Mandela

I was a young child living in India when I first heard of Nelson Mandela. 27 years in prison. And he was still in prison when I first heard of him. It was difficult to understand the scale of what was being done to the man and the country of...

Deliberate practice

It's been 3 weeks since the writing class I joined with Sir Abe and Daniel Miller. I have participated in about 3 assignments and spent several hours researching. Here are my thoughts on the class:

Changing my mind about crypto

Over the past few weeks, crypto has fallen like no other investment I have ever followed. At first it was Musk and his nonsense tweets. Then it was some problem with China and today - yet another news from China.

Reading

This month, I got back to reading books. 
When I say reading, I mean listening to audible. It has been a while since I read a physical book. Audible seems ideal right now - with driving, cleaning up, cooking and working out. I particularly like to listen for about 30...

Mastery
Resulting

It is Sunday night and I spent a few hours watching poker after dark on Youtube today. Here is the story of how I ended up watching poker.

Coming to America - Robbed


My first job in the US was being a cashier at a local KMART. Being a young immigrant with a lot of dreams, I was excited at the prospect of getting paid every two weeks.
