For 9 months, I've been fighting to fix an EPS → EPF misallocation. The mistake wasn’t mine. I’m a former @CapgeminiIndia employee. My basic pay was ₹15K+, making me ineligible for EPS—but Capgemini still remitted pension contributions. EPFO responded with cryptic, unhelpful…

வாழ்வை வாழ வேண்டும் என்ற எண்ணமே பலமுறை வாழ்வை வாழ விடாமல் செய்கிறது! The very thought that “I must live my life”—repeatedly— often stops me from actually letting myself live.

Don’t try to do everything when you’re starting. Pick one clear priority— then let every other task support it, not compete with it. Priorities aren’t meant to be balanced— they’re meant to be ranked.

If you're in your 20s and feel poor or can’t afford things—relax. Your life hasn’t even started yet. Don’t inherit your parents’ limitations. Respect their journey—but dream bigger. Work hard to afford what actually adds value to your life.

India has the second-largest active military in the world. If our Defence R&D keeps evolving at this pace, it’s only a matter of time before we start fielding world-class tech across the board. Not speculating—just observing the trend. Feels inevitable.

Tesla started as a car company. Now it’s building Optimus. One day, that robot might transform into a Tesla. And when that happens… Optimus Prime will call out: “Calling all Optimus—it's time to build the future.” 😄

Great philosophers, scientists, and visionaries didn’t focus on just one thing— They focused on one thing at a time. But the rest of the time, their vision was 360°. That’s how they understood the work they truly did. Obsession narrows you. Awareness expands you.

The Diderot Effect: A phenomenon where acquiring a new item leads to a spiral of consumption— because the new possession makes everything else feel outdated or inadequate. One upgrade triggers another. Not out of need, but to restore harmony.

When you're fixated on the goal, you sometimes miss the course correction. Fixation works for a jockey and a horse racing to a short finish line. But in life, course correction is just as important as the goal. Long journeys need steering, not just speed.

Execution triples your learning compared to theory. Knowledge that isn’t applied? That’s the biggest punishment you can give yourself.

What are we really afraid of? Failure? Failure gives you stories to guide, share, and cherish when you're too old to act. But failure to start? That only leaves you with regret—and complaints no one wants to hear.

What are we really afraid of? Failure? The real failure is not starting. Because when you're old and bedridden, regret is the only thing left you can do.
