  • Need for speed

    Speed is the new mantra these days; whether at work or in personal life, the thrill of doing (& dismissing) at a faster pace is desirable.

    There is speed networking to get to greater efficiencies in socializing.  Then there is speed dating as relationships also get fast forwarded unlike millennials who spent years with one person. There also exists speed consuming i.e., watching Netflix at 1.5x as it’s too slow or videos at 2x to shortlist the best suited hack you are looking for.

    Sip, slow.

    I wonder if we have something more to blame than our shortened attention spans. Maybe it’s a supply demand issue, as plentiful is also a vain thing!

  • Hustle culture

    Is it always necessary to be busy? To keep moving, to struggle and to win? It does give us a momentous joy when victory is ours, but then wasn’t the journey also worth enjoying? After all that is where life happens. While it’s important to have an eye on the prize, did we get lost in the daily chase to cherish little joys of life?

    Enjoy the swim

    So say nay to the hustle culture. Hustle but at your own pace, with your own goals and in your own zone. More important is the zeal to live, the motivation to show up and the attitude to take things in stride. Winning or not, you are a champion anyways. So enjoy while you compete and complete the races of life with a smile drawn on your face. 💕
