What an “amazing” week ! Rejections all around. And if I still have strength to come and blog about it, I think I have build enough strength by now to shake off the dust and start again. What an absolute privilege to be in such position. So when people reject you as you are not who they want, the jobs you apply for think you are not good enough, the...
So it happened today And not just one thing but 2 !! So I finally got to experience that amazing feeling that you get when you have picked up a skill. So this afternoon when I went to swim, I felt that I am comfortable swimming freestyle. And in the evening when I was practicing writing with my left hand, I felt that I have more control now and I am able to write...
We begin with Naina’s premise, “no matter how much you try, there will always be something you will miss in life”. So does the key lie in the things you miss ? We know we don’t always get to choose what we miss. The next thing Naina says is “so let’s enjoy the moment right now”. I feel this only works when the choice is...

I do not claim that I have...
So how else do you tell if someone doesn’t really like you? Check your text chats with them and observe two things. If you type long sentences and they respond in not more than 5 words, they are probably not that interested. The other thing that can make it clearer, try asking them 2 or 3 linked questions in a text. Like for example, “Hey Good Morning. So...
I saw the first season of a really cool show today. Parlement. It is about the EU and almost all the characters are multilingual. Eamon and Ingeborg were so cool. I believe this is how the shows would be in the near future.
Learning a language is so much easier these days. When you move towards the stage where you are practicing to write longer sentences, a grammar checker is a tool sent from heaven ! For English there is Grammarly and for French there is Scribens. I am using Scribens and I am trying very hard to make her use Grammarly. Apprendre une langue est tellement plus facile de...
