It’s interesting—the trail of a thought! I was watching this podcast on entrepreneurs when it occurred to me. As Riteish and Nikhil were talking about early life success, the imposter syndrome that comes with it, and its connection to ‘belief in God’ (the higher power that’s given you more than you deserve), I was intriguedContinueContinue reading “How rich are you?”

Celebrating the quiet victories!
Some experiences one has to live to fully understand. You might think that reading, listening, or even seeing someone live through it is enough, but no, some parts one has to live on their own. Coming from a humble background and making your own money is one such experience. The idea for this article cameContinueContinue reading “Celebrating the quiet victories!”
Unpacking Embarrassment
“I don’t know this person”, I replied amusingly. “C’mmon, it’s you.” came the reply. A friend shared a picture of our old school-time slam book entry. I returned the favour and did it with more people. While the degree of disbelief about ‘how cool we were’ (as one friend exclaimed) varied, the underlying feeling ofContinueContinue reading “Unpacking Embarrassment”
A fallacy, some math, and a question for life!
It’s interesting how one thing leads to another and how the combination of experiences is way more impactful than its standalone fragments. It’s been 3 weeks since I wished to write an article about it, but so much has happened since then that I don’t know how much of my original idea is still left;ContinueContinue reading “A fallacy, some math, and a question for life!”
Mental Health – Wisdom this year
I felt the need to write dedicated articles on this when COVID started. Each year had its own challenges: 2020 was about the immediate threat, facing the unprecedented situation; 2021 was about coping with the new normal, adapting to the changed world; 2022 was about looking back, processing the unprocessed, and mourning the lost yearsContinueContinue reading “Mental Health – Wisdom this year”
Do we struggle equally?
Whenever you reach a stage in life that society deems great, there’s no dearth of people who’ll meet you and say: “Your life is so good. Wish we had it like you.” While it feels good, the sweet taste turns sour quickly when you realize that most of the time it isn’t “great that youContinueContinue reading “Do we struggle equally?”
The Unadmirability of a Normal Life
“The question isn’t why there aren’t enough women leading Fortune 500 companies; the question is why are there any men at all?” said Dr. Peterson, in response to a question about CEOs being mostly men. Yes, they have their societal status and fortunes that would last generations, but then they spend 70–80 hours a weekContinueContinue reading “The Unadmirability of a Normal Life”
Sharing the non-shiny parts
Happy stories, happy events, happy memories spread all over the place. And why not? Isn’t that what gets the most traction? Isn’t that what everyone is after? I’ve spent quite a lot of time pondering over the question: Why do people just talk about the shiny parts of their lives? Is it because they don’tContinueContinue reading “Sharing the non-shiny parts”
You won’t get there in a year
It’s surprising how much expectations are entrenched into our psyche and sub-conscious mind that even when we don’t set goals, there’s a dissatisfaction that emerges when we fail to meet those unchalked out intended outcomes. Especially if you are a high performer who expects great things from yourself. It’s natural to be disappointed when youContinueContinue reading “You won’t get there in a year”

Little blog ideas – Part 1
I have a list of blog ideas that I keep adding to whenever I come across something interesting. Most of them, make it to the blog, but a few get left out. Sometimes it’s because there’s not much to them, and other times it’s because I’m not sure what I’d want to present about them.ContinueContinue reading “Little blog ideas – Part 1”
Nothing glamorous is happening in my Life
I’ve written a lot of blog articles but for some reason Time Series Data and a realization for life was the one that resonated the most with people. It was about how using social media on a daily basis lead to a misconception that great things are happening to everyone every day and I’m theContinueContinue reading “Nothing glamorous is happening in my Life”
