Traveller In Pursuit of Happyness. I can Think, I can Wait, I can Fast. (May be not in the same order). I trek, I travel, I ride and sometimes I run!

”Don’t be afraid to fail. Be afraid not to try.”

So that time of the year again, when many of us make some resolutions. This year have decided to make some SMART goals instead of resolutions for 2021 ( how poorly I did in 2020 is in the thread under)

Here we go :

"Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high”

On this Republic Day, let’s honor the Republic that gave us wings. May we live lives of integrity, innovation, and impact, worthy of the soldiers who guard our skies, borders, and dreams.

Jai Hind!

Back home, spreadsheets awaited. But Arjun wondered: perhaps the real portfolio was this: fleeting dances, enduring walls, roads that question everything. And in that moment, he U-turned. Driven by: “मैं ज़िंदगी का साथ निभाता चला गया।”

“Rhythm of the Stone Walls”

Mountains don't just test you, they rewrite you.

A story!

Dance crested, arms high, voices to gods. Arjun's heart shattered. Who am I without this? A ledger of losses? Dawn broke cold. Bike fired up. Orchards blurred. Circle's echo thrummed. Can a city man claim these mountains?

“A Godfather-style foreign policy moment: the US just told the world it will ‘run’ Venezuela and its oil - an offer Caracas couldn’t refuse.”
​
If you are interested in how oil, currency, and empires intersect, this is worth a slow, reflective read.

As we step into 2026, a Sanskrit concept deserves our collective attention: *स्थितप्रज्ञ* (Sthitaprajna) - the person of steady wisdom.

As we begin 2026 together, let us all become Sthitaprajna in our own ways. Not all at once. Not perfectly. But with intention.

Happy New Year!

कितना भी ट्रैवल कर लो, हर साल कुछ ना कुछ रह ही जाता है!

[TheAstuteReader @TheAstuteReader]

Another journey and another fascinating book!

What are you reading these days?

[TheAstuteReader @TheAstuteReader]

@runner_anir Hopefully a ride together, someday Bro!

[TheAstuteReader @TheAstuteReader]

Call it passion, therapy, escape, or freedom: motorcycling is more than a ride. For me, It’s the purest form of feeling alive, one throttle twist at a time.

Rishi Parashar Mandir

Mandi, Himachal

Beauty that is almost unreal.

My late Aunt, Mrs. Indi Suresh Mahindra hailed from Mandi and often mentioned its landscape and urged me to visit.

I should have listened to her…
