Hello again and welcome to my world! How have you been? This is time for a recap of my week. My Office: Work week was okay. I had to work a couple of hours extra on Tuesday, to attend a call with US folks. This timezone difference is still a bit of concern. Staying late…

The week that was: #8
Hello everyone! This is time for a recap of my week. I am a little sad. My dad travelled back to my hometown. My fight with sleep continues. I am writing like a maniac these days. I have too much time to write, you see. :p Yes, I am trying to be positive, but I…

Hello everyone! This is time for a recap of my week. I am feeling so lethargic. I know, it is not the best way to start the post, but this is what I feel. All through the week, I have struggled to sleep. with two or three hours of sleep every night; I can’t expect…

Tips to replenish your wardrobe at zero cost

Is the Universe conspiring against me?
I’m nobody. But that doesn’t stop my mind from wandering and imagining things. A little bit of schizophrenia there. to make it worse, if there are things happening repeatedly which are not so desirable and not so frequent otherwise, I inadvertently think about a conspiracy. Of late, our team is asked to do on-call support,…
