What will someone value when they are dying of thirst? What will someone value when they are dying of hunger? What will someone value when they are aging? Value depends on necessity. And we all have our own pain and need. We value things on our needs and priority.

Moving
We talk about trust, friends, and relationships. Think about the love/crush at school/colleges. All the dreams we made together. How many of it stays to reality? We human species are a slave to our thoughts. It’s tough to move past those promises and whatnot. When you were kids, you were different: you were more innocent …
simple
I am trying to read fiction more these days. I find authors writing style my reason to read or re-read them. From RK Narayanan, Khuswant Singh, Satyajit Ray, Gorge Orwell to Ernest Hemingway. I find they are writing uber-simple in a free flow. These are some folks I enjoy reading again and again. There are …
journey
How much do we think about the past? The journey and co-passengers. I know a lot of us die with it. I also know many swear by the stories, epics. When we dwell in the past, we become miserable or happy. We don’t see what’s there to offer us in the present. The reason being …
hate
How can we hate someone or something so passionately that we end up hurting ourselves? I know few people who can go at any length to see few others failing.

mirage
I have been part of multiple funded startups. As a stakeholder, we are chasing a mirage: An investor bets on growth for the future. A founder sells his equity at a premium showing the total addressable market and disruption. On most occasions, this does not work out and, the company shuts its doors. An investor …
loneliness
I was listening to the knowledge project podcast and, the recent one has Noreena Hertz: The Crisis of Loneliness. It made me realize how lonely we are even after being so connected with the world. We are buying robots or dependent on Alexa for curing our loneliness. In the hyper-connected world, we are so disconnected. …
accept
Once we accept who we are, authenticity comes by default. I know we are living in a world where life hacking is a new hobby. We are going into the details of every daily activity. But in quest of achieving it, we are giving away our authenticity. I see people on keto, intermittent fasting and, …
noise
We are living in noise. Everyone around us has something to say; everyone needs our attention. Each one has different expertise and experience. As a builder or any rational human, it is necessary to keep a filter. It keeps us focussed and aligned to the long-term vision. Falling into the noise will lose our focus …
