This is a collection of stories and daily musings.

  • How writing helps when things don’t make sense anymore

    No, you don’t have to be very good at writing to start writing. Actually, what I am trying to point out is the need to write your thoughts down when you want to make sense of things. As much as we wanted to live a life most people portray in their social media feeds, there… Read more

  • What you do (or not do) creates a culture

    We probably spend about an hour a day (or even more) on the internet. Who doesn’t these days, anyway? And the thing is, what you do (or not do) over the internet creates a culture.

  • Our need for learning

    Have you ever wondered how your bosses can quickly provide comments on your recent submission and how their feedback makes a lot of sense?
