Three Things the Market Taught Me in Twenty Years
As the year folds into itself and a new one waits at the doorstep, we do what humans have always done—we plan. New routines, new hopes, new resolutions. Amid these, financial planning often finds its way into our lists, sometimes driven by aspiration, sometimes by anxiety. After spending over two decades in the stock market, Continue reading

History Remembers the Ones Who Begin
Yesterday, I wrote about procrastination—not as laziness, but as a quiet force that keeps us trapped in the ordinary. If you want even a flicker of the extraordinary, you must break that spell. Start small.Start messy.Start scared.But start. Many years ago, I read something that stayed with me: when you begin anything meaningful, you will Continue reading

Procrastination Is Good
At first glance, procrastination seems harmless—almost comforting.It makes you lazy, inefficient, unbothered. You don’t have to put in effort. You don’t have to confront fear, discipline, or the hard edges of ambition. You simply drift. And if you drift long enough, something quiet but dangerous happens: you become ordinary. Procrastination is seductive because it asks Continue reading

When Dreamers Are Called Selfish
It’s strange how the world works. Those who never had the courage to chase their own dreams are often the first to call dreamers selfish.

Day 300: The Quiet Victory of Showing Up
On 26 January 2025, I made a simple New Year’s resolution—one that felt small enough to attempt, yet big enough to change me. I decided to start a blog and publish one post every single day for the next 365 days. Not for fame, not for a record, not to prove anything to the world, Continue reading

The Subtle Ways We Insult Ourselves
Years ago, I wrote a line that keeps returning to me whenever life slows down enough for introspection:“When we compromise with our dreams, we insult ourselves.”At that time, I didn’t fully grasp the weight of those words. Today, I understand them a little better. People often talk about insults as something external—something someone says, something Continue reading

The Art of Being Yourself
“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” – Oscar Wilde “It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation.” – Herman Melville In a world that constantly whispers who we should be, it takes quiet courage to simply be ourselves. We grow up learning how to blend in, how to speak the Continue reading

“Ambitious people suffer from acute pain; non-ambitious people suffer from chronic pain.Acute pain is better — if one knows how to survive the storm.It’s living with chronic pain that makes life truly pathetic.Hence, be ambitious.”— Bhaskar Saikia I wrote this line long ago, but its meaning has deepened over time. Back then, it was just Continue reading
