I am fed up of reading the long posts from men that list down all the household tasks that, as per them, women do - as if they are the only tasks women can do. Funnily, they end it with “RespectWomen” hashtags.
Sorry, there’s no respect in your regressive thought. Sigh!
“BBQ is happiness!”
Nature paints in so many colours - but it pays special attention when it paints in white. It is gorgeous, it is healing.
What is silence? Is it the lack of any sound or is it the lack of any discernible sound? What do you need to attain calmness?
Today, I sat alone, reading for around an hour - time that I was the most focused in a very long time. I felt I was alone, I physically wasn’t. I realised this only once I was out of my trance.
I was surrounded by a persistent hustle-bustle of the regularities of a working day. People chattering over a cup of coffee. Muffled, at the same time distinctly recognisable, voices of the labourers working outside the window. Rambles of the passing trains every now and then.
There was a lot of sound, a lot of noise around me. But there was silence within - I have come to realise it works way better to calm one down than the silence outside.
How ergonomical are the ergonomic mouse in reality - especially the vertical ones? I am seriously considering buying just to see if it helps. I am worried the frequent pains in the wrist are only to increase further. Not something I can live with given my profession.
I have decided that I will skip the iOS public betas this year. iOS 13 betas just haven’t been stable enough right from WWDC time. And the dark mode can wait. Sure, would have loved to get used to iPadOS early - but am not ready to pay the price for my impatience.
The concept of dreams always fascinate me. There are dreams that jerk you out of the sleep. And there are those that make you put yourself back to sleep, if you leave them unfinished.
There are dreams that can give you sleepless nights. And there are those that can make your sleep the happiest phase of your day.
You follow some dreams with a wish that someday you will fulfil them and they become fact.
You run away from some facts, some realities of your life, hoping that they were, well, mere a dream.
Even with all the scientific advances we have made, we can’t make up our minds about whether the sleep session full of dreams is better or one without any.
Some say dreams are mysterious. Some say mysteries are dreamy.
Dreamy - do they mean “dreamy” as in marvellous or dim, vague?
Whatever, dreams always fascinate me.
Apparently, less than half of Google searches now result in a click — that percentage is even lesser on mobile devices. Google’s push to provide direct answers via feature snippets is working well for them. But it isn’t for the websites that the content was scrapped from.
It is tiring to make decisions. Because the judgement that follows after every decision invariably forces one to question whether it was worth the enforced change. I published some quick thoughts recently on making decisions.
It is very tiring to make decisions. There appears to exist a popular perception that decision, once made, leads to some irreversible change to the currently “working state”. What, then, one has to decide is whether the change was good or bad, and so whether the decision made was right or wrong.
This judgement that follows after every decision invariably forces one to question whether it was worth the enforced change. The fear of making the wrong decision is the reason, more often than not, behind the lack inclination to change.
You can be deciding what gift to buy for someone or who to choose to be your life partner. It does not matter whether the decision to be made is critical or trivial. Our subconscious is always at work, judging our every decision.
However, it is up to you to not let this fear of judgement drive how you lead your life. It is easier to overcome the wrong decisions you make than to lead a life being too indecisive.
