Walking twice a day.
Decoding something takes up a room. As you spend a lot of time there, don't let that room stink.

Excited to share that a snippet of "Biccha Du" from our upcoming song is live on Instagram!

We're still putting the final touches on the full release, but we couldn't wait to give you a first listen.
We'd love your honest thoughts and if the vibe connects with you, dropping a like and a comment would mean the world to us.

This is just the first of many releases coming your way. See you guys in the comments!

Hope you're keeping up: Day 16

Staring at a complex layout for three hours left my brain fried and unable to spot a coordinate error.
Instead of forcing it, I took a ten minute walk on the balcony.
Stepping away from the screen cleared the fog instantly, and the moment I sat back down, the mistake jumped out in thirty seconds. That quick lap saved an entire evening of wasted effort.

Recommendation:
Screen Break: Leaving devices behind lets your eyes and mind reset.

Hope you're keeping up: Day 15

Variable income meant my savings were never consistent, but instead of quitting because I couldn't hit a fixed goal, I logged whatever was left on the final day of each month, even if it was just five hundred rupees.
That unglamorous habit paid off when my laptop died during a busy workweek. The fluctuating balance had quietly grown into a real emergency fund, letting me buy a replacement that same afternoon with cash and zero debt.

Recommendations:
—Zero floor logging: Recording any leftover sum without guilt kills the all or nothing mindset.
—Month end rhythm: A quick check on the final day keeps tracking simple.
—Progress visibility: Watching the total climb over time reinforces patience over perfection.

@EbiThinks What if the person's talent is to adapt to the unknown?

Hi, I'm an Equity research analyst and here is how my day looks like..
I begin by reading a company's latest results and comparing revenue, margins, profit and guidance with my estimates.
I trace what caused the biggest differences, update the financial model and listen for changes in management commentary.
Through the day, I compare the numbers with peers and revise my assumptions. I finish by summarising what changed, how it affects valuation and which questions still need answers.

[Note: Hope you enjoyed this glimpse into a day in the life series.]

Hi, I'm a Biochemical Engineer in an bioprocess plant and here is what my day looks like..
I begin by reviewing how a biological production process performed in the last fermentation run, looking at biomass yield, dissolved oxygen curves, pH stability, reaction time, and nutrient feed rates.
Working across two active pilot-scale bioreactors this week, I focus on stabilizing cell growth density unless a sudden contamination flag triggers an immediate batch shutdown.
From there, I compare the live sensor outputs with expected benchmark ranges and trace exactly where efficiency dropped during the stationary phase.

Around lunch, I sit down with what was packed from home today, two multi grain rotis, a portion of dry baingan bharta, a side of boiled green moong sprouts tossed with lemon juice. It’s an easy, grounded meal that digests cleanly.

Through the day, I recalibrate feed pump dosing rates, adjust temperature jacket settings, and supervise small sampling runs to confirm cell viability under the new parameters.
I finish my notes by logging process condition shifts, recording the final harvest titer yields, and preparing the parameter checklist for the night shift operators before the next batch cycle begins.

@swarnimodi Faith makes you stronger. Feelings are temporary and can lead you astray. With a rise in responsibilities, you are naturally driven toward peace.

[Ishaan Emmanuel @emmanuel_i26]

Well.. there are three types of people, those who invest for long-term capital gains, those who build a corpus through recurring income, and those who splurge on discretionary expenses and lock themselves into installment plans.

Are you saying there's a fourth category that is a mix of all three?

[Ishaan Emmanuel @emmanuel_i26]

@vovudebosh Can this also work in D2C without any promotional campaigns?

@Arpitaydamm Kevin Hart!

@CharuMitraDubey Resilient systems leads to Rigorous startups! What are you building?

[Ishaan Emmanuel @emmanuel_i26]

@whizkidd He's determined. Whatever happens, you gotta keep rollin!

@patrick_kuhnke_ Ah.. we just have to say it then!

Hope you're keeping up: Day 14

My browser bookmarks used to be an overflowing digital junk drawer, until I had to research local air quality solutions and home filtration options after my (radish)loving nephew stayed over for a few days.
Instead of starting from scratch and searching through paid search ads, I finally dug into that backlog during a Saturday afternoon with a cup of tea.
Over six months, I had casually saved technical breakdowns on HEPA filter grades, clean room CADR ratings, and DIY sensor setups. Reading through just five of those saved pieces gave me the exact technical specs I needed.
I picked out the right purifier and replacement filters in one sitting, saving money by avoiding overpriced brand hype.

Recommendations:
—Centralized Pocketing: Sending links to a single reading list app immediately keeps browser windows tidy and free of endless open tabs.
—Weekend Catch-Up Slots: Reserving thirty minutes on Saturday mornings provides relaxed space to work through the queue.
—Aggressive Pruning: Deleting articles after scanning the first three paragraphs if they lack practical value keeps the library relevant.

@shreyacasmalert Most people lay the groundwork during their 9-5, but they only make the full time leap once real clarity strikes. We will move towards a purely capitalist mindset as AI and automation are embraced.

Hope you're keeping up: Day 17

Hi, I'm a Financial Consultant in a corporate advisory firm and here is what my day looks like..
I start by studying how the client business is currently funded through equity, debt, or internal cash proceeds.
Across a typical week, I manage financial modelling deliverables for two client accounts, aiming to lock down their baseline burn rate unless a sudden funding term sheet requires a rush sensitivity analysis.
From there, I review borrowing costs, repayment obligations, ownership dilution caps, and upcoming capital expenditure needs.

Around lunch, I eat what was brought from home today, two whole wheat chapattis, a dry portion of bhindi sabzi, a small cup of spiced curd, and a sliced cucumber. It's an uncomplicated, clean lunch that leaves you refreshed.

Through the day, I build and test multiple funding combinations in our cash flow model, stress-testing repayment schedules against conservative revenue scenarios to gauge financial risk.
I finish my notes by outlining the most practical funding structures, summarizing the dilution trade offs, and logging the key diligence queries that need to be resolved with the founders.

@shydev69 First Delhi NCR, then BLR!

[Ishaan Emmanuel @emmanuel_i26]

@mayuri_3015 Which is why there are seed stage investments too!

[Ishaan Emmanuel @emmanuel_i26]

@mayuri_3015 Raising money can multiply your capital if allocated wisely. As not all revenue generating startups end up profitable.

[Ishaan Emmanuel @emmanuel_i26]

@DeyRitoja I'm curious too!

[Ishaan Emmanuel @emmanuel_i26]

@khushiirl Generating employment is a much riskier bet than getting employed. As a founder, your runway might run out long before a job seeker even sits through their twentieth interview.

[Ishaan Emmanuel @emmanuel_i26]

@herecomsthesan The same happened with Trump, except that someone was Canada!
