past
How much should our past matter to us? We can sulk in pain or celebrate. In either case, it is gone. Past is a mere experience. We try to dive for numerous hours into our past for happy or sad moments. It depends on the current state of our mind. How much does it help? …
Believe and build
I keep asking founders who come to pitch for intros and funding why they are building this. On a few occasions, people walk away being angry. It comes as a rude shock to them.

PPP
We live in a world where most don’t like the grunt of PPP: pain, patience, and persistence. Nothing creative or marvelous came without it. Van Gogh, Leonardo Da Vinci, Wright Brothers, Monet, Edison, Tesla, Gandhi, and Martin Luther King. All went through it. Our generation wants everything with a click: food, medicine, sex, etc. The …

Frankl has coined it hyperintention. You are too obsessed with making money and getting rich. It has taken a toll on your mind and body. Even after …

These moments become tough on me as I enter into self-critique mode:It is me.I am responsible.It was my mistake mode. In these times, rationality, stoicism & all the learnings get into the warzone.It’s me fighting …
emotions
Stop being emotional. It’s a vice and showstopper in success. My friends tell me time and again to me. I feel they have lived or met enough in their world that has made them conclude all this. I see a different world, and the world has a place for emotions. We are still humans. Can …
