There are many people we are connected via our network like LinkedIn, Twitter, etc. We have not personally met them. We are added to them for their wisdom, domain expertise. As a founder, we are always on a joyride with things screwing up now and then. I was looking for some help in marketing and …

success
The secret sauce of success is sold and glamorized by media and best selling authors. What most don’t tell you about the sufferings one has to go through to achieve the invisible. Tesla, Gandhi, Beethoven, Rudyard Kipling, Helen Keller, Ada, Charlie Munger, Ruskin Bond, Van Gogh, Epictetus, founders of Haldirams, Havell’s Electric: the list is …
want
How much time do we spend thinking about what we want from the world and the people around us? It is like a checklist of expectations from the rest.

deception
We are living in a world where deception sells. It is not limited to relationships, humans. Our consumerism era thrives in disguise and deception. I was at a grocery store, and this is what happened. Another evening in the name of security, HotStar was harvesting the phone numbers of Indian users. A friend of mine …
time
Time is the most valuable asset for us. We are dying every single moment. The more and more I see our neglected attitude towards I get hurt. People say we Indians do not value the importance of time. To me, it is not about being Indian or not Indian. It has more to do with …

You cannot live in this world pleasing everyone. Not everyone is alike, not even twins. The sooner we realize it, the better our life becomes. Our ideologies are different. We are all biased. We cannot think alike: world wars happen for a reason. The rule applies everywhere at the workplace, in relationships, or in sales. …
