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. It is like visiting the world with him. I felt the same reading Oscar Wilde, Charles Dickens, and Satyajit Ray. It is like going back …

Right answers
There have been times in my life when getting right answers were difficult. These situations were critical and sometimes made me vulnerable. Age has taught me that life is more about living in the moment and making the best of it. Life is not about adding bits and pieces filled with our opinions. Do we …
Small
Many revolutions, movements, and innovations started small. What made is all successful was grit, perseverance, and luck. Modern-day entrepreneurship suggests the contrary. It trumps over a bigger market and continuous pivoting. In some cases, it has resulted in fantastic results while others failed miserably. Neither I am someone successful or a thought leader. All I …
Seriously
Why do we have to get offended what some invisible faced called us on Twitter? Why do we have to go into depression because of random feedback? We take so many things for granted, most importantly the feedbacks. We make ourselves vulnerable and perform even worse. We have a small life if someone does not …

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” …
Garbage
The amount of data thrown at is enormous. Thanks to cheap internet and publishing platform. We are all artists, creators, authors, and painters. The sad part of it is, many quality creators lose to garbage. I call poor contents, be it a book, blog or music as garbage. Some people put the soul in creation …
Entrepreneurs dilemma
Building a product and selling it are two different things. In a price-conscious country like ours, the buying decision comes down to the price. In such a situation it becomes a dilemma to build something for the niche or mass market. “Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which …
appreciate
How difficult it is for us to appreciate others. I have been continuously seeing this approach in us where we like complaining more than complimenting. We go to the extent of creating new social media profiles to blame a company or product. I am also part of the same league. But over a time I …
