I have been publishing annual review for the past 11 years. I just published one for 2025. Every 12 weeks, I pursue activities under: • Wealth • Insights • Network • Self ⇒ WINS Little bit of WINS every 12 weeks. Read my annual review here:
Darkness is often overwhelming. But unless you let it, it can never overpower you.
Planning is easy; doing is hard. As we enter the new year, I'm sure many of you are thinking about goals. If history is any indicator, we often abandon our goals quicker than we expect. So, what is the fix? My little boy talks about the process I taught him and what he follows.…
> What is useful, then? All the things that require thought and judgment: architecture, writing for maintainability (including naming), refactoring for simplicity and good structure, etc
I have been facing this issue. I didn't have any mcps. Restart @antigravity
Is income inequality a lagging indicator of skill inequality and grit inequality?
Continued optimisation for efficiency removes flexibility to pursue opportunities for flexible growth. Efficiency removes wastage & buffer. These two are the vital blocks for flexibility
Systems of agents startups have a structural advantage: they’re in the orchestration path. - @JayaGup10 Systems of record are static snapshots of decisions. They lack the context—such as the discussions that led to the final deal, reasons for discounts, and debates that granted…
Barbell blogging ;-) I tell my friends that I follow the barbell strategy for everything (a concept I learned from Taleb). It seems that, unknowingly, I also applied the barbell strategy to my blogging—crowded in the first and last two months, and sparse throughout all the…
My bet for 2026: A Substack for Apps Steve Jobs once talked about technological windows — moments when enough pieces come together to make a real leap possible. I think we’re entering one of those moments for software creation. Today, building an app is no longer the hard part.…
Bellwether of a crumbling democracy is always a violation of human rights — Madam Secretary
Vengeance is not violence. Three years ago, religious thugs stormed into our church during a Sunday service. They shouted slogans, interrupted prayer, and threatened everyone. They came back the next Sunday. And the next. After three Sundays, the pastor decided to move out.…
Anthropic launches enterprise ‘Agent Skills’ and opens the standard, challenging OpenAI in workplace AI -
I escaped just in time. Left early and took a round about roads to reach home.
Lao Tzu — An ant on the move does more than a dozing ox. Translation — When you can’t do it all, at least do something.
You earn respect not by the number of projects you start, but by what you actually finish. As we come to the end of the year, many of us are already thinking about the goals we want to start in the new year. New plans. New habits. New resolutions. If the average person is any…
The more I use cursor, antigravity to generate code and debug, the more I realize, my coding and debugging skills are going down. Both from laziness and cognitive decline. Debugging is one thing I've always prided myself on. I wonder how this will morph in the new era.

Interesting law. Apparently the police don’t have to disclose the details of the crime committed. They don’t have to disclose who complained. What was the crime. They have to only share: there was a call and I am arresting you. Seems bit too much of heavy hand.
On another hand Sathya Nadella also says they are are scaling down their AI goals. Right hand doesn’t know what the left hand does.
I keep goal-setting process minimal, which makes it effective. Discussing my approach with friends today. Interested? Join us. We'll cover: • 3 types of goals (have, do, be) • 4 areas (wealth, insights, network, self) • Plan→Do→Review • Plan for 12 weeks Register here:…
I measure my wealth by freedom to chat with friends on a Monday morning without phone calls. On that yardstick, I am extremely wealthy. And I am thankful for that. I don't see Sejal as 25 year younger to me. She comes with piercing questions that makes me pause, think, and…
Madam Secretary > The Diplomat I watched about 3 seasons of Madam Secretary and the first season of The Diplomat. Both resemble in their plot. But somehow the plot, characters, and the acting is better in Madam Secretary. Which one you like?
Where is the most potential in this world? Arpit began the session with this thought-provoking question. His answer: the graveyard. Because so many people die without realizing their fullest potential. So, are you living up to your fullest potential?

Why write? Writing forces you to tidy mental clutter Writing expands your working memory Writing exposes the ugly, uncomfortable, or unrealistic parts of your thoughts
First names affect how you are perceived at work. ‘Anna’ and ‘Joseph’ are consistently considered trustworthy, honest and reliable. (I am so glad about my name 😀) Source:
I’ve spent all my life trying to impress the women in my life. The first one was my mom. One day, straight from my 1st standard class, I told her I got 25 marks. She was furious that she said, "No lunch for you," and went back to work. I wrote on the wall, "I don't know how to…
Job apps for nurses can set payment rates by analysing a nurse’s credit card debt to decide how desperate they are for work. Source: &
Velocity > Speed Solve the direction prior to speed. If you are going in wrong direction, the best decision to take is a U-Turn.
Can I vibe code an application with antigravity IDE? I prompted to create this app. Surprised ag could create a perfect homepage with single prompt. No corrections done. Just uploaded to vercel. Will code the app in the days to come. Lesson: ag > cursor…
Should I pay this digital challan? How can we quickly identify fraudulent messages? - Vodafone itself marks it as SPAM. - The domain (.vip) clearly indicates it is fraudulent. What else? We need more digital education.
Not all who suffer become wise But no wise man has ever become one without suffering
Measure the year by what you gave, not just by what you gained. As we approach the year's end, we often tally our achievements: • Buying a new car • Receiving promotions • Getting raises • Purchasing a new house • Taking trips While all these are great, it's even better…
Often the toughest battles aren’t around you They are in you
Kobo Plus > Kindle Unlimited So many good books in Kobo Plus.
Every wave of technology enabled humans to do what they were not able to do GenAI is similar Don’t think of it as productivity enhancing tool Think of how it can “empower” you to do what you wanted to do but couldn’t
This has been my homepage all year; I see it almost daily. This has been my vision and objective for over 15 years. You can’t achieve anything if you don’t act Plan → Act → Reflect Repeat every 12 weeks Go to bed a little wiser by learning and doing Any questions?

When you are passionate, it shows. My younger son is passionate about photography. He always has his phone with him, capturing photos. Today, he captured this: a jet leaving a trail. It also shows how advanced mobile photography has become.
I like RG's kindness; but if I were to vote, I will vote for Modi
Proud homeschooling (CTO) dad moment! My 16-year-old son taught himself React.js and built his very own portfolio website from scratch! He learnt to push code to GitHub and even deployed it live on Vercel. Watching him dive in and make it happen has been incredible. Checkout:…
Retention > Attention > Interruption Most marketing today is based on interruption: spams, cold calls, DMs Interruptions are ignored. Gain attention by engaging, deep ideas, and being helpful. Retention means money in the bank.
Are you studying the cross for theology or looking at it for life hacks?
From Eden’s “Where are you?” to Peter’s restoration by the sea, the Bible is the story of God seeking man.
I am inspired by people who have a penchant for learning. Mr. Khurana is one such person I admire. He learns purely out of curiosity. Despite having handed over his business to his sons and having enough for himself, he continues to learn. He just finished his master's in…
Once a week, I use a screener to identify undervalued, high-quality companies that offer value, quality, growth, and safety. Today, the screener identified 20 companies for further analysis and potential investment. (Hoping Santa brings some money so I can invest 😀)
When I click on a link within Twitter it opens up to an ad blocking the news. Closed and moved on. And then the newspapers wonder why people don’t read news or pay for it.
