You can run from the whole world. You can hide behind facades. And you can actually fool everyone else. But none of these will heal you or help you. None of these will transform your life for the better. None of this will make you lighter. Even when you are running, you are carrying your …
Living a life that you don’t truly enjoy from within is a sure-shot way to misery. Life is short. Do what you like. Never be stuck doing things that satisfy others at your own expense.
I discovered this video so randomly today. I don’t even remember recording it. Looking at the old me, I feel a mixed bag of emotions. I look so exhausted and beaten down. I can see the exhaustion on my face. I can go back to that day and remember all that I felt then. Now …
I built my first website in 2016 and since then I’ve iterated several times. Just last day I was thinking I wish I had screenshots of my old websites. And then I learn about the wayback machine that shows you old iterations of any website on the internet. So here’s the thing. For everyone who …

I was thinking about how passionately Ganga talks about Nagavalli and her ornaments to Sunny. And then the conviction with which she defends that the chilanga Sunny has is that of Nagavalli.

I’m talking about the little earbuds that come with your earphone. I just started an 8 hour road trip and lost exactly one ear bud in the first 10 minutes of the trip.
