As the year comes to an end I feel a weird nervousness that I am unable to fully explain. It feels like something important is slipping away from me that will never come back. When I think about the Christmas and New Year holidays that went by, I realize that I miss the comfort it brought me, the feeling that life had paused for a moment and everything felt a little safer and easier. Now that the holidays are over that feeling of comfort is gone and it makes me anxious becaus

In the year 2021, I came up with an idea for an app that I truly believed had great potential and could make a meaningful impact on many peoples lives. I thought the idea was new and valuable because it was meant to help people turn their everyday skill into real opportunity, especially the one that often went unnoticed or unutilized.

Today morning when I woke up, I felt so drowsy and my eyes were open, but my mind was still half asleep. I sat for some time, but I did not feel like starting my work or learning anything new. As a matter of fact, this is now happening to me almost daily. I have noticed that my mornings were starting to become unproductive and my contributions to early morning meetings are just satisfactory. Often I feel my brain gets foggy at the time when I need to think and come up with a

Recently, I had an uncomfortable but eye opening moment. A stranger confronted my young child directly over a misunderstanding. As a parent, I stayed relatively calm. I politely pointed out that if he had concerns, he should have spoken to me and not directly to a minor. The stranger’s face shifted quickly, he went from defensive to being irritated and even tried covering his mistake with small lies. He didn’t say sorry, but his silence as he walked away said enough.

I had always observed this vaguely, but only recently did I start giving it more attention and thought. That curiosity led me to some truly fascinating insights about how the human mind works. It started with small things like a friend who passionately advocates for sustainability but casually throws plastic bottles in the trash. Someone, including myself who talks about how important health is, but skips sleep and lives on junk food. Another who says they hate drama and dram
