Describe one habit that brings you joy.

There’s something deeply satisfying about diving into a productive task that sparks joy in my heart. Whether it’s mastering a new programming language, sizzling up a hearty breakfast in my cozy kitchen, or tending to my lush garden in Kerala, these moments fill me with a quiet sense of accomplishment. Picture me in the early morning light, whispering words of encouragement to my plants, urging them to stretch toward the sun. There’s magic in these small, purposeful acts. Joy, though, is a fleeting guest. Its warmth depends on the weight of our responsibilities, the stresses that tug at our minds.

Count me in. Whether it’s unraveling a tricky Python script or exploring new frameworks, I love geeking out over code that pushes boundaries. Then there’s politics, but I keep it light. I don’t need the drama or the endless debates—just the headlines and a quick summary to stay in the loop. Give me the big picture, not the noise. When it comes to health, I’m all about practical know-how. I don’t care for fads or miracle diets. Show me how to… What are you curious about?

Write about a random act of kindness you’ve done for someone.

It wasn’t a random act of kindness, nor would I call it particularly noble. It was just something I did—a small effort to reach out in a remote corner of the world. This is a story from my past, a memory that lingers like the Himalayan mist. A Young Man in a Quiet Village Decades ago, in my early twenties, I found myself posted in a remote village nestled deep in the Himalayan mountains. I worked for a Central Government organization, where, on paper, I oversaw a vast stretch of the state. In reality, I was just a young man, alone in a world far from home. My office staff consisted of five locals who rarely showed up, leaving me to manage a near-empty office. Every month, I’d make a week-long trek to the state capital to collect salaries in cash—yes, cash, along with supplies. This was a time before… Write about a random act of kindness you’ve done for someone.
