Why do I post my picture when I do a blog post? I think that is the safest bet and I don’t need to attribute it to anyone except my family who take them for me. For this one the attribution goes to my son who does not really like me using the school drop off time for my little social media run. His issue … Continue reading We all live in moments inside finite time.
I grew up in Kerala, India without really knowing about Valentine’s day. In fact the only things being celebrated in the west that I was aware of was Christmas and New Year and Easter.

The first time I … Continue reading Valentine’s day From India to America.
In my earlier post I wrote about the 6 lenses through which I plan to look at 2023 and also live by.

Like a total dick I told him … Continue reading Day 17 Do YouTubers Lie ?

I start with a long snooze game … Continue reading Note-5 A 4:30AM Routine with no decision making
One of the comments I have seen floating on LinkedIn is ‘This does not belong here’. A slightly different version is ‘This is not your Facebook, take your post there’. As I was sitting down to write today the same exact question came to my mind. ‘Will this be a LinkedIn appropriate post?’. I think the answer has to do with expectations we have as … Continue reading Note-4 This does not belong here.. or does it ?
I sat down and decided to write. I did not have a place to go doing that. It was more to discover the present where I am. The question that I asked for a year was this ‘What will I write if I sit to write something every day?’ The answer to the question was a year long writing project. Then after a year and … Continue reading Note-1 When I sit to write
