Riddle for you, @Zomato 👀
One of us just turned 18.
The other turned X today.
One delivers food.
The other delivers maths. 😄
Can you guess the value of X, if it's exactly 2× your age? 🎂
Happy 18th Birthday! ❤️
You must read. Read nonfiction. Read fiction. Read history. Read philosophy. Read psychology. Read banned literature. Read poetry. Read about new technology. Read biography. Read memoir. Read on economics. Read on finance. Reread what you have already read. Read. Reflect. Repeat.
My grandfather told me this: "You’ll achieve much more by being consistently reliable than by being occasionally extraordinary." You can get pretty damn far in life by just being someone that people can count on to show up and do the work. I'll never forget that.
i'm in love with this quote:
"if you're persistent, you'll get it. if you're consistent, you'll keep it. and if you're grateful, you'll attract more of it."
A reminder from The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson:
“Happiness comes from solving problems. The keyword here is "solving." If you're avoiding your problems or feel like you don't have any problems, then you're going to make yourself miserable. If you feel like you have problems that you can't solve, you will likewise make yourself miserable. The secret sauce is in the solving of the problems, not in not having problems in the first place. To be happy we need something to solve. Happiness is therefore a form of action; it's an activity.”
A reminder from Atomic Habits by James Clear:
“New goals don't deliver new results. New lifestyles do. And a lifestyle is a process, not an outcome. For this reason, all of your energy should go into building better habits, not chasing better results.”
A reminder from The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel:
“The highest form of wealth is the ability to wake up every morning and say, ‘I can do whatever I want today.’ People want to become wealthier to make them happier. Happiness is a complicated subject because everyone’s different. But if there’s a common denominator in happiness—a universal fuel of joy—it’s that people want to control their lives. The ability to do what you want, when you want, with who you want, for as long as you want, is priceless. It is the highest dividend money pays.
Use money to gain control over your time, because not having control of your time is such a powerful and universal drag on happiness. The ability to do what you want, when you want, with who you want, for as long as you want to, pays the highest dividend that exists in finance.”
🚨 The preparation behind JEE Advanced AIR 1 holder Shubham.
Shubham didn't follow extreme study schedules. He slept at 10:30 pm, woke up at 6:30 am, ate simple meals, avoided social media, and focused on consistency.
He even avoided becoming dependent on air conditioning so that exam-day conditions would never affect his performance.
But his life wasn't all about studies. Every evening, he played badminton with his friend Kabeer Chhillar in their Kota hostel.
The result? Shubham secured AIR 1 with 320/360, while Kabeer secured AIR 2 with 319/360, just one mark apart.
AIR 1 and AIR 2 stayed in same hostel.
A reminder that discipline, balance, and consistency often beat extremes.
When you start making good money, save it. Especially in the beginning. Save as much as you can. You'll desire things. New car, new watch, designer clothes to show the world you made it. And dumb philosophies will try to justify it. YOLO, life is short. Don't pay attention. Don't change anything. Save for a few years. And one day you'll notice, the urgency is gone. The anxiety... gone. You go to a restaurant, and you stop looking at the right side of the menu. You plan a holiday and you don't wait 3 weeks for cheap flights. Someone made you an offer that doesn't feel right, and you say no without thinking twice. That's what happens when you overcome instant gratification. It will give you peace to move at your own pace. A little patience, that's all you need. And it will give you something that no material object can ever match: a calm nervous system.
“To be successful, you don't have to be special. You just have to be what most people aren't - consistent, determined and willing to work for it. No shortcuts."
— Tom Brady
This sentences by Tolstoy hits hard:
A man on a thousand-mile walk has to forget his ultimate goal and say to himself every morning, “Today I'm going to cover twenty-five miles and then rest up and sleep.”
🚨BREAKING: Anthropic just dropped free courses to master AI with certificates.
No tuition. No waitlist. No BS.
Here're 10 courses that will replace a $100K degree
🚨 SOMEONE JUST KILLED THE COACHING INDUSTRY
a developer spent 22,000 hours building a Personal AI Operating System on top of Claude Code
now anyone with a terminal can install it for FREE
it knows your goals, remembers every decision you've made, and prepares your morning briefing while you sleep
[ the numbers are insane ]:
- hours of dev work in it: 22,000
- sessions logged: 6,000
- time saved per day: 2-3 hours
- GitHub stars: 12,100
- skills built in: 45
- workflows wired up: 171
- safety hooks: 37
- cost to install: $0
[ the science is wild too ]:
no embeddings, no vector databases, no AI magic you can't read
every memory, decision, and context lives in plain markdown files
you read it with cat, search it with ripgrep, version it with git
4 memory types compound over time:
- work memory (active projects, open decisions)
- knowledge memory (domain expertise, research)
- people memory (contacts, companies, relationships)
- learning memory (patterns, mistakes, what works for YOU)
every complex task routes through a 7-step cycle:
OBSERVE → THINK → PLAN → BUILD → EXECUTE → VERIFY → LEARN
privacy is enforced by CODE, not prompts
a hook called ContainmentGuard physically blocks sensitive data from being written outside designated zones
[ the grift opportunity is even wilder ]:
freelancers are already charging $500-2,000 per personal AI setup for executives, founders, and busy operators
one person + one weekend = a consulting business that didn't exist 6 months ago
every AI productivity app you're paying $30/month for is replaceable by 4 hours of setup work and this one repo

Please, read books. Not just captions, or carousel posts, or what made it to the top of your feed. Read books. Long ones. Complex ones. You cannot build a mind with weight on the back of social media ephemerals. Intellectual depth demands patience.
