The Paralysis of Choice

A desk overflowing with choices — the perfect metaphor for a modern mind. I’ve always wondered why stepping outside my comfort zone feels harder than it should. With so many ways to spend time, I keep circling the same question: am I choosing what matters, or am I just numbing myself with options? Choice overload might be the defining anxiety of our era. One moment I’m browsing an AI course on Coursera, convincing myself I’ll finally finish it. The next, I’m tempted to restart my Sanskrit lessons. And somewhere in that mental whirlpool, a random LLM video on YouTube quietly steals an hour I never intended to give away. It isn’t learning — it’s drifting. I think back to my first iPhone 4.

The Sands of Time

The sands of time cannot be wasted away
By the wait for things to sway your way
If things have to improve tomorrow
Find your way today!

Which you may not find anymore in use
If waiting is all you want to do
Wants remain no more than wants

The ravages of time leave you disturbed
To realise the essence of time unspent
Its all a game at the end of the day
Without having taken part in the play

Frail exterior you may sport
The inner resolve will drive you forth
Work as hard as your dreams
Then they are no more in your realms

Success is not as tough
Though the path to it is as rough
Light at the end of the tunnel
Glows as a result of the struggle

Time is no more a healer
For you have got the feeler
The struggle had left you busy
But life is now just as easy
