  • Small Silly Reminders

    Growing old each day, lately, I have realized that my already overburdened brain should not be used for storing unimportant things like tasks and contacts but for more important things like people and happy memories. Hence, I started keeping a small notepad with me to note down certain things- a kind of to-do list (without… Continue reading

  • So Near, Yet So Far

    Back in 2009, I was applying for various entrance examinations. When asked for a preference for a place of posting, I remember selecting metros like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore. My father always asked- why not our city? And although I don’t remember giving him any reply, deep inside I knew the answer was- I want… Continue reading

  • The Zomato-esque Leap

  • Opinions

    4 years ago, I posted 2nd of the 2 questions I have ever posted on Quora- “What to do to have an opinion on everything?” The good folks there poured their unabated wisdom for me.

  • Process and Routine

    Process and Routine

    In trading, there is a commonly used line- Follow the process (trading rules) and result (money) will follow. And then I heard it in sports where top coaches and players say- it is about following the process. If you think of it, you can apply this line to almost everything. Have a process- sounds cool… Continue reading

  • Comedy Warriors

    I have huge respect for standup comedians. If you think of it, it is a very tough job. People attend their shows with very high expectations because they have spent a lot of money on the tickets and they are stressed out and they need loads of laughter. They want their money worth. And without… Continue reading

  • The World May Want You to Fail

    For an Indian cricket fan, the 2018 Nidahas Trophy is a sweet memory. The tournament was not exceptional. India sent a team without a couple of stars and gave Rohit Sharma the leadership role. He took India to the final where his team was on the verge of losing. But then, Dinesh Kartik happened. When… Continue reading

  • Zen Mode

    I am sure my blog is wondering today- how come the man who didn’t blog for a year is writing twice in 2 days? The answer is the Zen Mode. This Zen Mode is in my OnePlus 5T. When you switch on this mode, basically you cannot use your mobile for anything but receiving calls… Continue reading

  • Back to Writing?

    I have missed writing. There was a time when I used to write a lot. Weekends were exciting as I always had something building up inside my head. Nowadays, they have become busy and tight. If I say that I don’t know what changed; I will be lying. What happened is a classic case of… Continue reading

  • Valentine’s Day Throwback

    Valentine’s Day, huh? As I have grown, I have lost sense of this day. And not just Valentine’s day but any day. Women’s day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and of course, the Birthday. In fact, birthdays are something I never understood. What is so awesome about it? Why does people need to make me feel… Continue reading
