Post of the week –

How this amazing medium helped me read more than 9 hours a week? – Re-sharing one of articles from couple of years back. This tells why I love audio.

Holy after eight!

Holy basil, spearmint with the base of black tea. This was a like a light mint you have after food.

Article I found interesting  —

How Tim Ferriss Survived Suicidal Depression and His Tools for Warding Off the Darkness – This article is a story of one of my favorite writers where he tells about his story of dark days when he almost committed suicide and how an incident helped him out to get out of that zone and the tools he used to stay away from that zone.

An intimate story, I think every person should read who is going through difficult times. It teaches a great lesson. To quote Tim in a very powerful sentence – “Killing yourself is like taking your pain, multiplying it by 10, and giving it to the ones who love you.”


What am I watching —

Brilliant Reason Why Neil deGrasse Tyson Doesn’t Put Cover on His iPhone– An intersting short clip of Neil deGrasse Tyson on why he doesn’t cover on his phone.


Quote I’m pondering on lately – 

“We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.”

— Swami Vivekananda


Until Next Saturday!

Poetry of the week –

Spark – Love your email again

Well, well, well!

After 2-3 weeks here is another app of the day recommendation.

This one is an email app. How did it make it here? Because this app is awesome.

Finally, an email app which did a lot of things right. It intelligently presents you with a smart inbox which groups your different mailboxes with intelligence as notifications in a different category, personal emails in different category and newsletter in a different category and it keeps on learning. The app developer has done a great job with attention to details with swipe features for archival, pinning, deletion and read/unread. This app shines truly.

Recently they have added a send later functionality as well, which makes it irresistible for professional users. Believe me, after downloading this app, I’ve lately deleted all other apps for email. This has become my go to email app.

Just in case if I got you curious, you can go check out this app –

  • iTunes App Store (for iPhone users)
  • Mac users – Download
  • Not available for Android as of yet
  • Not available for Windows as of yet

Article(s) I’m enjoying (and pondering)

This past week I experimented with Grayscaling my phone. This was recommended on LifeHacker, and it has been studied for dramatically reducing smart phone and social media use.

Here are instructions from Lifehacker:

“The process for enabling grayscale differs for different models of Android phones, but it’s typically accessed via the “Accessibility” menu. In iOS 10, go to Settings > General > Accessibility >Display Accommodations >Color Filters. Switch Color Filters on and select Grayscale. To easily toggle between color and grayscale, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut > Color Filters. Now, you just press the home button three times to enable grayscale. Triple-click again to go back to color.”


I’m reading/watching/listening to

Person of Interest – I started this old series a few weeks back and couldn’t stop the binge. This show is quite interesting with its plot of similar to the dark knight series, where the batman has access to all the camera’s and microphones in the city so basically he can see and listen to everything in the city. But in this series, there is no superhero character but a computer genius and an ex-assassin who have access to the similar machine and try to save the innocent lives. I think they are still superheroes without the cape.

If you have Amazon Prime subscription then here is the link to all the seasons – Amazon PrimeVideo
