My parents would never attend my chess tournaments. They were too busy making their mark in the world, and i am grateful for that.
But a lot of my friends would have their parents outside the tournament hall, stretching their torso’s slanted, trying to get a glimpse of their…
It is not a co-incidence that Carryminati, Arpit Bala, Vinamre Kasana and Rajat Dalal are from the same city
Faridabad is the true entertainment capital of India
I think what celeb midwits dont understand is that there is a possibility for evil/ wrong beyond oppression. That there is a difference between oppressed and terrorised.
Israel is not oppressed by Hamas, its terrorised by hamas. Gaza is oppressed by hamas. Palestine is…
“When Shri Ram asked Hanuman about his true nature — ‘who are you?’
Hanuman said, ‘When I forget who I am, I serve you. When I remember who I am, I am you.’”
Wow
Rituals are not about face value. Rituals are about symbolic value.
I was in America when COVID happened. The response of people was hysteria, panic and violence. My suspicion is that this ‘unhinged’ ritual had something to do with reducing that texture of response. It brought…
Now
@SandeepSeminars
is using his power to pressure
@YouTubeIndia
into removing my videos.
THIS IS HOW POWER WORKS. He still cannot take it and will go to ANY AND ALL EXTENTS to silence me.
Is there anyone from YT India/ anyone who can connect me with someone from YT India?
Im planning an intro to psychology and intro to philosophy lecture series.
Ill teach you the basics in one weekend and then you are free to read whatever.
Who is in?
After a month of trying to destroy my career and reputation, Sandeep Maheshwari finally decided to reach out to me directly.
Still patronising. Still blind to his own situation. Still unwilling to talk to a real fkn person.
I expect more from him. Stay tuned
My advice to youngsters who feel lost:
Rapid Experimentation.
Create a list of things that you are interested in. Try them out in small doses of 15-45 days.
In 6 months you'd have 100X more clarity about your career than you had initially.
My father has 3 rules of success to live by:
1. Be so good at your job that you're undeniable
2. Shake everyone's hands as you go along your professional journey
3. By the time everyone wakes up, half your day should be over
By far the most robust and universal advice I know
Anything which occupies your mind influences you.
This influence can come from people/things/events you admire, respect, dislike, or envy.
Be careful with what you let into your mind.
There was once an American challenger that took on the entire might of the USSR machinery at the world chess stage. That year was 1972, and it became the most public chess match ever played in the backdrop of two competing nations and their political tension. Fischer beat Spassky…
Man this dude gonna make me tear up a little bit.
RIGHT NOW IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL TIME TO BE AN INDIAN CHESS FAN.
Vidit Gukesh Prag Arjun Nihal Raunak…list goes on and on.
What a moment this is!

Goosebumps!

Indian competitive attitude often falls prey to thinking that the test itself is the measure of success.
That a ruler can be measured by another ruler and therefore be declared accurate.
The competitive bottleneck around UPSC, CA, IIT possibly does more harm than good.…
Triggering Opinion
What's the point in JEE being the toughest exam in the world, if we take 40 years to develop a fighter jet
What's the point in UPSC being so tough and picks only the best minds, if we don't have basic infra & Governance Delivery, 70 years post independence
We tend to pay too much attention to those who speak confidently and too little to those who think deeply.
Confidence should not be mistaken for credibility
Seek out those who think critically for true understanding.
My ex is on ad posters all over New York City and its the kind of thing where you see something and you have to laugh out loud at how uncaringly life messes with you. 😂
Today, Sandeep Maheshwari insists I delete my video because he decided to delete his. (Logic = 100)
How does SM audience (& peepoo) feel that their daddy brings them to a fight and then leaves himself?
Tum jis insaan ko bhagwan bana bethe ho, woh khud ko leke hi sure nahi.
Guy literally said ‘I will touch your parents’ feet in apology and give you a big hug’ and then put us in danger with his 0:56 second propaganda clip again
BAAZ AAJAO SANDEEP MAHESHWARI! 🦁 jaag gaya toh sach bol dega
Today was the first time in my life when i enjoyed being in a pooja. Felt and understood, and was felt and understood in, God’s presence.
The years of youthful atheism are behind me. Im still not religious, but I understand the faith world more than ever.
Happy Diwali to…
Your psychology is extremely dependent on your physiology.
If you are healthy on the inside of your body, you will be healthy on the inside of your mind.
This might be slightly long and cliched, but I want this out.
Earlier this day, I heard a friend passed away. He was 26-27, roughly my age, roughly my size. When I had met him at a mixer, he was the only other Indian there and from minute one he had shown the same spark for…
The whole ‘Sidhu rapped about gun culture, khalistan and thus karma’ gang is still stuck in the ideological binary and tragically blind to the real problem/symptom - state failure, collapse of law and order, and the nonchalant use of violence to settle scores in our homeland.
Sandeep: Peepoo ye le naya word ‘whataboutism’ aur fenk ye twitter par Prakhar par.
Peepoo: but daddy iska matlab..?
Sandeep: kise farak padta hai? Humari audience ko lagega hum bhi smart hai
Most people label themselves introverts when in reality they are shy, afraid, or socially unskilled.
You can be very introverted yet socially popular at the same time.
it is far too under rated how much it matters when family supports you in things like this. if i ever lost a game in any tournament, the only person who could bring my spirits back up was my brother.
i was 11 he was 16, a boy himself. Yet still, I just wanted him to say 'Prakhar…
This is my chat with
@ajeetbharti
, truly a one of a kind man— sharp, articulate and un-scareable.
I spoke to him both on and off camera, and he is a force of nature that you cannot ignore.
For those who already know of him, you need to amplify him further. For those who…
Confidence has to built from within.
If you build it on compliments, it will be broken on criticism.
Be indifferent to compliments so you are unbothered by the hate.
Kya excitement hoti thi yaar school ke PE period mai apne favourite sport ko khel paane ki!
When you know abhi bell bajegi and you can play cricket, football, bball etc with your classmates.
Bade hoke milti hai aisi koi excitement?
Deep lesson here guys- in India, if you do not bend to the will of others, even if they are people swearing to destroy your life and reputation for fun, they will call you arrogant.
Arrogance = holding your ground. Arrogance = keeping your chin up. Arrogance = not being scared
Damn dude, QTs are so wild. Kids cant have fun any more?
I mean, Im not an enjoyer of conversations around outfits or sex or parties or cars or whatever, but people grow out of it man. And if they dont, they dont at a personal peril.

Id generally avoid tweeting, but I think I have more than solid experience with all this and I really want my boys to not live with this pessimistic world view.
This post is a kind of expression that comes from self esteem issues, lack of experience and deep lack of…

Bhai mai flight se new york jaa raha tha, fir socha 3 maheene laga ke paedal chala jata hu. Its not because Im crazy, I just love the fucking grind ❤️
Frankly, COB mai chahe
@ReheSamay
tukke se jeeta ho, life mai bhai fodd raha hai. As a chess fan I cannot be happier now that the sport is being repped like this.
Super excited for CSL.
@sagarchess1
It is psychologically impossible to not get affected by the feedback from other people.
You get to choose who those people are.
Be careful with who sits in your head.
I always have and still agree with Prakhar’s stand against SM, but I’ve thoughts about his defence of dragging Shwetabh into it.
Questions, answers to which he’s conveniently avoided with *speak to my lawyer*.
Genuinely very interested to see how PW is going to respond to Aman's video.
1. I dont think the video is going to go unnoticed
2. I dont think PW can admit to poaching without hurting market valuation
3. What is left is 'denial', and denial comes with a narrative.
I have the distinct honor of influencing the content of one of the largest content creators in the world. Guy talks about me, my ideas, my actions, my parents and my friends. He just never answers my questions 😂😂😂
Treat your early 20s like the opening of a chess game.
The opening moves of the game are all about positioning your main pieces carefully.
When it comes to your career, position yourself in places that set you up for long-term growth.

@TheLallantop
with all due respect, your story here is factually inaccurate in places here. Since this is a factual piece, it is my duty to tell you that.
Winning COB was a micro dream fulfilled.
I like nothing more than playing chess for people. Its weird. Im not that good, but its just such a passion.
Thank you
We, Indians, have some of the smartest techies and one of the world’s best tech scene on several metrics.
We, Indians, also have the worst tech outputs in the public sector. All govt platforms fail and lag. Cyber security is 8th grade standard.
The govt has to just pay these…
Spent the last 21 days homeless, sleeping from couch to couch, listening and reading, absorbing all the randomness the world threw at me, remembering what it felt like to be 21 and carefree.
Now, i have a home. Now, i wonder what ill create.
It is so interesting to see unanimous support for boAt and BMS on cancelling their involvement with Shubh’s tour.
This is not the India i grew up in. Back then, we were passive, almost absent. No institution would move at the behest of individuals.
