it gets better I’ve heard that phrase used a lot in the context of encouraging people struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts, IIRC especially popular in LGBTQ circles. only recently that phrase resonated with me. I interpreted / realised another angle to it as I find myself at a stage in my life where I…

Hey there my friend, how are you doing? I hope you and your loved ones are safe and well in your corner of the world. I thought I’d just spend a bit of time to share what I’ve been up to these days. Please expect me to ramble a bit, because I don’t have a…
been thinking about this guy’s comment about how reading is actually the activity where you are reminded about something you’d already thought about. it’s very rare that we learn something new. hmm…. what he said felt true when I read it on Thursday, but now there are bits in it that I disagree with, but…
Stuff I learned about life so far. Yet another dump of it, off the top of my head. we tell ourselves stories, all. the. time. things take time they take nothing is wasted we adapt, and need novelty. we’ll create problems just for the sake of movements most things are noise. can ignore for a…
3 full weeks back at work. 15 work days. lost all trace of the natural pace I managed to slowly ease back into. the unhurried life. the unpunctuated life. the life without expectations. poof. the mental bugs are still solved and mental refactors are still holding up. the perspective and energy are still there. haven’t…

Both are somewhat obvious points but let me use this post…
I’ll be 36 in 4 months. I think I did well. I did fairly decent job at this thing called life. I didn’t cause any harm to my loved ones’ lives. physically, mentally, emotionally I think I have taken good care of these of those I love and care for. I had some glory, nice…
if you want to share knowledge then just share don’t obsess over monetizing it eventually. just do it because it’s fun you get to learn, you get to share, you get to ramble on the internet aren’t those your endgames? writing, sharing, for fun. about data, about business, about self help, about mental health, about…
I struggled with social situations for most of my adolescence. I dread face to face conversations and phone calls. I prefer asynchronous communication to synchronous ones. Only now I realised why. When you are in conversations, you are expected to either 1) share or 2) respond, right? Sharing I have jumbled, unformed, inarticulated, unidentified thoughts…
Went into a bit of rabbit hole with Gary Vee’s videos last week. I have to admit I spent a couple of years being skeptical of him because of how popular and mainstream he is — just like Simon Sinek, Seth Godin, Liz Glbert, these big names whose brands have somewhat overpowered their message. This…
