Social Media and Empathy I am not a researcher but just a social observer so whatever I will write in subsequent paragraphs below are just my own plain observations. I have been thinking about this a lot. Full disclosure – I deleted my Facebook (FB) account more than a year ago after the Cambridge Analytica…Continue reading Life In the Time of Corona aka Covid19: Days 137-182

Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Days 82-95
June 21, 2020 – Summer Solstice It’s been 95 days since CoVid19 forced most of us in the Bay Area to stay home. Yesterday marked Summer Solstice, the start of summer and the longest day of the year for 2020 and today, June 21 is Father’s Day. CoVid19 is forcing us humans to mark these…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Days 82-95
Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 62-68
May 25, 2020 – Memorial Day Weekend It’s been an intense work week for me and I promised myself that I will detach from work over the long weekend and I’ve been true to my promise. I also promised myself that I will try to practice the ‘art of doing nothing’ as a treat for…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 62-68
Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Days 43-44
April 28-29, 2020 I have been feeling frustrated for a few days now. Not because of CoVid19 but primarily because of things happening at work. Change can be difficult for a lot of people especially if these people have been doing the same thing for a long time. I should know but really I don’t…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Days 43-44
Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Days 38-42
April 23-27, 2020 My days have melded together. Sometimes I don’t even know what day it is. What’s the point of keeping track anyway? I’m not going anywhere. I’ll never be late for anything since I’m just in the same location every single day! For some reason, I wasn’t very good at planning my days…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Days 38-42
Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Days 32 & 33
April 17, 2020 I thought my Friday will be a slow day after my weekly check-in with my boss at 8:30 am. Was I sooo wrong! One call after the other, one follow up after another. Some crisis management and lesson in negotiating skills in a couple of conference calls. I didn’t get to have…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Days 32 & 33
Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 29 & 30
April 13, 2020 Monday blues. It started slow for me, feeling beat after all the weekend physical activities. Can’t believe I made 10,000+ steps yesterday! Walked up and down our neighborhood circle and then back to the house for some yard work. It is possible to have some accomplishments while sheltered-in-place! Somehow, I’m beginning to…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 29 & 30
Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 23
The sun was out today! Yahoo – something to be thankful for despite the onslaught of more bad news – 700+ deaths in New York, now on the cusp of overtaking the total CoVid19 cases of Italy, the stock market becoming unstable again and the US recording the highest deaths in a single day. US…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 23
Life In Then Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 22
I woke up early today to get ready for my work week. Did my usual morning routine – meditate, stretch, 6-minute HIIT session and then coffee and a light breakfast. My day began with a conference call at 8:00 am followed by two more. It would have been 3 if the other one slated before…Continue reading Life In Then Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 22
Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 21
Holy smokes! Three weeks already since I started blogging about this pandemic. Most of the world is standing still but at the same token time is flying by, not waiting even for a single second. The same is true I guess for those in the front lines at the moment. Researchers and scientists around the…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 21
