Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
Our world is shaped by shared myths What is a shared myth anyway? Shared myths are things which has zero or near zero intrinsic value by itself.Its value is provided by the people believing in them.They lose their value if everyone stops believing Most people do things for Pleasure,Money & Religion Money does not have…
Once again, I‘ve noticed that there is literally no reason to not share ideas. Even if they are very rough, early-stage. The idea itself is worthless, so nothing to hide there. But sharing it with other people helps a lot in gaining clarity, getting inspiration, and learning more about it.
Dear Habibti, Nobody knows tomorrow. We might get back together, or we might not. We might get married, or we might not. But I just want you to know that I have never felt the kind of oneness I felt with you with anyone before. You are special to me. I love you and I always will.
"Write what you know" suggests you already have starting material for saying something. As you begin to write what you know, hopefully you also begin to see what you don't know. So you do some research, re-evaluate what you know, and re-commence with your writing. The inverse is true, too. What you know is revealed in…
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…
I’m sitting in a cabin in Port Austin, Michigan, the very tip of the thumb. I woke up to the sounds of the lake, small waves crashing ashore beneath our back porch. Every few seconds, another crash. I could feel my body sway with the tide as it crashed in and rolled out, crashed and rolled, crashed and rolled. My…
When I came back home, I naturally established a routine. I would wake up when my body wanted to (around 8 to 9 am), make breakfast, and study. After that, I would go out if needed or have lunch at home, then study again and go for a run (if it was a workout day). In the evening, after dinner, I would sit down with my…
it's better to spend time alone than to be bored by people. after the norwegians left, i haven't really enjoyed hanging out with other people our age because all they want to talk about is BOAT PROJECTS and i sit there thinking about how they're wasting my time and how i wish i could go read and write but when you're…
ahhh as i continue AI text to image generation it makes me think about how it relates to the overarching narrative of art. the closest movement would be surrealism with the goal to release the creative potential of the unconscious mind. now with less barrier to creation, the content within one's mind can now be…
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…
Vi o termo na newsletter da Bárbara e parece ir ao encontro do que me propus ontem. Só escrever. Cheguei em Loppiano na terça-feira e desde então tenho evitado socializar. Voltar pra cá e reencontrar a não completa liberdade e o empenho da vida em comunidade pede alguns dias de costume. Foram dias mais retraída mas…
the startling, borderline terrifying -- yet strangely comforting in its reassurance of purpose -- ephiphany: this is FOREVER, this writing gig, this cook & tell revival. like the jarring middle-of-the-night realization in early sobriety. and then, as it did almost a quarter century ago, the universe gave a little…
in philosophy, epoche is a method to completely isolate our perception from preconceived notions about it. it's bare thoughts, unpolluted by judgement, bias, prejudice. the truth takes birth here, and then it is distorted by our imposition of existing confirmational bias on it. if the core truth is absolute (there…
I strongly believe that three engineers in one room can accomplish far more than six engineers working remotely. This isn’t just about communication bottlenecks—it goes deeper than that. I've been working from home for ten months now, a significant shift after spending nine years in an office with my colleagues. Even…
I picture existence as a film reel with infinite frames. All big bangs, everything that was and everything that will be, are captured on those frames. One flawless complete existence, Nature. Nature is intelligent and curious. It wants to know itself and experience every frame of that film, which is it. How does…
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…
Karena merupakan hal paling rasional untuk dilakukan, jika menggunakan sistem keuangan saat ini. Yang dikenal dengan istilah "FIAT currency". Uang fiat adalah mata uang keluaran pemerintah yang tidak didukung oleh komoditas fisik, seperti emas atau perak. Salah satu kekurangan uang fiat adalah inflasi. Bank Indonesia…
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…
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'm 2 weeks away from finishing my final placement of medical school. 6 years of studying are nearly complete and it feels strange. I already have a substack but I love the idea of being nicheless. Although I've called this 'thejuniordoctor', I'm not sure it will solely be writing about the profession I'm going into.…
In LYT, a question posed was exploring whether folks lack interest in publishing. Part of the context was one's possible tendency to focus too much on expressing one's self to one's self. Here's my abridged/edited response. --- I don't know if there is a right or wrong approach about one's publishing process. I face a…
OK. Here's my attempt at using nicheless. What I like: + The minimalistic UI + No-fluff usability; even lack of formatting! + Lack of media and all that comes with it Few questions though + Would it help increase my writing? Is there less pressure due to the smaller word limit? Can I aim for a post a week? + Would it…
I am writing bits and pieces of content since 8th class. First they were rewritten stories that I read or heard or my own addition or subtraction from it. Then, when I observed writing poems means you can become popular in school bus, I started writing those. But, even if I wanted to write half decent poems, they…
Many eloquent words will have been spoken and written around the world today about this tragic day in Liverpool FC's history. Best just to use those of Rodgers and Hammerstein here. When you walk through a storm Hold your head up high And don't be afraid of the dark At the end of a storm There's a golden sky And the…
We're all busy beings. Gotta do this. Gonna make that. Stuff on my plate. Things on my list. Then there's the stuff we want to do but can't seem to get together. A little more movement. Deeper sleep. Sorting that room out in the back. Putting some time into the garden. Finishing that book. All the shoulds. Languishing…

i realize i've attributed the idea of nostalgia to a negative form of idyllic memory. like the only difference between memory and nostalgia is that wistful and picturesque filter we view our own memories through. i didn't think it was possible to look back on unhappy times through the lens of nostalgia without…
In late October 1983, Dad handed me 2 tickets for India-West Indies at Feroz Shah Kotla. Back then, watching live Test cricket was the pinnacle of entertainment for most teenage boys. "Take Nishit and go after school". Original intentions were noble. A change of clothes went into the school bag (didn't want the…
Today I officially logged out of Facebook. I do not have the app on my phone and just use Chrome to doom scroll. Today, I just had enough. I catch myself doing it all the time. Its like I naturally gravitate to it, my thumb's natural navigation. Even if I fill that time spent elsewhere on social media, at least it…
People study for many different reasons, be that exams, getting a new job, or getting into a university. However, what we often miss is the end goal, the big picture, if you will. If we do not keep that in mind, then studying becomes meaningless and spirals into an unhealthy aspect of your life. But first, what is the…
I will miss her. She listened to me. She made me feel intelligent. Slowly she grew on me. I loved her drive and intelligence. She was colorful. She shone in the crowd. I fell in love slowly, then all at once. But she broke my heart, she ghosted and she left. I thought we could build a lot of things today. I wanted her…
I hope this is free and online forever because you know we've been burned many times. And we never got rich from all the time we spent on the Internet.
You’re likely familiar with the rebuke to “be present!” wielded whenever someone draws for their camera or smartphone during a dinner or a vacation. Think about how many people you know who “hate Instagram” because it’s “so fake.” Granted, between the daily Starbucks chroniclers, new human/ plant/ pet parents, sunset…
I'm cooking pasta al ragù and it's going fairly well. It's not my first time, everybody is happy when I make it, everybody seems to love it. I'm not a great cook and not a stickler for detail. I'm currently stirring the sauce in the pan and at the same time stirring the noodles in the pasta pot, I'm doing it with the…
Do not keep on writing - but rather start to apply. Writing and planning and motivating is all “prenups and getting ready and warmups” There is no such thing is exactly getting ready You just have to play and start the game that’s all Don’t strive for being ready That applies from: - sending that email going for…
My initial reaction was to hammer out an email to put my new financial advisor in his place. I took a deep breath. I needed to get home to my journal to gain clarity. Before I began journaling daily other extreme emotions caused extreme reactions. I struggled to contain my immediate response, even those I might…
In the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, the tech industry made two inferences that broadly informed strategy: - Software is now going to eat the world at a massively increased rate - Many people now like to work remotely and have a better work/life balance The industry accepted this as a package deal: fine,…
All human organizations are hierarchical. Decision-making is concentrated near the top of the hierarchy. One can conceptualize the organization as a complex function whose input is information, which flows upward into the decision-making strata of the hierarchy, and whose output is power, which subsequently flows…
Sean Strickland has shocked the world. Last night he became the new UFC Middleweight Champion of the World by beating Israel Adesanya in Sydney, Australia. Both fighters are quite the characters with totally different fighting styles. Strickland stuck to his guns and damn near ended the fight in the first round with a…
Que mágico é saber cozinhar. Recentemente, fizeram pra mim um arroz delicioso! No estilo cozinhar com o que tem, a pessoa pegou da geladeira uma alcaparra que estava paradinha tinha tempo, pimentão verde, cebola, lentilha e tomate. Com certeza tinha outras coisas também, mas essas foram as que eu mais notei. A…
Muita coisa acontece fora do nosso controle, começando pelo nascimento. Como todo respeito a quem acredita, eu não consigo aceitar que escolhemos voltar ao mundo para resolver picuinhas de vidas passadas. Não acredito que a gente escolhe "vou ir no útero dessa pessoa e não daquela". É tudo aleatório, na minha opinião,…
Fear of the future Fear of the past Never living Meaning Love Regret Always hoping Fear of losing Fear of the unknown
então, eu posso ter demorado imensamente, mas voltei! e só finalizo esse blog quando atingir 365 posts. ontem eu assisti incompatível com a vida e chorei... chorei por ter me visto me despedindo, cantando, dançando, gritando, desguando sobretudo. pode sair, tá tudo bem. também pandemia. também ecos. também vômitos de…
"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…
To refer to a phenomenon or quantity as being deficient implies that there is some proper amount one might expect to have. A gas tank that is three-quarters empty, for example, would rightly be considered deficient if our destination were two hundred miles away; a "gasoline deficit," as it were. It would be just as…
Just saw though - from a dying 23 yo patient His last ideal was to bring his kindness and love to everyone around him And he hoped to be remembered from that Because when I was poor I was not in the right state of mind My mind was abit evil and selfish I didn’t want to spend time with my ex because I wanted to focus…
Les dates se confondent ; les jours sont les mêmes. Je me réveille un matin pour réaliser que trois mois sont passés. Mes repères temporels ne suffisent pas à sauver ma pauvre horloge interne. Je vis des journées de trente heures suivies de nuits de dix-huit heures. Ce rythme de vie fut fatal à ma notion du temps,…
Do you rest by moving to territory that isn’t challenging you? Sit on the couch so you’re not physically challenged, eat familiar foods so you’re not sensory challenging, binge netflix so that you’re not mentally challenged. Or do you rest by expanding the comfortable territory until it contains where your current…
