Sleepy - Tired - Freshness

After a sleep when your mind is fresh you have ideas

After a sleep when you are clueless, it means you have not slept


From the frequent fruits Banana - Papaya - Grapes - Pomegranate

Papaya gives a bit of body ache

Sugarcane helps relieve body pain, digestion issues


When body hurts I feel I am aged :)

Good read - Burnout

Sometimes it feels like the FightClub movie

  • Everything is repetition
  • Everything is duplicate
  • Always shallow work and no deep work
  • Engaged and unproductive
  • Mismatched conversations / Hard to find like-minded people

Too much negativity with social media, expensive online food, always upskilling...

Some suggestions based on reading link

  • Take time off, like a month or more
  • You are worth more than you currently think you are
  • Switch jobs often (every couple of years), and be friendly and helpful (within reason) to your co-workers.
  • Life is a mix of all - 1 failed startup, 1 burnout episode, 1 travel the world & 1 family care

The Third Eye

Upgrading the OEM Headlights I was a bit skeptical. But I feel now it's long due

  • Better visibility at night
  • Better potholes, bumps
  • Less eye strain
  • Overtake better notification
  • Better safety with both road and vehicle visibility

OEM also should provide these options instead of after-market purchases.

Foods for Daily Health

A little of this helps long way - Garlic, Clove, Ginger, Beetroot, Papaya

Good Question - How to start developing critical thinking?

  • You are but an impression, and not at all what you seem to be
  • Things in our control are opinion, pursuit, desire, aversion, and, in a word, whatever are our own actions. 
  • Things not in our control are body, property, reputation, command, and, in one word, whatever are not our own actions
  • It means to examine something without any consideration where the conclusions lead.
