the hardest part of building isn’t doing the work.

it’s the phase where you’re putting in the work and nothing seems to move.

no traction. no validation. people around you think you’re wasting your time.

there’s a weird inertia before momentum.

i think a lot of building is simply having the conviction to stay in the game long enough for reality to catch up.

any advice that promises to eliminate suffering is a scam

best advice teaches you how to carry it.

recent thought:

more knowledge doesn’t necessarily make us wiser.

knowledge gives us greater control over the world.

awareness frees us from the need to control it.

wisdom is born in that freedom.

One of the best boring businesses to start in Maharashtra right now: deep-cleaning services for restaurants. Massive demand.

The generation that mocked their parents for forming opinions on WhatsApp has started forming its own on Instagram.

Sometimes, you become what you hate.

At least on WhatsApp, you had to actually read the shit.

They did it for the love of the game. 😂

I know that stings.

It did when the thought first hit me.

So you’re telling me the Indian urban educated Gen Z, eager to overthrow the government over every issue,

With Che Guevara as their youth icon,

And the Cuban economy as their inspiration,

Is going to build AI models that outcompete

American SOTA models and Chinese open-source models,

So the next generation of jobs can be saved from being displaced from India to China or America?

My Lal Salaam to that vision.

The current protests succeeded. A minister resigned. All good.

My concern is what we internalize from this.

If removing governments or ministers through street protests becomes the accepted political norm, then what role do elections and constitutional processes play?

India is a constitutional democracy, not a street democracy.

The Constitution protects peaceful dissent under Article 19, not violence or coercion.

Rights exist alongside constitutional methods.

Look at Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Pakistan. Street power can remove governments, but it rarely builds stable institutions.

I’m all for democracy, free speech, accountability, and peaceful protest. But if every political dispute is ultimately settled by whoever can mobilize the biggest crowd, constitutional morality gives way to mob morality.

In a country as diverse and complex as India, that’s a dangerous precedent. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar warned us against replacing constitutional methods with the “Grammar of Anarchy”

[Ajay @buildwithajay]

The deepest failure of the current government isn’t simply bad governance.

It’s that it has learned to convert Hindu civilizational wounds into political capital.

Every civilization carries historical trauma. The mature response is to heal it by building stronger institutions, better education, impartial justice, and a society confident enough to move forward.

The easier response is to keep reopening the wound because a wounded society is easier to mobilize than a secure one.

That’s the politics we’ve drifted into.

This is why I don’t think the BJP is fundamentally pro-Hindu.

It is electorally dependent on Hindus.

Those are very different things.

A party that genuinely cared about Hindu civilization would focus less on cultivating grievance and more on creating the institutional conditions for its long-term flourishing.

A civilization is strengthened not by repeatedly reminding people of its wounds, but by building a society where those wounds no longer determine its politics.

[Ajay @buildwithajay]

The average 20-something Gen Z activist thinks India is a tyranny.

In the same “tyrant state” where young kids shout “melodi ke cht” and “modi mere lnd pe aake baith” on camera, then walk home. Free.

Read Mao. Read Stalin. Read Pol Pot.

Then tell me what tyranny actually is.

Indian civil society is just as undisciplined as the government is incompetent.

Most self-proclaimed revolutionaries are 20-something dopamine addicts whose political education has been outsourced to Instagram reels and algorithmic outrage.

They chant “kranti” without understanding the intellectual tradition, historical baggage, or human cost behind the word. It means replacing “democratic state” with “socialist system”

India doesn’t need another “kranti.”

It needs deep psycho-spiritual introspection.

[hiring @sundayrobotics] i'm looking for a strategic projects lead to join my team and build 0-to-1 with me :)

we're pushing to put robots in real homes, and the operational foundation behind that doesn't have a playbook. your job is to build it: take the ambiguous, ownerless problems and turn them into working systems, across data, ML, product, software, hardware, and our 1000+ memory developers.

there's no playbook here. you'd be writing it as you go.

if that excites you (or you know someone who'd be great), reach out or apply below 👇
