To my 25-35 year olds, this is the age bracket where most people start to settle and give up on themselves. They plateau, they slow down, they become highly skeptical, they think it’s too late to pursue a goal. Never let their mindset infect yours. You can do anything at any age if you want.
@readswithravi The fact that someone who lived centuries ago already put words to exactly what most people are feeling right now is one of the more quietly comforting things about being human. You are never as alone in your experience as it feels in the moment
Game theory explains why working harder inside a broken system is the worst response to that system. Because a system is never truly broken. It's just producing exactly the outcomes its own incentive structures were designed to produce, whether intentional or not. Working harder inside this system increases your output in the payoff matrix, but it simply won't change the actual structure of the system's matrix. Thus, the correct response is not more effort. Instead, you must aim to identify whose interests the current structure serves and position yourself in favor of those interests rather than against them. Change the game, or play the game that is actually being played. Either way, you must stop optimizing for the game you wish it to be and start acting realistically.
Indian Economy is now a race to the bottom.
1) To win election you need to give freebies
2) To give freebies you need to divert capital from long-term plans. And, tax people more.
3) No long-term planning= poor growth.
Poor growth = increases the need for freebies.
We are basically in a death loop.

With Shri Roshy Augustine, Hon’ble Minister for Water Resources, Kerala.
Scarcity dictates what’s meaningful.
ㅤ
When you are alone, a relationship feels meaningful. When you’re in a relationship, time to yourself feels meaningful.
ㅤ
When you are overworked, time off feels meaningful. When you have plenty of downtime, work feels meaningful.

The scarcity never gets solved, it simply changes form.
His name was Manjunath Shanmugam.
He was an IIM Lucknow graduate.
He got a job with Indian Oil Corporation as a sales officer.
His territory was Uttar Pradesh.
He found that petrol pump dealers were adulterating fuel and cheating customers.
He reported it. He sealed the pumps.
On November 19 2005 a petrol pump owner shot him dead outside his office.
He was 27 years old.
The killers were convicted. Sentenced to life imprisonment.
His parents did not get compensation for 15 years.
His college created the Manjunath Shanmugam Trust in his name to fight corruption.
Some men die because they refused to look the other way.
India forgets them too quickly.
Honored to be part of the election campaign inauguration at Ollur Constituency with Adv. K. Rajan, Minister for Revenue, Land & Housing, Kerala. A great start for Ollur.
