Lockdown Shenanigans

Hope the few bloggers hanging around are doing well! :P

I have been doing ok, picking up new hobbies during the lockdown. For instance, I now like running. Who would have thunk I, of all people, would spend an entire Sunday researching the gazillion types of Nike shoes to pick the best one to buy as a reward for doing my first 5k. I did that, yes.

I also used my time to make myself a swanky new website! 

(Blogger, I still love you, but I needed to do this for the professional stuff. For all my rants, I will still come to you. You know that, don't you?)

So yeah, I have a new website - www.theonionbrain.com where I talk about all things behavioural science. If you are interested in behavioural science, psychology, product design or marketing, please do subscribe there!


More than anything, I enjoyed the process of creating it from scratch. I should do more such stuff!

Anyway, hope you are all doing well and it's totally ok if you are being unproductive, because God knows we live in stressful times and there's absolutely no need to prove anything to anybody. 

If you have been productive, think of yourselves as the lucky ones! :)

Cheers and stay safe,
Preeks

    Heyyyy, congratulations on the new website. And the podcast. Way to go!
    I also started a podcast recently. I think podcast is the new blogging? Haha.
    But it is so bloody hard. I have only one episode so far ~hides face~
    By the way, the hyperlink to your website address on this post doesn't take you to the website, I typed the address then went to the website.
    Damn cool ya! I am going to binge-read all those articles.
    And if you are curious about my podcast, you can check me out on instagram as Advertising Not a Funny Business and on podcast platforms like spotify, apple etc. It is hosted on Anchor.fm.
    Do you also have an IG page? I will check.
    We could collaborate also one day, some day. Haha. My thoughts are going overboard.
    Ok going to your website now.
    All the very best for everything.

Them 90s Things - 1 - iTV Music Channel

By
Starting a random series of all things from a 90s childhood, just so I have a record of these memories for posterity. Do you remember a channel called iTV?  The 1999 Cricket World Cup was when our extremely middle-class, government quarters colony rose to the challenge of cable tv. Till then, we were happily adjusting our antennas and watching wholesome family entertainment on the two channels of DD1 and DD2. Then came the cable wale bhaiya, with his fancy earring, a few TV guides stacked under his arms along with long ropes of cable, promising unlimited entertainment for the entire colony. And just like that, we all got lured. Cable TV bought with it a lot of changes, many of which I assume will get covered in this series. But, today's post is about 1 particular memory which every 90s kid can relate to. A huge letter I revolving on the TV in anticipation of a new song being chosen. Yep. The iTV generation. Not MTv. It was all about iTV. I still don't know what that channel was

Drumrolls and All That

By
In crass Hindi, this moment would have been aptly defined as "Laut ke buddhu, ghar ko aaye".  Exact translation would mount to "Fools return home" and that's what this post is. So, after taking a break from work, doing a second Masters, getting a job in Singapore and moving countries, I am back on the blog.  Who would have thunk? An year back, I had no idea this is what I would be doing in an year. But then again, do we know what we will be doing an year from now?  Lesson learnt. No planning, no guessing.  Just keep exploring, keep doing new things, keep learning, keep meeting new people. Things will happen. Trust. Like a fool (who returned home!) So, while I discover this part of my life, Singapore, I thought I need the blog more than the blog needs me. Because moving countries is not in the least as glamorous as it sounds.  There's the whole deal with selling all belongings which you have hoarded lovingly over the years. A
