The future is here. Still gathering the words to describe what I experienced.
It has to be an absolute modern engineering marvel.

Caller: “My wife and I are both physicians in our 30s. We’re about $700,000 in debt, finishing fellowship, and about to start jobs that will pay roughly $900,000 a year combined.”
“We’ve spent 14 years training. After a year of saving and paying down loans, are we finally allowed to start living our life and buy a house?”
Dave Ramsey: “When do you start the new jobs?”
Caller: “Next month.”
Dave Ramsey: “So you’re about to make almost a million dollars a year.”
“You know how to delay pleasure. You’ve spent your entire life working and sacrificing for a future payoff.”
“I’m asking you to use that muscle one more time.”
“Live like you’re still in fellowship for one more year.”
“Clear the $700,000 debt before you buy the house, before you buy the cars, before you start celebrating.”
“You can make a million dollars a year with no payments and no debt. Finish cleaning up the mess, then go enjoy the life you worked for.”
Government engineers, babus and inspection officers in India are even bigger terrorists than Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed. These people kill more innocent people every year than they do.
1989 में दूरदर्शन पर ‘इसी बहाने’ नामक एक सस्पेंस सीरियल प्रसारित होता था। इसमें प्रमुख भूमिकाओं में किरण खेर, सईद जाफ़री, सुष्मिता मुखर्जी और लिलिपुट जैसे कलाकार थे। यह सीरियल काफ़ी लोकप्रिय रहा था।
आइए, इसी सीरियल की एक ख़ूबसूरत ग़ज़ल, ‘हम हैं कुछ अपने लिए, कुछ हैं ज़माने के लिए’ सुनते हैं। इसे चित्रा सिंह ने अपनी आवाज़ दी है जबकि बोल निदा फ़ाज़ली के हैं।
Everyone is completely right to hate Gautam Adani. He is a terrible entrepreneur.
Instead of doing real business like importing ₹50 plastic electronics from China, slapping a minimalist logo on them and burning $50M in VC money to build a revolutionary D2C brand he is just wasting time.
Look at his utterly boring businesses:
• Building massive deep water ports that actually handle global trade.
• Constructing the world's largest renewable energy parks in the middle of a barren desert.
• Taking on brutal, high risk, decades long infrastructure projects that actually require guts and physical execution.
Nobody else in the private sector has the guts to build such heavy infrastructure businesses. If there is anyone in India who can make India a superpower, it is none other than Mr. Gautam Adani.
But how dare he build the physical backbone of an economy?
He has absolutely no vision. If he really wanted to help the economy, he would launch a podcast and sell a cohort based course on productivity.
