      A Weekly Newsletter by Viv & Ami

Both of us, Vivita and Avneet, seem to have anxiety-ridden natures whose base levels start at : “through the damn roof”. Business triggers, guilt-ridden calls from home, a morning routine gone wrong - anything can set off the avalanche of...

We love lists. If Buzzfeed and every copycat listicle media spinoffs’ success is anything to go by - so do you. We love ticking them off, for the dopamine-spark of accomplishment; we love writing them out in a brain-dump to...

In trawling through the interwebs to find interesting links to share with you on this newsletter, we came upon this video; an interview with three English centenarians on what it’s like to live so long, lessons they’ve learned along the way, and regrets...
