Aise he hai zindgi, jina seekh liziye. Kitne aaye, kitne gaye, riste bane, sapne saze aur zindgi chalti gaye. Sabne kaha aise ziyo, kuch ne kaha waise ziyo, baaki kuch saath rahe hamere. Chal rahe thee saath kuch pal tak aur phir kinare me ho liye juda, zindgi phir bhi chalti rahi. Apne, paraye, zulm, …

co-founders
Running a ship in uncharted territory is challenging. Most of it has surprises, good and bad. It’s the people who keep it sailing. It requires a lot of self-belief, focus, and grit. The complimentary skillset of an individual’s help in tough times. The same goes with running a startup. In the end, it is about …
body
Last few years, I have become more careful about myself, especially my body. I am getting old like everyone else. Once you cross 30’s, it is better to start giving more attention. Food: I figured out that wheat is making me bloated, and coffee post-lunch can screw up my sleep. It took me multiple hit …
equal
Are we all equal? Is it even possible to attain equality in we humans? Our civilization has existed for many years, and the progress has resulted in more division. Then it was rich and poor, now we have added multifold divisions. With the advancement of modernization and a technology-driven world, we are seeking ultra humans. …
population bomb
These are the screens I captured from Lifespan by David A. Sinclair. It makes me wonder what we have done with all the progress in an economic and cultural sense. Are we even going to leave this planet for our next generation at the rate we are creating destruction? The pace at which we are …
no limits
I am halfway reading Mukesh Bansal: No Limits; picked it from Karthik. The book is about Mukesh’s journey and his learning about the well being of us. I found its collection of content from dozen-odd books on various subjects from physical, mental well being. So if you would like to know about us humans, how …
paranoid
The last time I met Mukund, he recommended Andrew Grove: Only the paranoid survive. The kind of opinionated reader I am, I just thought, why do we have to be paranoid in running a business. Last week I picked the book finally. It is a short read. I found 10X lingo in many instances. The …
doubt
We push ourselves to the unexpected. We are trying to solve the unsolvable mysteries of the universe, science, and technology. Is there any room for doubt? Why do we doubt ourselves? Is it because we are less confident, is it because we are scared to fail? Is doubt even an option for researchers, builders, scientists, …
moderation
We are living in a world where moderation is a thing of the past. A runner wants to compete in ironman, an e-commerce site offers one plus two discounts, and Friday brewery trail comes with happy hours. Netflix has binge-watching over ice cream, alcohol, caffeinated drink, and lots of carbs. Overdoing has become a matter …
focus
Is multitasking the need of the hour? Can’t we focus on one thing and give our best in it? Is multitasking a byproduct of modernization and the connected world we are? We are running so fast that we are getting injured more often. The precision with which work was done earlier is getting scarce. Deep …
