  • What Makes Me Feel Strong

    I don’t like the idea that I’m not in control of my life. Neo, The Matrix First of all, let me start by apologizing for sharing yet another Matrix quote (what to do, I’m a hopeless Matrix fan!) But if I were to pick one thing that makes me strong it is the very simple…

  • A Dream I Remember

    I’ll be real, I am a dreamer for life. But most of my dreams happen during my waking hours rather than in my sleep. I have my share of dreams in my sleep as well, but not a lot that I can remember so well. I have read somewhere that dreams are born out of…

  • A year to time travel to

    If I could pick a year to time travel to, I would pick 1998. Why? Because I love the nineties! Oh, what exciting times they were? I would probably go back and have fun with all the nineties technology. Good old CRT TVs, a nice funky VCR, landline phones, Pentium II computers with a whopping…

  • A life lesson everyone can benefit from learning

    If I could pick one thing from my learnings in this life so far, it would be the virtue of positivity. In other words, to achieve any kind of success in life, you must adopt a positive approach. It sounds like a no-brainer, but this is one of those things that is straightforward for a…

  • A challenge I faced and overcame

    If I could pick one thing that has set me back the most in life, it’s procrastination. I used to be a serial procrastinator, and I was notorious for it. I have lost count of the number of times procrastination has cost me. The real world impact has been mind-boggling — money, job positions, opportunities,…

  • Five things I am grateful for today

    I am a strong believer in the attitude of gratitude. I would simply not be where I am today, had it not been for the help and support of a lot of people. No amount of thanks will justify the gifts I have received from this life. As I am closing out on yet another…

  • Incorrect Assumptions

    It’s natural to assume something of someone. When you meet someone new, you tend to make images of them in your head, which could be based on a lot of external characteristics – or simply based on spontaneous assumptions in your head. Unless you are Sherlock, chances are that your assumptions are wrong. I myself…

  • Someone that Inspires Me

    I might sound a wee bit corny, but the reality is that the person that inspires me is none other than my wife, Archana. Have you ever come across the term: Baptism by fire? It means to be able to fight through adverse circumstances to come out clean. Archana has fought some of life’s biggest…

  • Something I Wish I Knew How to Do

    I’m a wishful thinker, and I keep wishing for so many things. In fact, I yearn for things all the time. And, at any point in time, I keep yearning for something! It’s a fact. Here’s a list of random things that I wish I’d knew how to do: I wish I knew how to…

  • Thank you, 2021.

    Thank you, 2021.

    I won’t mince words, 2021 was one of the most difficult years of my life – especially on the personal front. My little family was shattered by the death of two of our cats, and that too in a brutal way. The second wave of COVID, and isolation seemed mild in comparison. Nevertheless, I am…
