Retrospective
Divorce

I have written on this topic less than a month ago. Love and romance seem to be oscillating on my mind as I watch Netflix and think about listening and ego.

Today I heard Bill and Melinda Gates are getting a divorce after 27 years of marriage. For some reason, that...

Cooking

I am a competition junkie. When I look at all my favorite reality tv shows, they are all around competition of some sort. The latest on is chopped. A cooking competition show. I have been watching the show for the last few months. 

I don't remember what got me started. But...

New experience

Today I met a functional medicine doctor for the first time ever. 
I have read enough books that promote seeing a holistic doctor. Due to the state of the healthcare system in the US, a person usually gets assigned a doctor based on the most recent symptoms. That is usually...

Retrospective
Listening

I have been watching a bunch of Indian and Pakistani movies lately. Ever since the White Tiger, Netflix has been recommending a bunch of movies from the two countries. And I have been enjoying it more than I expected. 

I have seen a few love stories as well. I typically...

Retrospective
Post

It was over a year ago that some of us started to write about corona when it first started showing up in the news. We were all scattered around the globe but we had similar fears and observations. 

I recall sharing that I was feeling afraid. Though there have been...

Retrospective
Trauma

I was at an event at WeWork one evening in 2019. I forget what the event was about but I remember the people. All of them looked like they were serious about hustling and finding financial independence. I loved it.

There was one Ethiopian guy at the event... I knew...

Retrospective
Warriors

Thanks to the recommendation by a few writers I met here, I started watching the show called Warriors. 
From the initial moment, I was hooked. The show has the perfect amount of martial arts, drama, conversation and above all historical context that I wasn't aware of. I will be watching both...
