You can read the previous part here… So I had provisioned for a quiet day, without work and spent largely with myself. Am liking it, but will be raring to go back to work and family, and Vetāla by tomorrow. See you then. And yes, GO TAKE THE VACCINE! Tomorrow, I become invincible. Or maybe …
Read the previous part here. Aha. So I wrote this yesterday, and opportunity presented itself today. Actually, I wouldn’t call it a welcome opportunity, but well, it is what it is. And so I will have to err…walk the talk. You know, it’s so easy to slip into old habits, it’s almost funny. Here you …
We have all been there isn’t it? The big resolve to do something, to start anew. An exercise regime, a diet, a new productivity mantra, a new way of working… This usually follows a bell-shaped curve. Start from zero, an accelerated approach towards a peak, when you are exactly where you want to be…and then …

Yes, you read it right…the instant MBBS degree is now available on major online e-learning platforms. In fact, you must have already received a call from your friendly neighbourhood pushy Byju’s salesman. Pity those who wasted 5-7 years of their lives slogging through medical school, when all they needed to do is get this instant …
Status-quo bias – The tendency for people to stay committed to current situations, for fear of changing to the unknown. Status quo bias is also caused by laziness, aversion to complexity, unnatural learning style demands, reading small print, etc. Am reading this book – Nudge – by Richard H Thaler and Cass R Sunstein. The crux of the …
A season of debates. Actually, a day of debates. From politics, to relationships, to services. It is tough to debate. It is easy to fight yes. Look no further than the Lok Sabha.

I know, I am back to a post on COVID. But I cannot help it, and nor can you. It is all over the news, Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp, casual talk, and even worse – in houses close to you. It is affecting people close to you. Taking some away… What did we do to deserve …
