P3: Run Half Marathon Under 1:30 — Log

Status: In Progress — It has been four years and ten months since I ran my first half-marathon race on March 18, 2018. It was the Publix Half, and I completed it a few seconds under 1:30 on the race clock. That was the fastest I had ever been in my life. Since then…

300 Seconds

I am writing code, here and there. Most land in the AWS Lambda. I will try to write more about these here. All coding blogs are boring though. I only read them, when I need them. This one has to be different. I am not sure how it can be.

P2: Run 31 Consecutive days — Log

Status: Succeeded — I have been running for a few years now. I think there are many benefits of running. Being able to eat more bagels, maintaining a more balanced blood sugar level, producing more brain cells are some of which I can remember. Like all good things, running requires commitment and then…

P1: Lessons Learned

I have been listening to books more than I have been reading for the past year or so. As I drive or commute often these days, listening a book is the best way to get the most out of my idle time while driving. I’ve finished ~50 books on Audible. …

Relativity of Work

When you see an object in the distance, if this object is something you see for the first time and there is nothing next to it to compare, it is impossible to judge its size. …

On Being Right

I experienced enough to know, nothing is as it seems. Stories we tell to ourselves to describe events or find reasons why things happen also change as we evolve and experience life. While I am writing this as if it is a fact, these sentences might be the results of…

On Idea

Sometimes, I think about what “idea” is. Idea is a like a bridge between islands of knowledge. It is a path not readily available, but visible all of a sudden. It is there if it is, not there if it is not. You can’t describe an idea before having it…

Magic It Is…

Mind is Conditioned

World has to stop if it is what it takes. You can’t drive a car with parts falling apart. You can’t predict when the moving parts are so many. You just can’t succeed no matter how hard you try, how much you want. You can’t go fast with flat tires…
