Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
AHH the context to what we have built in the past differs to what exists today. so why is there heavy emphasis on relating architecture to the context of 'now' when the possibility of that to change is guaranteed? if architecture design is void of context will the character to a city become more rich? big questions…
Guy who wears suit Or try to impress everyone everyday at uni Thinking of life What did they turn out to be? Did they follow the system or they started something else for themselves as well? Do I actually want to just show my face to work? Ideas are forged - not created. Work on it and start day by day - and you…
There are moments that we don't really feel proud of, moments or decisions that come as an reaction to something, for example, responding in a certain way, with a certain tone of voice, but it just comes out of us. These moments as well as many other might it be good or bad experiences and reactions are still part of…
The quantum of the gap between need and desire is inversely proportional to the degree of contentment we possess.
ahhh dont let design go around in circles, indefinitely. it must stop at some point, when is that point...
June 26, 2013. Jerry Seinfeld sits for an interview with Howard Stern. Stern asks about his routine - how Jerry constantly observes, constantly hunts for material, constantly thinks about comedy. Jerry gave an answer. Fuming with surprise, Howard Stern was like - "That's being at work 24 hours a day," Stern says.…
Reading the news, one can easy to feel the world is falling apart. But is it? Or is it us, thinking things are worse than they are? When a major plane crash happens, the front pages worldwide scream, “Plane crashed in XYZ.” And if you have a flight coming up, seeing this can make you freeze. It’s well-documented that…
Breathing vast cerulean Crisp cobblestone Remembering when I visited Centuries ago I meet a young girl Full of wonder and ache The world is yours But it will also take Misguidance awaits Learning is painful Something I like to remember When things are blue I breathe and I remember A stunning place In silent November
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…
Yesterday I started working on ramen based on local ingredients from Goa. So far I've swapped the traditional pork topping for a Goan Choriz and I blended cashew nuts into the broth. As I gently pushed the boundaries here I constantly found myself asking what makes ramen ramen? The black and white answer is that Ramen…
What inspires change? Knowledge Fear Hope Knowledge inspires change by opening our eyes to what is, what could be, and what is likely to be. We can then imagine what it might look and feel like to play out those scenarios. Knowledge usually sparks either fear or hope. Maybe you can’t have one without the other? Both…
Knowing is table stakes. “Do you know the patient?” A common question asked in the clinical world. When I was in training, I literally thought the question meant whether the patient is part of the list I am responsible for that day. A simple yes or no. Now when I get asked, I know that the knowing is much deeper. Do…
Have you ever thought that creating the life of your dreams was a never-ending process with little to no payoff? It's tempting to look at the facts and conclude that nothing is changing, but what if the apparent lack of change was a test? What if going through dry spells helped you develop the character you needed to…
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…
There are times and topics that make me want to lay in the middle of the floor and stay there until... who knows. I have yet to take that option. Yesterday at a mental health facility a patient opened the door to his balcony, looked down, turned around, and laid down in the middle of the hallway until someone came and…
You’re having a problem staying consistent with your new journaling habit. You just proved you're human. You are one among millions. "Look," my husband points to a man writing in a journal. We are waiting for our flight. "He writes in a journal like you." Except I have not written in my journal today. Journaling is a…
You'd be surprised by how many people are in the same situation as you. Last year, before graduating, I decided to study for a second degree. A lot of worries went through my head: "I'm behind," "I'm going to be the oldest," and so on. Many of these thoughts were just excuses to stay in my comfort zone, but I pushed…
You may think a journaling habit is not for you. Maybe you tried and quit. You’re not a writer. You’re not a creator. You’re not a deep thinker. You’re selling yourself short. You may be all of these and more. I considered myself all of these until I started a consistent journaling habit. A journal is a place you can…
Nada justifica. Não tem perdão. Toda aquela violência, vandalismo, depredação, tudo aquilo não é coisa de pessoas civilizadas. O que vimos ontem foi a barbárie. Foi o que acontece quando não se mata na raiz um movimento em direção ao caos. Quando não se acredita que as coisas possam chegar àquele ponto. Spoiler: podem…
I know this phase for a long time. But only now did it occur to me, most of the things I wanted, or Future is already here. I just didn't know ( Discovery ) and it is not well distributed ( Distribution ). I.e It is still the same old Discovery and Distribution Problem. How do we solve this? What can we do to help.…
Boa noite. Hoje eu acordei de madrugada pra me despedir do meu companheiro que foi curtir o carnaval de Salvador. Voltei a dormir e acordei algumas horas depois pra levar minhas doguinhas no passeio. Estava com muita saudades de levar elas pra sair, de torcer por xixis e cocos saudáveis, por forçar interação delas,…
I didn't sell enough in the last cycle. I made too many long-term bets on projects that have not (🤞🏻yet🤞🏻) captured attention this cycle. Cardano, Polkadot, Cosmos, Ripple & Polygon, primarily. My thesis was that these are long-term projects/investments, and while most of them are in profit from where I bought, I…
it's been a while. i'm again reminded of the power of seasons as I come up for air after another whirlwind summer. time to slow down, reflect, and reset. I love this phase, like I loved the last. but winter in particular always feels a bit like mourning. removing another layer of habits, insecurities, outdated beliefs…
I love helping people just for the sake of it, without expecting anything back, if I just can share, give or do something that doesn't really affect me negatively I will be happily willing to do so. Being part of such a caring community makes the vibe contagious 🫶🏻
Push for more! There’s always something else to study/that you didn’t know Action Action will lead to more things in the future Act first align yourself to that actions Do with a goal study is for you to be more ready be more powerful save time to study but when you study you need to study well Focus will let you…
Very happy with the typo pun in the heading. Been trying to onboard close friends to the first social protocol and also been tinkering with figma make to have a mini app by next month. I've been trying to pitch the premise and thesis to people. Some jump in to product feedback mode without even trying the app and some…
i used to feel like i have to figure out who i am first and THEN get a persona and THEN write but i've got it all backwards i'm supposed to just write and filter out the persona through the writing like a piece of artwork and it is not exactly myself but an art project just catch the thing and THEN shape it. and not…
perhaps we blog for the same reason we do work/read in coffeeshops we want to feel amongst others even in our solitude i wonder if anyone has ever met anyone in a coffee shop and become best friends
I am quite sure that it's not an uncommon thing for any desi/middle eastern child to declare the following statement - My mom's biryani is the best in the whole wide world! And I'm no such exception to this. I do believe my mom's biryani is the best and every other person who has tried it so far has claimed the same.…
The moments of feeling anxious or a negative thought entering the mind are few and far in between now. They exist, I just need the time to summon them and they'll be prompt in their arrival. There's something that stops me from summoning them or engaging for too long with these thoughts. I don't think there is…
Doomscrolling is a lot like venture capital. You spend countless hours on it, most return nothing. But once in a while, a single post returns the entire fund. Last night, I hit one of those rare jackpots. It was a painfully obvious observation made by a writer I had never heard of. Three dots, sitting in plain sight…
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…
I took off my bracelet i recently made, in the night, whilst asleep and must have set it in another dimension because it's not reappeared yet today. This is reason to clean my room. Which I'm not happy about. Executive function is not a strong force in me.
"The thumbs-up-react is actually a war crime," I texted. This was in response to me using the question-mark-react, to which you said, "the question mark react is an act of terror." This is how I want to fold. At first, when I said 'I'm folding,' I meant like a fitted sheet: loose, unstructured, but still crumpling,…
I started fruit farming a year ago in Lamjung, located in central Nepal. Aim is to reach 100,000 fruit trees. Currently I am at 3000. Biggest challenge facing so far is getting right saplings. Now making nursery to grow my own saplings. Its amazing here. Peace, quite and all forested area. Right on the road, but very…
Skyggene gjør seg alltid større enn de er. Mørket tåler nesten ingenting. Det går i stykker av litt lys.
Coisas que eu adoro pudim quente pudim gelado pudim com bastante calda abrir leite condensado para fazer pudim fazer calda do pudim ligar o forno sabendo que ali vai um pudim esquentar água pro banho maria do pudim bater a massa do pudim no liquidificador tirar o pudim do forno e esperar esfriar colocar o pudim na…
Every self contains multitudes. It can be helpful to sort these elements of self into defined parts. This can help you conceptualise these competing and contradictory bits of you. One distinction that’s been super helpful to me is the child and parent, the maiden and knight, the experiencer and the agent. Separating…
Today, I met with a friend who was upset about a recent experience at a car dealership. He felt disrespected by the salesman and was still angry and frustrated about it even a week later. We discussed how holding onto these emotions wasn't helpful for him and that with more information, his feelings could change. I…
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…
The road behind is lined with trees that are tall enough to puncture clouds and obstruct birds. Some people of the world call it a single-lane road, but most know that it is more a passageway, a corridor through which we're expected to move heavy-duty vehicles with big fat asses through. And you best hope that there…
I find myself mindlessly following small details around stuff I have no interest in, hour after hour, achieving nothing. It's not just me. We are all flooding our systems with more irrelevant information than ever before, and the more there is the less we can focus on any one piece. This increase in the volume of…
Before we get to answering this question, let's preface that by saying the media always blames social media companies for ruining our focus and attention span and giving us depression and anxiety. I think that's wrong. I believe we're doing it to ourselves because we followed our instincts of the need for dopamine.…
My clinic has been objectively doing well. Two of my fellow chiefs reached out to me to ask the secret to our success. I attributed our success to: a)Size b)stability c)Culture d)tools For size, we are small and when you look at the performance of the small vs. the large clinics, small wins. For stability, no other…
While still in the early pages of reading the book- Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman, something deeply poignant came through. Time as a unit of measure, is a relatively new phenomena. Watches and clocks arrived to help us become more productive and achieve more in a 24 hour time frame. Several authors have…
In the debate over freedom of expression with regard to blasphemy, I find it absurd when the argument is made, usually in response to some Muslim fanatic going on a murder rampage, that "well Christians try to censor expression too." I just don't think there exists a reasonable argument to be made that there is any…
Are we here for power? Are we here for sex? OR Are we here for meaning? When you are born, the consciousness inside of you doesn't know any labels. When you try to look a newborn baby in the eyes you will notice that it's eyes can't focus. It has to learn to interpret certain frequencies into certain colors. I'd say…
Twitter is not so much a social media company as a core part of the global digital infrastructure. Today, that core infrastructure that hosts billions of messages - from the public communications of governments, corporations, civil society and celebrities to the mundane rants of ordinary citizens - is about to pass,…
