10. For the longest time, your honesty will bring you troubles, make you the uncool kid in front of others, and perhaps make you consider otherwise.
Only when you still stay true to it, it rewards you magnanimously.
Sometimes even without asking for it!
@GabbbarSingh
I wish more people do this rest of their adult lives - when they are in the middle of a rat race and are crying, may they have the courage to return to their parents whenever they want to 😇
I turned 30 today. Yayyy!!!
Don't know why it is considered as "end of life."
I have been brimming with energy, new habits and agility of a kid all this month :))
Well, on that note, here are 3 takeaways from me to you, on my 30th birthday:
Someone who asks a lot of questions before starting is simply avoiding the work.
Someone who asks a lot of questions in the process is really curious.
Knowing the difference makes all the difference.
I was raised as a kid to come first in school. That was my definition of success.
Over time, here are 17 ways I have developed my own definition of success (and probably you should, too):
21. You create your own unconventional truths.
People may not agree with you, but deep down, they draw inspiration from you every single day – because you show them what’s possible!
And that, is the best life lived - every single day!
Fin.
8. When you need someone and they are there for you; yet you never make an effort to check on them - then that is not friendship. That is selfishness under the mask of friendship.
20. At the end of the day, you have to deal with it alone. You can be happy about it, feel sad about it, but the quicker you accept it, quicker you will be able to come to a place of peace.
That moment when Naina said Bunny she was not cool, and Bunny told her, hell she was, we all felt it!
A thread on not feeling “cool” and yet being cool with it!
13. Reading
@ThisIsSethsBlog
enhances your writing.
Reading
@JamesClear
articles enhances your productivity.
Reading
@naval
enhances your thoughts.
NONE of these work if you have accepted that you are worthless.
13. The most difficult, and the most important one: Having a relationship with yourself is the hardest part.
Others could be blamed.
Poked fun at.
Even abandoned.
You can do none of these to yourself.
Only when you are ready to take responsibility of your life (not 1/10th as easy as poking finger at others), only then you realise how useless all unpopular opinions become :)
Fin.
18. We could do all our daily work in half the time. But then, we’ll be have to face ourselves. That’s scary for most people. Thus, we stay hashtag busy.
3. If you let the moods and actions of others determine your days, you allow your gold and diamond to turn into iron - whose rust eats itself.
Make your moves wisely.
8. To not talk with someone who once helped you in your life because they’ve gotten toxic, is selfish.
But is hanging around with toxic people a generous act?
When you play "kho gaye hum kahaan" Ahmedabad version on YouTube and listen audience cheering at the first note of Prateek Kuhad playing guitar - he is still focused on the guitar.
Zero change in expression because of the cheering.
That is the artist I want to be. Unfazed.
Sometimes I feel lonely.
Very lonely.
Veryy veryyy lonely.
Miss my bff who isn't talking to me.
Miss my sister who is managing her stuff out.
Miss my friends whom I recently broke up with.
Miss my nephews and nieces who jump by seeing me come out of my room.
Miss being loved.
In the end, it is all about how true you were, to yourself.
In the start, it is also about how true you are, to yourself.
Almost everything else, gets figured out. Trust me on this, as this comes from a former insecure person.
Fin.
@iimcomic
None of us know what the exact conversation is.
Also, I think it is important to speak up when you think what is happening is not correct.
It does not mean you are aggressive. It simply means you are assertive. Which is important, otherwise people would just walk over you.
And, now, I need a gift from you on my birthday.
Please please call a loved one and tell them you love them.
The one who is not expecting a call.
The one who only gives.
The one who rarely expects.
I don't want you to reply "Done", because I trust you.
Thanks, for the gift :)
@Ishansharma7390
I am turning 31 in exactly 2 weeks - 1 day.
Just one advice:
When you have you with yourself internally, and a daily ritual of reading, working out, and journalling, no one can touch you. Ever.
Life lesson:
If someone reaches out to you for help and you can, it helps to put your ego aside for a moment and help them out.
You have NO idea how much they need it.
The world makes it too hyped up, but spirituality is the most beautiful thing to have happened to me.
And you.
And everyone else.
9 things we all have been taught WRONG about spirituality
A thread
And let's bust them together :))
@BoringBiz_
That's a boss in action. SO much to learn in this one email.
- Telling them "we are doing right"
- Telling them this has to change
- Giving them the chance to decide, so they have that agency
- Being kind and respectful
- Yet being firm at the same time.
At the end of the day, if you do not have YOU in the career, it is because YOU are something else.
You just know it in your heart,
The heart is just waiting for you to OWN it.
Fin.
1. Stress isn't natural
Because most of the world is stressed out, we think it must be natural.
Not true.
Being at ease is natural.
Going to bed without wondering what will happen next is natural.
Doing your best and letting it be is natural.
We've just stopped practising it.
I was on a leave for the last 9 days, with:
- Not touching the laptop for 4 days
- No social media for more than 5-10 minutes
- 10-11K steps daily
- Meditating 3-5 hours daily
What a blissful life it was, truth be told <3
Finally having my first Twitter space tomorrow with none other than
@ashramachandran
We talk about career, content, and our stories!
See you tomorrow :)
Set your reminders:
Some people are living 10X happier than you.
Having less money and education than you.
The difference is, they didn't allow "what others might think" to do what is right.
Yes there will be difficult moments.
Yes there will be times you want to freak out, be uncivilized, and get angry.
But, it is in difficult moments that your character is defined – whether you vanish on the day you were least expected to, or you show who you really are.
Fin.
@udaykotak
Thank you for everything, Uday.
Kotak was my first job where I served for 3.5 years.
Got the best manager.
The best team leader.
The highest level of adherence to processes.
And experiences that even after 5 years of quitting the job, I still talk about it on LinkedIn sometimes…

Tonight 11:59 pm is the timeline, before we start our next rounds. 💪
Come on, Twitter 🚀
1. Leadership does not mean knowing everything.
You learn along the way.
You learn from the team.
You learn every single day, by showing up even when you want to stall.
Leadership is about being the student of the team, and learning from them, every single day.
I spent 11 years of my life doing:
- Undergrad
- CA
- CS
- Internship for CA
- 5 years in a corporate job
I can now say with conviction that writing is the most important skill for life.
The better you get at writing, the better your career (and life) becomes.
It is about how you talk to yourself.
It is all about what you talk to yourself.
It is all about whether you even talk to yourself.
Our words tear people down, or build them up.
But before them, they tear or build ourselves up.
Up to us.
Fin.
B'day tomorrow. How to celebrate?
- I donate already
- Happy with my career
- NOT a fan of eating out at all
- Will cook paneer ki sabzi and rice
- And will take a nature walk
Add some more suggestions, Twitter!
Twitter is the best way to polish your communication skills
Yet 99.2% of people use it wrong
Here's are 7 ways to turn your Twitter account to grow your communication skills you were never taught in school:
1. Everyone goes through pain
But the ones who get out of it, do not look for quick fixes to mask it.
The best way to deal with pain, is to process it and learn from it.
That way, you use pain. Instead of the pain using you.
