The goal isn't to think faster. It's to need less thinking.
Imagine I ask you: what's 2 + 2?
You don't think.
You just know.
Now imagine I ask: what's 478 × 63?
Now your brain has to work.
Automaticity is when a skill becomes like 2 + 2 instead of 478 × 63.
Your brain doesn't have to spend effort figuring it out anymore. It just does it.
That's important because your brain has limited mental bandwidth.
If all of it is being spent trying to remember or re-derive the basics, there's none left for solving the tough problem.
It's like trying to write a novel while you're still sounding out every word.
The better your fundamentals become, the less effort they require.
And the less effort they require, the more difficult problems you become capable of solving.
ORBIT ACHIEVED. 🚀
Vikram-1 Test Flight-1 has reached orbit. India's first privately developed orbital rocket has completed its final burn and injected its payloads into a ~450 km orbit, making India the third country in the world with private orbital launch capability.
History is made. 🇮🇳

we are overstimulated and we don’t even notice. netflix while eating. reels in the bathroom. music while cooking. podcasts on walks. we consume by default, not by intention. you keep filling every gap, then wonder why you feel foggy and unmotivated. boredom and silence are the real growth drivers. they give you space to think and create. that’s when solutions show up for problems that have been stuck for months. leave some room
I almost died at 18 because of my startup.
January 25th. I had been grinding non-stop, 14 to 16 hour days, every single day, building GenPPT. No breaks. No off-switch. Just caffeine, code, and pressure.
At some point, my body started sending warnings. A weird pressure on my chest. Sharp pain every time I tried to lie down. It felt like someone was stabbing me straight in the heart.
By midnight, I couldn’t breathe properly anymore. I got myself to the hospital. They had to roll me in with a wheelchair. I couldn’t even walk.
Heart rate? Through the roof. Blood pressure? Dangerous levels.
The doctors rushed tests. My family started panicking. My friends were checking in constantly. Even the girl I was talking to back then was scared for me.
Looking back, it made sense. The weeks before that had been some of the most stressful in GenPPT’s journey. Bugs, deadlines, and too much pressure. So I pushed harder. I thought that’s what I had to do.
But my body said no. And for a few hours, I genuinely thought that might be it.
Around 4 AM, the doctor walked in with the results.
“You’re healthy.”
No heart condition. No chronic illness. No hidden defect. Just stress. Burnout. My body screaming for a break I kept ignoring.
That night changed everything for me.
So here’s why I’m telling you this.
Don’t fall for the “grind 24/7” myth. You can build cool things without destroying yourself in the process.
You can have 99 problems, but if your health goes, suddenly you only have one.
Take care of yourself. Nothing is worth trading your life for.
Cheers.

Dear humanity,
I am building a religion.
Wait a second, I know what you’re going to say. Hold that knee-jerk reaction and let me explain.
First, here’s what’s going to happen:
+ Don’t Die becomes history's fastest-growing ideology.
+ It saves the human race.
+ And ushers in an existence more spectacular than we can imagine.
It is inevitable. The only question is: will you be an early or late adopter?
