There’s a particular kind of fear that only a parent knows. The fear that comes watching your child choose a life you can’t quite protect them.

Vinayak is an engineer by education. He was in product, good at his job, well liked and adding value. Everything about it looked right from where I stood: Security, salary, work place etc.

But he felt that he didn’t fit. Not as a complaint but a quiet truth. He didn’t like the closed spaces, the stillness and the daily routine.

On a family holiday, he took to deep sea diving. He went back again, to the same diving site. He learnt. He trained. And he started interning with them and helping tourists. He would check the oxygen cylinders, give demos, instructions. And he soon got certification as a deep sea diving instructor.

And one fine day, he announced that he is quitting from his corporate life. He went abroad and learnt more. And more. And more. He trained. Got every certification - On diving, surviving etc.

He is now a deep sea diving instructor, working in Indonesia. He earls less than half the pay, carries cylinders, spends long hours underwater, lives without the comforts I spent a career trying to provide. No AC room. Not even a wash basin in his room. No safety net.

He is happy. Underwater, undercompensated, and, by every real measure, more himself than he ever was in that office.

My fear hasn’t fully gone. I don’t think it’s meant to. He didn’t need me to protect him from this choice. He needed me to trust that he knew himself better than I did. That’s the harder thing to learn, as a parent: sometimes love means stepping back and letting someone be honest, brave and trusted.

I am proud. He had the courage that I didn’t have. He gave up comforts and chose what his heart said. He trained. Learnt. He was happy to be a subordinate than be the promoters son. He chose the difficult path. The not so treaded path. He is happy. And I am proud.

Happy birthday Vinayak.

NEW: Students go nuts after donor announces during his commencement speech that he is paying off all of their senior year debts.

Anil Kochhar and his wife decided to give the gift to all ~200 graduates in N.C. State's family.

Kochhar is the son of Prakash Chand Kochhar, an immigrant from India who studied textile manufacturing in Raleigh.

"My father found not just an education, but an opportunity that allowed him to build a life, support his family, and begin a legacy that continues today. And it will never stop, never," Kochhar said.

I’ve always hated typing on my phone — it’s slow, clunky, and breaks my flow.

Then I found @WisprFlow through @pmarca

It just gets it. Fast, accurate, and feels like thinking out loud instead of typing.

Whoever built this — you’ve genuinely made my day-to-day better. 👏

India is the world's largest producer of mangos, growing roughly 45-50% of the world's mangos every year.

However, less than 1% of those mangos get exported due to the fact that people in India eat almost all of them.

People ask me all the time about compelling use cases of AI. Here’s a good one.

Millions of dogs go missing in the U.S. every year—and options for finding them are often painfully limited. Our Ring team saw an opportunity to use our community and technology to help, so they built Search Party.

When a pet owner posts about a lost dog in the Ring app, nearby participating outdoor Ring cameras in the neighborhood begin looking for potential matches. If yours spots what might be the missing dog, it lets you know. You see the photo alongside footage from your camera, then can choose to share the video with the pet’s owner.

The AI is trained on tens of thousands of dog videos so it can recognize different breeds, sizes, fur patterns, body features, unique marks, shape, and color. And privacy stays in your control—you decide each time whether to help.

The impact is energizing. Search Party has helped bring home 99 dogs in just 90 days—more than a dog a day since launching three months ago.

Ring customer Kylee was blown away by Search Party after her dog Nyx was found by a neighbor’s camera just 15 minutes after slipping through a tiny hole he’d dug under her backyard fence.

When a Ring customer and military veteran named Kurt realized his service dog was missing after jumping his fence, he worried he might have lost her for good. He quickly initiated a Search Party in the Ring app asking neighbors to help locate her. Later that day, he got the notification he was hoping for…Lainey was found.

Chris, a Ring camera owner, helped reunite another lost dog with its family after getting an app alert that said, “Your camera may have spotted a missing dog,” flagging footage he wouldn't have otherwise noticed.

And the list of stories like these keeps growing.

Now we’ve expanded this feature so that anyone in the U.S. can start a Search Party through the Ring app, even without a Ring camera (lost pets are one of the most common posts in the Ring Neighbors app—over 1M last year alone).

With roughly 90 million dogs in the U.S., think this is gonna matter for a lot of families. Good example of real-world impact, and proud of what the Ring team has built here. https://t.co/Pr3jzP4o4o

The best gift you can give your child isn’t more toys.
Not a bigger house.
Not even the best school.

It’s a sibling.

Someone who comes from the same place you do.
Someone who remembers the same kitchen smells, the same family stories, the same hard days when things weren’t easy.

One day, when parents are no longer around, siblings are still there.
They carry the memories.
They remember your childhood with you.
They know who you were before the world got to you.

A sibling teaches things no book ever will.
How to share without being asked.
How to forgive and move on.
How to stand up for someone just because they’re yours.

In a world that pushes people to be “independent” and alone, siblings quietly save children from loneliness.
They fight. They compete. They drift apart at times.
But when life hits hard, they almost always find their way back to each other.

Money comes and goes.
Status fades.
Friends change with time.

But a sibling stays.
Messy. Imperfect. Real.
And deeply precious.

Give your child a brother or a sister.
You’re not splitting love.
You’re giving them more of it.

Under President Trump’s leadership, common sense, scientific integrity, and accountability have been restored to federal food and health policy.

For decades, the Dietary Guidelines favored corporate interests over common-sense, science-driven advice to improve the health of Americans.

That ends today.

The new Dietary Guidelines call for prioritizing high-quality protein, healthy fats, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains—and avoiding highly processed foods and refined carbohydrates.

Had an unbelievably amazing experience renewing my passport. Definitely want to call out two things that just amazed me:
The tech: I don't think I have ever used a Govt. website that works this well
The operations: Clear, fast and reliable

Creative strategy tip of the week:

If you work with a Meta rep then make sure to request this report continuously for your brand every 30 days.

Understanding both the level of your creative fatigue and days to creative fatigue are crucial.

Reps are able to give you data on the following:

Creative fatigue score:
Vertical fatigue percentile:
Days to medium fatigue:
Days to high fatigue:

Review your fatigue score and days to fatigue and see which type of assets fatigue the fastest.

Chances are you'll be able to take learnings away from that report that you can directly apply into your creative strategy.
