The Deep Work Experience

Image
It was the summer of 2017 and my days were packed with multiple things. Co-organizing a Summer Camp for kids with my friends was one of the major work those days. There were regular meetings in the evenings and I would often work for the Summer Camp preparation in between office hours too. There was always a challenge to shift between multiple works and sometimes perform multiple tasks simultaneously. In simple terms – “Life was messed up”.

For some of my acquaintances, I am a Teacher; for some, I am an Origami Artist; for some, I am an Activist; some know me as a Writer; and a few recognize me as an Amateur Astronomer. There are some awkward moments when people call me an Engineer, just because of my higher education in Engineering.

I am a  Multipotentialite ! Through this blog, I will be sharing my thoughts about issues and ideas that I come across. You will find content relating to different subjects here and not on one theme or topic. In fact, this blog is just like me, a Multipotentialite. Keep Read
