When I was younger, I loved taking up personality tests. I would choose options that I aspired to be and obviously, the results made me feel great! It took me a long time to realize that I was doing it wrong. But this mistake worked out well for me. It gave me the opportunity to... Continue Reading →
When I initially heard about the restrictions to control the transmission of CoVID-19, I brushed it off without much thought. I mean, how was it even remotely possible (see what I did there?) for people to not go to work, school or continue with their daily routines. The world has never stopped for anyone. But...

I hate uncertainty. It doesn't work with me. I don’t like the idea of being preoccupied with something while I mindlessly get on with my life. I've always believed- do one thing at a time, do it right and get it out of your mind. This is why I love planning my days. I do... Continue Reading →

I opened my mail to a warning message from my security team. It told me that my access would be revoked unless I completed all the Mandatory courses. There it was, again! Our organization is way too strict when it comes to compliance. People can complain and whine all they want, but no one is... Continue Reading →
Last weekend, I was happy and proud of what I had accomplished. It was time for me to reap the fruits of my labor. After weeks of tending to, there were 34 tomatoes from my balcony garden. The ravishing red bubbles against the backdrop of green leaves, the yellow flowers, and the black soil, made... Continue Reading →
Have you noticed what’s common among people who achieve what they set out to? They are consistent with their efforts. They show up and work on improving their skills as frequently as they need to, irrespective of how small the task is. They just do it. It's no secret that if you want to be... Continue Reading →
Last Friday, I came across this lovely old couple who were heading out for grocery shopping. I’m sure both of them must be in their 70s and they looked happy. They were relaxed, busy with their own phones and then shared a laugh every now and then. It put a smile on my face. It’s... Continue Reading →
