You are responsible for your well-being. All your actions and virtues make you. We can blame the world, government, financial conditions, and whatnot for failures. But deep inside: accept it is all you. You have to be honest with yourself. The sooner you will realize, the better our progress.

Position
Most successful operators in various managerial businesses and roles where they influence changing lives of many are careful about one thing. They know it is not their job position but the relationship they build with people around them. While building Taghash, I have been on both sides. Be it connecting founders to potential VCs or …
Passion
We are living in an era of unlimited passion. Our society teaches us to be passionate about work, life, and whatnot. There are authors, YouTubers, and short course content creators living their life by guiding you to define your passion. In short, we are living in passion porn. Our life is not a race where …

I find it sad and disheartening to see founders of modern-day startups bragging about themselves and their brands non-stop on social media.

Community

I got lucky that the 2006-07 Linux user group took me under their wings. I don’t know where I would have ended up now.I made friends and mentors like Karunakar, Vivek, …
