Good Read: Core Principles By Viktor E Frankl
A Good Lecture On Pursuit Of Excellence
I started following Chess IM Sagar Shah about 2-3 years ago and since then read many things about him and listened to many of his videos on Youtube.

Thoughts on Purpose of Life
Sharing this not because I agree with the message but because it stimulates thinking. Richard Dawkins too says (though in a different context): "Universe has no purpose".

Vanity Of A Dictator Exposed
Who will bear responsibility for this? Daily loss of ₹8.5 lakh. A badly conceptualized project funded by public money is no less than corruption. Do we then need Bullet Train and Hyperloop? This is vanity of a dictator and his cronies getting exposed day by day. The person, the party and the ideology which came... Continue Reading →
Gold Standard of Fake News: Why I Don’t Read Newspaper Much…
I don't read daily newspaper with the same enthusiasm or purpose any more. I do read it for trivial news updates, but not for being informed about world events or for forming views/opinions. Firstly, daily newspaper had become way more outdated for that, particularly in the age of Social Media where news is fed and... Continue Reading →
Generation Gap
What is GENERATION GAP? Father used to walk 20 mins to save ₹20. Son spends ₹20 to save 20 mins. Surprisingly both are correct! Will write a detailed blog on this theme soon...
