Music
It is backed by science that music has a therapeutic effect on us. That is the reason in the past our princely states had music maestros. From Baiju Bawra to Tansen, the list is uncountable. Even Vedas had a separate book dedicated to music Samaveda. In Hindustani classical music, we have many ragas which fit …
Exams
Winter sun, bone-chilling wind and a glass of Masala Chai. Sometimes waking up early in the morning. These are few things reminds me of my class 10th board exams. There were no smartphones or the internet to distract us. I remember papa had packed the television as well, a different kind of sacrifice from his …

Reading fiction written by a few authors is delightful. Reading Khushwant Singh after some time and the way he describes places in his story makes me feel am in there.

Imagine a world which had no bombs, no fighting. Imagine a world with Love triumphing over rest. Imagine a world in which human kinds …
Social
These are my opinions and I can be wrong. I am not much of a social guy now. The more I am out, the more I am bombed with ideas, advice, feedback. While it is important to get advice, it is important to get it from the right people. The ones who have skin in …
Some lessons I have learned in my life
I was in the zone of self-evaluation and exploring myself on Friday. As a result, I shared dozen-odd tweets. I am sharing the same here. Team, trust, and transparency. << what we need to build something incredible. We screw up more because of not being honest with ourselves. Competition, timing, luck comes later. The “ism” …
