So the 5 steps I want my son to remember are:

Recognize → Understand → Prepare → Face → Overcome

Not every fear needs to be faced. Some need preparation. Some need distance.
And some need courage.

First understand the fear. Then decide what to do with it.

Recently my son was scared to go into his room at night because the lights were off.

My first reaction was pretty obvious:
“Go inside. Face your fear.”

You know the usual stuff.

“Darr ka saamna karo.”
“Darr ke aage jeet hai.”
But then I stopped myself.

5. Overcome

And finally, overcome it. Not necessarily by making the fear disappear.
Sometimes you overcome fear simply by realizing:
“Okay. I was scared, but I handled it.”

Next time, it has a little less control over you.

After using more than 10 banking apps, I must say the @ICICIBank app is the best. Simple, Clean, fast, and intuitive - exactly how a banking app should be.

What surprises me is that many other banks still can’t get this right even after years and multiple updates.

@interestinggaff Tried setting up this exact one-by-one system at a toll plaza bottleneck last week, but ego got in the way

Something happened at a toll plaza today that made me think.
Our lane suddenly got closed because of some technical issue, so the whole queue had to merge into the lane on the left. And obviously… chaos started. People started arguing about who was ahead of whom.

From classrooms to Google.
From Stack Overflow to Claude & ChatGPT.

@4TrustyR Releasing in a few days! Built it out as a web app—grabbed a domain for it. It keeps menu discovery clean while making ordering super easy.
Will share the link soon!

Working on a new side project.
Idea came from my society's WhatsApp group.
Home cooks post their daily menu there, but within minutes those messages get buried under maintenance updates, parking issues and random chats. People miss the menu, and cooks miss potential orders.👇

It just reminded me:
What you drive may tell people about your money. How you behave with others tells them a little more about you.
Sometimes, you can have a lot and still have very little class. And sometimes, a small gesture says enough.

The guy sitting in a ₹1+ crore Lexus was perfectly okay giving way to a stranger, while the guy in the Swift was fighting over a few seconds.
Of course, I’m not saying anything about Swift owner or Lexus owner.
