Books, Movies, OTT, theaters and my Sunday Times in Four Acts.
2023 started more than a month ago and I have not read any book. Sometimes that fact reflects and haunts you pretty quickly. For me it is in the form of a restlessness. Not the restlessness of not having read anything. But the restlessness of not having spent enough time calmly going deep into something. Without reading regularly everything for me seems superficial. I start … Continue reading Books, Movies, OTT, theaters and my Sunday Times in Four Acts.
My Guiding principles for 2023
In my earlier post I wrote about the 6 lenses through which I plan to look at 2023 and also live by. Find a way that the important actions I want to take could pass through these lenses and tradeoffs better understood before I take them. That is the plan. That said there are seven guiding principles I have for 2023 that might help me … Continue reading My Guiding principles for 2023
The 6 Lenses I will use to view my actions in 2023
I just realized that I did not write anything about the New Year. Not before it started nor after it started. I figured that it is a result of too much focus on videos and less on written words. This is one thing I plan to change this year. More writing than Videos. Only Writing and Podcasts can help us go deeper and wider and … Continue reading The 6 Lenses I will use to view my actions in 2023

My first Experience booking with Airbnb and it was not good.
The post is not just about Airbnb but more about a booking I did and how the host treated me even before checking in. But I say Airbnb because I think only they can do anything about it. So that in the future no one has a similar experience. I don’t know if I am the first or this experience happens to others. Anyway here … Continue reading My first Experience booking with Airbnb and it was not good.
The Whale
There are two parts to the movie. One is about how good the movie is and the other is the controversy surrounding the casting and the whole question if the movie is Fatphobic. I would like to look at each of them here. What an amazing performance by Brendan Fraser. Fraser plays an 600 pound recluse Gay English teacher who is trying to connect with … Continue reading The Whale
So I will Write… again….
Yesterday I went over some of my old posts and I felt they were not that honest as I expected them to be. Or I could not see myself in them. Even a bit of dishonesty in some of them. Why is that? May be I have changed since I wrote them. May be I felt that way back then. May be that was me … Continue reading So I will Write… again….
Day 17 Do YouTubers Lie ?
Yesterday I woke up on the wrong side of the bed. I even went to sleep on the wrong side I think. On my way to drop my son at school in the morning, he was actively chatting as usual about some YouTube video he watched. It was about some YouTube talking about their wait time in restaurant. Like a total dick I told him … Continue reading Day 17 Do YouTubers Lie ?
Day 16 The Day after Thanksgiving Break
I don’t mean they after Thanksgiving. That was three days ago. I mean the day after Thanksgiving Break. The Monday. Today. When you sit at your desk and listen you can hear people asking each other how their Thanksgiving was. No one seems to be unhappy that the break ended. While it is the same holiday for all, everyone seems to have spent it in … Continue reading Day 16 The Day after Thanksgiving Break
15/365 A Transparent World
What would a transparent world look like? A world where everyone can be themselves. People do not have to show more than what they have. Where there is no fear to say what you think is the right thing. Where one can fail and not be punished for it. Where success is appreciated but not used for comparisons. Where one is not belittled for being … Continue reading 15/365 A Transparent World
