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,…

Did you ever wish that you would rather be in a different place than you are right now? I did. I think it is normal for all of us to think of some dreamland where everything is going to be exactly in the way we want. A place that is anywhere but where we are…

Dear Facebook, I installed your app after many months so I can easily set one of the photos in my camera roll as a cover photo. This time I hoped to keep you on my iPhone. However I am disappointed that you haven’t stopped infesting my feed with “People You May Know” list. I understand…

My 2014 Countdown. This page also lists the principles behind my 2014 resolutions. These are based on my learning around behavioral science evangelized by Lift app. I’m going to keep the actual 2014 resolutions to myself because I’d like to delay the satisfaction until they are actually done. In other words, I’m avoiding the undue…
