Something is wrong with me? My social circle has shrunk. The meetups, events, and gatherings have reduced. My consumption and interaction with the virtual world are also limited.

Silence
I have been a non-stop talker. My friends close to me are aware of this. I am working on getting this fixed. I have realized silence and listening to others is more relaxing. It keeps brain saner.

Problems
Fighting with barista for making frothy cappuccino is easy. What is difficult: having some empathy. Keeping calm and registering complaint.

Multitasking
I used to be that guy who vouched for multi tasking. As time passed, I’m experiencing its side effects. Doing multiple things at the same time requires our brain to act like a router, throwing packets to different IP addresses. While the router is made for it, our brain is not. A few months ago, …
Money
What will you do with all that money when: You are sleep deprived. You are addicted on alcohol and narcotics. You have no control over your anger. You have a big house but no friends. You are a slave to your vices. Your kids have no respect for you. You have no one to …
Sanity
At 33, I stumbled upon philosophy. This time it was Jiddu Krishnamurti, thanks to Twitter and one of the tweets of Naval Ravikant mentioning his name. Over the years I have realized that most of the modern day self help books and motivational content are nothing but recycled philosophy. With time, my interest in reading …
Meeting
In this super connected world, we are seconds away from introducing our friends for business or other advice. We think it will help them, but is it really so? Who are we to decide on their behalf? Why can’t we ask them? And once we are done connecting, we feel that we are done with …
