Can't stop thinking about this.

@heyaCPK I am a noob. These questions are above my competence grade

@arnav_kumar Do you do only boxing or even MMA? And how many days a week?

Boxing coaches are full delulu 🥊 Coach - "Ok Arnav. We will spar today. You have to score 5 punches only. And I have to score 10." Me - "Well, This means I get hit more. And every punch you land is heavier and fuller. Why are you making it sound like I am getting a great deal? " Full delulu Love him ❤️

@tejgw This is so cool ❤️

hadn't seen this many IITB faces in one place since graduation. wild that it took SF to make it happen

@Vishal_Gahlaut Where do you stay?

@arnav_kumar Been looking for a good boxing coach - pray share?

The most precious asset for a startup is the founder's energy. A company will figure its way through seven hells if the founder has the energy to keep pushing and building. So being in my best energy is actually my most important job as a founder. Some founders miss this. And take TED talks on servant leadership too seriously without context. As a founder, if you have adopted a style of work that drains your energy/ gives you bad emotion, you are doing your company, team and investors a MASSIVE disservice. Founders MUST operate in a style that works for them. That gives them energy. Gives them good emotion. Makes them feel like they have the power to change the world. Adopt a work style, work culture and lifestyle that allows you to be this person. Choose who you want to work with. Build the culture and team that allows you to experience your best energy and flow state. Be unapologetic about it. Let the world deal with it. Be yourself and tell the world. Strongly attracts the believers Strong repel the disbelievers. Cut off anyone and anything who gives you repeated negative emotion and energy. Ignore advice and TED Talks and biased examples people quote without context. Listen to everything. Ignore anything that doesn't ring true to your beliefs and your context. Guard your own energy and emotion like a Tigress guarding its young. If some part of your job gives you bad energy, outsource or limit or minimise. If someone around you gives your bad energy repeatedly, cut them off. This doesn't mean you don't have to change. Or you are perfect. All of us are dumb WIPs. But all change demands good energy and good headspace. And all changes must start from a place of self awareness and acceptance.. So first achieve a good headspace before you attempt to change and improve. Founders get bad energy when : 1. You are working on something you don't want to work on.. Fix that. Find a mission you are aligned with 2. You are working with people who drain you. People who don't align with your expectations/goals and keep slowing you down with poor outcomes. Replace them respectfully. You can't change people's outlook. You can't doubt your own expectations. Find people who are aligned with your style and expectations. 3. You are not winning. Get back to winning. Nothing else matters. Just win. Ignore all advice that doesn't agree with your instincts and wisdom. And especially if some entitled brat who has never built anything meaningful or hard, tries to dispense advice on how you should operate.. And how servant leadership is the only way.. Do 50 pushups to punish yourself for bearing with this idiot for those 30 mins And get on with your day :)

@primal_brainer I will frame this and use it as my hiring pitch 😊😊

'Rich, Anonymous and Unattached' Doesn't work for me. But I wish it did 😊

@nishantvatsal Yess

The third one has dropped "Post a mutual breakup, If the ex is not doing well, you feel sad. But if the ex is doing well, you feel much much much more sadness. Jaise agar hum khud exam mein last aaye hain.. Aur dost fail hota hai to bura lagta hai.. But agar dost first aaya hai to bahut jyaada bura lagta hai.. "

I never understood why people work out in the evenings. You have less physical and mental energy. And evening workouts give you a buzz which makes it hard to sleep.. Totally messed up system. Work out in the morning. Eat the frog. Own the day.. Plus, if you work out in the mornings, you can go on long walks in the evening. And get banger growth ideas at 10 pm. 🚀🚀

Feedback delayed is feedback denied. Negative feedback should be delivered fast.🥶 And Positive feedback should be delivered faster 😊

@PratikshaDake @UniqloIn Get in line

@UniqloIn should make me their brand ambassador. I’ve worn their clothes in both tropical heat and cold climates.

In English we say “Acceptance” But in Urdu Ahmad Faraz wrote: “Hazaar gham hai khulasa kon kare, Muskura deta hun ab tamasha kon kare.” ~ Ahmad Faraz

This is one of the most misunderstood dynamics about entrepreneurship. People confuse the cause and effect. People look at successful founders. And marvel at their audacity and swagger and belief. At their attitude. Call it the Musk attitude Or VSS attitude People assume this attitude is a function of their success. "Oh, he is like that because he is Musk." "Oh, she is like that because she is a exited founder" "Oh, he is like that because he is a decacorn founder" In reality, these founders always had this attitude, even when they were not successful.. Even on day 1 of their founding journey. Even before their founding journey. They started on this difficult and often impossible journey because they have this attitude... They had an undeniable belief in themselves and their inevitability, when everyone they met thought they were delusional, or too early, or too cocky.. Their success is a derivative of this attitude.. Not the other way around.. Obviously, their swagger and confidence and audacity and abundance mindset continues to grow as they become more successful.. So they pick harder, impossible problems as they taste more success.. But make no mistake. These folks were already a 'force of nature' before they started.. They would win, regardless. I haven't seen a founder do well if they were low energy, low confidence on Day1. Caveat is to remember that people can have quiet confidence. Confidence doesn't have to be loud But confidence is a necessary condition for entreprenrial success. Entrepreneurship (and life) is a game of confidence.

Parenting rewires you. Nothing else explains my comfort with unflushed poo. Close lid. Sigh. Re-evaluate life choices. Count to 5. Flush. Use the other loo. Count 5 while kid giggles like it is a brilliant joke. Go back to playing with kid. Feel gratitude for unflushed poo

@theliverdoc @esSENSEGlobal @theliverdoc if you keep going and stay true, we will have to declare you a National Treasure. Bumrah league 👏👏❤️

I don't know who he is. But I think Mark Manson and I can be friends.

The second one has dropped "the hardest thing about this breakup is that I can't listen to my favourite songs anymore. Because I sent it to him and we discussed and dissected them endlessly. Now these songs are maligned .. I am not sharing any of my favourite songs with anyone till I am sure I have locked in the one"
