    Informational Obesity Will Kill You (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    Informational obesity will kill you.But first, it will dumb you down.Actually, it already is.You know the routine. You wake up, pick up your phone and begin eating information before your brain has even brushed its teeth. By breakfast, you have consumed a war, 4 political opinions, 7 LinkedIn sermons, a celebrity divorce, someone explaining quantum physics in 43 seconds, another person telling you coffee is killing you, and a podcast clip where a 24-year-old millionaire explains how waking up at

    Some People Will Dislike You (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    You cannot please everyone.That is the bitter truth that takes some of us years to accept because we grow up believing that if we are sufficiently decent, reasonable and considerate, people will eventually understand us. They don’t. But it’s not just you. Krishna has been worshipped for centuries, yet people have debated his choices, philosophy and morality for just as long.

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Indians live poor but die rich.It sounds strange until you look around.A man can spend 40 years earning for a future he barely allows himself to enjoy. He will bargain with the sabziwala over ₹20, postpone replacing shoes whose soles surrendered 2 monsoons ago, avoid taking a proper holiday because hotels are expensive, and continue wearing the same sweater every winter because it is still perfectly fine.Then one day, after he is gone, the family begins opening cupboards, drawers and bank files

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Postponing things is such a sh*tty idea.And yet we do it with the confidence of philosophers who have cracked life. We postpone calls, plans, health checkups, apologies, dreams, difficult conversations, workouts, writing, saving money, leaving toxic places, and sometimes even living. We say, “Kal kar lenge”, as if tomorrow is our personal employee sitting outside with a notepad.The problem is that postponed things usually do not stay the same size. A task you could have finished in 20 minutes be

    Under the Same Sky (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    Stargazing is one of the most intimate things you can do with your partner.There is something magical about lying beside someone you love and looking at a sky that immediately makes both of you feel ridiculously small. For a while, the usual machinery of life loses importance. The unread emails can survive, tomorrow’s meeting becomes tomorrow’s problem, the phone finally stops behaving like an additional organ, and whatever nonsense the world has been manufacturing that week can continue without
