\Flowerâ by Moby - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-Lz4o3KNCkMy memory of this song is inextricably intertwined with the movie âGone in 60 secondsâ. I just recently heard this song during a workout session and it triggered a response strong enough for me to listen to this song for 2 days straight (still playing..) and read its lyrics. Workout music, I suppose - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aur...
On a sweltering summer day, I found myself wandering through my garden, and what I saw took my breath away. The once-lush greenery, vibrant with life, had surrendered to neglect. The flowers, which had once stood proudly, now drooped under the weight of withering petals. The rich colors that had once painted a lively portrait of nature now appeared as faded whispers of their former selves. The wee...
What is a soulmate anyway? One who knows you throughout, one who makes you happy, satisfied and gives a meaning to your existence. One who understands you without even muttering a word but by just looking into your eyes.. and as we say our eyes depicts our soul.. hence a soulmate is hard to find but once you findâŚI think it's just fills your life with love, laughter, learnings and life ! Well I ha...
Lately, there's been a lot of news about construction fails - expressway cracks, bridges collapsing, road potholes, statues falling crushing, etc. The amount of stimuli - social media, or news that feed into my overthinking brain is insane. Continuing on same thought- Last week, I was driving to a birthday party and got stuck under this under-construction metro station signal. Rather than enjoying...
I am sure you have at least once gone through a âfabric selection catalogâ to select the fabric for your curtains, sofa covers, or other upholstery in the house or workplace. Ever wondered what happens to those catalogs(fabric swatch books) once they are outdated? Trends change fast, and businesses can't always keep old catalogs around. They take up space and might not even be useful anymore. So, ...
Have you ever felt like youâre stuck in a never-ending struggle with your own emotions, only to find them growing stronger with each attempt to push them away? This is the paradox of resistanceâthe more we fight against something, the more power it seems to gain over us. Itâs a frustrating cycle that many of us find ourselves trapped in, but understanding it can be the first step toward breaking f...
\I feel so proud to have received this award. I would not say I did not expect it, because I worked very hard for it. I want to thank my team for keeping up with my demands to work at odd hours to meet the deadlines and targets. Thanks to the organizers for recognizing our efforts and giving us this honor. Thank you, everyone, means a lot!\, Abhay ended his speech and walked down the stage with a ...
Looking at how many photos I have accumulated in my phone beggars belief. And begs a question - why do we take so many pictures?What is this obsession with documenting every day in our lives?Because not every meal, relation, friend-date, occasion is memorable. Most fall on a Forgetfulness curve, from immediate to somewhere in the blur of the next few years. The âmemorableâ tag is reserved for a se...
For his promotion party, she decided to pull out the old top she wore on her college farewell. After 8 years, she could not stuff herself inside it. He saw her struggle and said, \Madam, this won't fit you. High time, you need to lose weight.\ Then, as if he conspired the whole universe to put her on a hammering conveyor belt of \Weight Loss\.The next day, she went to pick up her son from preschoo...
The fact that this book even exists is a triumph. To me, its one of the most important books published in India. And that is worth celebrating - by buying this book. Whether the content of the book lives up to your expectations is entirely irrelevant.Its an unsubtle fuck you to every heinously anachronistic strain of thought in Indian society - Dr Ambedkar would thoroughly approve. What you resist...
That day... I still remember that day crystal clear as I experienced the energy and existence of him. Here him resonates Lord Ganesha. According to me Lord Ganesha is the god of wisdom, patience and to experience feeling of satisfaction. This is purely based on the experiences I have had of Lord Ganapati. When I see the idol I am stunned by the silence which I experience when looked into the eyes ...
The lump in my throat while uttering âI donât agreeâŚâ, â I donât want toâŚâJittery fingers typing what you wonât like to read. Then substituting it with a pleasant expressive yellow face.âShould havesâ and âcould havesâ turning a depressing grey. The urge to correct. Mostly people and perceptions but also everything around. Like that notebook kept at a 40 degree angle on your table.Doing it well. A...
When a day came without human voices, this is what I heard:Â Cracking bones after oversleepingCrunch of a fruit then a gulpWatermelon seeds spitted in a bowlThe clock, running and mockingA lonely birdâs call, anticipating loveA bus honking on a distant highway, enjoying the empty road to itselfA neighbourâs hurried footsteps in the apartment upstairsCreak of door, a lull, a drawn out sigh.Gulps of ...
I think everyone has some special things where they are completely in the moment. For me dancing and coding are those things which give me the ultimate joy of being in the moment. But lets be real, for both it wonât happen right away. You need to invest time to get to that state. When coding, You start by figuring out the problem, brainstorming solutions, thinking about all those tricky corner ca...
If there is one word that describe us humans, that word is mediocre. So what does it mean to pursue excellence?If there is one word that describe us humans, that word is mediocre. Most of us are mediocre at almost everything we do. I am a mediocre cook, employee, student, cricketer, friend, husband, and father. By now, you must have noticed, my writing is mediocre too.Excellence is rare. It dazzle...
