Tucked beneath a canopy of Pacific Northwest trees, West Linn Library feels like it was dreamed into being by someone who never forgot what it meant to be a child. As you walk in, natural light streams through expansive glass walls, wrapping the space in calm. The first thing that catches your eye is a
Yesterday, I had a quiet and peaceful Sat., as nothing much bothered my mind or heart. I spent the afternoon gardening—not in a perfect garden, far from it, and not with a perfect raised bed. I rested on my backyard deck, just sat on it with no chair, or cushion. I simply sat—on the wood,
I came to Oxford with one goal: to visit a library. Not just any library—the oldest one, the iconic Bodleian. But when tickets were unavailable, I found myself stepping into Oxford Westgate Library, tucked inside a modern shopping centre. I climbed the stairs with excitement, maybe even expectation. But what greeted me was… ordinary Still
Not much action was taken last week in my options trading — aside from closing out all my put positions. According to my own standard, the returns were solid, and I’m satisfied with the outcome. I did set a few put options that didn’t get filled, but that’s perfectly fine with me. Every strike price

There was the gravity of the past and the energy of youth all around us. We made
Last week, I didn’t take many actions in my NVIDIA option trading. I did two things: on Monday, April 21, when the market was down, I sold a few put options. On Tuesday, even though the market ticked up slightly compared to Monday, I closed out all my NVIDIA call options. Although I didn’t trade
As I continue reading The Book of Life, one thing really struck me when Krishnamurti talked about the distinction between fact and ideas. He said that fear or worry arises when we mistake our own ideas or thoughts for facts. If we can simply understand the facts without adding our own interpretations, we could be
When I stood in front of the massive bronze figure of Newton, something stirred. He was bent over, measuring the universe with a compass — intense, deliberate, absorbed in thought. In that moment, I felt something beyond admiration — a quiet rush of energy, as if I’d brushed against the very spirit of inquiry. I
What a trading day today. It was another down day in the stock market. I didn’t make many trades—just sold few put options on NVIDIA, which are now in a loss position. I’m okay with that, since they won’t expire for another three weeks. Last year, I mostly sold two-week options. But this year, with
