Importance of Writing

-
It's a rare thing to write. Some say they have not time or patience or down right interest to pen down a few thoughts that come to mind. I beg to differ though. One should not write just to express themselves, instead it helps you maintain a track of your thought process and overall ability to convey ideas/thoughts. Maintaining a diary definitely comes very close in the sense that you actually get to write how your day was, etc., Writing however goes a step beyond that. As nice it maybe to keep a track of one's thoughts, it's also very important to note how expressive you were earlier.

When I read my first blog post, to this day I burst into laughter as to how naive I was in terms of conveying my thoughts. Today, I could articulate those thoughts so much better and this definitely boosts my confidence. It helps me realise that I'm headed in the right track. While it has definitely improved my abilities to express emotions better, it's also a fantastic way to keep track of my mentality as a whole. So it's a diary with a twist! Go on, jot down those thoughts. Someday you'll look back and realise how carefree/careful you were because in retrospect things always look better. Not many like the present. We are designed to hark back to our past, dig out happiness from it. Let's not waste anymore time now shall we?

From 'Have To' to 'Want To'

Ok, so this was a long time in the making.  One of the suggestions I got to keep fit was to start running everyday, or at least 4 times a week. It did not necessarily mean I had to torture myself or even blame myself for skipping a day or two. The idea behind it was to inculcate a sense of discipline that a gym would probably fail to since going to a specific place to be in shape gets boring after a while (probably). Running takes away the certainty from the equation which means there is always something new to look forward to.  Research has time and again showed us that we think a lot better when we are on the move. This explains why some of the greatest minds always took long walks while introspecting or just walking their peers through their ideas. To be honest, none of this made any sense in the beginning. A typical couch potato, I would refuse to step out for a breath of fresh air instead, utilising the time to re-watch some Dragonball Z, which could definitely have waite...

Of Stories, Conversations and Home

One of the best stories I've heard so far goes like this. In an island of great prosperity, there once lived a group of people who were self sufficient. While the elders went fishing in the morning or worked in fields, children went to school and in the evening, they would gather to talk about the day, celebrate their food, play, sing and dance. It was a harmonious environment that the so called 'modern' world would die to achieve. One day, a bunch of people in suits arrive in a bid to promote their business in this hugely prosperous land. The pitch goes like this - Instead of just fishing enough for your family, why don't you try to catch more and export them, make a ton of money, build a great port, send your children to schools around the world and put yourselves on the map? The locals go - Ok, so what next? To this, our man in the Armani cut suit says - After doing all this, sell all your boats, leave behind all the unnecessary things you bought when you w...

How Hard is it to Apple, Apple?

As someone who is curious about success stories, I laud Apple for their comeback in the computing world with the iPhone. Before you dismiss the article as a fanboy Writeup, my two cents would be to give it a read. This is a vague follow up to my previous post on how Blackberry and Nokia let me down with promI sing starts, but unsustainable ideas.  Without doubt, the iPhone is one of Apple's greatest achievements.  Most credit their marketing efforts to lure customers into buying them, making it a major source of revenue with iPads slowly declining in demand and iPods turning to legacy devices exclusively for fans or kids who cannot be handed over an iPhone. But this article shows how great marketing can only succeed with a great product and unified vision of a company.  While the Mac continues to innovate in it’s own space, there is little to no doubt that with the advent of Windows 10, the PC market is going to boom in the coming years and Microsoft’s reinvigorated focus...
