February 3, 2016 It had been my second winter break since I moved to New York. As excited as I was to go back the first time, I was that much more apprehensive the second time around. A lot had changed. I, myself, was in a transition, just about stumbling upon my own sense of […]
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. […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
Pretty much. I moved to NY over 2 years ago, a young girl, shielded and linear. Most of the times I was told what to do and I simply obeyed. To be fully honest it wasn’t complete compliance, and the small remnants from each time is probably what stirred the whirlwind of changes that I […]
Today is as good a day as any to really question what is driving you? Do you really know what it is? A little context would be to trace back these last few hours which have been devastating yet indisputably historic. We are living in the most unreal times – things we brushed off thinking […]
“SEM is the current state of marketing – with the highest ROI.” Bet you weren’t expecting a start like that? But seriously, how many times have we heard this statement, just this year! As someone whose heart beats for stories, I had never thought that when the time came for my first big job in […]
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 […]
To this day, I can’t walk past a Barnes & Noble or The Strand, without peeking in to take a quick stroll. Result: I ALWAYS walk out with a book. Yes, it’s the age of Kindle and iBooks, but I’m still the traditional touch-and-feel person. So today, when I walked by the store, the new […]
