Everyone busy running but most don't know where they are heading. They running because others are running so fast, we should not be behind in this race. No time to pause and reflect.

Something I told 14 yo: People are going to stop reading books. I wish this wasn't so, but I fear it is. The silver lining in this cloud is that if you're one of the few people who still read, you'll have a huge advantage over everyone else.
Someone posted a strategy on X. I took a screenshot and gave it to claude. Asked it to setup a routine to run it for the Indian market
It created a data pull agent, strategy engine and report generator. I then deployed this as a routine connected my to g-drive
All of this took around 2 hrs (with zero coding)
This is just a preview of things to come. I am already converting my investment process into skills and routines. As it gets refined, i will consolidate it into agents which can round the clock
For example: Scan routine, focus list generation skill, Risk reward/Valuation agent, Management analysis skill, Forensic analysis skill and so on. In other words, distillation of my skills into agents
My job is changing to document and refine these skills/agents and oversee their output. I am automating the repetitive parts of my work and spending more time on judgement and decision making
Evidence-Based Facts about SLEEP Everyone Should Know
Misconceptions about sleep are common. In this thread, I discuss evidence-based facts about sleep. Bookmark for future reference and repost for wider reach.
1/12
How much sleep do adults need?
✅Most adults need 7–9 hours of sleep per night.
🔸Some function well with slightly less or more, but regularly sleeping <6 hours or >9–10 hours is associated with adverse health outcomes.
Scarcity of food was once humanity’s greatest killer.
(famine, starvation, stunted growth)
Today, abundance has become the silent killer epidemic.
In a land of plenty, discipline and wisdom about WHAT and WHEN to eat is the new survival skill.
Anil, one can build local RAG that can be your orchestration layer and build agents based on your business analysis framework. Let agents use LLM in backend to do the magic. This is long term solution. This can be scaled to N number of companies and you have more gradual control over analysis and data and context.
Double exponential will surprise you even if you expect it
The trend continues - we have autonomous coding agents and other tools which work with 90%+ ? accuracy. A step change occurred in December 2025
Ofcourse people laugh at the mistakes some of these tools make and take solace that these are just toys. They point to 5% of times these models make mistakes (which is still better than most humans). The same was true with driverless cars and then it crossed the threshold
Then there is the 'energy' or copper <insert your favorite commodity> shortage and don't recall that cobalt was supposed to slow down EV adoption by 2023.
When there is an incentive, humans are smart in solving constraints (with or without AI)
I think a lot of people are going to be shocked how good this technology will be in 2 years in all kinds of white collar work
Federer won 80% of his matches. What do you think his point win rate was? A small edge applied consistently can change everything.

This is going to revolutionize education 📚
Google just launched "Learn Your Way" that basically takes whatever boring chapter you're supposed to read and rebuilds it around stuff you actually give a damn about.
Like if you're into basketball and have to learn Newton's laws, suddenly all the examples are about dribbling and shooting. Art kid studying economics? Now it's all gallery auctions and art markets.
Here's what got me though. They didn't just find-and-replace examples like most "personalized" learning crap does. The AI actually generates different ways to consume the same information:
- Mind maps if you think visually
- Audio lessons with these weird simulated teacher conversations
- Timelines you can click around
- Quizzes that change based on what you're screwing up
They tested this on 60 high schoolers. Random assignment, proper study design. Kids using their system absolutely destroyed the regular textbook group on both immediate testing and when they came back three days later.
Every single one said it made them more confident.
The part that surprised me? They actually solved the accuracy problem. Most ed-tech either dumbs everything down to nothing or gets basic facts wrong.
These guys had real pedagogical experts evaluate every piece on like eight different measures.
Look, textbooks have sucked for centuries not because publishers are idiots, but because making personalized versions was basically impossible at scale. That just changed.
This isn't some K-12 thing either. Corporate training could work this way. Technical documentation. Professional development.
Imagine if every boring compliance course used examples from your actual job instead of generic office scenarios.
We might have just watched the industrial education model crack for the first time. About damn time.
There was time when I would refuse to read a book if I didn't have a pen/marker handy.
What if I found an amazing piece of insight or a brilliantly crafted sentence and I fail to capture it (by underlining)?
I have stopped doing that now. I don't want to hoard the good stuff in memory. I no longer worry about recalling the contents and articulating it.
That frees up a lot of mental bandwidth.
I know if I have paid attention while reading the book, it would have changed me at a deeper level. The change in world view is a slow process. Bayesian updates happen a few percentage points at a time.
There are so many hidden gem books on science, math, education, and more. It's a treasure trove. It was built by Arvind Gupta, a visionary who turned everyday trash into tools for joyful learning.

VFS Global is the perfect ex. of how extortionist a service industry can get when a co. is allowed to become an unchecked monopoly. Info asymmetry is high in a visa setting, customer is putty in their hands. Perfect conditions for fear based upselling of needless premium services
An interesting conversation with @rnbhaskar1 on a range of asset classes not just Indian equities. Hope you enjoy it!

Not being interested in a fancy lifestyle is a competitive advantage when it comes to mental health and happiness.
You don't need an expensive condo, expensive clothes, or expensive restaurants if your thing is to train your body, eat healthy, read stimulating books, work on your original ideas and stories, have relaxed time for deep conversations with family and friends, feel connected and at peace with who you are.
You won't be able to quiet your mind as long as you remain a slave to the many desires that were deeply transplanted into your mind by the rest of society.
Most people aren't angry, anxious, depressed, they are simply mindlessly chasing a vision that was fed to them, and that isn't aligned to their true core values.
You need to step back, see the bigger picture, do the internal work to unlearn what you don't need, that's when you will get a first experience of true wealth: mental freedom and peace of mind.
