There are many talented folks in our country. When we say India’s talent is limited what it means is we don’t have a ready-to-consume workforce. We can drum beat over this limitation or upskill the ones around us. With corruption in the blood of governance across the world and taxpayers’ money going to war or …

victim
Some people are victims of their own stupidity. Nobody can help them: it’s a vicious circle where they get lost. They craft narratives, stories, and actors in their minds. While you will feel pity for them, you cannot do anything. They will not listen to you or seek anyone else’s advice. If you are raising …
Complain
Look around, and you will witness people complaining. It can be family, work, world, politics, corruption, and the never-ending list. Now think again: what is any of them getting from their complaints? Maybe a conversation starter and free heartbeat increase. This world runs because of a few who took charge of it, who rose to …
water
We are water. The body is essentially it. Unfortunately, our brain is like air, wandering without any control.

If from the start, you are told what you cannot …
Cons
Every con artist comes with an expiry date. In the initial days, people love them for their magnificent talking skills and fresh perspective on every subject. This adds to their confidence, so they continue doing their puppetry until people start getting bored. The media loves these con artists because of their TRP and bytes. We …
importance
As a founder building a company, one of the most important things I have learned is “what I don’t want.” We spent thousands of hours meeting individuals who were never our customers. It was more for persona mapping. There are times when you will feel like giving up. There are days when you would feel …
Show
You can show the world all your accomplishments and win all the likes and appraisals from unknowns on social media. If you live for fake glory like these, you have made it. Congratulations.
peace
Our inner peace requires more solitude, less chattiness or externalities. We can have all the wealth of the world, and still, we will be broken from the inside. We can be the best actor or scientist winning numerous awards, but still feel lost. All of this is because we are not satisfied or at peace …
