The sweet perfume of diesel fuel hung heavy in the air … so heavy I could almost taste it. The silence of the morning as I stood on the second-floor balcony of a remodeled casa particular — a modern-day Cuban version of a Bed and Breakfast — was broken only by the call of “P...

Your work does add value to your life. But not that much. Especially if you are young, your life is mostly built by what you do after your work hours. We work for 6 to 8 hours everyday. If I exclude the sleep time, we still have 8 hours of FREE time left. That time has insane amount of p...

In the bustling heart of New York City, back in the early 20th century, the sky was a workplace. The Brooklyn Bridge, a marvel of engineering and ambition, stretched across the East River, a symbol of progress. Below, the city teemed with life, but above, a different story unfolded. George, a you...

The Viennese adore the River Danube. Over the centuries, they’ve depended on it for drinking water, food, and the movement of people and goods. It flows, after all, through four more capital cities before it empties into the Black Sea. On New Year’s Eve and at weddings, Austrians dance t...

Despite owning several conventional power generators over many years I didn’t know that Stirling engine electricity generators were built, almost commercially, by Philips. They could not be manufactured cheaply enough to compete with internal combustion models as they face manufacturing challe...

In the world of early-stage entrepreneurs, first-time founders, and startup-obsessed wantrepreneurs, it’s incredibly easy (and common) to get distracted and derailed down a shiny object-filled path under the guise of making “progress”. The problem lies in the fact that we...
