On Missing Routine
I haven't been able to maintain a routine for several months now. I'm not blaming myself, as I simply had no desire to follow one. The idea of routinely doing any activity made me genuinely uncomfortable, so I didn't force myself into it. Why

Just Doing It
It's funny how such a simple set of words can be considered one of the most iconic and motivating slogans. Irrespective of what idea the tagline is rooted in, it can mean many things to many people. Going beyond limits. Being determined. Pushing past obstacles. To me, the

No Navigation for Real Life
I usually drive to my office with navigation on, and at every turn, it suggests an alternative route: 5 minutes faster. 7 minutes slower. The screen keeps flashing updates at me. But over time, I’ve learned to ignore them and stick to the route I know is best. After

When my health is down, it becomes challenging to focus. I have been spending a few such days since last few weeks now. I have been unable to focus on my health; instead, I am stressed about everything. That invariably leads to the pressure of things that are yet undone.

Getting Back to Health
After being sick for over a week, I feel slightly better today, allowing me to catch up on the stuff I am interested in. This period of slight calm was after multiple consultations and blood tests. Thankfully, every test came out negative. My illness turned out to be a severe

Solitude vs Loneliness
I knew the two conditions were different—the latter has an unhappy connotation—but I could never explain exactly why. Until I read this quote by Kent Nerburn, which brilliantly sums up how they differ. Solitude is a condition of peace that stands in direct opposition to loneliness. Loneliness is

Buffet
I love buffet meals because I can decide what and how much I want on my plate. I serve myself only a few items and go through them, a section at a time. Some I would not touch, and some I would eat a couple of times during the same
