I've always loved "How I Met Your Mother."

So I'm kicking off a brand new series called "How I Met My Jodi!"

This is all about what we actually do at Jodi365—a bespoke, personalized matchmaking service for well-educated, accomplished Indian singles worldwide.

We tell our clients: Focus on your career, your family, your social life... and leave the heavy lifting to us.

We search, screen, curate, and bring you hand-picked matches after peeling back the layers.

We even go beyond our own database, because the best people are usually busy living their best lives and wouldn't be caught dead on a dating app or public matrimonial site.

Everything stays completely confidential. No browsing profiles. No photos or names displayed anywhere.

This new series is my way of putting the message out into the universe, for that fine single who's in a good place but wouldn't mind making room for someone special.

Stay tuned as I introduce one wonderful person after another, all anonymously, of course.

If this resonates with you, drop us a line.

I'll share how you can reach out discreetly for a complimentary confidential consultation with my team.

Save this if you're curious about the series.

Share it with that accomplished friend who's too busy—or too private—for apps.

For more real perspectives on love, relationships, and finding the right match, follow along.

Everyone says there are no jobs.

I run a factory.

My biggest problem is finding people who care.

Too many young employees say:

"That's not my job."

They don't ask questions or try to learn.

They do the bare minimum and wait to go home.

When I had a job, I looked for extra work.

That's how I learned and grew.

The few people who do learn fast leave for a small salary hike.

The people who stay, take ownership, and treat the business like their own are carrying the entire company.

Without them, we would struggle.

People ask me why manufacturing is hard in India.

This is why.

Skills can be taught.

Ownership can't.

It’s becoming a pattern: whatever the world embraces, celebrates, or makes part of its daily life, its Hinduness is promptly denied.

Yoga becomes ‘wellness.’

Transcendental Meditation becomes ‘mindfulness.’

Onam is reduced to a harvest festival,

Garba to a dance form.

Namaste is a trendy greeting,

Pranayama rebranded as breath work.

Ayurveda and Ayurvedic massage turned into spa treatments, and

Chakras taught as energy centres divorced from their roots.

They market the fruit but mock the tree, fearful to acknowledge its depth and wisdom.

In 1922, Western colonial cartels told P. Ayya Nadar that a drought-prone, uneducated village in South India could never compete with Europe’s advanced industrial manufacturing. Ayya Nadar responded by traveling across the country, collecting the secrets of mechanized match production & returning to build a cottage industry that broke the Swedish match monopoly forever.

This is the story of how a Tiny Spark built a Great Nation. In the early 1900s, India was 1 of the largest consumers of matches in the world, but every single strike of fire was controlled by foreign giants. A Swedish billionaire named Ivar Kreuger known globally as the "Match King" had established an absolute, suffocating monopoly over the global market.

Foreign-aligned giants like WIMCO flooded India with imported matches, making massive profits off the daily needs of ordinary Indians. The narrative was carefully maintained: Complex chemical formulations & high-precision splints require European machinery; the Indian villager is only meant to be a consumer.

While European corporate lords grew unimaginably wealthy, rural regions in India like Sivakasi were dying of drought & poverty. The land grew nothing & the people had no jobs. They were living on a literal powder keg of potential, but lived in absolute poverty.

P. Ayya Nadar had no foreign degree/massive inheritance, but he had a PhD in Survival. Seeing his hometown of Sivakasi starving due to failed monsoons, he refused to accept that destiny. He approached traditional elite financiers for loans to import Western matchmaking machinery. They laughed him out of the room. The narrative was that uneducated, rural Indians could not handle hazardous volatile chemicals like phosphorus & potassium chlorate, nor could they manage industrial balance sheets.

Ayya Nadar did not look for foreign machinery. He went to find the secret process himself. Ayya Nadar & his partner undertook a journey to Calcutta, where a few primitive, highly secretive match factories existed. To bypass corporate espionage guards, they worked in disguise as low-level laborers, observing the exact chemical ratios, drying times & wood-slicing techniques with laser-sharp focus.

He did not come back with heavy, imported machines; he came back to Sivakasi with a simple, handwritten blueprint for a decentralized, hand-made cottage industry. The Pitch to his drought-stricken townspeople was simple: "Give me your labor, not your money. We do not need automated European factories; we will build this with our own hands."

Poor villagers, who had lost all hope due to dried-up farms, dug into their meager savings & offered their sweat. They built simple wooden hand-frames & mixing tables because Ayya Nadar promised them they would no longer import their fire from Europe, they would manufacture it.

Against all odds, in the 1920s, the indigenous match factories of Sivakasi were born. To fight the massive marketing budget of the Swedish cartel, Ayya Nadar engineered a brilliant, highly localized weapon: Patriotic Branding.

He plastered images of Indian freedom fighters, local deities & national symbols onto the matchboxes. For the 1st time in history, the profits from a matchbox did not cross the Atlantic to line the pockets of a Swedish billionaire; they stayed entirely within the community. Striking a local matchbox became a daily act of defiance against colonial rule.

The dusty, barren outpost of Sivakasi completely transformed into a booming industrial powerhouse of fireworks, printing presses & safety matches, funded entirely by indigenous match money. Ayya Nadar’s decentralized model created the blueprint for India's cottage industry revolution.

This model of labor-intensive, localized manufacturing was so wildly successful that it forced the govt to place high excise duties on foreign mechanized matches to protect Indian hands. W/o Ayya Nadar's "Tiny Spark" victory, India’s massive home-grown printing & fireworks sectors would simply not exist.

Today, Sivakasi fulfills ~90% of India's fireworks & safety match demands, employing 100s of 1000s of rural families. P. Ayya Nadar proved that industrialization does not have to be Top-Down (from heavy Western machines to the poor); it can be Bottom-Up.

He showed that a community of determined human hands is vastly more powerful than a million-dollar automated factory from a European cartel. P. Ayya Nadar built a Backbone. He proved that a drought-stricken Indian villager could spark an industrial revolution that could burn down a global monopoly.

One thing we see in common with most not all upper middle class and HNI Offsprings - total dependency on parents , no personal achievement goals and just drifting along . There is some aim to join “dad’s business” but dad gets old and just lets business die . Big trouble !

[S. Anil Kumar @aktxt]

Most people aren't single because there's a shortage of partners.

They're single because staying single feels easier and safer.

The #1 reason?
Standards have become completely detached from reality!

People swipe through thousands of profiles, demanding someone attractive, intelligent, fit, emotionally available, successful...

While bringing average effort, average fitness, and average emotional availability in return.

The gap between what they want and what they offer keeps growing.

Dating apps make it worse. They create the illusion of infinite options, so why commit when someone "better" might be one swipe away?

This is classic paradox of choice. More options don't lead to better decisions. They lead to paralysis and constant dissatisfaction.

Add in the fear factor – messy divorces, past wounds, horror stories – and many people protect themselves by keeping everyone at arm's length.

They say they want connection, but their behavior says they want zero risk.

Falling in love requires vulnerability. When that feels dangerous, they settle for what I call "controlled loneliness."

And the uncomfortable truth most won't admit?

Many would rather stay alone than "settle"... even when their checklist was unrealistic from the start.

If you actually want a relationship, the path forward is not complicated. It's straightforward:

• Ditch the fantasy checklist.
• Lower your unrealistic standards.
• Raise your own effort.
• Get offline more.
• Stop treating every date like a job interview. Approach it as two people figuring out if you can build something real. Because the best relationships aren't found; they're built!

Save this if it hit home.

Share it with someone who needs this reality check.

The older I get, the more I realise:

The richest people aren't the ones with the most money.

They're the ones whose family still wants to be together.

This week, over 50 family members and their kids flew in from

Hong Kong, Dubai, Singapore, Africa, Canada, the USA

and beyond to celebrate my sister's 50th birthday in Bali.

Looking around the room, I wasn't thinking about business.

I was thinking about my Dada.

He brought the family together.

He helped everyone rise.

He built a family that still shows up for each other.

Years later, three generations still laugh together.

The cousins are becoming as close as we were.

Money can build a business.

But only values can build a family that stays together across generations.

If your children and grandchildren still choose to be together after you're gone...

You won.
