Top of the morning!
Top of the morning to you! (Brings you coffee and a sunflower) Since yesterday’s vibe out and today’s vibe back in, a bunch of things happened. The best being I spent time with a close friend. After a month or so. Now this won’t be ultra-exciting on adult parameters but I’m just learning. I mean…

Mornings, climate convos and being better
Good morning! I love my mornings. It’s like having a couple extra hours for myself – which nobody else has. Nobody will text me. Nobody will need my thoughts on things. Nobody will tell me this is not the right way to be. I can pick my spot in coffee shops. I can sit on…

On yesterday.
Goooooood morning, sunshines! It is morning in my part of the world. I have my PS-Cold Brew, left home in just 40 mins, little traffic, finished the YC video, sorted most of the mini-roadblocks on Daily DD things and I. AM. HAPPY. Yesterday was Ganpati Day 1. I ended up visiting a bunch of people.…

A great adventure <3
These are MY people. One year back, I stumbled upon an eccentric man’s website. So I tweeted him a hello-let’s-do-something-together. That is how I met Saurabh Garg, Chandni Menda and Pooja Sahatiya. And the rest of C4E of course. We’re a village that way. Thing is, C4E is THE VILLAGE it takes. The village it takes to build things. To build a life.…

One year later: This piece is probably too honest to be on the Internet – pt 1
Every single promise that you make to yourself and do not keep gnaws on you. Chisels you into a loser. I strongly believe in this. So every time I pledge to some form of consistency or discipline and fail to live up to my word, I lose one tiny unit of trust in my ability…

5/21 things I unlearnt at 21
Mental clutter/Commentary: Hello, hello! Good morning 🙂 When I went to bed last night, I thought I would wake up and write something titled – Postcards from my 21st Birthday. However, having woken up a little late, doing a v smol workout and making myself a really pretty breakfast, I think I do not want…
