Best life- living in India in an independent home owning a company based out of cayman island running factories in China selling products to customers in Europe and USA.
At the end, you will die empty
They remember your impact.
Create more than you consume
Teach more than you take
Help more than you’re asked
Leave the world richer than you found it
Write, Create, Build, Give, Grow ✍🏾
As per the Telugu calendar, today marks 8 years since my father left us.
I always say time heals, but I've realized it simply teaches us how to live with the absence. The longing never really leaves. Eight years have passed, yet not a single day has gone by without thinking of him. People
Everything we (me and my brother) are today, values, resilience, family bonding, work ethic, and whatever little I have achieved is because of him. He laid the foundation for my life, making sacrifices we only truly understood years later. I only wish he were here to see this journey.
Life has moved forward with its share of highs and lows, milestones and challenges. Yet every achievement carries the same thought: I wish Dad was here. Some memories bring a smile, while others remind me how much I still miss his presence, his guidance, and his quiet strength.
Losing a parent isn't something you ever get over. You simply learn to carry their love, values, and memories with you every single day.
I miss you every single day, Dad. Everything I am today is because of you. I hope I'm making you proud, and I hope I can be even half the father to my children that you were to me. ❤️
Tumhara raasta aisa hona chahiye jisme thoda bhay bhi ho, aur poora josh bhi. Agar bhay na ho, toh samjho kuch naya nahi kar rahe ho, aur agar josh na ho, toh samjho tumhara dil uss raaste pe nahi hai.
Give yourself more credit.
You’re paying EMIs while building a future.
You think twice before buying something for yourself.
You’re trying to give your family a better life than the one you had.
You’re worrying about tomorrow while showing a smile today.
You are carrying more than people can see.
And you’re doing better than you think.
Greatest return on money spent 📌🙏
One thing I’ve noticed after traveling to 14 countries… ✍🏾
Travel doesn’t just show you new places.
It changes the way you see people.
You realize there isn’t just one “right” way to live. In some countries, strangers smile at you. In others, they avoid eye contact out of respect.
Some eat with chopsticks, some with forks.
and some with their hands.
Some are extremely punctual, some are relaxed about time.
Some value individual freedom, others value family above everything else.
The more you travel, the less you judge.
You stop comparing every culture with your own. Instead, you become curious about why people do things differently.
I’ve come back from every trip with more questions than answers.
Travel doesn’t just expand your passport.
It expands your perspective. And I think that’s one of the greatest returns on money spent.
Quiet wealth looks like:
- No EMIs.
- Investments running on autopilot every month.
- Bills paid on time without reminders.
- Credit cards used like debit cards.
- An emergency fund you rarely think about.
- Saying “no” to unnecessary upgrades.
- Sleeping peacefully without money anxiety
- Buying things because you can afford them, not because you can finance them.
- Having the freedom to walk away from a bad job or a toxic situation.
Wealth that grows silently while you focus on living your life.
It’s not about looking rich.
It’s about needing less, owing less, and worrying less.
Picture yourself in July 2036. Where are you? Who are you with? What does your day look like?
Now ask: are today’s choices moving you toward that person, or away?
An intentional life is built by looking back and then acting forward. The past is a map.
I did not give my sons enough time when they were small. So now I make sure they want to stay with me. I smoked for years. So now I watch every habit before it takes hold. I stayed away from my parents. So now I hug them every morning. I avoided people. So now I look for every reason to show up.
Regret, when you face it, becomes instruction.
Saving money is rarely someone’s first choice
Most people who save every rupee today once knew what it felt like to have no money when they needed it the most
Their greatest teacher wasn’t a finance book… it was a difficult phase of life
Love to everyone going through it ❤️
The most dangerous phase of your career happens right after you achieve basic financial comfort. When you are no longer desperate, your hunger vanishes, and complacency takes over. Most people get trapped in a moderate lifestyle because it is safe enough to stop fighting.

No IIT. No IIM.
His CV wouldn't have made it past the Indian corporate HR system :)
The West bets on builders, while Indian corporates still rely on IIT/IIM badges.
The reason Gen Z spends comfortably on small luxuries like high-end coffee is that long-term milestones like buying a home feel entirely out of reach in this economy. So they prioritise immediate quality of life over distant financial milestones.
In your mid-50 to mid 60s, you actually have:
-Peak earning power
-Peak wisdom
-20–25 year runway
-And finally… clarity about what matters
That combination is powerful.
Don't kill this golden window with poor health due to bad lifestyle
@parcelforce@ParceIforceHelp Hi Team, can you please update on the tracking number BT004751098GB. We need this item today and wanted to know any way it can be delivered to us at our Birmingham location.
The more I travel, the more I realise every country sells a fantasy from the outside.
The West sells order, efficiency, privacy, personal space. And for a while, especially when you first begin travelling, it feels intoxicating. You start believing geography is the missing piece of happiness.
Then somewhere around day 10, the gloss wears off.
The streets are cleaner, yes. The systems work better, yes. But life can also feel strangely distant. Predictable. Quiet in a way that slowly starts feeling lonely instead of peaceful.
India, on the other hand, is overstimulating to the point of absurdity. We complain about the traffic, the noise, the chaos, the pollution, and often rightfully so. But underneath all of that is a kind of emotional density that is hard to replicate anywhere else in the world.
Nothing here is subtle. Not the love, not the interference, not the ambition, not the drama, not the joy.
I used to think I wanted to leave India permanently.
Now I think I just wanted access to the world. There’s a difference.
Picture yourself in May 2036. Where are you? Who are you with? What does your day look like? An intentional life is built by looking back and then acting forward. Regret, when you face it, becomes instruction. I regret not giving time to my sons when they were small. I now take necessary steps that they stay with me forever. I regret having smoked. I now make sure I don’t fall for any addiction. I pulled away from my parents. So now I hug them every morning. I regret avoiding people. Now I make sure to find opportunities to meet them. You look at the rearview mirror not to stare at the past, but to steer your vehicle today. And when the road ahead is shorter than the road behind, there is always an urgency.
Sunday evenings hit different when you’re in your 30s.
There’s this quiet moment usually around 5-6 PM where you sit with your chai and something just asks:
- Is this the life I wanted?
- Am I moving fast enough?
- Am I present enough?
- When did the week go?
- What’s the plan for next week?
It’s not depression. It’s not anxiety.
It’s just life, tapping you on the shoulder.
The ones who listen to that tap and actually change something are the ones who look back at 50 and feel okay about it all.
Happy Sunday. Listen to the tap. 🙏
Timing and Routines
- Keep a regular schedule: Go to bed and wake up at the same times. Your body learns when to release calming hormones.
-Go to bed before midnight: This aligns your rest with natural light cycles.
-Set a bedtime alarm: If you must wake at 6 AM and want 7 hours of sleep, start your routine at 10:30 PM.
