What motivated you to choose your current career?
I don’t think motivation was what drove me into my current career, it was priorities, realization and interest. As a 16–17 year old when I was in my 11th and 12th, I had absolutely no idea what I wanted from life. If you don’t know what you want to learn and you were good at…

299/365 Another Series that I started to Binge Watch
After Binge Watching Billions I was thinking if there is any other series I can start on. But I have not been lucky. Watched a few limited series and a few other. But now I am hooked on to Queen of the South. This series comes up in my Netflix recommendations always. May be because…

278/365 Compassion over Competition
I don’t have to tell you that we live in a competitive world. Hyper Competitive some would say. And this starts from very early childhood.

EP 241 (178/365) Failures are louder than Successes
I can remember much of my failures… much more than my successes and if I take a tab the side of failures will far outweigh successes. Is that bad? I don’t think so. It is just that our failures are much more louder than our successes. May be our failures will be more remembered and…

EP 236 (173/365) Work-Life Balance Part-3
I think Work-Life balance would be different with a freedom to call quits. I don’t think I have that freedom but I think those who have that might have better work life balance… if we take opportunities and our chances to get another job… I think the important aspect is checking if we can work…

EP 232 (169/365) The Art of BadMouthing
You meet a friend and tell him that a book is so boring and atrociously bad. I am sure next time he is in a library or bookstore and sees the book he will surely stop and pick it up. He will spend more time than ever browsing just to see how bad it is. He does not have…
