I picked up a used TVS Apache RTR 160 4v Used from Olx,         On my way to Tarkarli Beach, the engine bearing gave up, and the bike seized — right in front of a service center (praise God for that!). My beach plan was gone, and instead, I spent three days in Chiplun, running around and fixing the bike.                                                                  At the time, I thought buying a used bike was smarter — why pour all that money into a new one? The Apache was fun to ride… until one trip changed everything. I was stuck with a tough choice: abandon the bike and continue my journey, or wait it out. In the end, I came back home after spending more than ₹15,000 on repairs. And that’s when I realized — my will to ride this Apache was gone. The TVS Chiplun guys di...

Let’s talk about the grand narrative being pushed these days—work from office (WFO). After the pandemic, companies are making a hard pivot back to the office under the guise of “collaboration,” “productivity,” and other buzzwords that seem to have emerged straight from a corporate jargon generator. But peel back the layers, and the agenda is clear: “We bought property; now we need you to justify it.” The Illusion of Collaboration Companies argue that being in the office magically improves teamwork and efficiency. Yet, the reality is far less enchanting. Ever been called into a meeting room just to hop on a Teams or Google Meet call with someone sitting next door? Why not skip the theatrics and collaborate directly? Turns out, in many cases, proximity adds nothing to actual communication. According to a study by Stanford University, remote workers are 13% more productive than their in-office counterparts due to fewer distractions, quieter working environments, and the absence of exhaust...

Introduction Performance appraisals are a standard part of corporate life, but for many employees, they can be a source of stress and frustration. I've experienced this firsthand, as every year I find myself dreading the performance review process. It often feels like a judgment day where my entire year's work is scrutinized, and I'm left to defend myself with a list of achievements and missed opportunities. The Annual Performance Review: A Stressful Process Each year, when performance appraisal season rolls around, I prepare myself by jotting down everything I did beyond my job description, highlighting extra tasks and responsibilities I took on. I also make a note of the significant misses from the previous year, knowing they'll likely come up in the review. The review itself usually starts with a few positive comments, but it quickly shifts to areas where I didn't meet expectations. This leads me to believe that performance reviews primarily focus on how well I m...

03 December 2021 It was the day after many years of wanting to fix my house's toilets. The last time I had done anything to it was in 2015 and 2016 when I made a wardrobe unit. This time, I decided to document the journey. After almost 4 years of wanting to repair the toilets, I finally found a contractor who was willing to take on the challenge and help me bring my vision to life. The main difference between CPVC and PVC is the range of temperatures each can withstand. CPVC can handle temperatures up to 200°F, while PVC peaks at 140°F. A little background on the building: it was constructed in 2003, and at that time, the builder chose to use concealed galvanized pipes ( GI ). Over the years, these pipes started corroding, so nowadays, no one uses them. Instead, they use Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride ( CPVC ) pipes, which are stronger and don't corrode. This is a wise choice. You might be wondering why not use ( PVC ) pipes, The main difference between CPVC and PVC is the ran...
