Myself. Yes. It is true. Before I even begin, let me tell you that this is not going to be a post about self pity or praise, nor one where I pour my heart out about my past to find answers for my present; if there is one thing I’ve learnt, it’s this – there is no […]

A Writer’s Traces
An empty liquor bottle, a couple of lighters, and then there was the pencil; all abandoned on the train track; a story. Traces of a writer, you know the kind who writes to be inspired. Such species, they search for larger meaning in worldly things; who take things personally, feel extreme joy and dejection as a […]
Going Gonzo
Unabridged. Unadulterated. Unbridled. Lately, I’m seeing a pattern in my life, where I stumble upon things that are perfectly aligned with my thoughts, only to augment my vision, enrich my perspective. They say as soon as you start owning your own, initiate that first intent toward your goal, the universe actualizes every effort to align with you. […]
Forward Is The Only Way
Often after a long day at work, on my subway ride back home, I drift into a series of contemplative thoughts. Today it was a combination of more than a couple of reasons — a sense of uncertainty, due to both internal and external circumstances, an article on a concept used by a commercial, amidst those thoughts, a Medium […]
One Step Forward
312 days. Along this journey, which by no means is complete (or even close to), I’ve stumbled a million times, fallen a few hundred of those, and even failed in some versions. But somehow, I found it in myself, and through stories of others, to keep moving forward, one foot in front of the other. […]
My Offline Blog
Here’s to rescuing every thought in my mind, and releasing it into reality! Greenlight Bookstore – I didn’t even know what I was looking for, browsing through all those notebooks. It’s a weakness, I tell myself. In reality, I think it’s an addiction – my addiction for words, for stories. Although a lot of my stories […]
The Fondest Ones
As the year comes to a close, and we stand at the onset of yet another new one, I’m embracing a new mindset, a new direction, for a new, better me. But some of the fondest memories that make me ME will always be from my childhood, the start of my story. I don’t remember […]
What’s Better than The New York Times?
A blog maybe? Better yet – an authentic blog. Something you’ll hear me say often is, “We live in an era of inauthentic authenticity.” I truly believe this – Everyone knows how to be politically correct, to say the ‘right’ things, to get the ‘right’ attention, or rather saying things that tap into the buzz […]
When GaryVee Calls
1 minute is eternity, every second of the sixty is fire, and the moment is not only epic, but historic. Apologies for the short post, but I had to share my excitement, in fact excitement is underrated right now, I’m exploding! And what better way to express this emotion but through my writing, the purpose […]
What Your Ivy League Degree Will NOT Teach You?
As a part of my morning routine to catch up with Twitter, this morning, a tweet from the digital evangelist Vala Afshar of Salesforce fame got me thinking about the value of education. What does being “educated” do for you? The reason for the quotes is to call out the fact that I’m talking about […]
