The Good News Given the initial number of applicants to the Restaurant Revitalization Fund during its first two days, with businesses seeking nearly $70B, it wasn’t a matter of if, but rather, how senators and house representations would pursue additional funding.

We are sure that you have read multiple different perspectives and analysis on how Covid-19 has completely changed our lives. While the Covid narrative has many facets to it, we are sure you might not have seen the following scenario playing out - a rise in demand for second hand cars in India.

The Indian tech industry has been a champion of yesterday with a lot of potential for tomorrow. Structural tailwinds combined with high quality of services rendered by Indian tech giants have helped create a robust tech industry. Nifty IT index has generated over 90% in returns in the last year while Nifty has delivered returns of about 43% in the same …

Often when growth outlook tapers or inflation becomes a big concern, investors turn to FMCG stocks. As a matter of fact, even when the market is witnessing a bull run FMCG stocks are a key aspect of an investor’s portfolio. That’s why it can be said that FMCG stocks are “evergreen stocks”.

Gilmore Girls Corner Which season is the best season to watch Gilmore Girls? We know what you’re thinking. Fall, of course. The series literally screams autumn. Well, not for everyone. With summer upon us, I decided to go digging for some summer-related Gilmore trivia. According to an article that Nicole Pomarico wrote for

Gilmore Girls Corner This week’s episode is for all the people that can’t take criticism very well, for the people who cry at work, for the people who’ve always tried their best… You get the picture. Three years ago, Jenny Singer wrote an article in

While we haven’t posted in a while, rest assured that we have been thinking and processing quite a bit of information on our favorite subject, the definition of investing, and its legal implications. Against this backdrop came the Congressional Hearing,

This weekend, we were busy. I felt like we didn't stop moving. On Saturday, we went to see a show at the Pasadena Playhouse with Amy Brenneman, then we decided, "Hey, let's go to a Jonas Brothers concert." Dodger Stadium was so hot that Tim and I didn't get up once during the concert's first half. I kept thinking people we…

When I started my healing journey in earnest at the beginning of 2020, I found that lots of experts, gurus, and apps, yet none of them worked for me. Three years later, I finally understand why. Most of the content I found on the Internet was created in a bubble. The solutions were apps, guided meditation, yoga, biometrics, etc. They were tailored for a s…

Ring, ring… I am 80. I started 2023 by commissioning Froggy Cyborg to create a piece of art for me. I had concepts in my head, and in partnership with his brilliance, we came up with the masterpiece below. 80 is balance. My entire life, I’ve always been drawn toward yin/yang. Life is a struggle between the two polarities that push and pull us. The Lion repr…

It’s been a hot minute. Life has been busy. I’ve been working on some home projects, traveling with Ms. Chubbicorn, and trying to raise these little kids. It’s been well over a month since my psychodrama therapy session. What I’ve uncovered for myself is communal therapy is a better path than the typical 1:1 method. Of course, there’s a time and place fo…

I’ve been sitting with my shadows for the past couple weeks, and it’s been the hardest part of this journey. Up until now, my protectors jump in to shut things down when it gets uncomfortable. Feeling a tingle? No, it’s gone. Little voice trying to say something? Nope, nothing here to see.

This week’s recipe is inspired by my recent adventures with a beloved vegetable— okra. I grew up eating it primarily in soups like “Nkruma nkwan”, with braised goat, or instead with fried white fish. It was recently at Birds of a Feather in Brooklyn that I ate okra prepared in a different way than what I was familiar with. The lightly steamed okra was w…

Welcome to my food newsletter!!! Thank you for expressing interest and excitement in my cooking, and this project. I am excited to share my recipes, experiments, musings, etc. with you all this summer and beyond. Before we get to this week’s recipe I want to share a bit more about the current plan I have for karealeats.

It’s hard to believe that only a week and a half has gone by since we first set out! Or that we’re 1/3 done with the trip. The former figure seems small; the latter large. It’s simultaneously as if we’ve been traveling forever… but have only just begun. Strange.

Yesterday, after a morning of work, we visited our first Smithsonian: the Air & Space Museum! There’s an impressive collection there of, well, air and space things… moon landers, space stations, ICBMs, airplanes, a Wright Flyer replica, a Hubble replica, and so on and on and on. (So much… and yet most sections were closed for renovations!)

Yesterday, I visited my 50th state! It’s official, that’s all of them now. I hit that milestone as we crossed the border into Louisiana; Alabama and Mississippi were also firsts for today (and NC, SC, and ND this trip). It wasn’t just me to accomplish that today, though! My mother flew into DC three d…

This blog, Creative Genius and the Egoist Anarchist Personality, is my attempt to synthesize the ideas expressed by Dr. Bruce G. Charlton in his blog, Intelligence, Personality and Genius, with the ideas expressed in the book Enemies of Society: An Anthology of Individualist and Egoist Thought.

It’s Monday and Rosa (one of my roommates) and I are dicing yellow onions and mincing garlic. She takes a sip of her hazy IPA as I crack open a sour ale. We say cheers to surviving Monday and I start chopping dino kale as she drains and rinses the chickpeas. Everything is in its place before we turn on the stove.

under the influence This post began on some Sunday, inspired by a Vuori ad I saw on Instagram that came the morning after someone mentioned the brand to me during a fleeting party conversation. The suspiciously timed ad led to “Shop now” where I proceeded to scroll through pages of women’s athleisure, deciding whether or not the brand’s aesthetic was one…

I’ve been wondering why we listen to music. When in my own room, I listen to music to find new artists and songs, and find things to share on this newsletter, or create a certain mood, or because I’m feeling a certain way, or as a form of escapism, or sometimes, just because it’s more fun than folding laundry in silence.
