Investment Thoughts

  • Sticks with high dividend
  • Stocks in Nifty 50 Safe bets
  • Stock across multiple domains
  • Software penny stocks/bets
  • Pharma / Electronics / Chemicals / Auto
  • Textiles / Petroleum

Need a consistent dividend, calculated growth. Be a contrarian. Keep growing in your own way!!!!

Interesting Perspective


Yea seems true

  • Kindness has no religion
  • Empathy does not need religion
  • Honesty does not need you to follow a religion
  • Equality does not need you to follow a religion
  • You need education, clarity and proper thinking to live life

Interview chaos

  • If you ask a maths teacher a puzzle he would answer with the constraint/formula
  • If you ask me about a business problem, I will explain data, process, challenges, and architecture
  • Ask questions that best suits the past experience. 

Even if you blog / be #technical on top of things, Still going back to #puzzles or questions on things not relevant to your day-to-day job seems a crazy way to connect assess technical #skills. coding skills are not remembering #writing #syntax #keepworking on big picture


Times person of year 2021

Successful in one industry vs Success in every industry

Strategy, Guts, Hardwork, Consistency, Vision = Elon


Manipulative Voices


Ever wonder the percentage of entertainment vs education content around us
Ever wonder the amount of perception/brand vs minimalism of life
Ever wonder the number of people with clarity vs go with crowd flow
Ever wonder why serials, unrealistic and stupid comedy shows vs True things in life
Ever wonder how you are being distracted to focus on wrong things in Life
Every wonder why drugs, movies, sex gets more attention than minimalism, companionship, being a true self
10 sources of bad vs one source of clarity
Filtering is more difficult as things consume us, we no longer control ourselves

Stay Alert to Stay Focused!

Art of not getting hurt

Everyone around you can disagree
Never take perspective as a matter of right/wrong
Pause your perspective if it hurts anyone
Sometimes silence is a better answer
Life is better lived in silence than communicate and fight over ignorant perspectives



Rethinking

Some nights are longer than days
Some days are longer than our months
Let me pause things that don't get me anywhere

Lonely Soul

Alright am I dreaming of the future or tired of my travel
Is this an endless journey to run for survival 
You earn enough that you don't have time to spend
Health is overridden by the pressure of commitments, work
Are we truly free souls?
Is this a worthy pursuit?
If not for me have a few more goals to teach/share/be of use in some other way?

Review 2021


No Travel mere few kilometers 5 to 10 kms drive
Average of 10 hours of work minimum
Every day runs around open items for next day, next week
More of Work from same room not even work from home
Tea was almost lunchtime food most days
Some days fried rice and late-night ginger tea
Single again for long time
Time goes, Life goes...
Emotions become silent at some point in time
Boomer uncle or Boomer adult :(
Crazy Life :(

Keep Going!!!


Minimalist Life

Live with minimal needs
Eat less than what you need
Think more, sleep more, talk less
Reading books is better than talking to people
Having a cup of tea alone is better than gossip discussions
Sometimes being alone gives more peace than in a group feeling disconnected

Live more, show less, talk less

Global vs Local perspective

  • The global level arms race, religion-based terrorism
  • Local-level again caste, religion issues

Focus on clean water, clear air, affordable medication, quality education is not the focus for all.

Seems inequality is deemed to exist as we need the poor to remain poor.

Reality vs Intentions differ!!!
