alcohol
I remember getting introduced to alcohol in my early 20s. It was beer.My love for beer grew to the extreme, and at one point, I was in Brussels hopping microbreweries and learning the art and craft of beer making.I wanted to start my beer shop. We had less than half a dozen microbreweries across the …
Happiness
Happiness is new corporate trash positioned like a carrot to employees by human resources. Giving food coupons or movie tickets is not happiness. Neither are weekly alcohol galas post-work. Happiness is mental well-being. That can happen with good company culture. An environment with zero toxicity. A place where employees could question senior authority. That will …
responsibility
We take the responsibility of others on ourselves.We think the world will not move without us.As a pilot, we start imagining everything under our belt.We try to mend fences and go to lengths to win the crowd. Is it because we are alone ourselves? Or is it like a battle or race we are fighting …
itch
A lot many innovations happened because of personal itch. Be it a bicycle mechanic building the first airplane or an entrepreneur building a rocket, an electric car, or a solar company.

We spend thousands of liters …

I understand our society and upbringing come with this invisible barometer for settling down with whatever and living in agreement. Millions of failed marriages and broken …
past
How much should our past matter to us? We can sulk in pain or celebrate. In either case, it is gone. Past is a mere experience. We try to dive for numerous hours into our past for happy or sad moments. It depends on the current state of our mind. How much does it help? …
PPP
We live in a world where most don’t like the grunt of PPP: pain, patience, and persistence. Nothing creative or marvelous came without it. Van Gogh, Leonardo Da Vinci, Wright Brothers, Monet, Edison, Tesla, Gandhi, and Martin Luther King. All went through it. Our generation wants everything with a click: food, medicine, sex, etc. The …
faces
We all carry distinct faces, which we bring out in different scenarios or with people we are dealing with. As a son, we act differently with our close friend’s circle. We are different from a uniqueness when we are with our lover than in a formal setup. Sometimes in the journey, we get at loggerheads …
