OVER CONSUMPTION
too much consumption
too much content
too much being able to know peoples thought’s
too much working on newest tech (Web3, Crypto, AI)
too much pollution
too much consumption
too much of pressure to have opinions
Whenever I sit down to slow myself, I’m overwhelmed by the realisation of the amount of information that I consume. You feel the difference almost instantly, as soon as you stop scrolling or stop looking at a screen.

The ones who are able to put constraints are going to end being superior to you.
The ones who can disconnect will teach you how to stay connected.

Reading Habit
My monkey brain is in overdrive when I am alone. I can’t read. I can’t write. I can’t watch an entire movie. I can’t code. Well this is all I can do when I can. There is not much else to me.
Subtract human voices and what do you hear!
Continuing on same thought- Lastweek, I was driving to a birthday party and got stuck under this under-construction metro station signal. Rather than enjoying music on the jam-packed roads and endless red signals, I looked up and started worrying, \"What if this metro stati...
Yet again.
For what it’s worth, I’ve been telling myself that my spoken words do the job. But, the written word is what gets me to the stage of offering the spoken.
Food for thought?
As someone who is generously proportioned, I have followed the Body Positivity trend / movement with distant interest.
GAP
I am here. I am sorry, I am not here for you. I am here for myself. I made a promise. I want to keep it. I am setting expectations - again more mine than yours. It takes away the performance pressure. It’s ok if you don’t read further. I am writing this more for me than for you...
On satisficing — a bet on human irrationality
