Kal tak apni naakami ka maatam manaye za rahe the.Aaz hamara zanaza ja raha hai.Apne na-umeede me hum simte rahe zindgi bhar.Kisi se kuch paya nai, bas lalak se reh gaye the dil me. Sab tha uper wale ka diya hua hamare paas, bus ek jine ka zariya nai tha. Koi maksad aisa tha he …

entrepreneurship
I see people preaching about becoming an entrepreneur and breaking into entrepreneurship. I have my aversion to these sales pitches or evangelism. Entrepreneurship is not clearing an engineering entrance or a medical entrance exam where you read a syllabus and jump in to qualify. Entrepreneurship is not a 9 to 5 job with a steady …
rant
How much can we progress in life if we rant non-stop?How much time will be left to love ourselves if we criticize the world?Our progress depends on how we see the world, not what the world has to offer us. We can waste our time criticizing others or seizing the moment.It is easy to complain …
own
How much do we have to keep ourselves in hiding? Why can we not own our flaws and walk boldly for the rest of our life? Nothing stopped Helen Keller from writing. She knew she had to live with it throughout her life. Our life on this planet is limited, and not all of us …

The fear, hate, and lovelessness of ourselves make us lose even before we start anything. Why are we like this? Is it generational? Is it because of our fight-flight response or our …
agent of change
Some people walk into our life, make us better and stay with us for eternity or disappear. After my class 10th, my mother sent me out of Bihar for higher studies. I believe this was one of the milestones in my life. Later on, during engineering, participating in FOSS and open source technology and meeting …
trust
A lot of my friends tell me I trust people easily. As a result, I suffer. I don’t know about the suffering part. One thing is sure: radical trust has been a mixed bag for me. I have made lifelong friends, lost money, and suffered emotionally. All of it has happened. But when I see …
