Had a fairly rough start to the day today- blue, low and stuck in my head. Tried my best to stay productive by focusing on work, hitting the gym, eating clean and logging 10k+ steps. Some days aren't about big wins, but showing up counts ig? Here’s to keeping it moving! :)

unlearn shame. all forms of shame: unemployment, illness, vulnerability, longing, desire, errors, failures. you do not need to feel ashamed of what you are experiencing or living. freedom and shame cannot coexist.

The crazy thing about compounding is that you barely notice it

Until one month equals what once took a year

June 2026: ₹1.2 crore net revenue ≈ FY2024 🚀

Q1 2027: ₹2.7 crore net revenue (> FY2025) ⏩

All this while generating a +ve Operaing Cash Flow and Operating Margin

The team has worked relentlessly to make this happen. Celebration pics will follow.

Here's to keeping our heads down and building ✨ 🍫

On exploration ☁️🌏🧳

One perspective that’s really changed for me from my early 20s to late 20s is exploration.

We’re made to believe growth comes from constantly experiencing more. More travel, more people, more hobbies, more novelty. And I think the world around us reinforces that too. We romanticise people who always have something new going on. It almost feels like if you’re not constantly adding to your life, you’re falling behind somehow.

But lately I’ve been feeling the opposite.

We already have access to more information and human experience than we can consume, yet we still live with this feeling that we haven’t seen enough, done enough, become enough. And I think that feeling makes it hard to commit to anything, because committing means letting go of some other version your life could’ve been.

Exploration is important. In fact, necessary too. You need some of it to know what you enjoy. But I think a lot of people get stuck there. Always searching, always waiting for the weekend, the next trip or the next phase of life to begin. Never doing something long enough to let it change them, because being seen as an “explorer” is considered a good thing.

But I believe there’s something really beautiful about repetition.

Going back to the same place because you genuinely love it instead of checking off a new one on your list. Playing a sport for years and seeing yourself get good at it. Knowing a few people deeply and spending more time with them. Doing things out of genuine love for them, not because they’re interesting to talk about or post online.

Maybe I'm just getting older. Or maybe the deepest form of happiness isn’t found in constantly discovering new things but committing.

How true! Could not have agreed more 💯:)

[Gurpriya @GurpriyaSidhu]

You will get over most bad stuff others did to you sooner than you think.
What will pinch you more, in the long term, is how you behaved with others.

In challenging moments, try to be the better person and do the right thing, not for others, but for yourself.

Being at peace with yourself is a privilege.

[signüll @signulll]

most of what you see on x are “what” tweets. like what happened. what launched. what someone said, etc.. surface level observations that are easy to consume & easy to share.

this is because very few ppl can consistently operate from the lens of “why.” cuz “why” is much harder.

understanding why something matters, grows, collapses, or spreads usually requires historical context, pattern recognition, incentive mapping, cultural intuition, technological understanding, & second order thinking all fused together. i.e. it requires seeing the invisible structure underneath the visible event.

this is what insight truly is. the why behind stuff is much much more interesting & to boot it acts like a dopamine hit for anyone who reads it.

1. Just got off a call with @UnSubtleDesi. I couldn't be happier for her and both of us couldn't help but discuss the harrowing days of post poll violence in West Bengal in 2021. So I am going to share what happened five years ago just so ppl know what happened. #WestBengal2026.

A lot of people grow up hearing 'we sacrificed so much for you', 'we did so much for you' instead of 'we had so much fun raising you', or 'those were the best years'.

No wonder people want to opt out of having kids given a choice.

Even aunties who want you to have kids will not sell it as something you may enjoy but as something 'you just have to do.'

For generations, kids have not been a choice for parents but duty. Everyone did duty, some did it happily, some did it gruntingly. It shows.

I was talking to an older cousin of mine and it was probably the first time I heard someone say, "I would always say have kids, we enjoyed it so much, I wish we could do it all over again."

That's how you sell the idea of having kids. Not what you may reap off them later, not what you may or may not regret later, but just that raising kids in itself is fun and meaningful.

There are parents who enjoy that process and that's how they talk about it later.

Her name was Ruchika Girhotra.

She was 14 years old. A tennis player from Panchkula, Haryana.

On August 12 1990, she went to meet S.P.S. Rathore at his office. He was the Inspector General of Police and head of the Haryana Lawn Tennis Association. He had promised her father he would arrange special coaching for her.

When her friend stepped out of the room, he molested her.

Her family filed a complaint three days later.

Rathore had her expelled from school. Her father was suspended from his bank job on false charges. Six cases were filed against her brother Ashu. The family's house was forcibly sold. They fled to the outskirts of Shimla and took up earth filling work to survive.

On December 28 1993, days after Ashu was paraded in handcuffs through their neighbourhood, Ruchika consumed poison.

She died the next day. She was 17.

Rathore threw a party that night.

He then refused to release her body to her father unless he signed blank papers. Those papers were later used to forge documents accepting a false autopsy report.

Despite a police inquiry recommending an FIR against him, Rathore kept getting promoted. He became the Director General of Police of Haryana in 1999.

The case went through 40 adjournments and more than 400 hearings over 19 years.

In December 2009 a court convicted him of molestation. He was sentenced to six months' imprisonment and fined Rs 1,000.

The sentence was later enhanced to 18 months. The Supreme Court upheld his conviction in 2016 but reduced it to the time already served. He walked free.

The judge who tried to add abetment to suicide charges against him was forced into premature retirement.

The judge who dismissed those charges was a neighbour of Ruchika's family involved in a property dispute with them.

S.P.S. Rathore was later invited as a VIP guest to a Republic Day event in Panchkula.

Ruchika Girhotra was 14 when he molested. She was 17 when she died.

Follow for stories India deserves to remember.

my music taste diverse as fuck. you can call me polyjammerous.. shit, you could even call me genrefluid

[signüll @signulll]

the reason why emotional intelligence is extremely rare is simply cuz it is expensive.

actually modeling another person’s internal state in real time is computationally brutal.. it requires suppressing your own frame, running a parallel simulation, & updating continuously.

the “inference costs” of eq in humans are likely much higher than the most expensive ai model in existence today.

Out of ten men, one makes a sexual joke at a woman, two laugh, three fake a chuckle to fit in, and four stay silent. None of them speak up. Later, nine of them still believe they're the "good guys." But from the woman's perspective, the laughter, the silence, the looking away, it all creates the same environment. So when women say"most men are the same," this is what they mean: not that every man harasses women, but that most men help protect the system that does.

i hate how social media makes us forget that life has stages. it’s normal to be broke, to have broke friends or partners and yes it’s even normal to be unemployed at times. these are phases we all go through.

some people are lucky enough to find good jobs at a young age and afford a certain lifestyle. others take longer and that’s perfectly okay. we need to stop comparing ourselves and start accepting our journey. i just want all of us to be at peace with where we are in life while still working and striving for better.

[blue @bluewmist]

heard someone say, “i don’t celebrate my wins because in my head, i was supposed to do it.” and honestly, that hit. so many of us move through life like that. we downplay our milestones because they feel like basic expectations. no celebration. no pause. just onto the next thing. but the truth is, even the things you expected from yourself are still achievements. you showed up. you followed through. that counts. let yourself be proud.

Your mother lied when she said the winter laddu had only a few drops of ghee. Your cook lied when they said they used only a few drops of oil to cook your food. Your chef lied when they said the food has only 170kcal. Even the Zomato listing lied as well.

Everyone lied. They lied to serve you tasty food, out of love or out of business. They were not wrong. That’s why you gained weight “unknowingly”.

You are your own responsibility. It is your responsibility to go to the kitchen and check how much ghee oil is being used or avoid those food items.
