The more you do something, the more familiar it becomes.
Familiarity breeds habit.
Habits build character.
Character shapes destiny.

- No mentor? Use YouTube. No money for hiring a graphic designer? Use Canva No money for hiring a web developer? Use Carrd You are literally living in the best time of history. You don't need a lot of money to make a lot of money.
- In India, everyone is a self taught developer. Fact. Not kidding. The education part of college failed all of us.
- I am not an IITian. I don’t have a master's. I didn't go to IIM. Trust me, badges, marks, and exams don’t decide your future. You do.
- If you want to learn a new skill, give yourself 30 days and 30 minutes per day. This trick is life-changing.
- Give yourself a serious 6 month time and effort. You can change your life. Many have.
- Last day at Microsoft. Emotional. Into fixing education 200% now. Ask Me Anything.

- Young people! Leave your home, come to Bangalore. You NEED to have some life experiences.
- The best time to work is 5 am – 10 am. - No notifications - No meetings - No emails - No noise Just you, and your focused mind.
- Yahoo rejected Google Nokia rejected Android Viacom rejected Facebook Blockbuster rejected Netflix Sony rejected Marvel I was rejected by Cisco during my campus placements. It is a part of the process. Don’t give up just yet.
- Microsoft laying off is a big deal. It doesn't hire aggressively, it doesn't pay top dollars, and it's known internally for job security. As an ex-employee, I can tell you that the culture internally is to nurture and nourish and not fire and forget.
- Anything worth building takes time. - Relationships - Career - Startups - Right Habits The secret to win in life is that you should enjoy the building process than just doing it for the outcome.
- I am nervous when I talk to 10-16YOs. They literally have no filter. I met a friend’s kid and he introduced me as a famous YouTuber. His kid asked me how many subscribers I have. I said 30K. “That’s not famous.” One line reply, and he went back to his phone.
