A lot of folks have been asking me for my Peru trip itinerary, so I thought of putting it down here for convenience. I traveled solo, stayed there for 10 days, and did not feel scared, even for a day. I saw very high mountains, historical places, several waterfalls, orchids, flowers, coffee farms, and small villages on the trip. Truly life-changing. Continue reading Peru trip
This week has been extremely tough for me. I am talking about Meta Layoffs. I will refrain from commenting on it on my personal blog, but it’s not been very good, to say the least. I did not expect this to happen at the beginning of the festive season. I wasn’t laid off, so I can sit here in some peace and write this blog. … Continue reading seasonal updates
“What qualities do you not want in your partner?” I asked some guy somewhere sometime back. He said, “I don’t want someone who is stubborn and is one of those feminist types… ummm.” “Feminist types?! What do you mean? So, are you against feminism?” “No noo… I am not against feminism. But, I think the feminist types are too loud and opinionated. They always want … Continue reading why is feminism still relevant?
I already mentioned in one of the posts that I was moving to New York. And yes, I have moved now. I came here directly from India. I have been so so so busy with the relocation. In the past two months, I had so much going on. I had so many different experiences; I wish I had enough energy to write them down. So, … Continue reading san francisco → new york
It’s been more than two weeks since I came to India. So, it’s finally time to sit and reflect. Thanks to all the fantastic food I am eating, my brain cells are working better than ever. India… India India India… India has changed so much yet not changed at all. I was here roughly two years back. Everything is cashless now —literally everything. I went … Continue reading India tripping
What consumes your mind, controls your life. Mel Robbins I started this blog to self-reflect on my behavior and improve myself. Unfortunately, I think I got side-tracked. I stopped thinking of everything wrong with me and tried to write something which sounded more clever. I should stop it. I say this today because I sat for two hours on the couch just trying to think … Continue reading reflecting back
Disclaimer – I wrote this about two weeks back when the controversy happened. I just never posted it. I finally had some time to work on this draft. Why am I writing about this? Because my commute to the Menlo Park office is one damn hour – ONE WAY. So, I would work/write instead than look outside. Ohh, no, I do look outside. I don’t … Continue reading #whatjusthappened
Nowadays, I see a lot of people on the roads. Once empty, San Francisco streets are now beaming with vehicles. People are lining up outside the restaurants. I see employees riding their bikes to go to offices at 9 pm for their morning stand-up. I see many of my friends going back to offices for free lunch HAHAHA. My gym mates have stopped using face … Continue reading seven hundred plus days
Hello there! Today is January 17th, 2022, and I was supposed to write my 2021 post back in December. Look at me. Completely shameless. 🤗 Not like I forgot about it. My inner consciousness wouldn’t let me forget it, LOL. 😵💫 But look at this lazy bum who managed to procrastinate 17 full days post the start of the year. 🥴 Shraddha Shraddha Shraddha, please … Continue reading year in review – 2021
People sit by the lakes, waterfalls, mountains and capture their sentiments into abstract things like a drawing or a note – I envy them so much. I wish to be that person someday. I see things, but I do not observe them – I listen to podcasts, but I do not reasonably think about what I heard. I wish to be the person who can … Continue reading i am going to tell stories
