What worked
Have to balance both Health and Life. In a way, for me, my mom needs to keep cooking always. At least me being in Bangalore I can give her a break. She has been struggling for me for so many years with all my tantrums.
Keep Thinking!!!
I have a poor memory these days. No proper sleeping pattern, No good body posture. A bit of stress. Life has to take a break.
Keep Refreshing!!!!
If one side of fruit looks rotten, the other side looks good. In the need of hunger, we remove the rotten part and use the good one. When things don't look good in some areas of life, we have to focus on areas where we get moments of peace and move on with life.
Keep Going!!!
You never know always hard to choose, At a certain point it's a tradeoff between looks vs education vs lifestyle vs comfort. So hardwired at some point plus parents standoff and perceptions plus hardwired things which I can't blame society. Life just goes on hoping something better and it gets lost with other priorities running against the next appraisal
- The world is small, we may meet the wrong people more than once
- The world is small, we may repeat the same mistake more than once
- Life is short when I started feeling severe health issues
- Learning is a never-ending race, Sacrificed both life and time now need to sacrifice learning for health
Feels very painful, Many aspects of caste violence is portrayed
- Denying transportation making life miserable
- Objectification of women making them vulnerable to violence
- How the law works against the poor
- How brutality can be forced against the weak
- How collectively situations are created to deny education/opportunities
- How your lives can be crushed in an organized form of police brutality
Education vs Legal Visibility vs Struggle to make it a decent life vs Aware of dangers/challenges and struggle to live with basic standards. The very painful portrayal of caste implications in villages and towns.
These are observations till now Unless you live their Life, You will not know how painful others life is.
Know your Society!!!
- Start randomly
- Check any of sources books, blogs, youtube
- Spend few mins
- If it sounds interesting make notes and lessons
- If it doesn't sound interesting move to other sources
- After 15~20 mins have few references, initial ideas
- If it works keep it in notes
- Else break the flow, Goto another source
Keep Exploring!!!
- Bangalore to Krishnagiri - Close callouts, Need to slow down. Too many load vehicles bit heavy traffic
- Krishnagiri to Vaniyambai- Sporadic rain, Wet roads, Bit slippery, Had to slow down a bit
- Vaniyambai to Pallikonda - Very heavy rain, Only the centre lane from 3 lanes was less floody, Corners were a lot of water stagnation
- Walajah to Chennai - 2-way lanes, Lot of construction and diversions
Overall mixed emotions with the ride.
Happy Safe Driving!!!

I try to keep as diversified as possible. To minimize loss and well and distribute evenly across domains. Time is limited to analyze every company. In 6-8 months will read about it and decide on more investments accordingly. I am not a master of it but yea always prefer to buy stocks in double digits, triple, and with some precaution.
Keep Thinking!!!

Keep Going!!!
- Last night near Thadakam Hotel near Hosur - Krishnagiri Route
- Very long trailer going in Second to the first-line switch
- No indicator
- Since it was bent it appeared the first lane was visible
- Stepped closer in 70+ I guess
- Close call with brakes!!!
- Near Miss
- He then gave way lane
- My Mistake - Never underestimate bends, What appears free is not free lane...
- Drive a bit more careful
- If he had put an indicator I would have slowed / more clear on his thoughts
- Had no clue of which lane he wants to go
- Matter of few seconds so always be careful
Keep Thinking!!!
- Health Checkup
- Psychometrics Test

Cost lunch when I step out Rs.50 (Tomato Rice + Tea). When I order online same 300. One-click payment 6X for comfort. Detox Digital Addiction.
- Coaching Institutes - How to get into Top Institutions
- Elite Schools - Give Individual Attention
- Government Schools - Learn with all difficulties
- Weeding out education system vs Inclusive learning system
Growth cannot happen only with people who can afford the money, Inclusive growth remains a bigger challenger. Without inclusive education, you will not get Diversity Thinking
To go far go together!!!
Sometimes felt restless at Chennai, No Travel, At home. On-time food but no physical work. Here clean house, home chores, Miss the things at home. Always bothered about work not taking care of my mom. Regret taking my professional life too close in my life.
Job - You do not get paid to say yes. You are willing to discuss than follow top-down orders. A team that has trust will outperform the process. A team which has territories and boundaries will fail even with good process.
Keep Going!!!
We do not remember every journey in our life. We only remember things where there was a special moment, challenges, satisfaction, and cherished achievements. In the same way we only remember the work where were involved deep, curious and did it repetitively or deep dive implementation.
- Never worry when you are denied an opportunity because it means they feel you are a threat. Sun will be in dark and the moon shines bright all night. Once the sun comes after dawn, the moon will be lost in the shine and light. So talent has to go through periods of darkness to break myths and assumptions.
- When you know your strength and weakness, Its a matter of time for people to notice and work with you because thinking, working cannot be copied but code can be
- When you are mentally and technically prepared for a role, You will find it anywhere and clear interview because you are already thinking, working in that role
- Measure every move, Build your profile, Think through and make planned moves. Be patient, quiet, and calm. Use the anger to fuel your progress.
Keep Going!!!
Every 2 years you need to revisit/relook your career as you near your 40s. When the time is less, you need to pick and chose the right roles to balance your life, take care of your parents.
Learn and Grow, Be in a job that gives you satisfaction, peace of mind, Able to balance other aspects of Life.
Keep Thinking!!
Companies may run out of Talent but Talent will never run out of Opportunities. Your success is built on 99% of failures that others didn't notice. One day the magnificent success looks like an overnight success. Today's pain is tomorrow's gain. Keep smiling and Keep going!!!
We need to survive, For paycheck, we deliver work that is required from us
For personal learning, we read things that we like to read about
Applying your perspectives and ideas and building a solution in your own frame of mind
Being open to change things if you see an impact / better reason for it
