I, Spectra: Gabira sits by the window
http://avecadresse.blogspot.com/2012/12/gabira-sits-by-window.html
Monday, December 31, 2012. Gabira sits by the window. A fiction piece that really has no meaning or purpose. Don't read too much into it. Gabira is sitting by her window and writing this piece. Well I nearly set the tortilla on fire the other day. There was black smoke bellowing yet no alarm. Can you believe that? Every sentence is short. I love that. December 31, 2012 at 10:50 PM. December 31, 2012 at 10:51 PM. The short sentences are by design. They are meant to convey the emotions of the writer. I wan...

I, Spectra: Chennai WTFeries
http://avecadresse.blogspot.com/2013/05/chennai-wtferies.html
Thursday, May 16, 2013. Hardly had I gone a mile and I felt sapped. I was sweating bullets and my core was overheating rapidly. I soon realized that running in Chennai is way harder than the milder weather in Pittsburgh. I looked like I had jumped into a swimming pool. I was engaged in conversation with self and I told myself that this was training and it would make me stronger. Did it not cross his mind that between the two of us that he might not need the water as badly as I did? I could use a smoke.

I, Spectra: Leaders vs Managers
http://avecadresse.blogspot.com/2014/05/leaders-vs-managers.html
Wednesday, May 7, 2014. Nobody wants to be a manager ; everyone wants to be a leader. So let's compare the two. A leader is a visionary with grand goals in mind ; the manager meets deadlines. The leader has scores of people worshiping him ; everyone despises their overbearing manager. The leader inspires ; the manager dictates. The leader takes bold risks ; the manager maintains status quo. And so on. So why is the manager an ass? That's why I loved the movie Lincoln. A compass, I learned when I was surv...

I, Spectra: Mind-Body separation for dummies
http://avecadresse.blogspot.com/2011/11/mind-body-separation-for-dummies.html
Tuesday, November 22, 2011. Mind-Body separation for dummies. In this tutorial we will cover -. 1 Why mind-body separation? 2 How mind-body separation? 3 How to enjoy mind-body separation state? Your mind is a wondrous thing. It is the seat of consciousness. It is so abstract and so completely integrated with our concept of self that we take it for granted. Wouldn't it be a wonderful experience to step back and perceive your mind as a separate entity? One that is disjoint from your body? Subscribe to: Po...

I, Spectra: Are you a man or a mouse ?
http://avecadresse.blogspot.com/2013/08/run-some-hills.html
Saturday, August 10, 2013. Are you a man or a mouse? When you are huffing and puffing. Chugging to the hilltop. The salty sweat on your brow. Creeping into your eyes. It burns and scathes. But you scarcely notice. When your vision narrows. Fixing its gaze to the top. When breathing seems like. When all you want is. Of great men and their. Revealing the greatness within you. To be a man, not a mouse. True And so nicely put! August 22, 2013 at 6:24 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Sweat on my Face.

I, Spectra: Rich beyond $$$ - Part I
http://avecadresse.blogspot.com/2014/06/rich-beyond-part-i.html
Saturday, June 28, 2014. Rich beyond $ $ - Part I. Everyone tries very hard to be rich ; or at least fantasizes about riches. I too wish to be rich and roll in the green carpet of $ $. Won't it be just fine to have a palatial Victorian era house? A couple of golden retrievers prancing around in the well manicured gardens? How about stepping out from a Bentley in casual yet trendy golf attire. However, I am much too aware of my own fallibility in the face of " Hedonic Adaptation. The cirque de soleil show?

I, Spectra: Moderation
http://avecadresse.blogspot.com/2012/11/moderation_22.html
Thursday, November 22, 2012. I was not able to run. In a previous post. I had mentioned that I had dropped out while running an ultramarathon complaining from hip pain. Days and weeks passed but the pain just would not go away. I was unable to run, bike, swim and even climb up stairs. I googled for the symptoms, obsessed over it and came to the conclusion that it was a hip stress fracture. The hip is not the only thing wrong with me. My left shoulder is really messed up. My knee creaks and I keep...Moder...
