Don’t know why this is so hard — @BangaloreRoomi @fmrbangalore I’m looking for a room in an already set up 2/3/4 BHK in Bangalore. Can move in by August first week. Any area in South or East Bangalore works (preferably close to a metro station).

4 of 5 stars to Dr. Bernstein’s Diabetes Solution. I learnt more about type-1 diabetes from this book than everything I have read and heard in the last 15 years as a type-1 diabetic; the book gives you hope 🌸 Thanks for the recommendation @NupurLalvani 🤗

If you’re sitting with someone at the lunch table, I feel scrolling on Instagram is the rudest thing you can do to the other person. If you don’t feel like talking to anyone, sit quietly and eat - it’s a better option than trying to “socialise” on Instagram (or any other app)

I wanted to grind @BlueTokaiCoffee beans in a cafe in Eindhoven, the barista saw it and was so overwhelmed because she was in India for a year and it was her favourite coffee. We chatted about it and I gave her some of my beans. Coffee doing its thing as always. ❤️☕️

Surprised at the audacity with which people proclaim that returning to India to work as a biotech scientist qualifies as “cheap labour”! It’s crazy how many people go through life hating their job, doing it just for💰and putting down people who look for meaning in their work.

When you are stuck in a negative loop of thoughts, it is very important to break the pattern. However, if the same happens with a constructive thought, it leads to creation of something wonderful. Wisdom is to know when to break the pattern and when to dive into it.
