I mostly read fiction in 2024 and by the end of it I was looking for a change. While going through Crossword in Indiranagar, Satya saw and suggested this book - Being Mortal by Atul Gawande. I am a big fan of Atul Gawande’s writing. Through stories and anecdotes, he makes complicated matters simple and interesting to read. Long back I had read The Checklist Manifesto and Better. They are one of my...
It was evening, and I was making my usual journey back from the office. Working in Delhi's Sarita Vihar while staying in a PG in Greater Noida meant my daily commute was a test of endurance - two gruelling hours one way, juggling between auto, bus, two different metro lines, and finally, a rickshaw. Yes, it sounds insane, maybe even foolish. But you make these compromises when you're new to a vast...

Listening to this TED talk triggered a thought macro. I was lucky to have loving doting parents. And as I near the age of 40, I catch myself thinking more and more about the texture of their lives. Specifically, my dad. I kinda understand the context that made me - but what made him into the person that he is?In some ways its an easy question to approach, but difficult to really answer. Going over...
Yesterday I heard various one liners which I think will help all of us. Most of them were regarding anxiety and loneliness; there is no new info there. But reiterating the same heard lines of advice may seep through the thick wall of our ego at some point in the future. Mindfulness - I kept on reminding myself to do headspace especially this new year since it’s a hatke resolution in the pool of ma...

A wise man learns more from his success than a fool does from his mistakes! Safe to say that today the opponents took the 3 points but we can claim all the life lessons.

This shows us that even if you give your absolute 110% efforts on the day, it can't compensate for the build up to that day. Fitness, l...
