- I was interviewing a GenZ intern today and he says he is looking for work life balance with not more than 5 hours of work. Doesn't't like the MNC culture so wants to work at a start up. Also, wants 40-50k stipend. God bless the future of work.
- Life update: I got married! To my high school best friend. It was an intimate wedding at a small heritage property in Goa, with our favourite people. A mix of cultures & traditions. I'm happy we could have a personalised ceremony true to our story.
- I finally made a trip to Masai Mara, Kenya. It was the most beautiful holiday ever. Completely different from anything I had ever done before. Unlike traveling to developed countries, Masai Mara is a bit different/difficult. Here is everything you need to know.
- Unpopular Opinion: The best months to visit Goa are June/July.
00:00 - Goa is so beautiful in the monsoons. I wish more people tried to explore this side of Goa. The long drives, the water falls, the ponds, rainbows and how great the food tastes in this weather. Here's the view from my cafe this morning.
00:00 - Last week I was attending a wedding in Mumbai. We checked into the hotel, and checked the venue. Maps showed 30 minutes. Pretty close, I said in my mind The event was at 7:30 PM, so we decided to leave by 7 PM. At 7 PM Google maps: Destination is 1 hour 30 mins away. At that
- I ordered sanitary pads from @SwiggyInstamart and found a bunch of chocolate cookies at the bottom of the bag. Pretty thoughtful! But not sure who did it, swiggy or the shopkeeper?
- The middle class me still can't believe I stayed at the Giraffe Manor in Nairobi. Something I had dreamt of since I was 12! Living amongst these giant beautiful creatures was surreal. Getting a booking at the manor is really difficult. Here's everything you need to know.
- Until recently, I couldn't get through a single book. My attention span had reduced to a few minutes and I couldn't get myself to sit through even though I really wanted to. Something @naval said changed my perspective and this year I've read about 12 books already.
- If you throw a stone in Bangalore it'll definitely hit a Rohit or an Aditya who is a PM and has 7 job offers
- Convinced 6 young women to invest in mutual funds (SIP) instead of fixed deposits. Hope they convince 6 more.
- The Goa Airbnb game is strong. Consider working from Goa this holiday season!
