Real vs vanity matrix
I am totally jet lagged now. It's 4.30am local time and I am wide awake. So I thought let me take some time to jot my thoughts down. I have been travelling quite intensely the past few weeks for Pod. But I think one thing stood out for me: real vs vanity matrix. Being an [...]
THIS is the most exciting email I have ever received

Probably the most exciting email I’ve ever received

Fashionvest #2 : All Black aka Startup costume
Nothing is sexier than All Black. Yes, both the fashion and the rugby team. See what I did there? *wink* Back then when I had a bit more time to dress, I used to look like this: Crisp, perfectly ironed and well-coordinated outfits. Think Amal Clooney (one can hope). Nowadays, this is my go-to outfit: [...]
