Meanwhile podcast with Raj Shamani on Figuring Out Media & Education reaches 1 M views on YouTube. So glad to know so many people have invested into learning more about Emotional Intelligence. Have you watched the podcast yet?

People who have never left their hometown tend to have the strongest opinions about how to live life.

If you are a thinker, have the courage to do. If you are a doer, have the courage to think.

Indians will create entirely new systems of pseudoscience but still not take mental health seriously.

You feel stuck because you are prioritising the certainty your current story gives you over the life you want to build for yourself.

Rumination and intellectualising are just two sides of the same coin. Both keep you stuck in your head, avoiding what you actually feel. You don’t need more analysis. You need contact. Name the emotion, sit with it, and let the body process what the mind keeps circling around.

Being vulnerable around wrong people is like bleeding around sharks.

Unpopular opinion: Compatibility isn’t built on shared hobbies, it’s built on shared non-negotiables. You can adapt to their taste in music, but not on mismatched values like honesty, money, conflict patterns. That’s where things either work or break. Choose wisely.

Oxytocin increases through shared goals more than never ending talks. Go for walks, cook together, clean together, build together.

FOMO isn’t just about missing out- it’s often a silent cry for acceptance. But instead of showing up as vulnerability, it usually wears the mask of pride, power, or fame. The truth? Pride impresses on the surface. Vulnerability connects at the core.

Vulnerability is respected only when it comes from strength. Lead it with weakness and it feels like being needy. Express it with control and it builds trust. The goal isn’t to shut down emotion, it’s to be composed enough that even your softness is grounded and intentional.

You cannot enjoy the perks of intimacy without taking risk of vulnerability.

The intimacy of opening up about your feelings and thoughts that were buried deep inside with someone who understands and listens to them without any judgement, acknowledges them and does not make you feel like you're too much is everything you can ask for.

In different phases of your life, you will be tempted to show the world that you’re doing well, it’s important you resist performing for an audience that isn’t watching you at all.

If you think you are too obvious and predictable in front of others, chances are that you react very quickly to your emotions and it eventually shows up in how your face as well as behaviour. Be more aware of your emotions to know how it impacts you and how it’s perceived.

You are “brutally honest”- Great. I hope you are brutally honest about the good stuff, I hope you compliment people’s positive traits and behaviours too. And I really hope your honesty doesn’t only come out when you have something negative on your mind.

The art of not being ready and doing it anyway will take you further than you ever imagined.

The true test of character is how you treat people who have less power than you.
