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

Corruption & Power
Power

At the start of this year, I decided that I wanted to understand power and corruption more than I do. After witnessing some changes in people I knew, I developed an interest in the concept of power and corruption. I even watched the show breaking bad on Netflix since it...

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...

Retrospective
Start over

I read this interesting question online today - "If you could start over in an area where you have failed, what would you do differently?"

I wanted to think about this question in 4 areas of my life. I don't feel like I have failed in them but they are just...

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...

Retrospective
Therapy

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...

Retrospective
Would you?

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?

I just read this article about the casinos in Maryland making $169 million revenue in March of this year. I started to wonder about the business...

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.
