If only...

She couldn’t say it,
For she had been deceived earlier,

And he was just too careless,
To see in her eyes that she felt the same.

Unlove yourself

One fine day, some influencer proclaimed " Thou should'st love yourself ", and the world has been overflowing with love ever since. Russians have started smiling at tourists, Kohli started politely thanking batsmen for their service once they got out, and the global population reached its peak. While Delhites may disagree, love is now in the air.  However, now is the time to unlove.  Loving oneself has frankly given rise to mediocrity. The feedback loop breaks when you start loving yourself unconditionally. Loving yourself even after selecting Prasidh Krishna in the second test is just plain wrong. Sleeping peacefully after using comic sans font in a formal presentation is repulsive.

There is an urgent need to be self-critical, and self-aware for the civilization to prosper.  Moreover, some people don't deserve love, not e...

It was the best of times, it'll be the best of times

Historically, there has been a general consensus that present is the worst time after the big bang and not many learned people disagree. Bollywood buffs are sure best movies came out in the 60s-70s. The Cricket experts are unanimous in their opinion that best cricket was played in the 70s-90s. It’s widely believ...

Getting Things Done: A Beginner's Guide

Buddha said the world is full of suffering, and I have scrolled enough social media to realize that is indeed the case. Heck, it feels like doomsday is around the corner. There is just misery all around. Everyone has got something which needs to be done!   There are problems spanning decades and unresolved issues plaguing generations, and this is without counting the Indian men's cricket team's propensity to lose in knockout matches. Therefore, to no one's surprise, the modern world is looking for problem solvers, people who can deconstruct these multi-layered, nuanced points of contention and arrive at an acceptable solution.   With 29 years of experience at being alive, a few months at an MNC and now 2 odd months in government, I have some ideas that should help a newcomer become the go-to man for any crisis. Like any other success guru, these are not at all well-researched and are purely anecdotal in nature.    Let's start with the primary answer to problems - mon...
