Which is the easiest workout when you are short on workout equipment?

I remember this situation where I was in a home rental in Mussorie without any equipment to exercise. This is when I used to be serious about bulking up and wasn't carrying anything extra that had to be cut. This is when I realized that with a couple of bricks, some stairs, and a bit of determination & creativity, exercising without equipment is possible. The dependency on machinery is more due to what we start believing in as irreplaceable workout essentials - heavy equipment should be on this list!

Why Fries? Are we ruining the entire burger experience?

This question has always been there in my mind. Am already having a bun stuffed with fried patty and the stuff is dripping juices and sauces and dressings. I am getting a mouthful of bites with plenty to chew. What is eating is not light and seldom needs a follow-up or sides to reach satiety levels. Why do I need the fries? Why would people even ask for fries, let alone pay for them rather than requesting a better-filled, more saturated burger experience? Usually, these fries feel sloppy and an unwanted add-on. I don’t mind a bit more veggies in the burger as they add more crunch to the bite. Fries don’t make sense because I don’t want to pause during the burger-eating expedition and deviate from what the taste glands are experiencing.

Catching-up with Malgudi…a place that existed on TV, where my childhood still stays

We have been Amazon Prime members for some time but the emphasis has always been on catching-up with the most trending short series and highly debates characters. Last night, we revisited Malgudi Days. We watched around three episodes and I realized what had changed all this while, while I was away from such moments—the Simplicity of Life. This was during the last part of the 80s and I was nowhere close to having found myself. Well, am still struggling on that part but this was a phase when food of any type was exciting, finding mom at home was a blessed day, getting pop to buy us ice-cream was God-sent wishes come true, and in essence, Life was simple. What went wrong between the Malgudi Days era and the rise of Thanos? I got detached. I lost the bond with the simplest pleasures in Life. I allowed opinions and must-do perceptions to take over. The things I assumed were meant to be there became dearer and my thought process got more branded. The Malgudi days [of my life], were about loving sleeping on the cold concrete floor at my naani’s home, they were about romancing the samosa, and allowing nothing to build-up in the mind. Now, there are days when I feel my heart will explode simply because there are so many beautiful things undone, unvisited, un-attempted, and perhaps unattainable. The tragedy is that even as I watching this, we exchanged notes on which brand of mustard sauce was better with dip-snacks, planning another visit to the sacred mall. Now, Swami/my Malgudi self would have never planned so much…

What if you didn't have a bestie? What if the everlasting friendship never got underway...

So, how does it feel to have one for the majority of your lifespan? Isn’t it nice to have someone whom you grew up with and who won’t leave your side? These are phrases reworded somewhat incorrectly but borrowed from appreciated movies and books. They talk about besties and best friends. They talk about bonds that don’t weaken as time passes, as Life takes a toll, even when it seems there is nothing much to gain from. I have come sporadically close to feeling something like this but realistically, never really got there. This is weird considering I was among the most liked fellows in the group. I was a favorite among the aunties, uncles, and teachers. Cousins were envious of me and my parents were always proud of me.

pre-empting the final goodbyes...the ones that will mean the most.


Yup, this is trying to blog after one of those heavily emotional, thought-drenched moments that I encounter these days. I am the biggest advocate for sayings that put the focus on families to be the craziest bunch. I have my grudges and I can complain till eternity. But then, there are moments when I realize that perhaps not everyone is a natural at parenting. Many of them got into parenting, hoping life would teach them along the way, equip them with all the accessories needed to ensure that a family stays well-knit, as closely packed as a bunch of newly-born puppies. Similarly, not all of them realized or got the reality-check that there is a hell lot of planning to do, there is too much at stake, and that parenting is a postcard that never reaches its recipients when it should. So, what am I babbling about?

The DIY approach thing for normal work days, week days...

I don't recall creating too many reminders as a kid, teenager, student or an associated. The same habit has persisted at the Managerial bandwidth too. I just cannot create a checklist and tick-off the tasks scheduled for the day. However, there are some things that I am trying to do these days. This is a very short list, only in my mind and does not have any MBA-influenced solutions. When you are under-staffed and struggling to keep-up the motivation levels, a few reminders like these can be handy to keep yourself afloat no matter how challenging it gets. Reaching out and starting a conversation remains my biggest challenge and the fact that I never lie about my true intentions stands-out as the big engaging factor for anyone communication across the table, with me...
