First four months of 2016
Since the start of this year, I exercised 50 hours and ran 15 5ks. Most importantly, I achieved one of the two resolutions for this year. I successfully completed Chaitanya 3.0 project. More details later. I am not doing very well on the second resolution: getting the perfect abs. I am failing to eat exceptionally well. I ate more junk,… Read more

There are no finish lines
I chanced upon a great quote today. There are no finish lines. It made prefect sense. This is something I keep in my mind with everything I do. My relationships, friendships, habits, and principles are all for my life. There are no finish lines. In the other news, I tried to keep quiet in Twitter and Facebook but I soon realized… Read more

Master yourself. Help others.
I recently wrote about how what I do aligns to “Master yourself, help others” philosophy I learned from Derek Sivers. I loved this philosophy so much that I want to make it my life motto and make sure everything I do fits into either of these buckets. This motto adds on to the four principles I practice.

Unsubscribe, Unfollow, Unread, Unfriend, Unplug.
One thing I started appreciating after becoming a dad is the value of time. Like many dads, being the best possible hands on dad is non-negotiable to me. You don’t need a lot of money to be a good parent but you certainly need a lot of time and patience, things money can’t buy. However, this is not the only… Read more

Habits and streaks
I clearly remember that July night in 2013. I discovered Medium and was on reading spree. Just like how I used to read any and every blog in 2006 when I discovered blogging. That Medium post was titled Deliberate Practice, one of my favorite subjects. It mainly talked about two points which I can’t recall at the moment. I have… Read more

New year resolutions
I did not have resolutions for 2014. Instead, I decided to plant and grow few habits that are worth pursuing for years. To help me get going, I made the following three rules for myself: Base goals on Identity. Not on Performance or Appearance. Rely on Habits and Processes. Not on Willpower. Believe in Evolution.
