Unlike before we are not just connected to just a few people. We are connected to many and we also get to know new people every week.

#200 A Writing Project with your kids 11.07.2021

When my daughter was in high school I had done a year long writing project with her and it was mostly a Q&A. I post a question and she answers me and then we would discuss about it and so on. We did that for 365 days. This was around 7 years back I guess. Now our son gets into high school this year and I wanted to restart the same project. Either I have to use the same questions again or may b...

#199 Changing the Genre I am reading 10.07.2021

My reading over the past year and a half has been all Non fiction. May be I did read one or two novels in malayalam. I have been mostly reading on social sciences, economics, anthropology, Tech and Business, Data and so on. And to be honest while it was fun, I am slowly getting overwhelmed with all these information and losing the fun of reading. And I need to switch my genre. Join Our Community o...

#197 How our Life feels vs How our life looks like to others 08.07.2021

We are going through a time when how our life looks to others is more important than how it really feels. Constantly opening ourselves to the eyes of others. Ready to be judged, liked, shared and disliked… it has become all about how it looks. I often wonder why do we do that or more precisely why do I do it.

#196 We are responsible for our time 07.07.2021

Time is that only resource we all have in equal quantities. It is also one resource that we have some control over. Control over what value it generates. And yet we end up wasting a lot of it.

#195 So Can’t I be myself anymore? 06.07.2021

I am of the opinion that we all should be ourselves and should not care for what other people think. That thought comes from the basic premise that there is so much that the society and others impose on our free thought. That said there is also a trap in here which we should address. I often wonder why do we do that or more precisely why do I do it. If you think the Podcast is adding value to your...

#194 OK, so now it is my fault 05.07.2021

Finding fault is a behavior we come across in people. I will not say this is only a trait we can see in others but we are equally susceptible to this behavior. I personally have found fault and in some cases tried to find fault and later found out I was wrong. I often wonder why do we do that or more precisely why do I do it.
