There is no one way of building your company or living a life. It all comes down to choice and how what you are leaving on the table. Or what you are optimizing life for? What is the overall purpose? Over the last 3-4 years of my own journey, after souls searching, reading, talking to …

value
What will someone value when they are dying of thirst? What will someone value when they are dying of hunger? What will someone value when they are aging? Value depends on necessity. And we all have our own pain and need. We value things on our needs and priority.
Moving
We talk about trust, friends, and relationships. Think about the love/crush at school/colleges. All the dreams we made together. How many of it stays to reality? We human species are a slave to our thoughts. It’s tough to move past those promises and whatnot. When you were kids, you were different: you were more innocent …
simple
I am trying to read fiction more these days. I find authors writing style my reason to read or re-read them. From RK Narayanan, Khuswant Singh, Satyajit Ray, Gorge Orwell to Ernest Hemingway. I find they are writing uber-simple in a free flow. These are some folks I enjoy reading again and again. There are …
journey
How much do we think about the past? The journey and co-passengers. I know a lot of us die with it. I also know many swear by the stories, epics. When we dwell in the past, we become miserable or happy. We don’t see what’s there to offer us in the present. The reason being …

hate
How can we hate someone or something so passionately that we end up hurting ourselves? I know few people who can go at any length to see few others failing. They will go at any length for the same, even if it affects them: personally, professionally, physically, or mentally. Our life on this planet is …
past
We call it past for the reason it has gone. We were part of it at some moment in our life. It can be good, bad, or mixed. There could be many reasons for it, our relationships, learning, or how we lived it. Our past gives us an experience. The enlightened ones learn from it …
accept
How long do we have to dwell in the past? How long we have to live in delusion? People move on, the relationship falters. A lot of us live in false hope. Like some supernatural ways, everything will come back to normal, like the past. As a result, they don’t move. They suck in the …
competitors
Every customer meeting or product demo, we are reminded who all we are competing. I mostly listen patiently. As a founder, it is easy to get lost in the competition. It results in creating a tunnel vision and copying their features. In the end no differentiation. Working for others for over a decade has altered …
