Hey guys, how's the new world looking? Still a bit weird, no? I have been working from home for close to a year now. I must say, I am forgetting what office interactions look like without talking to each other through computer screens. I have also forgotten what wearing pants to work is like. I [...]
As I was cleaning up my bookshelf, I saw this book. Only had a few highlighted pages and I thought, “this can’t be right. I must have not finished this one”. So I went back to page 1 and started reading it, again. Because little did I know, I finished this book back in 2015 [...]

That’s all. Felt the need to document this appreciation somewhere. Love, Nadia
Hello guys! It's Nadia here, in case you forgot my name. I know, I know I've been rather quiet these past few months, busy time for us at Pod.

I shared the stage with Crystal Widjaja (yes, to those of you wondering: THE Crystal Widjaja from Gojek). She's the co founder of Generation Girl (the Kpop band is [...]
Eid Mubarak to you all!!! It is a strange time that we’re in right now isn’t it? I had a great laugh looking at all the photos of family imams and their sticks. Wait, that sounded wrong. I meant the batons they hold while giving khutbah. Like these ones: People do get creative huh? 😂 [...]
