Your future is rarely shaped by one big decision. It is shaped by the small things you repeat every day. Every scroll, every page read, every workout skipped or completed determines the person you are becoming.
Unpopular opinion but travelling with a group is a pain. Travelling with one or two like minded people is ok. You cannot enjoy anything. You are exhausted accommodating stupidity of all kinds. Travelling solo is the best thing to do if you have budget
Get OUT of your room.
Go to a coffee shop. Rent somewhere for the weekend. Sit in a park. Walk through a part of the city you've never been to. Go anywhere that isn't the same four walls you've been staring at for months.
Same room = same thoughts.
The number of ideas that hit when you change location will make you wonder why you stayed stuck in one place for so long.
One of the most freeing realizations in life: You are not locked into your current identity. You can change your habits, your standards, your circle, your mindset, your career, your health, your entire direction. You're allowed to wake up one day and decide to become someone new.
I am always in favour of public transport, even in normal times
But, India is not a public travel friendly country. You might take the metro, but the road to reach the metro station is full of hawkers, dug up roads, political banners.
Mumbai is not a walkable city. Even though most people walk.
We have not invested enough to make public transport attractive in normal times for us to rely on it during difficult times.
The average person checks their phone 144 times a day, and each check costs the brain 23 minutes to refocus. Doing the math, most people are running at a fraction of their actual capacity and calling it normal.
I visited the iconic Bengaluru bookstore @bookworm_Kris this morning, days after its stock had been damaged by water seepage. I found its wonderful owner Krishna Gowda stoic and resolute. Good to see customers flocking in. I bought some books too.
Most people think Bounce died in COVID. We didn’t.
We pivoted to manufacturing our own electric scooters and renting them to India’s gig workers. 9K on the road today across Bangalore and Delhi-NCR. Going to 40K in under 18 months.
Here’s what we’re building.

The biggest skill you can develop is the ability to reset fast. Bad conversation? Move on. Bad day? Start fresh tomorrow. Missed workout? Hit it the next day. Poor decision? Learn and adjust. You can’t control what happens to you, but you control how long you let it affect you.
It only takes five minutes to break the cycle.
Five minutes of exercise and you are back on the path. Five minutes of writing and the manuscript is moving forward again. Five minutes of conversation and the relationship is restored.
It doesn't take much to feel good again.
