The book club is mostly Ethiopians and we read a book that has been voted by the...

    Time to get out
    I don't think I have the stomach for volatility. It has been a few months since I got into crypto investing. I have to admit that I do not really understand it. I put off starting many projects with the hope that I will get mastery in the subject matter...
    Passion
    I had a long conversation with my mom today. She urged me to work on something I am passionate about.... a hobby of sorts. Given the type of year I have had, I had stopped working on many of the projects I had. It is only writing and cooking that...

Coming to America - Scott Adams Remix
Second week of the writing class I am taking with Abraham Kim and Daniel Miller . This weeks assignment is around learning sentence composition in the style of the author we want to mimic. I selected Scott Adams for this week and am rewriting a post I had written before....
K
It was fall 1999. It had been a few months since I came to the US. Still beaming and hopeful about what I could do and who I could become.
As I waited for the registration to clear up at the local community college, I looked for a job. I was...

    I am mildly curious about therapy. 
I have seen movies like 'Analyze this' and the show - 'Sopranos'. I learnt about what talking to a therapy looks like from those shows. But I am not sure if those shows are realistic.
I wonder how easy it is to talk to...

    If someone offered you a business opportunity where you can make 2 million dollars a day in revenue with substantial profit, would you take it?

Staycation remix
    Since COVID, I don't go out much. It is maybe groceries or doctor's appointment that gets me our of the house. Many doctors are also doing telehealth so even that is rare. After over a year of this house arrest, I felt like having a change of scenery. 
There isn't...
