We are lazy; we take shortcuts. We want to accomplish things for their own sake. Every effort is being made to get things done.

Urgency
The last 4 weeks have been supercrazy for me. It feels like I’m back in my college days, hacking around, setting up Linux machines, and playing with various distros. The only thing that has changed now is the emergence of LLM and the mainstream adoption of AI. As a founder of a startup, one of …
faith
One of the virtues that has brought me this far in my personal and professional life is faith. I have met many people and connected with a few. Some of them were the reason I have come this far in life — it was about having faith that their guidance would do good. I have …

vulnerability
How does it feel to visit your past? The one with vulnerability in it. The one with doubt and fear. I was thinking about the early days of my life as am headed for my Delhi trip. I have a special attachment to the city. It has taught me so much. Most of us are …
Dream
If you have a dream, you are the one who has to work on it. If you are lucky, you will find believers, mentors, and guides in achieving it. In short, the onus is on you. If you are looking for outside support, assurance, and inspiration you have lost it. We live in a world …
