App of the week –

Disk Drill

This is a data recovery app, recently due to power failure one of my external harddrive stopped showing one of my backup folders which contained all the backups of my devices. Loosing it would have been a big crisis. While searching for a data recovery tool, I found Disk Drill app for Mac. I Installed it and it started showing all the deleted data which I could recover, from the day one of the drive. If you are in that kind of situation, try it once it will just blow your mind.

It’s available both for Windows and Mac on their website.

Article I’m pondering on – The Evolution of Anxiety: Why We Worry and What to Do About It – This is an interesting article on how human brain has evolved from being in an ‘immediate return environment’ to a ‘delayed return environment’. That caused an evolution of anxiety as well. But this article also provides solution to this problem and how to reduce that anxiety.


Re-listening this old song —This is a song of one of my favourite bands ‘JAL’ from their days together –


Quote I’m pondering on lately – 

“Divide each difficulty into as many parts as is feasible and necessary to resolve it.”

Book I’m re-listening  —

 The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman – I’m listening to this book for the second time on Audible. It’s one of the very good fiction books I have ever read, apart from the story and characters, Neil Gaiman who has written this book has also narrated this book in his own voice, does a mind-blowing job. He takes you to a completely different world the of the dead, the ghouls and the witches which is not actually spooky. If you want to get away from your world and problems for sometime, listen to this book while driving car or commuting to work, this book will be worth you time.


What am I listening –

Federico Aubele – Maria Jose – I’m listening to this old Spanish album of Federico Aubele. It’s great to write on this music. It’s groovy and it can put you in a rhythm. Great listen.


Quote I’m pondering on lately – 

“Poetry heals the wounds inflicted by reason.”

— Novalis

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.”

Memory Box!

She just entered in the big white room.

It was lit like cool day light. White! But one could tell where the walls met in this white room.

She was standing in the center of the floor. She closed her eyes.

The room drifted into darkness, it wasn’t white anymore.

After a few minutes she gasped and took a deep breathe while opening her eyes. hhhhhhh!

Article I’m pondering on  —

Difference between Gargoyles vs. Grotesque. – If you wonder about the Gothic structures like I do when I’m walking the streets of South Bombay. It always made me curious when I saw ugly sculptures sitting fixed on those beautiful buildings some sprouted water and some didn’t.

This article will solve that mystery. Check it out.


What am I watching —

Perspective – Re-sharing one of my favourite apple videos. It is inspiring, it provokes emotions. Maybe it will help you see things differently.

Person I ‘m fascinated with  —

Elon Musk – He is the founder of some of the revolutionary companies like SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink and The boring company. Before that, he was one of the founders of PayPal which eBay acquired and gave him a wealth of US$ 165 Millions. Right now Elon’s net worth is US$20.2 billion (source).

He is like real life Iron Man. Has the mind of an engineer and a problem solver. I’m just fascinated with how he is executing all of his plans. Mainly it is because he has the money now and a bunch of teams working for him round the clock but still as an individual how much he is accomplishing is almost superhuman.


A new gadget in my wishlist —

A gadget to make your dumb airconditioner smart – I’m fascinated with all things automation, so while doing research on new (home) automation products. I stumbled upon this gadget which can connect your old split or window ac (basically any ac with an infrared remote) with your wifi and hence you can control it from anywhere. You can also do geofencing with it. So that if you come in the radius of certain meters of your house it automatically can turn on the AC and vice versa.


Quote I’m pondering on lately – 

“The good in life does not depend on life’s length, but upon the use we make of it. It is possible, or rather usual, for a man who has lived long, lived too little.”

— Seneca the Younger
