Are we all perfect? Even the moon has a dark spot. Lotus grows in the swamp and diamond deep beneath the coal mines. How can we expect humans to be perfect at all things? We are broken, imperfect in one or the other way. I will not go in the deep how Mozart was deaf […]

judge
Every minute, every meeting, we are judging our counterparts. It is a human tendency; we like and dislike people on our experience, observation, and our likings. I get advice from friends and people on how I should talk, dress, and act when on a sales call. The problem for me is, I have never followed […]
purpose
Why are we doing this? Is this something I can end my career? Is this the purpose of my life? Am I all geared up for walking up every morning and working on it? Finding purpose is like finding the meaning, true north, or guiding star in life. We get lost to externals. Our end […]
raising
Running a startup is like a marriage. It is like working with a family: team, customers, and believers. It could get overwhelming at times. There would be an itch, making a better product, winning new customers, and keeping everyone on the same page. It is crazy, fun-filled, and full of uncertainties & excitement. It is […]
limit
Can we do everything? Like they sell you in the bestseller 10000 hours to mastery? Or is it more about how we approach a task? Is it our mindset and, how we see a challenge exciting or painful limits us? Is all our achievements in life, the limits created by our brain? Are we so […]
journey
The more I think about life, it feels like a destination less train journey full of surprise. We are on a ride. It can be good, bad, or ugly. In sum total a mixed bag. That true north, that made in heaven things are not real. It is sold to us by the materialistic marketers. […]
fast
We are living in a fast-paced world. New-age companies like tinder, Amazon, Slack, Uber has it in their DNA. Pace is the mantra for Gig-economy. At the same time, delivery agents and warehouse workers are turning into slaves. Build fast and break things are the new age startup, growth strategy. Hire and fire are the […]
Chauthi Chand
Growing up with parents and grandparents in a Hindu family, celebrating festivals has special meaning. It is not about prayers, bowing to the gods alone. It was also about the grand feast and meeting relatives, cousins. Mother and Grandmom will be on fast. I think not even having water. They would prepare lots of prasad […]
35
Happy birthday to me. I am 35 years old today, can’t thank enough to the creator. It has been a great ride so far: breathing and all body parts are intact. I have a company of great friends, mentors, and believers. What else do I need? Today will be like any another day: run/breath/coffee/calls(team/customer)/reading.
Ruskin Bond
Justbooks folks have started calling me Ruskin Bond fan. I have bought 90% of his books for reading from them. My friend’s joke saying that I am recreating my childhood, in all seriousness, I am catching up with it. While growing up, reading was the last thing for me. We were small-town boys happily playing […]
