India is moving towards her 75th year of Independence! The people of our generation (especially post-millennials) never knew the pain of invasion by foreign rulers. We didn’t experience the bloodshed of Partition. When the whole of India was celebrating the day of independence on the 15th of Aug 1947, Mahatma Gandhi was on fasting at…

day346 – Sweet spot
The other day, I was invited to deliver a keynote speech on entrepreneurial trends at a college. It’s been over a decade since I have been interacting with students across the country. Many colleges and universities have invited me to talk. But they have all been either engineering colleges or business schools or such departments….
day345 – Rich Dad Poor Dad
Today I got a memory notification from Facebook from 7 years back! It was a post in which I mentioned that I was reading the book Rich Dad and Poor Dad and quoting the below sentence: “People’s lives are forever controlled by two emotions; fear and greed. The ones who come out of it will…
day344 – True richness
In life, being rich or looking like you’re rich is an age-old paradoxical choice. The richness I’m talking is not just about financial or economic well being. Along with that, our emotional well being, social values, education, satisfaction in our profession or even the number of true friends we have – we could either be…
day343 – Brain gym
I was reading a note on enhancing our neural functional ability as a human. Something which helps us to become more calm, mindful, decisive and into supreme learner mode. We know that our brain functions as two hemispheres and our right part of the body is controlled by the left hemisphere and vice versa. On…

Lee Kuan Yew, popularly known as LKY, is the founding father of modern Singapore. One of the smallest but most developed economies in Asia. British colonialism followed by Japanese invasion – the first half of the 20th century wasn’t that incredible for a tiny nation like Singapore which has no natural resource to export. Under…
day341 – Heart temple
The other day I was watching a much-awaited Indiananthology series (of Tamil language) on Netflix. The variety of talents merging and the very purpose of creating such a project amidst the pandemic was exciting. (The producers made the project to support the daily wage workers and other members of the Film Employees Federation of South…
day340 – Empty eye
During the final year of my engineering course, I did my main project at Hyderabad. I had lots of free time during those days, which made me think of doing a part-time job. After many searches, I found a technology company which aligned with my interest in network security. That company was developing and selling…
day339 – Hand in hand
Happened to see a quote today which made me think deeply for a few minutes: “You glow differently when you have good people with good intentions in your life.” It’s a good trigger to introspect well and understand who are with us and who have got good intentions! It also brings a great degree of…
day338 – 11:00 – 11:30 AM
I think it’s been more than 5 years since when someone asks me for a meeting I fix it at around 11 or 11:30 AM. That’s the most productive time, I found for myself in the day to have serious meetings and discussions (My personal preference). But, the interesting thing I have noticed is that…
