My Journey of Learning Spanish (in India): Resources, Lessons, Insights, and the 80/20 Rule
Reading Time: 4 minutesIn the last post, we talked about why learning a new language is so important. If you haven’t checked it, check it here. And I wouldn’t tell you to do it if I hadn’t done it myself. So, here I am sharing some of my personal insights, notes, and resources from my own journey of learning Spanish — right here in India. The Levels of Spanish (and What You Really Need) Spanish is divided into six proficiency levels according to the Instituto Cervantes (the official Spanish language institution): A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2. Now, here’s something most people don’t tell you — for general communication,…

Here is a cheat code for life.
Reading Time: 9 minutesHey, have you ever watched an English movie in your own language (dubbed)? I bet you have! And if you’ve then watched the same movie again in English & you know how it feels—it’s like a whole new experience. It’s not just about the words; something deeper changes, like the tone, the rhythm, and even the emotion behind each line. The translation can’t capture the soul of the original. I guess you have watched lots of videos on YouTube or read articles like this, where people speak multiple languages, & speak about the importance of having it. But it was the people who already have a high…

Human Behaviour Lesson from reading Dostoevsky (Part 10)
Reading Time: 7 minutesThis is the last post of this series- Today, I’m going to tell you how Dostoevsky overcame his worst habit and how he became the legend we know today. As I’ve mentioned before, Dostoevsky was a compulsive gambler. He lost most of his money at gambling tables. He tried various methods and tactics to quit—but nothing worked. All his efforts failed. After his first wife Maria, died, he tried to form a relationship with Polina, but she didn’t truly love him. Later, he married Anna, a woman much younger than him. At the time, Dostoevsky was drowning in debt due to his gambling addiction. His publishers were…

Human Behaviour Lesson from reading Dostoevsky (Part 9)
Reading Time: 6 minutesThis is the 9th part of this series. Cool, isn’t it? When people talk about quality over quantity, I always remember Dostoevsky. He didn’t write many books, but what he did write changed the world. Dostoevsky’s writing delves deep into the human psyche—particularly the inner world of men. However, he somewhat lagged behind in understanding female psychology. Gabriel García Márquez, in my opinion, excelled in that area. Did you know that Dostoevsky had planned to write a second part to The Brothers Karamazov? In the first part, there are three brothers: Ivan, Alyosha, and Dmitri, along with an illegitimate fourth, Smerdyakov (the name may vary depending on…
