The Feeling is the little things. The…
Monsoon, a season of rains. Its brings with itself a celebration, A season when you feel relaxed just with the sound of pitter patter when it hits the ground. A season of treat to watch peacock dance A season when the air is ripe with the earthy smell which feels so divine. A season that teach the art of letting go…
Everyone loves trees. Planting a tree is universally positive and wholesome. It invokes an image of care and nurture. Hands full of dirt, investing in the promise of a green, fruitful future. Add to this picture, a 2019 study published in Nature claiming that planting a trillion trees could capture a third of the…
6h da manhã e ainda estou bêbada de chandon e tendo uma jornada aqui no vaso da casa de praia. Meu cunhado casou ontem e eu adoro casamentos, mesmo odiando. É de uma contradição, mas explico. Adoro pela vibe das pessoas, todo mundo se arruma e obrigatoriamente fica feliz. É bom pra rever gente legal também e dançar…
Às vezes ela chega sorrateira, se acomoda como se estivesse na sua própria casa e vai ocupando cada espaço... quando nos damos conta, ela está toda esparramada, tomando conta do lugar como se fosse dela. Você tenta expulsá-la, mas ela bate o pé e fica. É destemida a ponto de começar a mandar na casa. Não te deixa…
Hello! Lets talk about inhibitions and hurdles in taming the day. As someone who has tried almost every trick to stay on track and create a routine and series of habits that help me in navigating life as I see fit. Here are my observations: 1. Diligence is key, identifying action items and getting started is simple…
A student made a comment in class about "planting the bomb." His teacher asked what he meant, to which he responded by making fart noises. The teacher reported him to admin, admin called the police, and the police hauled the boy off and detained him for making a bomb threat at school. This is a real story from a…
Usually, I love trying new tech products. But this month, I've avoided the shiniest new AI Agentic browsers: Perplexity's Comet and OpenAI's ChatGPT Atlas. I'm sure they are great products. But something about them doesn't sit right with me. So I asked myself: Why? Upon introspection, here are 3 things I discovered:…
I have written my 7th July journal! It is a super long ass bitching session where I complain about every single fight I have had with Musti this week. Also, hello. Today is a monumental day - because today is the day I put in my papers at McKinsey. I have sent it out, guys. I don't have another job offer in hand, but…
I really, really tought that I was above all this situation. That I left all in the past and moved on. That I, as a grow up human been, got my shit together and solved my problems by myself and. But now it came back. It looks like a tsunami in my head and in my chest. A tsunami AND a thunderstorm. AND a earthquake.…
To honor your mother and father is not to obey what they say, to honor your mother and father is to respect them.
Comecei uma nova série. New girl estava na minha lista ha anos. Eu conheço a atriz que interpreta Jess como cantora. Então, está sendo legal ver ela nesse papel de comédia também. Olhos grandes e azuis. Claro, a série tem uma vibe meio pick me girl. Meio "nossa como eu sou estranha e preciso da aprovação desses…

Coming back to a country that never felt like home. Every time I come back to Chile at immigration, I watch as the officer speaks Spanish to the non-Asian person in front of me, then switches to English when he realizes that that person doesn’t understand Spanish. When it’s my turn, the officer immediately addresses…
Also, given I am at a distance now, can I give him the credit he deserves for the effort that he put in to fix it? Can I slowly let this ghost of 2017 Nelson lose power over me so that I can gain inner peace? Can I forgive? I am a very vengeful person, and I know I have felt like "I want Nelson to suffer for what he…
Today I had a goodbye dinner with my parents at a nice restaurant, before leaving for San Francisco tomorrow. It was the same restaurant where we have been for a goodbye dinner nearly exactly two years ago, before I left for my exchange semester to Taiwan. It felt melancholic to have a similar moment again. And it…
When I was a kid, when guests come home, I would be so painfully shy, to go and just lock myself in the other room. I couldn't understand why my parents were angry and upset with my behaviour, i just liked to be by myself. My son does the same thing what I was as a child, when guests come, he runs away of recedes into…
i'm starting to look down on people who don't read but at the same time i'm starting to worry if i'm reading too much? i wonder if i'm missing out on living my REAL life whilst i read about people living theirs i have a whole fucking routine of reading. (1) reading a rotating lineup of books but also looking for new…
(original: 14 Jan 2006) Welcome to my relocation rants & raves! Hello! FIRST TIME BLOGGER and BUSINESS OWNER ... This is my first blog mainly for those interested in my relocation planning and activities from San Diego to the Bay Area. (And I'm sure it will contribute to my tendency to procrastinate and provide an…
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…
Two weeks of grieving and feeling like a zombie walking through time and space. Trying to slowly get back to my normal self but, still its WIP. I feel looking back, this heartbreak was very necessary. Shows that I did end up being needy at the end of the day but I had a lot on my plate as well. Makes sense to not be…
this is a personal note, nothing wise. I consider myself to be a very disciplined and wise person for my age. but there are moments where I feel, where is this wisdom even leading me to. all the people I know do cool stuff and living just amazingly. how to make sure that what I'm doing, excluding myself from every fun…
“we have survived so many fires, i can no longer tell if we are alive or simply burning.” — Pavana Reddy Letting go is difficult. Of people, dreams or your old self. People who need help often look a lot like people who don’t need help. They seem in control, always with a positive word. Everyone we come across has…
