I have been a night owl for as long as I can remember. Be it chatting with my friends till wee hours in the morning, or pulling off all nighters for exams or work, I have done it all. Just like most of you. I used to enjoy the quiet of the night, that used…

One of the best ways to learn from the journeys of other people is to read books, said Ankur Warikoo in multiple videos and conversations. I couldn’t agree more with him. When I picked up the book, Let Go, by Pat Flynn, I had no idea what was in store for me. It’s a short,…
In my last blog, I wrote about wearing my workaholism as a badge of honor, and in this one, I will talk about how I figured out that I was totally and undeniably, burnt out. Mornings are my favorite part of the day. The switch from being a night person to a morning person happened…
I am a workaholic. There used to be a time when I used to say this with pride, thankfully, no more. The shift happened during the first wave of the pandemic when I was locked up in my university room in the UK battling with my own sense of worthlessness that creeped in, just because…
I felt royally betrayed by the universe when Covid-19 hit the world the year that I had gone to pursue a Master’s degree abroad. What’s worse? The first Covid-19 case in the UK was reported in Brighton, the place I was in. When things got worse, most of the university students went back to their…
For those who know me well know that I do not have a sweet tooth (not for all things sweet, at least). They also know that I say ‘I eat sweet stuff when I am stressed’. Epiphany of the day I don’t eat sweet stuff when I am stressed, I am an emotional eater! Let…
I have been out of touch with my reading habit (or maybe all good habits in general, courtesy: pathetic work-life balance) for as long as I can remember. I slipped from being a person who read a book a week to not being able to finish a book, and trust me, it hurts to become…
I’m writing after a really really long time. To be very honest, I’ve been giving myself excuses. Don’t we all? It’s the easiest thing to do, right? No explanations needed. Today I’m writing about a being, who is nameless. Not because I can’t come up with a name for it, but because it resides in…
This is the first time I’m writing about a book that I have just finished reading (I plan to do this more often, though). Who is Tsukuru Tazaki? He is a fictional character created by my all time favorite author Haruki Murakami. What is his story? He has a small group of four friends, dearer…
SHOULD. Google says it is used to indicate obligation, duty, or correctness, typically when criticizing someone’s actions. I think it is used to bind one in shackles of someone else’s opinion. If you’re decent at math, you SHOULD become an engineer. If you’re an A grader, you SHOULD take the science stream. If you get…
