Welcome to Observations
My name is Jason Shah. I live and work in San Francisco.
This is my personal blog and newsletter. I find life and the world around us full of adventures and lessons, and I write about them here. It could be a family passing by my windows that makes me think about the purpose of life or it could be a transformational passage from a Bertrand Russell book that sparks an essay.
