335/365 Reinventing Oneself
I am not sure if I have written about this topic before. But since it is about reinventing, I think I can write again. If it is a repetition, my apologies. This is what is in my mind now. I turned 50 in 2020 I think. Not that it matters. But what matters is this…

334/365 Look around us, what do we see?
I was listening to Berne Brown’s book ‘Braving the Wilderness’. As I listened I heard something in this way. Some of our connections might be built on a common hate for someone or something. This struck me hard. I know of echo chambers and I know I am in a few. I would like to…

331/365 When do we choose Hope
There are so many bad things happening around us. So many things that you want to be involved in as well. It is like you feel guilty if you do not speak up. One after the other, the issues you want to speak about never end. And then a point comes when you think, why…

303/365 The need for regular maintenance
I am not a person who does planned maintenance be it vehicle or on myself. ‘Myself’ is changing as I get older, but I think I can still be better. Vehicles, I have never maintained and it has cost me dearly, I am saying this today because I took my car to the dealer today for…

301/365 That last minute guy in me
Today I was about to reach the office and realized I had not taken my antibiotics and painkillers. As you might know I had my tooth extracted last week. I had in fact left home early and so I still had time. I stopped at a parking lot and messaged my team that I was going…

282/365 When I walk past smokers now
I have not smoked for two years now. I used to be a heavy smoker and I have also quit a number of times. I have also written about it before but wanted to talk about how it feels when I walk past smokers today. Quitting smoking for two years is good and feels good, but the…

281/365 Tying my shoe laces
I recently bought a pair of slip ons. That is what I have been wearing often. But I also have a pair that have laces. The few days back I picked that up and I put in the right shoes and started tying the lace. I felt something was not right. Not as it should…
