    SriLanka: What a way to end 2022 & welcome 2023!

    I have always absolutely loved travelling. And marrying someone who loves travelling even more than I do, is a blessing. We make it a point to end the year/begin new year by travelling. True to this ritual, we rang in 2023 together by travelling to SriLanka – in a Tuktuk!! Yes, we rented and drove around all of Sri Lanka in a Tuktuk of our own. And trust us, it was something! Read on to find out about our 7 day trip in this beautiful country, which has it all – mountains, beaches, jungles, national parks galore, good infrastructure and most importantly, very hospitable and welcoming locals.    The Preparation…

    Be your own man!

    “Live upto your potential instead of imitating someone else’s.” I was recently reading the book ‘Elon Musk’ by Ashlee Vance which is a sort of biography covering Elon Musk’s life in detail. It is an interesting read and provides an insight into Musk’s life and journey so far. I was highly impressed by Musk’s intelligence and knowledge, but even more so by his charisma and his almost superhuman ability to get the best out of colleagues, achieving impossible feats in the process.  And for a minute I wished that I could just be like him. That I could work for 18 hours straight day in day out, running 3 companies,…

    Why should fitness be your top priority in life?

    “Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.” – Jim Rohn We all wish to have the perfect body. One that’s free from any ailments and diseases and has a nice shape thus making our clothes look good on us, letting us carry out our daily tasks efficiently, and make us more attractive over all.  Although we want all this, the truth is not of all us are willing to work for it. And one of the main reasons for not willing to put in the work is because it feels like hard work and a lot of sacrifice.  Getting fit has been made out to…

    The secret to a great workout (and to life)!

    While your diet, rest & recovery time, workout consistency all contribute to the kind of physique you end up with, when in the gym, there’s one little secret ingredient that ensures that you make the most of your workout. Assuming that all other aspects of your life are in place, it is this ingredient that can accelerate your gains and catapult you from ‘good’ to ‘great’ (the most successful people use this very technique). Today, I spill the beans on it and teach you how to use it to maximum advantage. But first, a bit of background. When you go to a gym, you find quite a wide variety of…

    How (and why) to get out of your comfort zone?

    “Comfort Zone is a beautiful place but nothing ever grows there.” Let me try and imagine how your life is.  You are well settled in life, moderately successful, have a nice job, get promoted every few years, drive a cool car, travel every few months, have a constant set of friends you regularly hang out with, talking the regular shit, and go home to a worthy partner. But whenever an opportunity comes up to apply for a new job that pays double but might require you to move to a new city, or to join a running group comprising of CXOs of different companies early in the morning, you give…

    The Time Is NOW!

    “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The next best time is today.” – Chinese Proverb. Just how long do you plan to sit on that sorry ass of yours, and keep plotting your next move, one that you have been plotting for the past 3-4-5 years (or maybe even longer)?? What ‘move’ you ask? Don’t play dumb. You know what ‘move’ I am talking about. The ‘move’ to update your CV and start looking for that dream job, the ‘move’ to set the alarm for 5 AM everyday and go for a run, the ‘move’ to execute that business idea that has been sitting in your…

    How to Become a Badass?

    “You only live once. You might as well be a Badass.” Every once in a while you come across a person who leaves you awestruck and impressed with the way he carries himself, the way he acts in any situation, and the way people treat him. He (or she, since such people come in all shapes, sizes and genders) is the one who makes you feel that he has total control over his life. Nothing seems to be impossible for this real life Superman. Heck, it appears that if needed, he could look a tiger in the eye and make it pee in its pants(if it was wearing one), by…
