Major cheat code for life: Finishing things. The world is full of half-written books, half-built businesses, and half-kept promises. You stand out by closing loops. By showing up. By doing what you said you’d do. Anyone can start, but few have the courage to finish.
How Did Sanskrit Become a ‘Dead’ Language?
#longthread
(This truth will hurt. But you must know it.)
You know what’s strange?
The language that gave birth to Vedas, Upanishads, Mahabharat, Ramayan, Ayurveda, Yoga, Astronomy, Mathematics, Philosophy, Mantras, and even the soul of Bharat… is today treated like a museum piece.
Once spoken by rishis, kings, and scientists… now reduced to rituals, exam syllabuses, and temple echoes.
Sanskrit. Dead language. That’s what we are told.
But stop for a second.
Ask yourself - How did this happen?
How can a language so divine, so scientific, so rich - just disappear?
The answer is not simple. But it is shocking.
Let me tell you, point by point.
An underrated life lesson: Tolerance for uncertainty is the most valuable human trait. The greatest rewards in life go to those who can show up every single day even when the rewards are uncertain. The one who can tolerate the most uncertainty is the one who will eventually win.

State Government Approves Pune Metro’s Extensions: Vanaz to Chandni Chowk and Ramwadi to Wagholi
Pune: Pune Metro's Vanaz to Ramwadi stretch has received approval from the state government for extensions at both ends: Vanaz to Chandani Chowk and Ramwadi to Wagholi. #punemetro has prepared a Detailed Project Report (#DPR) for these extensions, which was initially submitted to the Pune Municipal Corporation for approval and later forwarded to the state government for further approval.
On March 11th, 2024, the state government granted approval for both sections. The Vanaz to Chandni Chowk extension spans 1.12 KM, all elevated, and has two stations: Kothrud Bus Depot Station and Chandani Chowk Station. The Ramwadi to Wagholi stretch, entirely elevated and spanning 11.36 km, will accommodate 11 stations: Viman Nagar Station, Somnath Nagar Station, Kharadi Bypass Station, Tulaja Bhavani Station, Ubale Nagar Station, Upper Kharadi Road Station, Wagheshwar Temple Station, Wagholi Station, Siddharth Nagar Station, Bakori Phata Station, and Vitthalwadi Station.
Together, these extensions cover a total of 12.75 km, all elevated, and comprise 13 stations. The estimated cost for this section is 3756.58 crores.
On this occasion, the Managing Director of #MahaMetro said, "This is a natural extension for the Vanaz to Ramwadi line, which has been approved by the #GovernmentOfMaharashtra. This approval will expedite the implementation of these lines, providing significant benefits to the residents along Nagar Road.
Moreover, it will enhance accessibility for IT companies, financial institutions, schools, and colleges situated along the Ramwadi to Wagholi stretch, thereby alleviating congestion on the crowded Nagar Road. Similarly, the Vanaz to Chandni Chowk extension will help the residents and offices in the area.

The desire to be right is a worthwhile pursuit, but it must be balanced by an understanding that you have limits, and that being wrong is an eventuality. Ideally, you're intensely driven to be right, while accepting when you're wrong, learning from it, and adjusting. Given that you're here, my bet is that you know, logically, you should have that balanced perspective, but you're instead driven by a desire that you can't control.
