Monami

My maternal grandfather was a freedom fighter who was once jailed while fighting for farmer's rights during independence. He used to write letters to my grandmother addressing her as "Mon Ami". After years, my mother read one of those and that's where I got my name from :)

My sister is pregnant and she's looking for a baby girl name that ends with "ya" Help her out before her husband suggests "shreya" again

Once you start reading Kafka, Dostoevsky, Albert Camus, Jean-Paul Sartre, Friedrich Nietzsche, Emil Cioran, and Hermann Hesse, there is no going back.

@Radhikakhanzode Mood*

@Radhikakhanzode No it doesn't work. Here's why. Food from previous day remains, mooda influence food choices, raw materials stack up when not cooked. Instead plan for the next 4 meals. So on Monday you'll know till Tuesday dinner. I'm not counting breakfast. Repeat that thrice a week.

Husband and I were discussing yesterday whether we should start making a weekly Excel every weekend for breakfast, lunch and dinner..just to avoid the daily question "Aaj jewayla/breakfast la kay karycha?" So people who've tried this, does it actually work??

Oh yes, it's the best cheat code.

Brilliant.

You're spending ₹50 lakhs on things you'll never own. Last week, my phone told me I was out of storage. I didn't delete anything. I just tapped "Upgrade" on iCloud and forgot about it. That evening, I asked a few team members to list every subscription they pay for monthly. For a typical affluent Indian household, you're looking at ₹6,000 to ₹8,500 every month. This is what normalisation looks like. Let me present you with an alternate scenario. ₹5,000 a month in an index SIP at 12% annual returns over 20 years compounds to roughly ₹50 lakhs. That's a child's college fund or a down-payment for a house. And it's only going in one direction. India's subscription economy is projected to reach ₹3.2 lakh crore by 2033. It has become the most resilient business architecture of the last two decades. I'm not saying stop subscribing. Some of these services genuinely add value to our lives and work. But I do have an issue with the direction we're all moving towards. When everything in your life is leased and nothing is owned, the fundamentals of ownership and transfer begin to evaporate. Your subscriptions die with your last payment. Decades of paying for Audible, Spotify, and Netflix leaves your family with zero books, zero music, and zero films. We are slowly becoming hostage to models where the price only goes up, the content only exists as long as you keep paying, and switching feels impossible because your memories and data are locked in. That's the part that should concern every wealth creator. In this week's Create Wealth newsletter, I've broken down the full economics of the subscription economy. Why cloud storage is the one bill that never stops growing. And a simple 4-step audit framework to take back control. We've also built a Subscription Audit Calculator. A Google Sheet where you can plug in your subscriptions and see the total cost over 1, 3, and 10 years compared to what the same amount would grow to as a SIP. 👉 Make a copy to personalise it for yourself. 🔗 Read the full newsletter: dezerv.in/blog/youre-pay… 🔗 Subscription Audit Calculator: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d… #SubscriptionEconomy #PersonalFinance #CreateWealth #Dezerv #WealthManagement

At least now people will believe the AI is not the magic pill, yet. When the bottom layers are broken, the fault lines will show through.

🚨 I just learned about a concept, I can't stop thinking about. The Four Burner Theory. It destroyed Elon Musk's first marriage. It explains why Bezos is jacked but divorced. And why Zuckerberg has no real friends. Once you understand it, your life will never be same:🧵

Observation about wealthy people: I once worked with someone extremely wealthy, and what struck me was how they never complained about small inconveniences. Their coffee order was wrong? They just drank it. Flight delayed? They pulled out a book. They had this quiet acceptance that some things just aren’t worth the emotional energy. While the rest of us were stressing over things we couldn’t control, they’d already moved on to what they could control. It wasn’t about the money solving problems.. it was about having enough security that they didn’t need to fight every battle. They could afford, mentally and emotionally, to let things go.

@readswithravi Cliche but Murakami :)

Woah

Most people aren’t ghosting you because they don’t like you. They’re overwhelmed. Information overload and task pressure drive anxiety and avoidance. But messages that feel useful cut through and get faster replies.
