fire
There is a fire within us, the fire to do something. Most of the time, it comes when we are ignorant and uncorrupted by societal rules. Ask a young kid what he wants to become growing up, and they will have some answers. In most times, they will not remember as they age. It is …
karma
I know this sounds philosophical, but karma works in mysterious ways. We live in the era of capitalism, where the sermon has become: “What’s in it for me?” Everything starts with wealth and ends with “I”; we as a universe have no place. But what are we seeking in the end? After all the wealth, …

Conductor
I was talking to Karthik and got introduced to Zubin Mehta, a conductor. The next few hours were all watching and listening to his work. It was incredible. I have added one such video below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDKssCu9Dds Reading more about Zubin and Orchestra made me compare it with startup life. We are all part of an …
