The concept of the internship was different in our times. Our seniors were more empathetic and were excellent guides. These days I feel we have rewritten the definition of an internship.

onions
We, humans, are like onions. Every layer has its own story, and for an outsider, we are just projections of the version we portray. Nobody cares what is going on in your other aspects of life but wants to see more of you and your bikini pics or jokes on Twitter. We are all lost …
bubble
There is a big bubble brewing in the financial market. The trillions of paper /currency US treasury minted are not helping. The stock market is at an all-time low. I have been speaking to founders and investors off-late. Some predict a meltdown for the next few years. I graduated in 2007, in a recession. India …
trust
Capitalism has put trust in the back seat. Old days we had a family physician, butcher, or milkman. They cared for us, and we trusted them with their quality of service. With time we are merely limited to buying or consuming. There is a pure transaction at play. We are just another face paying for …

who?
We have multiple faces within. Most of the world sees what we want them to show or what they have perceived about us. The other sides of us are limited to a few others around us. It can be with people we are cruel to or with people we are open to showing our vulnerability. …
true
We have to be true to ourselves in our actions to avoid future regrets. Our life is not a binary but a colorful rainbow. These colors are like our experiences. As we age or when our mind is idle, our thoughts will continuously remind us about these colors. If we have lived the moments true …
misfits
Society loathes misfits. After all, they are not part of their defined template. Misfits are nuts; they go against all the odds, dream big, and execute at the undefined rulebook. Most importantly, misfits have purposes hard-wired and don’t need external validation. Not everyone can be a misfit, it requires walking on the fire and facing …
