I might sound controversial with this post but I felt like sharing it. Our Indian society still keeps us under constant watch and the views of our family members. It has more negatives than positives. We end up becoming a check list or TODO list of our parents. I have seen friends ending up becoming …

waste
How much time do we waste analysing what is not working right? How many hours go about cribbing things around? How many times do we get angry over past occurrences? How many times do we have to grumble over how things should or could have been in life? Our life has limited time. We could …
journey
We fail to understand the importance of a journey. We all run after results. We become blind, we don’t enjoy the moment. Nothing was built on the flip of a second. Everything takes time. We are a society of fast fashion, quick commerce and casual hookups. As a result, norms have become all now. We …
failure
How many inventions would have ceased if innovators were scared of failure? From light bulbs to AC current to airplanes. We have history to say it all. The same goes for entrepreneurship. The risk appetite and going against all odds defines success. The path is filled with failures, rejection and pain. But that is the …

Acceptance
We are comfortable in our memories as long as it is satisfying. As a result, we forget the reality that is this present. Many go mad because they never left the past. As a result reality made them crazy. The acceptance is not not easy. Our life is limited. We have to let go our …
Divide
The world is more divided than in the past. A few are making the most of it by becoming wealthy and powerful. The wounds of these divides are still lingering around. Mass killings for power or religion have become a common occurrence.
Checklist
Living a life on a checklist gives a robotic living vibe. Seeing deep down, we realize it has a positive. You can offload repeat activities to it and save the brain from triggering it. Benjamin Franklin was a master at it. He had a checklist with vice and virtues. He would follow it religiously and …
Grind
Running a startup requires a different mental framework. You have limited resources to make the best out of it. One of the most important virtues that goes a long way is the founder’s belief in the journey. Media glamourizes entrepreneurship without mentioning the grind and time it takes to become successful. In this painful journey, …
