Why I decided to write
An architect by profession with over ten years of experience, people expect me to be creative, full of life, a person who travels a lot, in short, the life of any party. I am not making this up. Architects are expected to be fluent and smooth.
But my truth cannot be farther from it. Super technical, brutally honest, depressed, having social anxiety (not a very good dresser as well), my life is a total roller coaster. Above that, I don’t even like to travel. But as every roller coaster have its ups as well as down, I have my hell yeah! and hell no! moments.
This website is all about these Hell yeah! and Hell no! moments. My highs when I can work for 24 hours straight and still manage to present my work in front of twenty people, and my lows, when I am not even capable of getting out of bed to have a glass of water.
If you too can relate to it, I hope you find solace here. If you can relate it to someone you know, I hope you will guidance by my insights.

Deep Work By Cal Newport – What I got to learn from the Book
Cal Newport introduces the theory of Deep Work in his book. In my words, I will explain it as, being so focused while working, that you reap extra rewards out of it. But Deep work is not as easily done as said. Especially in today’s world, where you have so many distractions at the tip of your fingers.
