Every year, we should write our obituary. It may have 2 things:
1) What we want to say to the world
2) List of people we love and loved. Things we are grateful for.
Over time, first should keep getting less and second larger.

Not getting laid at home, kids dont relate with you, you haven't cried on a friend's shoulder in ages, social circle is all signaling.
Only options left are marathon, coffee or credit cards.
I find it very amusing that people with 60 LPA salary spend 2 hours optimising for which credit card to use so as to get that free flight ticket and get 10 rs cashback on CRED
Anu (23) works at our home in Lucknow. Got married early, making ends meet as a househelp, but keeps dreaming.

Go go girl!
A night out spend for us can be life changing for someone. ❤️

If you've made a big change mid-life or mid-career, quote this and share your story.
One of my very rich cousin jiju ( 100 crore plus ) told me last night how he can’t wear Levi’s anymore cos everyone can buy Levi’s now. So he shifted to GAP, and doesn’t wanna wear a cheap brand anymore. I sat there smiling wearing my Levi’s jeans.
30 years ago on this day we lost Tanya, my sister in an accident while she was telling a joke. Way to go sis.
I am not of the jealous kind but I will always be mightily jealous of people who have siblings. Please tell them often how much you love them.

Sir, I am abc calling from Tanishq. Happy Anniversary!
Me: Mam, it's been 4 years since my divorce.

I was feeling quite sad since morning, but this made my day! 😅🤦🏻
One thing I love about Bombay are these small 'Restaurant & Bar' outlets in every street (unlike Delhi) serving value for money food. Especially seafood. 🤩

Not mine but someone had tweeted - If you are living in Bangalore and your partner stays more than 5 kms away, you are in a long distance relationship.

Entering my 40th, sharing my story on Entrepreneurship, personal struggles, mistakes & redemption which my younger self wouldn't have been able to share, fearing judgement & exposing my vulnerability. But now, even if this helps 1 person, my job is done :)
If you are 35+ and have decent money to study something new, choose a second career, what will it be?
For example, I am an engineer (lol) by education and marketeer by practice but would love to have a shot at law.

Lovely story. Till 2013, every quarter an email will go to all Snapdeal customers with
@1kunalbahl
's id. We would get 15-20k responses from them, directed to Kunal. Rarely good, many bad, few ugly.
This insane guy would reply to each email with cc to core team! 🙌🙌🙌
This is the story of how

Bengaluru weather is so perfect for athletes, creators, writers, musicians, artists, theater, research. Ironical it's known for tech, they gonna sit in AC anyway 🙈

As layoffs loom, here are some pointers for marketing people in Startups. For the ones with 10+ year experience. (The VPs/AVPs)
A startup after 20+ people or Seed A starts looking for people who know the playbook and can build the system to stabilise/scale.

Virginity and youth gives you acquisition ideas around love. That you have to get them at any cost. Driven by possessiveness, jealousy and want.
In 40s, finding love feels like growing together, is constructive, tolerant, accepting. Butterflies are a bonus.
30s is confusing.
@abhishek_tri
This made me write this:
She isnt waiting for the moon,
She is waiting for you
Cos you believe
In the stories of the moon,
And she believes in you.

I was this person.
But when I met folks from small towns or NE, I realised how privileged I was to live in a city, study in English, exposure to so many things, if not all. There are smarter ppl than us, but they didnt get the opportunity & training to belong where they could.
If she was there today, she would have been at least 5'8, charmingly diplomatic, most probably in politics or bureaucracy and always impeccably dressed for the occasion.
I was (am) the emotional chu but she knew where power lies and how to string it to get what she wanted 😊
Buying a flat isn't success, having a place where you are loved and valued is.
Marrying a great looking person isn't home run, breaking the bed and bread with them is.
Getting promoted ain't it, number and quality of people who want to work with you is.

Prepare yourself to deserve what you desire.
To make Dad move, gave a fitness band on Diwali and told him if he does 8k steps/day we boys are going on a trip abroad. Man has been consistently clocking 12k+ steps!
Soon we shall 😁🤘
Happy 73rd to Dad. I love you.

"Attempting to escape from prison is legal in Germany. Attempting to escape from prison isnt punishable, as the law considers 'freedom' to be a basic human instinct. A prisoner who damages property,murders or assaults someone while escaping will be guilty of those crimes."
