With such noise and bustle around us, one cannot help but build a hermitage[1] in one's mind for contemplation and peace.
This digital garden contains some contemplations and musings from my retreats there.
Unsurprisingly, thoughts here are, like every thought, ever-changing.
If you have any questions or opinions, please feel free to contact me at connect@utsob.me or see the Discussion section for other options.
Maturity Levels
The maturity level for each note is represented by plant icons of various growth.
Seedling
Seedlings (
) are thoughts barely started. Maybe Jotted down in haste or simply showed only a brief amount of what I thought about it by far.
Sapling
Saplings (
) have a substantial amount of content, but much work to be done. Coherence and patterns are just emerging in it.
Tree
Trees (
) are grown-up coherent pieces of thought/essay/expression that should not change much except for some editorial enhancements.
Withered
Withered (
) are the notes expressing outdated views (totally or partially) but kept for the historicity of our thoughts. For partially outdated notes, warnings will be placed wherever appropriate.
Stone
Stones (
) are notes exported/extracted from other mediums (e.g. Reading highlights and notes). Growth is irrelevant for these notes.
Signpost
Signposts (
) are notes that allow us to navigate easily (e.g. Collection of books or writings).
Chest
A Chest (
) get changes in its content. However, they don't grow. Chests are how-to's and tools I have made.
Maturity Levels are subjective. It might only mean that I'm a very immature person.

Discussion
Digital gardens are not about marketing/expressing opinion/prophesize etc. It is about nurturing our thoughts publicly and collectively. To discuss with me, there are two ways.
Emails
From any note's page, click the email button on the bottom right to start an email thread. This is private.
Comments
Every note has a comment section powered by Disqus. Feel free to use that if you don't mind public discussions.
Policy
I don't seek publicity. If you find anything praiseworthy (I doubt you will), tell me privately. For commenting, these are the basic rules I believe not too much to abide by:
- Constructive Criticism.
- Adhere to the rules of arguments. To name a few:
- No personal attack (it's a fallacy)
- Other logical fallacies
- Avoid irrelevance.
- Be civil, please.
