Are we making our kids more risk-averse? Are western parents doing right by letting their kids explore the world by themselves? I have seen only one side with it being an Indian. I am lucky that the ways that most decisions in the last 15 years have been my own and the risk/rewards. My father …

decide
What would you do if you develop some infection on your arm? Will you cut it off? What will you do if someone close to you walks out of your life-giving all wrong reasons? Will you become bitter with them? These decisions should be taken by ourselves. We are called adults for a reason. We …
fragile
As a leader, it is necessary to understand the other side and team. Everyone looks at the leader, tries to match or clone their virtues as well as vice. We are living in a fragile world, and we are all broken one or the other way. The complexity of personal life, finance, society pressure is …

Divide
India has one of the youngest world population. Our education system is leapfrogging. The society stereotype has forced everyone aspires to become the next software engineer. Many new-age startups have gone steps further selling parents how their kids can become the next Nadella or Pichai by coding at an early age. Aspirational middle-class parents are …

I was watching Sandor Katz: The Art of Fermentation lecture. It was an eye-opener for me. I remember how grandma was very particular about leftover curd to make more curd from it. Fermentation is more of a magic than science. We have made bacteria the villain. They are part of us humans residing in guts …
