My year and life gets a new meaning today as my daughter tells me she thinks i look like a God 🙏 She says Bhagwan Ji can do everything and mamma can also do everything... "you look like a Bhagwan Ji"
I had same equation with my parents...
The purpose of life is fulfilled :)
How polite are you?
I worry about bothering neighbors with loud songs, even while heaphones on...
Dilli mein baarish aisi hui jaise log apne gharo mein pani ka "motor" chalaa ke bhool jaaya karte the...
I click selfies to check if the lens is clean.
Not self obsessed at all...
Corporate Hiring Mantra:
Find someone who's good enough to do the job, and needy enough to not leave!
People ask me how do you identify your soulmate?
Its simple.
You (are ready to) feel their pain... that's the one.
"Wo itni pure hai ki non-veg bhi uske andar jaakar saattvik bann jaata hai"...
Nothing gives me more anxiety than rushing to correct a typo in an important message : use the edit feature before the 2 ticks turn blue 😆
Are you even in love if you've not become a poet?
Are you even a poet if you're not embarrassed to read what you wrote? 😄
The ability to incite drama where there is none, comes from a special ability that doesn't go away with time.
Stay away from drama. Stay away from dramatic people...
As a rule i always allow students who come late to the class. No its not about violating discipline.
Sometimes when you probe deeper, you will know the tardy student may have overcome greater hurdles to at least be there on that day, owing to their thirst for learning.
While those who came on time have had a fairly normal day...
Acceptance and compassion can go a long way.
Some people are so consumed by their own stupidity they don't even acknowledge the goodness that comes to them!
Listening to this song on loop: Sajni
While server at the restaurant is called Rajni...
We stop arguing with people when we realize "Jiski jitni samajh hai..." 😀
Is it just me, or some music actually sounds better when heard in the car...?
Cab book kari 11 baje ki. Fare 450 aaya.
Cab book kari 11:15 baje ki. Fare 370 aaya.
Bas unnis bees ka fark hai 🤣
Cab driver: mam which route should i take?
Me: what is the location map showing?
Cab driver: One route is 55 minutes, the other 1 hr 10 minutes.
Me: Take the longer route *goes about to the set playlist* 😀
With frequent compliments to people on positive notes, I may be doing "generous" praise, but never "false" praise!
Stuck in the confines of your routine, you choose to unleash frustration and atrocities onto the world...
Reason I dont attend cookery classes is because
1. i create own recipes and
2. Reverse engineer the food made by the best chefs!
Heartening moment as a parent when my daughter asked today
1) About the domestic help's absence:
Is Jyotsana didi at home or is she not not well?
2) While making rotis with mumma:
Who is making the atta? Upon being told it comes from wheat, she asks where does wheat come from? Upon being told it grows in the farm, she asks "Who is growing the wheat?". Finally she settles for neing told, farmers grow the wheat 😀
My work here as a parent is done...!
Seek validation only from IT department - and not from people!
#ITReturns
So hyper-receptive n vigilant i can hear the sound of my brain thinking... hear parts of my face moving as i swallow.
like how those CPUs n processors make a humming noise?
Its true i lack personal ambition
I just work towards a long term vision
Whenever you feel you're not good enough, act not from a place of insecurity, but from a place of inspiration!
People will gaslight into making you believe you are insecure, while not correcting their own faulty actions.
Each time a project gets over, I'm like...
"Rogue mercenary, here for hire!"
Regressive people: you need to suffer what i went through
Progressive people: will do everything to make sure don't suffer what I went through
"Deewaarein itni oonchi kar do ki koi andar na aa paaye"
"Par kisi din humein hi kood kar bhagna padaa... to?"
Somebody please un-do the ban on tiktok
So Instagram can be rid of crappy content that's crept into it!
So that crappy content goes back to tiktok!
Legendary authors mostly have 3 initials in their names

I live for art, an artist at heart. But in essence i'm an empath philosopher
I see people from a distance with a keen detachment. They make for good study...
"Don't reveal your weaknesses.
People will take advantage!"
But I start with my weaknesses,
so i know exactly who gets to stay
When i was 18, 25 yr old women would be insecure. Now im 36 and 25 yr old are still insecure around me
But trust me I'm a woman's woman. Its the men who try to pitch women against each other to create competition so that they are served by more than one woman... competing with each other to please him
While women may act inscure and even rude/mean, i always loathe the man for putting her in that situation
To the woman: drop this man who plays mind games with you to keep under his control and in downward spiral
Allow me to make your day...
You're the best version of you. Having come so far in life.
Grateful for everything good that's come your way so far.
Things only get better from here on 😀
The media is obsessed with Ambani wedding!
Meanwhile me:
"Anant aur Aakash me se aage jaa kar ek Mukesh banega aur doosra Anil" 😄
Summer hacks:
Keeping spectacles in refrigerator overnight (to curb thermal expansion)
Adding saunf to dal while it cooks
You know the worst part about managing kore than 2 residences is not just the cost n effort involved in maintenance, repair and reconstruction ...
The worst part is when you are hungry and in a hurry, and the food order gets delivered to the wrong address 🤐
I don't prey upon the wounded...
I simply build them up!
These are the perks of my quirks 😀
How did you put up with toxic people for years?
"Hum to plastic ki thaili bhi 4 saal sambhaal kar rakhte hain!" 🤐
Insaan to phir bhi insaan hai...
Tolerance is not weakness.
Hope is not foolishness
I see potential in people and give them a chance
If things go awry, i repair, recover and move on.
Some of the nest things in life are free!

"Give me two seconds and I'll tap into the essence of your being!"
And I'll know your end game. What drives you. What you're really after... power, money, fame, peace..
The basis of your existence.
I'm not fooled by physicality. I look directly into your soul... while keeping your comfort intact 😀
Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder
In the hands of the creator
And the taste of the connoisseur 😀
"Sometimes you behave like a ritch bitch"
Ok. Sorry. Let me get off that high horse and teach you good vocabulary instead...
Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder... AND in the hands of the creator 😃
When you're anxiously waiting for a call from a potential investor/new client/Hiring agency...
You pick up the phone, and then...
"Priye Graahak... kripya home loan transfer karne ke liye 1 dabaayein" 😄
Follow up to the last post:

Past 8 weeks, been living somewhere akin to a bunker in Afghanistan. Yet I'm here to build my parents' home, a work of love, "just the way it was, Brick for Brick". As Batman said it.
It's been a colossal mess since late 2018 as every few months, a new thing breaks. But i have to deal with it. Already got a roof done, which still leaks from the damage in the flat above. The electrical panel was soaked for 7 months. I stayed here without electricty or heating in peak-Delhi-winter, and got more things repaired.
You see, the thing about idolizing Batman has nothing to do with capes and Batmobiles. Its about doing the hard things, the necessary things, even with the lack of applause. Sticking to your self-appointed "purpose" even without people understanding why or what.
"Your purpose in life is to build", dad would often say, that things start to get built up when i go somewhere. Or I'm sent to places where things have to be built. And that's precisely been my purpose in life, to build (people, places, nation...).
The next thing about idolizing Batman is to take the hit for others. Even as they hate you. To go on in life even after people close to you abandon you and hurt you. To choose not to be a victim but deal with things as they come, bravely...
The thing about idolizing Batman is that you keep doing good things even while being mistaken as "the bad guy".
Without the luxury of Alfred Pennyworth or Lucious Fox by your side, or billions of dollars at your disposal. Its about finding your own strength (with no other-wordly superpowers), to have hope, even while you're holed up in a bunker...
Your passion is not what sustains you. It's something you keep on doing even when you're broke(n). It has to come not from a state of deprivation but from a sense of largesse and giving you perform from a heart and mind that believes in creating abundance...
As my dad would say, when Circumstances go bad, don't be bitter - you become BETTER!
I choose to share only the happy aspects of life because i insulate people close to me from any negativity i face in a personal capacity. For this post, this one time, i take a detour 😀 Sometimes, it's about the message...

Copied from my instagram post
Holding up fort for so many who let me down on a regular basis.
Its hard when no one understands your pain. When no one knows your true suffering. You are seen as the bad guy.
When you thought people close to you would understand things when you share something. But they judge you instead. Especially when you know you are not this way with others.
Harder when you are on the verge of losing everything that's dear to you.
Had to be said.
Will be back to resurrecting myself in a while...
Because give from a place of abundance. If i have to complain about it, then better not be giving.
Because i seek abundance so i can give...
People with resources who can do something are generally insensitive to the needy.
Those who are sensitive generally dont have the means to do things.
Why is that
The latter has to depend on the former to privide resources for the needs they have identified through their sensitivity...
I think more like a leader when I'm not the leader.
To the times when I've been an advisor or next to the leader and that gives me more perspective.
Prefer being the Chanakya to Chandragupt...
Some want to be seen, some want to be heard.
I'm one who wants to be preserved!
You learn to do everything when you have a startup.
Or you do a startup when you have learned to do everything...
Too lazy to go search for my (myopic) glasses... Zooms word file to 150% instead.
A random person ojce asked me how do you know so many famous people?
Well, i met them and believed in their potential long before they became famous 😊
Even if my child is not very keen on reading, she needs a bit of push, I'm happy about what she's doing that comes as a result of reading...
Making pertinent observations and asking insightful questions
Today she told me, eyes get closed when i sneeze - good enough for an almost 4 yr old!
