“Why did you wait until you were 53 to do this?”
For our anniversary this year, my wife and I went on a cruise through the Caribbean. If you’ve ever thought about going on a cruise, do it. I highly recommend it. The size of the ship and the beauty surrounding you while sailing is stunning and worth every penny.

When Your Friends Die Unexpectedly
When I was in high school, I was a part of a group called Campus Life. We met every Monday night, played games, hung out, and had meaningful discussions with each other.

If You Had To…You’d Find A Way To: Where Creative Breakthrough Often Comes From
A few nights ago I sat down after dinner with my journal and asked myself: If I HAD to write something today, what would I write about? At first, I just sat there on the couch with my thoughts. But as I began to think through the day and the week so far, I was reminded of stories and lessons I had learned through different experiences I had. And just like that, in about … [Read more...]
Before You’re Good At Something, You’re Usually Pretty Bad At It
When I was eight years old, I played soccer. https://instagram.com/p/5w5FjflkZm/ When I first started playing soccer, I used to get extremely nervous, hesitant, and unsure of myself before a game started. There was even a time when my mom had to literally drag me into the car and force me to get to my game, because I was being stubborn and refused to go. (Indian mothers … [Read more...]
