You can take the thirsty to a pond. When someone craving mineral water, how are you helping? We are all aspirational humans. We want the best in our life. Be it with a job, our life, or a relationship. It has to be top-notch; we don’t settle for mediocre. As a friend, don’t offer unwanted […]

ways
There is no bulletproof plan as such. Be it with business or personal life. What most of us do is optimize for adversity. Keep a plan B; I have been asked and advised. I don’t know much about others, but I have lived a wholesome life, the best of both worlds. I don’t believe in […]
fear
Fear is a multi-trillion dollar industry. We are fearful of our death, losing our job or relationship. Many dictators came to power instigating fear of religion or race. On the startup front, fear dominates over competitors taking away our market or someone copying our ideal. In short, fear keeps us on our toes. Always running, […]
spark
Sometimes is the journey of our life; all we need is that spark. It can come from any source, the poem you read, people you met, observing nature, birds, animals, or reading an autobiography. It helps us to think and internalize ourselves and how we see ourselves or the world. The world we are living […]
Jugalbandi
I am just 10% through the book Jugalbandi by Vinay Sitapati. It gives the history and origin of the BJP and its association with RSS. It also talks about the togetherness as a team for Vajpayee and Advani. A lot of us want to stay out of politics and, I respect it. What I liked […]

buy
Why do we buy a house? To live or to buy more unwanted, non-necessary items to crowd it? There has been more than one instance where friends mentioned to be about their expenses in settling. Who came up with this idea of hoarding: it was the rich and influential ones? The consumerism treadmill teaches us […]
entrepreneurship
The romanticism of entrepreneurship is not needed. It is just another part people pursue. I understand media and authors portray a glorious picture of it. But in the end, it is just another route or journey. For one success story, there are thousands of other failures. We don’t talk about them. The selective narration of […]
War
Whose war is it anyway? War on independence, who are making free? Who makes and loses out of any war? We are lucky to be living a life with the basic necessities. Many others are not fortunate enough. They are just born in the country, color, race, or religion that makes them vulnerable. War happens […]
relevance
We all dislike media for being one-sided or for showing half-truth. At the same time, we secretly desire to be part of it. Humanity survived all these years because of desire and aspirations for a better future. We are constantly chasing the utopia. With the advancement in technology and constant media gaze via various modes […]
