Exploring the world, one adventure at a time. Always learning, always wandering.

[Ankur Pandey 🇸🇬 @ankurxsg]

No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear. I am not afraid, but the sensation is like being afraid. The same fluttering in the stomach, the same restlessness, the yawning I keep on swallowing. The death of a beloved is an amputation.

Life's journey winds, a spiral grand,
Each turn reveals what we once thought we knew.
With open eyes and heart, we understand
That growth's not linear—it loops anew.

Farhanna Farid discovered her talent by accident, lifting 140kg effortlessly at the gym. Now a competitive powerlifter, she set a world record with a 209kg deadlift in the Women's 52kg class! Congratulations Farhanna! Thank you for blazing the trail, and flying our flag high!🏋🏻‍♀️🇸🇬

Today, I mark 25 years of experiments, failures and learnings at @amazon. I feel deeply grateful for the incredible opportunity to meaningfully impact lives and livelihoods at scale, globally. It has been a powerful lesson in customer obsession, invention, and long-term thinking. 25 years on, it feels the same, still Day 1!

Aging occurs when individuals start focusing on their past. This holds even more for groups, tribes, and nations.

[Minister for Defence Singapore @DefenceMinSG]

The Former Ford Factory along Upper Bukit Timah Road is worth a visit. It houses a permanent exhibition that includes the British surrendered to the Imperial Japanese Army. An apt reminder as we commemorate 40 years of Total Defence.

Celebrating my father in law Ashok Ruia's death anniversary. (He started what is today India's largest shopping mall company, he was one of India's best bridge players, and most importantly, he's inspired total devotion amongst his children!)
