Major cheat code for life: Always assume things will work out, then do the work to make it true. It’s a mindset of active optimism. Earned faith. It creates a quiet confidence that allows you to tolerate the uncertainty of life better than anything else.

People around the world may not know: India is opening an airport or terminal every 75 days. Some 80 airports have been built in the last 10 years, more than what India has built in the preceding 7 decades since independence. And the airports look like this.

The older I get, the more I realize that one of the most attractive traits is genuine enthusiasm. It's energizing to spend time around people who show real excitement for life. For people, ideas, and tiny moments. It takes courage to care so openly. Enthusiasm is contagious.

Major cheat code for life: Become difficult to rush. The world will pressure you to rush into everything. Rushed decisions. Rushed conversations. Rushed relationships. Rushed timelines. There's immense power in rejecting that trend. Slow down. Create space to think clearly.

The 1978 Ranga-Billa case involved the brutal kidnapping and murder of teenage siblings Geeta and Sanjay Chopra in Delhi by career criminals Kuljeet Singh (Ranga) and Jasbir Singh (Billa).

The horrific crime shocked the nation, leading to a massive manhunt and the swift conviction of both killers, who were ultimately hanged in 1982.

The investigation was led by Inspector VP Gupta of the Delhi Police, with SI Ram Chander serving on the team. A bystander, who had tried to save the children, and later helped the police identify the killers by providing their descriptions was Babulal. The journalist who covered the case was Prabha Dutt.

Amazon Prime's series Raakh, which is based on this incident, replaces Inspector VP Gupta with SI Jayprakash Jatav, explicitly portrayed as a Dalit officer navigating institutional bias. Furthermore, SI Ram Chander is replaced by SI Javed Murtaza, Babulal by Saleem, and Prabha Dutt by Nisar, while a lazy hawaldar character named Mishra has been added to the narrative.

This isn't creative liberty. Creative liberty is meant to enhance a story, not distort historical facts to fit a specific ideological agenda. Another stark reminder of how easily history can be rewritten in plain sight under the convenient guise of creative freedom.

Happiness isn’t having what you want. It’s wanting what you have.

Beware: learning more is a smart person’s favorite form of procrastination.

A better life starts with a better filter. Change who and what you allow into your world, and the peace will follow.

Major cheat code for life: Increase your recovery speed.

You will get rejected. You will lose money. You will embarrass yourself. The goal isn't to avoid the fall. It's to shorten the time between the fall and the reset.

The ultimate life hack is the ability to quickly reset and recover.

From a poor decision. From a bad interaction. From a missed workout. From a bad day. You can start over whenever you want. You can't always control what happened, but you can control how long you carry it.

Fast recovery compounds.

The market for telling people what they want to hear is much larger than the market for telling people what they need to hear. This fact explains a lot about the world.

If you do not direct your attention, it will be directed for you.

Accept this: You don't have to prove anything to anybody, ever. Including yourself.

We don't need to be left-wing to talk about the poor. We don't need to be right-wing to talk about nationalism. We aren't walking labels.

If you aren’t getting happier as you get older, you’re doing it wrong.

A sad day for India and Indian aviation. The pilot was known to be excellent at his craft. May his family find the strength to bear this loss. Nothing matters more than the loss of a life in service.

Tejas is among the safest fighter jets in the world, and aviation history everywhere shows that even the best platforms face occasional accidents.

The unfortunate part is the timing and location. An air expo is meant to inspire confidence among observers and prospective buyers. When an accident happens in that setting, it naturally complicates an already challenging global push for Tejas, not because the aircraft is unsafe, but because public perception is fragile.

People once trembled at lunar and solar eclipses. Kings staged sacrifices, crowds beat drums, all to fight shadows they couldn’t understand.

Death is our modern eclipse. We fear it, surrender to it, ritualize it.

Soon, as our knowledge advances, fearing death will seem as absurd as fearing the Moon’s shadow.

Live a disciplined life, spontaneously.

@CoyJandreau Thank you, Coy. I’m watching this on Friday with my wife. Hoping that the crowd elevates the experience.

[Karun Sethi @ThoughtsByKarun]

@eavoss @eavoss, this is a bold take. Makes me even more excited to watch it on the opening night. And yes, looking forward to both the @NewRockstars breakdown and the @BreakroomNR discussion. Can we please get @CoyJandreau as a guest on the panel? Thank you. 🙏🏻
