I have been on a home decor spree. I realise that if home is the safe zone of your life, the one where you write, think, feel and be of service to the world, it might as well be the space of artistic haven.

The way you write is a reflection of how you think.

Survival in 2024 depends on our learning. Those who invest in educating themselves and stacking skills will move way faster than the others.

Money and values are not related.

We speak about the what, never about the why. Why do you want to be a writer? Why do you want to buy that kitchen tray? Why do you want to teach? Knowing the why answers the what and how!

Did a workshop on storytelling and self-awareness with the good folks at @get_hypd.

Watching a Pink Floyd concert. Very few bands, people, companies have stayed relevant in three decades.

You are not competing with the world. You are competing with your past self.

Crossed that era of taking red eye flights. Don’t mind paying a few hundred rupees to get on a decently timed flight. #LifeUpgrade

Been building the ‘Mood Graph of Moments’ for the last 4 years. Document your highs and lows and know what’s working and what areas need fixing in life.

The only reason to make a lot of money: watch sunsets aimlessly without a care for the world. Surrender to the beauty of the everyday. :)

The one thing I learnt very late in life: how do think of money. The first thing was to change my relationship with money. It is just a means, not an end. The second thing was to understand how to manage money. And the third thing was to learn how to make money with money.

A good reframe for imposter syndrome: The world trusts you more than you trust yourself. That’s why you feel like an imposter.

To be able to sleep well is a gift of life.

The only way to fail in life is to set a goal. Know who you want to be and set up habits instead.

Set targets based on input, not on output.

All the people whose work I admire have been writing everyday for over a decade. Mark Manson wrote a blog everyday for 10 years and the best ones became his book. Seth Godin still maintains a daily blog despite how famous he is. Habits compound.

The main job of a founder is to tell good stories. Vision of the company = story Hiring a team member = story Selling to an investor = story Good stories help You sell Dreams.

Faith or fear: what would you choose?

When you apply for a job, you need to prove to the company about your value. How do companies prove that they are the best career move for you?
