5 seconds life pitch

I recently started listening to an audiobook called 'Story worthy' and in that the writer states that every movie can be boiled down to 5 secs scenes of transformation.

I realized this can be true for any movie, tv show or any other form of entertainment. So, I had a thought that if we think what our 5 secs would be, I can promise I am just in the 0.5 sec phase. It made me more calmer and gave me hope to beautiful opportunities.

I am not saying it will be same for everyone, but give it a try.

Try to think of a way to tell your life story in 5 secs. You will still be in 2nd or 3rd seconds of that.

I thought this realization will be a good thought dump and stopped my audiobook and started writing.

It is good to see my life this way. I get to relax a bit, rather than running behind things. I am just getting started in the 5 sec pitch of my life.

Sunday Is Biryani Day

Every Sunday my family used to go to church, have breakfast outside, come home and mom used to make chicken biryani, which used to taste delicious. After that meal, my brother and I would pour ourselves a glass of cold drink(Thumbs up, mostly. If you don't like thumbs up, we are not friends.) and enjoy while watching movies until 4pm. The taste of biryani and the fizz of cold…

We Fall into the same loop

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 was a little relieved. I am not alone on this. The 10 min…
