After 100+ days of writing and daily podcasting, I have started thinking about style. Is that something we develop? Should one be bothered much about it. If we are trying to publish something yes.

How should a homework conversation with your kid go. What are the things one should keep in mind as a parent? What questions should we ask kids? Is there even a need for such a conversation?

Kids don’t get their driving license till they are a certain age. They are not allowed to drink or smoke. There are restrictions that the system puts on them.

Active Learning is a process I define as a very engaging intentional focussed form of learning which then would manifest in such a way that every act of consumption will result in some form of learning. In my opinion this becomes ever more important in current times when mindless content consumption can drain us all the beauty of life and that content fatigue becomes a never ending process.

We lived in a two story house and even going upstairs alone while people were in the house was kind of difficult.

There are generic ideas of what healthy can mean. But in my opinion what it means at age 20 or age 50 and what it means at age 90 can be different. But I think the best would be to start thinking of what would being healthy mean for me 2 years from now. And a two year mark is a good goal irrespective of what your age is.

Having some physical activity everyday or at least 3 to 5 days a week is what we hear people say. And there are people who do it and those who don’t. Those who do it also have their own routines and what they consider as their type of physical activity and how strenuous it should be. And then people do it for fun and not so fun. Even our goals for doing it are not necessarily the same. And that is...
