More not than often: February 2015
http://morenotthanoften.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
More not than often. Sunday, February 22, 2015. Changing By The Minute. It would seem that a person's thoughts, views, opinions etc. are constant. At least this is what I thought. Turns out, I myself am an exception to this. I have noticed that whenever I expose myself to some new idea, I either pursue it to death, or I hate it. Then, in some time, a week, a couple of months, or until a friend makes me do the opposite . yes, you guessed it right. Sunday, February 22, 2015. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

More not than often: June 2015
http://morenotthanoften.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
More not than often. Wednesday, June 17, 2015. Worst that can happen. Someone yesterday asked me how to deal with a new task at her job. This particular thing was filling her with anxiety and stress. My response was to think of the worst possible long term scenario with that thing, and then realize that she won't reach that bad a state. Basically, this is thinking what is the worst that can happen? Wednesday, June 17, 2015. Sunday, June 14, 2015. A few times, not more than 3 or 4, people have asked me if...

More not than often: Want some water? Or tea?
http://morenotthanoften.blogspot.com/2016/10/want-some-water-or-tea.html
More not than often. Friday, October 21, 2016. As children, we were taught to always offer water to anyone who comes to our home. Guests, friends, delivery persons, electricians, plumbers and so on and so forth. My parents, especially my mother spent a lot of time and effort on this. I haven't thanked my coworker for the compliment. Not yet. I don't know why I wrote this post. Most likely because I have not written since some time. Also, no idea why, I try not to start sentences with "I", but more often ...

More not than often. Tuesday, March 31, 2015. History Repeats Itself. Sometimes Too Soon. Three of us were chatting at the workplace today. Both were seniors and elder to me, and one of them mentioned generation gap. He was irritated and amused that our generation. Somehow thinks that his generation is one of idiots. He was even more irritated and amused because he remembered thinking the same about the generation before him. He pointed out that this pattern repeats with every new generation. This curren...

More not than often: April 2015

More not than often. Monday, April 27, 2015. Omnious or just Unlucky? Many times we hear of someone being omnious. Mostly because they underwent some sort of personal tragedy. This is so prevalent, it almost seems true. Oh, they can't have a child. Must have done some sort of bad things in a previous life. She just sits and stares into the wall, must be some kind of bad luck. We just assume a negative person is inherently negative and therefore in a situation of suffering. For want of a better word ).

More not than often: Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin
http://morenotthanoften.blogspot.com/2016/12/autobiography-of-benjamin-franklin.html
More not than often. Tuesday, December 6, 2016. Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin. Is an initiative and website that offers such books for reading or downloading. I was lucky to come across it in college but was stupid enough to not read stuff from it for a long time. Recently, I went through the autobiography of Benjamin Franklin. Here are a few quotes from the book. Promises in this world and beyond. Charles] Osborne went to the West Indies, where he became an eminent lawyer and made money, but died y...

More not than often. Monday, April 18, 2016. Someone I know had to be taken to the hospital for a surgery. Nothing major. Just a routine daycare thing. On arrival, our guy was admitted and we were told the surgery would begin at 11:00 am. Somehow, 11:00 am came and went. Then, noon and 1:00 PM passed. We got a bit angry, but only enough to feel like idiots later. This raised a question. How to deal with emergencies? Hospitals have emergency rooms. ICRs, IICRs, what have you. Monday, April 18, 2016. Hope ...

More not than often. Monday, January 26, 2015. With being an adult comes maturity and responsibility. Or so the world would have us believe. Whatever. This maturity, responsibility, etc. means we cannot enjoy life as much as we used to as children. I have noticed that always learning something new keeps my mind fresh. At least at a state-of-mind level. Seeing others do things better than myself keeps me grounded. These include music by Rob-C. Comics by Rahul,. And insightful stories by Kanthu. Reaching h...
