One piece of advice I will give to my younger self is to be more fearless. Take more risks, venture more into the journey unimaginable and get out of comfort. It is humbling to see 18-20 years kids have figured out what they want. When you are fearless, you have a world of opportunity that …

Internship
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. We are asking way too much from these kids: offering them money and expecting them to be more like full-time employees. It does not …
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.

Twitter is a single place with many intellectuals and thought leaders becoming experts like chameleons with time and situation. I get amazed seeing Twitter shoving my feeds with these folks(It lands on its own, without following them). Also, how come someone with no knowledge in medical science became a COVID expert and, until a few …
kick
Sometimes in life, we get a kick from the outside. It changes how we see our world. We all live in our rabbit hole of thoughts with a limited assumptions about ourselves. The kick can be a near-death experience or an awakening, and it rewrites the purpose of our living. Our life is the sum …
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 …
