Overwhelmed
Tons of people Tons of things to do Tons of places With all this, I just go into a very extrovert personality to protect myself

Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.

What is Life? if we were to die one day, And what is Life? if we're gonna live forever.
“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”…
I do like the restraint. I do enjoy the anonymity. I do love writing. Think I’ll stay and play a while.
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
As a positive person, I still have a strong Eeyore characteristic. I have doubts. You seldom hear me express this side of my personality. Acting positive and confident follows the belief that you should act like you want to be. So I appear to have a positive outlook. Which, of course, I do have, except for when I…
At the end of our stay at a pleasant inn last year, I wanted to tip the room staff. I didn't have any cash, there was no on-prem ATM, and hotel was in the middle of nowhere. I had an idea: why not place placards or cards in the rooms at the end of a stay that would allow guests to tip via Venmo, Cash App, or some…
i’ve been rejected so many times in the last year or so. Countless job apps, applied to accelerators for funding, no nothing in return, even reached out to contacts. Nope. Gotten kinda numb these days. Must not lose hope. Maybe better days are ahead..
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…
Okay, sometimes it's for the coffee. But most times, it's for the Starbucks experience. I know that the moment I step into a Starbucks, I'm going to be enveloped by that amazing coffee scent. I know that I can sit there for a couple of hours with my laptop and some good wifi. I know that a "Java chip for Aishwarya"…
You can tell a lot about someone by the contents of their fridge. My fridge was mostly empty, some condiments and take out on a shelf and some stale vegetables at the bottom. I won't bore you with bullshit excuses about why I wasn't looking after myself. The worse part was the social dimension. Eating is as much a…
What is the goal of a human life? We are on this planet for 100 years at best and of those 100 years a part at the beginning and a part at the end will not be productive. So we only have limited time available to us. Within this limited time we build structures and systems in place to create, build and live on this…
Sometimes I fantasise about living a slower life. At the moment, my default mode is to be doing something all the time. I don't force it. It's just how I've been for the past couple of years. Always building, reading, writing, working. I haven't had a proper weekend off in months. Maybe in over a year. I don't dislike…
It's been 12 days since my last writing exercise and it hasn't been time misspent. I and the wife went down to Jamaica to the South Coast Sandals resort which was all inclusive and absolutely awesome. Lots of night time eating, sushi all day, and i even learned to sail. I was really sad to see the state of affairs in…
When reading a blog article by Alex West, I stumbled upon this paragraph: "You may be the hero of your own movie, but in everyone else's you are nothing but an extra. You appear and flash on their screen for an instant, and then you're gone forever. No one cares about you. And that thought is liberating. It allows you…
Hoje uma amiga querida me deu apoio em duas situações. Uma sobre um caso que ela sabia e outro que ela não fazia ideia. O caso que ela sabia diz respeito a falar inglês. Com anos de estudo, eu consigo entender 80% do que falam, escrever bem, mas a fala ainda arrasta numa performance medíocre. Hoje, especificamente,…
I read a fascinating essay about the role of imagination in expanding human experience and how actors are a conduit for the audience to travel through the art they are witnessing. That's loosely the inspiration for this post, although you will find it to be slightly different. Plato viewed the power of imagination, or…
One of the biggest productivity “hacks” that doesn’t get the attention it deserves is time blocking. Cal Newport has been detailing the benefits of time blocking for years. He even built a planner around it. If you are not currently managing your busy life with a calendar (any calendar!) then I cannot understand how…
Species, amongst other things, are defined by their niche. The environment they interact with defines the trajectory of their evolution. You notice a tradeoff between specialization and flexible adaptability. Typically, to dominate a particular niche, a species must specialize. The Environment Confines and Refines.…
You can be successful by doing things NOW you laze on bed you only "improve" on your lazy skills meanwhile eventhough you are tired and you still push you will get used to it eventually believe in the power of momentum and the power of habits good habits if you just START things will eventually change don't need to…
i took a nap under the premise of "meditation" and as i laid there i thought: "oh yes is this what meditation is? oh yes it is very pleasant. is it like a dumping out of all the thoughts i'm having? not trying to think but just letting it all out so i can have a clear mind? oh yes it is so nice oh yes i like this so…
There many vivid memories and stories that tie me to the monsoons. Growing up in Bandra, swimming regularly at a Club in Khar and going to a school in Santacruz, I am confident that I experienced monsoon in its full glory just by virtue of growing up in these neighborhoods. Early adult life, living in Cuffe Parade…
The protests in India, which began mid June under the label of CJP or Cockroach Janta Party, took a life of its own when Gen Z made their aspirations known on social media using instagram in full force. This combination of youth, frustration, joblessness, directionless leadership and a bleak future was a recipe for…
Today's 14th Feb, 2023. I'm 10 days away from turning 25. I watched a 40 min yt vid about a college senior's coming out story. I didn't know him, he was a friend of a friend. He seemed pretty sorted from the distance, hence the struggles he talked about in the video made me wonder how much more there is than meets the…
Olha. Ainda estou internada. E assim, não sai da minha cabeça o funk puta rica, puta mexicana. Eu não consigo parar de cantar isso e já está me irritando, apesar de engraçado. Não é uma música que eu ouço, mas tava no Twitter e apareceu um cara cujo nome é Xurrasquinho (daí você vê kkkkk) dançando ela. Desde então,…
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…
Coming from a small village, it was pretty uncommon to hear people discuss things like wealth, assets, capital etc growing up. It was very strange and unsettling when I met teens from Mumbai. Many of them seemed miles ahead in their business vocabulary and had a strong sense of business more than most of the "biz men"…
i was reading her lyrics and thought words like that are very bookish and it turns out she's an avid reader!! apparently she likes to go to big sur to read in peace relatable i escaped to monterey once when i felt that i couldn't make sense of my life, and it gave me all the magic i needed anyway now i wanna read…
Alright, guess the calendar block did not help at all. Let me not bore you with the details of inconsistency. But one of the reason why I start with this is because all around me in social media, everyone seemingly makes habit building a really easy task to achieve. I really want to put my genuine self of struggling…
If you want to say no It’s the art of persuasion And say NO Everybody has plans And it’s okay to say NO But you need to do it with confidence Not like NPC (like PS) and having that monotone level of energy Because energetic people will want to go out They do not want to stay home and they have reasons to not go with…
I stuck with the same hair colour throughout 2022. I started my new year continuing with petty thoughts. I basically saw an insta post of S, which said she was “serving looks”. And all I could think of was “can’t believe N is allowing you to dress up well and not feel bad about it” I have very very uncharitable angry…
What happens when your environment does not match your needs? As our need for food and safety is fulfilled, a new void opens up. The need for love and connection. This is where we start noticing other aspects of our environment. A friend, a beautiful lady in the street, a like on a post.. Our environment is the same,…
I'm someone who feels FOMO not about the parties I'm not going to but about the things I'm not doing, the hobbies I haven't tried out, the books on my TBR/ I'm someone who feels sick in the stomach just thinking about conflict, and would do anything to not feel that way/ I'm someone who's on cloud 9 when I find an…
Aqui em São Paulo tem uma padaria chamada olivier. É de um apresentador e chef famosinho e, sinceramente, vale o hype. Eu, que gosto de coisa boa, não resisti. No final do ano, convenci cinco amigas do trabalho a irem lá comigo para um cafézinho de finalização do ano. Chegamos, sentamos e eu e mais uma das meninas…
You’re either making it - making change in the world Or you’re just living the game If it’s too heavy; forget about the past and the future - just carry the present The best skilled people knows that skills comes with discomfort; and only by persevering in discomfort you’re able to gain skills The best is actually…
Everyone is talking about moats being dead. If something is easy to build, anyone can build it. I don't know what my opinion is. I feel like I don't have time to think about it. Or maybe I don't really care, because building products online feels like play to me, not a job. For Nicheless, perhaps if it had a network…
Friendly reminder to save your amazing ideas before they disappear into the void. Find a note app you love, or go old school with a note pad. Simple pen and paper. Write your ideas down right when you think of them. Review them daily. Don't forget to take action. Let your ideas live. Don't let them die on the page.…
There's a lot to learn from watching an ice skating class. Let me paint a picture so you can imagine what I see. A big round ice rink with about 50 people with varying levels of skill. There some who skate as if this were the Olympics and there others who resemble penguins trying to maintain their balance. You have…
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.
Play the cards you are dealt with! All my life, I have constantly compared myself to others and then made a decision. It's after a long period of time that I have developed an understanding that no one will ever have the same experiences the way you do. If you wish you were Ambani's son/daughter today and presented…
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…
I started writing around 2016. So its been about 6 years now, roughly. I started writing when I was a frustrated, depressed and angry college student. Writing saved me. If I hadn't put pen to paper, I don't know what would have happened to me. It feels like I am in a similar place in life now. Where I feel the need to…
A while back at a public event, I saw a guy with a shirt that had a design with those words (it was a cool design btw). It was one of those moments that you are like "ohhh, cool shirt" and that's it. But the phrase got stuck in my head, so much so that later on, I wrote a note on my cellphone. With everything I've…
“Jesus knew at once that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and said, ‘Who touched my clothes?’” Mark 5.30. The woman cured by Jesus could not remain anonymous. Nor can we, once we have touched the saving power of Christ’s blood, remain quiet. MORE: Whether it be shame, or fear, or selfishness,…
There’s a quick way to find your talent short cut. Do the actual hard work not the societal pressure (means thinking hard and giving high standards to yourself) Once you got there you’ll have so many things you can do - and you have that “do it now mentality” same as “enjoy it now not later” Do more and reap the…
I look around and wonder, how many of us really upskill our selves for the whole sake of upskilling Or learning a new subject or a topic? Most of us are busy doing the same mundane job everyday, without even thinking what use is this to me and what value I am adding to my life with this job. We are all here just for…
It's the first week back at my job after a two week vacation. I had a nice Monday: no meetings, just checking email, code reviews. Then, on Tuesday, the onslaught begins. Meetings, meetings, Slack, distractions, multiple threads, dropping balls all over the place. Feeling dumb. Here we go again. I got some feedback…
Estou lendo "A cidade solitária", de Olivia Laing, em que a autora se muda para Nova York e passa a habitar a solidão. Ela escreve "Comecei a perceber que a solidão era um lugar povoado: uma cidade em si mesma." Para discorrer sobre o tema, Laing se cerca de artistas que viveram na mesma cidade tendo a solidão como…
