A place where I organise the chaos of my mind
As I reflect on the last two years of my career, I want to write about a topic that we all care about, seek an answer to, and still search for: a sense of fulfilment in our jobs. The default thinking is to assume that you cannot have fulfilment unless you are working at a […]
At a point in life, being able to walk is the metric that matters. Then, being able to talk. Then, it quickly moved to how many exams you passed with the purpose of getting promoted. Then it was CGPA, and then it was how long it took to get your first job. Soon, it would […]
I think the real title should be a few reasons why I write. But don’t worry about that, let’s just get into this. I write primarily because something lingers in my mind and craves expression. I don’t often have the right words before I start to write that usually comes as I face the blank […]
I took a break from writing partly because I wanted to think more about the kind of things that I write. If you go through my articles, you would notice that they are mostly about life. I write about experiences, what we can learn from them and how we can have the best of them […]

This has been followed by an endless series of finger-pointing, scaled division in society and in some way the rise in the confidence disease as Shakespeare put it “the fool doth think he knows what he does not know.” I was reflecting […]

Let me do a quick reflection that’s just for me as it can be for anyone who may read this later. Since joining my new company, if there’s one lesson I have learned that determines a lot of your success, it’s the importance of seeking help and feedback early. We work in a fast-paced environment […]
When the crypto market started plummeting earlier this year, I and together with a host of others (I believe) thought that it was just one of those short-term market pullbacks. In fact, I remember vividly how the laser-eyed team of Bitcoin ran pools to ask if people still believe we will see Bitcoin at $100k. […]
A genuine question that frequently bugs my mind is where would we be if everyone believed in the supernatural as a society? I think the answer is not far-fetched. We were once there where you can’t question phenomena that are attributed to the supernatural. And while those times lasted we lived in a subsistence world. […]
Last week, I introduced David Foster Wallace and his ideas to us. Particularly, I promised to share how those ideas can help us have a better career, life and relationship. The overarching idea that came out of the speech was that for a lot of us, we act based on our default thinking state. We do not […]
