My MBTI Journey
MBTI: I remember when I first encountered MBTI. It was introduced to me over beer, by a friend of a friend. He was a self-professed INTJ, and he was convinced that I was an ENTP. I thought it was fascinating. … Continue reading
Games from my childhood
SC3K: I remember getting Simcity 3000 for my birthday. I was terrible at it as a child- I’d spend hours terraforming the map into an unrealistic, geometrically perfect fakery with no trees and a perfectly straight river- and then build … Continue reading
The Love Of Reading
My most memorable reading happened on my bed in my parent’s room- I had a little table lamp of sorts that I’d put on the floor- it was the sort that could be moved around. I’d lie in bed with … Continue reading

at the end of the day, Oct 2007
As you start to encounter more people, it gets harder to watch everything you say or do, easier to give the wrong impression, and wrong information travels faster than anything else. You can’t talk to every single person, you can’t … Continue reading
me past self, on the past, oct 08
From time to time I like to think about the past. How it tells a story, and how it becomes a part of who we are. And perhaps more important than what happened is perspective; how we look at it … Continue reading
wanting to write memoirs, feb 2010
For quite some time now- perhaps since I read The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls and thought about Subhas Anandan, Socrates (The unexamined life is not worth living!), Lee Kuan Yew as well- I have been wanting to write the … Continue reading
