  • Self Development

    If you had one option, one opportunity to change the orbit you operate in, would you take it or let it go? I know of people who are happy where they are and I know of some very ambitious people, who just moved into a different orbit as they took that one shot. Why am […]

  • Why does it have to be this way?

    I have been giving some things a great lot of thought lately. Like why does it feel that I am living the same day over and over again? Why does it feel that any new thing I start doesn’t get to its natural conclusion?I then realise that my mind is not in the right place […]

  • 2022 – Year of the Tiger

    The year of the Tiger, that is what 2022 is, according to the Chinese calendar. Not that I am a follower, but hey, I am hopeful this year would be better than the previous 2. What gives me hope? Well, there are a few things. On a personal front, a few things which I had […]

  • November Rain

    One of the more famous Guns N Roses (GnR) songs, November Rain talks about love, pain and all the other emotions that come along with it. Why am I talking about love all of a sudden? Just like that. I have always believed that love as such is a fleeting emotion and has to be […]

  • Pivot

    So, we have all heard/read this word a lot these days. A lot. Tech firms pivot into unexpected use cases for their existing products. The Excel warriors keep making pivot tables to justify how their inference is the only correct inference and nobody knows data like they do. Why am I talking about pivots? Am […]

  • Blindsided

    I was blindsided, that’s it! I screwed up. I kind of knew what was coming but I didn’t think it was this close. Sometimes all of us get this feeling. We know our actions have consequences but the fact that they sometimes are so sudden that we feel blindsided by it all. No global gyaan […]

  • Lessons from my Dad

    Last week I turned 37. Mind you, neither 35, nor 40. 37. Why am I writing about it? Or why am I writing about my dad, as the title suggests. No reason. It’s just that this was a birthday I spent alone. The better half, along with the kid was with my parents at the […]

  • Do as I do, not as I say!

    A few months ago, I wrote about consistency. And then two months hence, I broke that rule. I didn’t write a single post in October. Not that I didn’t have time or ideas, but I wasn’t applying myself enough. I didn’t think missing a month would matter. And then it hit me. I am writing […]

  • Overworked?

    It happened a couple of days back. My wife, seeing that I had been on back to back client calls(even while having lunch), asked if I could either switch off my phone or put it on flight mode, at least for the duration of the lunch? (She did take away my phone and put it […]

  • March On

    I thought of using this title as the title of my next monthly blog post(March), but thought it would be good for my blog post of February. Marching on, that’s what I have decided to do. I had undergone angioplasty earlier this month. It was sort of a wake-up call for me and I have […]
