Inflammation

Last few years, I have spent some time reading about body and health. In due course, I have tried numerous diets. I was able to lose weight. I have realized that our health depends on what we eat, and it is not about calories in or out. Our quality of food distinguishes our life.

I remember laughing at Vinay (my friend) when he would say I have come to meet, not eat at any of our meetings at restaurants. At max, he would have some green tea.

After recovering from COVID, I spent some time reading about vegetable oil and the inflammation it has been causing me for over a decade. I would get boils over my face hours after eating out. I have started making a note entry these days, where I eat, what I eat, and If I got boils.

Some of my friends know the limited options I have now when I join them for food. Some others call out my crazy experiment and tell me I am missing out on so many great things life has to offer.

On the contrary business, meetings have gotten limited to drinking green tea.

I have started making a joke saying food is just fuel, and my taste buds have died. I want to live a healthy life and be okay with living and eating this way.

relations

I have been reminded time and again that we thrive with people around mutual care, respect, and trust.

At times, we are less closed to our siblings than our friends. Our secrets, success, and happiness are shared and celebrated with them all.

In the end, we are close with a chosen few, who are with us in every part of our life. Some of us are closer to each other than even our parents.

Build relations that last till eternity; rest will be well in life.

sides

We are biased and crave what fulfills our ideology. NATO/UN have given great attention to the Russian aggregation. Ukraine will be part of NATO anytime soon, it seems.

I am not saying what is happening in Ukraine is right. But what I would have ideally liked is that these organisations equal attention to other merciless killings Be it in the middle east, Africa, or Asia.

travel

Can travel recharge us? Despite us carrying all our pain in our head?

Travel is considered a solitude and peaceful experience. I am not sure how much of it is correct. In smartphones, we carry our existing world and experience less travel.

We are all digital nomads, we are no more traveling but shit posting on social media for the world to know we are traveling.

How much of it calms us down or adds perspective in our life as to who we are?

Optimist

Radical Optimist, a virtue I have added in the last five years of startup life. Running a company is a mad ride in itself, and not having an optimist approach to our action will harm us.

We have things in our control, which is giving our best. However the same time, the output is a result of our action. If we are not optimists, are we going to give our best?

war

The world has witnessed many wars since its inception. Another one has started by Putin. There will be a loss of people and property. The trauma of war will continue hunting families for many decades.

International organizations like NATO and the UN are doing nothing. They did nothing earlier when America Invaded Iraq or Afghanistan.

The US stock market is surging because the weapon manufacturers and infrastructure development companies are hopeful of their future profits.

Everyone else like us can only pray and feel sad for our friends living in Ukraine.

life

There are times in life when we question everything. Be it internal self or the external world around us. These are the times that differentiate us from each other. Some give up, while others continue their journey.

Life and winning are not for the faint-hearted. It has too many rough edges. Even if we like giving up, we can not. So the journey has to continue as a seeker or time traveller, accepting whatever comes in the journey. Giving up is not an option but a mandatory requirement.

moments

Has it occurred to you that some catchups, conversations, or meetings should have never ended?

The secret urge of a never-ending moment because of our interest in it.
Our life constitutes of people and moments.
Some stay with us till the end.
We cherish a few till our death bed.

One has to be lucky to have come across such a few moments in life. I am have witnessed one today, happy me.

imagine

Imagine a world with all things as we imagined. Would it not have made us lazy? Or would it not have completed us?

We, humans, thrive on challenges. Everything we desired in life would have made us all idle. It would have affected adversely in progress and growth humanity has done so far.
