@zeneraalstuff When my Guru asked me to chant Vishnu sahasranama I woke up at 4 and recited it 11 times for both Pratahvandana and Sandhyavandana for 4 years every day without fail. During that course I overcame my Liver Cancer, got married, and now own a multi-million entity.

A few months ago, I started getting into watches.
At first, I was purely being strategic about my capital. My only real investments sit inside my hedge fund, I had excess cash I wanted out of and into something physical. Luxury watches caught my attention because the market had been completely obliterated off the 2022 highs. It looked washed out. It looked like it was stabilizing a bit.
What hit me immediately were the inefficiencies that existed in that market.
As a derivatives trader, I appreciate and salivate at true arbs. In watches, the arbs were glaringly obvious. Certain models were trading at steep discounts in one geographical location and materially higher in another. You could literally buy inventory in one region and flip it elsewhere for a clean spread. Even more fascinating was how transparent forced selling was. In listed markets, distress can hide behind execution tactics and auction mechanics. In luxury watches, a divorce, a margin call, or a dealer choking on inventory shows up fast. Full set, 25% under market, cash needed now. It’s raw supply and demand with very little disguise.
Beyond the trading parallels, I started to appreciate the engineering.
The mainspring.
The gear train.
The escapement.
The oscillator.
Hundreds of microscopic components, precisely interacting to regulate one of the most fundamental variables in physics, time. What struck me is that you can rearrange and re-engineer these components in countless ways add hundreds of more complications and still arrive at the same simple output. Different architectures to meet the same function. It felt oddly familiar.
Then there’s the history.
An industry now worth tens of billions began with farmers in the Jura mountains filling idle winters. The établissage system emerged from necessity. Precision timekeeping later became essential for maritime navigation, enabling accurate longitude calculation and helping power major expeditions. Insane stuff when you look into the importance of horology back then.
So far I’ve accumulated pieces from Mille, Muller, Rolex, Audemar, and Patek. I’m excited to venture into the independent space (Philippe Dufour) etc.
I’m no watch expert, just a derivatives trader who happened to wander into watches and was surprised by how familiar the terrain felt.
If the law is against you, argue the facts.
If the facts are against you, argue the law.
If both the facts and the law are against you, argue procedure.
If procedure, law, and facts are all against you — settle.
A reminder that good advocacy is about strategy, not noise.
Most of our lives are quietly spent chasing external validation, approval from strangers, institutions, audiences, and abstractions, because it feels measurable, visible, and rewarding.
In contrast, the people closest to us, parents, partners, children, friends, offer no scoreboard. Their presence becomes familiar, predictable, and therefore dangerously easy to take for granted. We assume time is abundant, affection is permanent, and opportunities to show care will always return.
So we postpone effort at home while exhausting ourselves proving worth elsewhere. Only when someone leaves, through distance, silence, or death, does the illusion break. Then the imbalance becomes painfully clear: how much energy we spent being admired, and how little we invested in being present, and that regret doesn't leave you after that.

Across Bharat, some temples are not just places of worship - they are centuries-old healing systems rooted in faith, herbs, rituals & discipline.
Here’s a powerful thread 👇
Success Mantra for you:
It is commonly chanted for victory in tasks and to remove immediate hurdles.
Mantra:
"Om Sudarshan Chakray Mam Sarv Karya Vijayam Dehi Dehi Om Phat".
Meaning: "O Sudarshana Chakra, grant me victory in all my endeavours."
I have seen isht bhagwan changing even the biggest of pararabdh of a person when they call them with love after utmost surrender.
It is surreal what all your isht can do for you. But condition is calling him/her with love and utmost surrender.
