1. Where Deep Work Meets Shallow Time: Why We Keep Arguing With the Wrong Thing

    Most advisors I know carry a private unease. It lives in the gap between what we can see clearly when we are alone with a situation, and what we can actually say once we walk into the room. Outside the meeting, the pattern is obvious. The avoidance is named, the dynamic is mapped, the unspoken is almost speakable. Inside the meeting, the same pattern goes silent.

  9. From Hawker Stalls to Heartfelt Seats: My Ramadan at INSEAD

    There is a question no one tells you to ask before arriving in Singapore. Not "Where will I live?" Not "How will I get around?" But something quieter and more personal: "Will I still be myself here? Will it feel like family?"This Ramadan was my answer. And honestly, I did not see it coming.We had just survived P3 practicals, running on fumes, on group chats, and on the kind of adrenaline that only INSEAD can produce.
