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 55-61
May 11-17, 2020 The days are getting longer and the weather warmer here in the Bay Area. It’s been two months since the shelter-in-place order started. My week was very uneventful, spent mostly indoors due to deadlines at work. One call after the other and sometimes, I forget to take a break or have proper…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Days 55-61
Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Days 45-53
May 1-9, 2020 Sorry folks for being quiet for a week. May 1st hit and my work life took most of my time. We had a lot of things going on due to closing of our fiscal year and then some organizational changes. Yep, even while sheltered-in-place, the work wheels are churning and pieces are…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Days 45-53
Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 31
One month to the day today when the health officers of 6 Bay Area counties declared the shelter-in-place order. Four weeks ago. Time flies even if we’re going nowhere. Amazingly and thankfully, things are going well for us. We’re healthy and safe, which matters most these days. Believe it or not, I have not been…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 31
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 15
I woke up with my usual alarm clock, my Princess Tara. This time her meows were more urgent and I knew she was very hungry. True enough, the moment I opened her breakfast, she was lapping it like there’s no tomorrow. Poor girl. I hope she doesn’t become a glutton. My work morning started slower.…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 15
Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 9
My phone alarm didn’t go off this morning! I thought I set it up last night but apparently didn’t or it went off and I pressed the stop button instead of snooze. I must be physically tired. I forgot to mention that while working from home, I also try to do some house work aside…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 9
Life In the Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 5
March 20, 2020 Last night one of my friends who’s on lockdown with her family somewhere in Southeast Asia had a mommy meltdown. Suddenly, without the usual household help – labor is cheap and readily available in certain parts of the world – she finds herself balancing work, life, homeschooling two young kids – while…Continue reading Life In the Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 5
