Well, I started at the screen for 10 minutes and couldn’t think of anything until I did.

I have nothing to share so I thought why not play a game?

I will randomly think of some questions and ask you here. You can either reply to this email or share it with your friends and play with them (trust me this exercise builds bonds.)

PS: Share the link to your friends, not screenshot 💀

Let’s see if I can frame some good questions:

1. What is one repeatable activity you can do that makes you happy? Only rule is you can’t post about it on social media.

2. What is one new thing you want to try in 2024 which is completely uncharacteristic of you?

3. What do you think was better in your parents’ generation than yours?

4. What are your red flags? (from Tushar’s tweet)

5. What are the five coolest professions in your opinion? Can you make any one of them a hobby?

6. Can you cook your favourite food?

7. One phone/social media/tech feature that was not needed?

8. Why should I be friends with you?

9. Tell me three things you absolutely don’t want in your romantic partner

10. What do you think people won’t appreciate enough?

Today

• Mostly like an off-work day. It’s Christmas and no one is really working so I am not in the mood either. Also, I am not blaming the weather for a joke now—I actually feel the cold is making it hard for me to work

• This day, last year I started watching Naruto and I am still tripping over the anime. This will forever stay with me. I wrote a piece on why I loved Naruto if you wanna check out

• Watched a couple of podcasts

• Worked on the project I am coming up with in January

• Shared invoices with my clients and updated them about a few of my priorities moving forward

• Made an outline for the 2023 review. All I can say is a wholesome post is on your way on Cognition. Subscribe to have it delivered to your email

• Met Rohit, one of the close friends I have made from my cricket days for dinner (eeeee biryaniiiiii)

• Then I met Sreekar for an hour
