Burnout can be exhausting, and I speak from personal experience. I am someone who enjoys immersing myself into things that I commit myself to do, and many a times, I go to the far end. Before I realise it, I am jeopardising my own health and mental wellbeing, by not taking enough rest. Rewind to…

I have been blogging for a while now, though I am a bit on and off, and definitely not a pro, I strongly believe that there is always room to learn! When I started, I made a free account on WordPress.com and was quite pleased with myself and my once in a month posts. But,…
I love taking online courses, and recently I finished a course on “How to Rock your LinkedIn profile”. More than giving out some useful tips, the course helped me understand the purpose of having one. Sure, LinkedIn is a professional platform (one can argue in today’s time that it can become a working people’s Facebook),…
I started reading when I was in class 5. Like most people, my journey began with reading Enid Blyton, transitioning to R. L. Stine and eventually Jeffrey Archer. I loved it because it helped me visualise different realities, as if I got to live the life of every main character through whose lens I was…
I have been reading a lot about habit building lately and watching my favorite YouTubers go on and on about their routines and habits. Its inspiring, but overwhelming at the same time.

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…
