Is it just me or is everyone fed up with Navjot Singh Sidhu’s commentary? He just says anything these days, no substance at all. Bet the other commentators are getting tired of it too! @BCCI please don’t hire him again for commentary. #Cricket#Sidhu
@warikoo Hi @warikoo, thank you for your kind gesture. I want to start developing a habit of reading and it could be the reason by which i will start reading. I don’t have any sentimental story to share but if it coming from you, it means a lot to me as for all as well. So would love to t
You Negotiate Every Day – Even If You Don’t Realize It
Here’s a thought: Everyone is in negotiation.
Every time you convince your colleague to back your idea, that’s negotiation.
Every time you ask for a deadline extension, that’s negotiation.
I once worked with a client who loved our service but was hesitant about the pricing.
Instead of pushing for a yes, I focused on what mattered most to them—ROI. We restructured the offering to match their priorities, and that flexibility turned into a lasting partnership.
Negotiation isn’t about winning at someone else’s expense. It’s about understanding, adapting, and finding solutions that work for both sides.
So, if you think negotiation isn’t your skill—think again.
If your income is 1 Crore, you will roughly pay 40%+ tax in India.
(Plus indirect taxes)
Next year ---let's say-- you lose your job.
And your income goes to 0.
You will get 0 benefits.
Let me clarify the context:
- You won't send your kids to government schools.
- You won't avail treatment in a public hospital.
- You won't avail free ration.
Therefore there is no (REAL) safety net for people paying taxes in India.
This puts a lot of stress, pressure & a feeling of injustice.
That share your upside.
But, no one will give a shit about your downside.
And, this is what is precisely wrong with our taxation.

With 1 Crore income in India:
You could buy:
- A great car.
- A great house.
- Great healthcare/education for kids.
- May be 5 foreign trips a year.
- Premium/Business class flights.
With 10-15 Lakhs income in India:
You could buy:
- A decent car.
- A decent house.
- A decent education/healthcare for kids.
- May be 1 foreign trip every 2 years.
- Economy flights.
Point is: At both these income levels, you would be in top 2% earners in India. And, should not have to worry about things that most Indians worry about.
The magic is: that if you hardworking & sincere, you will get to this level.
Therefore:
If you are in the top 2% earner, worry about other things than money.
If you are not, then work hard to get there (you will get there!)
The "money comparisons" only hurt our mental well-being.
