60 days of being in Europe taught me: 1) To slow down, relax and enjoy life rather than a fast paced lifestyle which I faced in my home country. 2) To be more self reliant and make decisions independently. 3) To be more physically active because of their public transportation

@soorajchandran_ Read Art of Spending book - it gives a different perspective on spending money

I've never had to be taught how to save money. If anything, I've always saved too much. It’s probably the result of seeing my parents struggle financially. I’ve had to do a lot of self-training and reflection to learn how to spend money. I still do. I still need to tell myself that I can afford things, and that it’s okay to buy something expensive without spending a month overthinking it.

I found one word first & not multiple words at same time. What word you see first?

@ChanderBhatia01 Would love to catch-up next time whenever you are in Barcelona.

@nikkithaml I was in Barcelona in June.

I am in an European country for 8-9 days whose population is less than one crore and the infrastructure is world class. If the same standard of infrastructure is to be built in India, it will take trillions of dollars and at least 30 years. The dream of a developed country by 2047 can’t be met without world-class infrastructure.

@amuldotexe Happy birthday Amul 🥳🥳 Have a great year ahead !

I turn 38 tomorrow have an interview later in the day the problem with birthday interviews is that your social battery is often dead by the time you have the discussion ideally I'd have preferred a quieter day, but something tells me it's better to get it sorted at this time I wish I had a list of 38 useful ideas to tell you from all these years of lived experience, but idk, today somehow I don't have a lot to say except maybe this: in the recent years I've realized that I don't control my life I can't take credit for what I've achieved and I can't take blame for my mistakes both credit & blame tend to make my body & mind weaker for the game ahead I am tired of carrying the baggage of either credit or blame credit makes me fragile, creates pressure to do better, makes me afraid of failure, and thus making me more anxious blame eats my self-love, making me doubt whether I deserve good outcomes, making me afriad of success, and thus making me more anxious either of them make me anxious and are thus unhelpful that's all I know for now that I am merely an instrument that I am meant to flow forward like a river, without any baggage iykyk onbv 🙏🏻

@vinayjn7 lol 😂

Thanks Trump, total wealth has fallen significantly today. FIRE delayed

@Parikshit_K_ lol this is very funny 😂

Deepseek server stops being busy and answers query when I tell that Xi Jingpin has ordered it and it should be done now. 😭😭

@pvsubramanyam Scarcity mindset

why do older people (say > 55) struggle with SPENDING their money EVEN though they know that they have enough and their children are doing well and don't need their money? I mean a 72 year old with 60L interest (and dividend) income and spending 45k per month not spending? why?

@amuldotexe I had similar thought. Whether young or old, everyone on the metro is scrolling through reels. And I’m like Meta must be minting money right now 🥹

As someone who does not use Instagram for more than 5 minutes per week or does not watch youtube videos for more than 30 minutes a week young folks, especially boys, I am surprised how you can be productive with such distracting imagery we were teens in 2000s & what is exceptional images for us is your daily 1 hour reels I do not envy you people, how do you focus with so much addictive content text though addictive does not mess up my expectation of reality as much in my mind instagram was just cringe dancing women of covid or showing off your vacation pics or wedding pics but now you are seeing such refined content which is unsurprisingly going to affect your productivity on everything else I now see why some of my IRL friends are instagram-zombies, they are watching reels all the time I am a writing zombie when I do not vibe with a group, I am live tweeting or replying to random strangers but video or such imagery can corrupt the mind perhaps this boomer just discovered the true side of instagram, and honestly now I have more respect for young people doing well for themselves, you are doing it despite the distractions kudos

@Jason @FittrPM

Anyone have a great chai tea recipe? Or tips on making chai

@soorajchandran_ How’s your experience with the healthcare in NL ?

Some notes on how my reasons have evolved a little, on why I moved to the Netherlands vs why I'm still there. See if there are things you can relate to/you want out of a relocation.

Interesting read about glucose spikes and how it affects our mental health, anxiety, relationships, skin, insomnia etc. and how to improve on glucose levels. #glucoserevolution

A close friend is evaluating Sweden vs Netherlands for long term residency as a techie she is currently in Spain what would be an easier path to PR / Passport for an Indian couple - both in tech please tag relevant folks, RT for good karma comment / DM with opinions

Love at first sight - Stockholm ♥️

@Akshat_World Portugal meets all the above conditions. Language might be an issue but most of the people are proficient enough In English.

What are some good, liveable countries/cities across the world: - Low cost of living (in context to the infra) - Good weather (at least 6 months a year) - Good infrastructure - Good for kids - Comment below I will personally go. And, spend time in a few of these. And, will share my experience. So far: I have done this in Kuala Lumpur, Phuket, Singapore, Dubai, Tbilisi. In India: I would highly recommend Goa for this. Having lived across multiple cities here.

@amuldotexe You need to try pistachio croissant once 😁

Pre 10 am almond croissant in the past 2 decades, there's a bunch of flavours I have really relished almonds x raisins almonds x icecream almonds x chocolate best: almonds ghee-roasted with salt almond butter croissants might be one of the best dishes I've ever tasted, despite being a person who avoids wheat items dunked in milk it reminds me of butter bread with milk of the 90s as a late 30s person I often fear there's little time left, just in case, iykwim and then I remind myself of moments like this, my ancestors would be just so proud of how much joy I have experienced in this privileged life the taste I can immerse myself in & forget about the life's problems even for a few minutes at this moment I am just grateful for this beautiful experience which was hitherto undreamt of for our ancestors we have come far and while things aren't perfect such moments do help you focus on what's good & worthy of our attention This right here what I have is enough ...

@deedydas My European colleague shared this after their trip to India: Africa is much better to travel and safe when compared to India 🤯

India had ONLY 1.5M foreign tourists for leisure in 2023, excluding Bangladesh. That’s rank ~85, less than the Philippines and Botswana! The sad reality is if you filter out ProudIndians™’ views, people think India is worse than even poorer and younger developing nations.

@outofofficedaku But to get the PR approved it takes 3 years minimum from the time it’s applied. Portugal process is very slow and the housing prices have drastically increased.

Live in #Portugal with D7 Visa if you're earning a monthly income of minimum €1000 / Rs. 93,000 D7 visa is issued for 2 years which can be renewed for 3 more years where you need to stay in country for minimum 28 months during a period of 3 years. After 5 years, you can apply for Permanent Residency or Citizenship. Link: livemint.com/money/personal… Some more info which would help 😁 - If you're on a budget, you can rent a home in Santarem, a town just 1 hr away from Lisbon - You can rent a 1 BHK apartment for €355 in the city center and for €265 can rent one outside of the city - Basic (Electricity, Heating, Cooling, Water, Garbage) per month would be approx. Rs. 7000 - Internet per month at your home would be approx. Rs. 4000 - Monthly transport pass Rs. 4600. One way bus tickets would be Rs. 190 - 1 kg of rice = Rs. 100 / 1L milk = Rs. 90 / 1 kg apples = Rs. 210 - Monthly fee for fitness club would be Rs. 4000 Share | RT Story by @jashkriplani Image credit @ActusDei

@gokulns Can it be covered by public transportation?

Spots: - Partnach Gorge - Eibsee - Füssen - Hohenschwangau - Neuschwanstein - Königsee - Zugspitze - Salzburg Shot on iPhone, except for the Zugspitze pic which was on my Meta Ray Ban 😀

@vinayjn7 Any suggestions on podcast channels ?

While travelling in public transport, I’ve started listening to podcasts instead of rap music. I feel cool and smarter. Productivity and self awareness have improved. Aura is through the roof.
