The Contents I Consume On Internet

Since COVID lockdown in India in March 2020, we all have increased the contents we consume online - be it OTT platforms like Amazon Prime, Netflix et al, or Youtube, podcasts, learning courses or blogs/articles etc. The same is true for me. But in my case that proportion was high even before the lockdown. I... Continue Reading →

The Identified Life, Ketto Ads On Youtube, And Aryan Khan

Of late my screen time has reduced considerably - not just laptop, but even mobile phone usage is much lower than what it used to be 3 months back. It's not by coincidence; I've been actively working towards it. One one specific day in August 2021 my Screen Time as per iPhone statistics was 7... Continue Reading →

There is also a popular book on the subject (which I have browsed but not yet read) called "IKIGAI: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life" I recently came across this hilarious parody cover of IKIGAI book.

Mathematics Is Fun!

I like Mathematics and Puzzles and Problem Solving from very young age. Even today I dabble with many puzzles in my free time and I am in fact working on a book of puzzles (well, I am ashamed of saying so, because it's in the making for last 2+ years). Puzzles, riddles etc, if used... Continue Reading →

Atomic Habits by James Clear

One of the interesting books I read this year is Atomic Habits by James Clear. Actually I am not a big fan of self-help, self-improvement books. Certainly not the TED Talk type preaching. And yet there are few individuals I follow and learn from. I liked Mark Manson's blog and also his book "The Subtle... Continue Reading →
