Beyond Horizons...

If you are looking for an opportunity, you will find one. If you are looking for a challenge, you will find one. If you are looking for reasons to do things, you will find many. If you are looking for reasons to not do things, you will find at least many. If you are looking for an excuse, you will find one. Thing is now or later you will find what you are looking for. So be thoughtful of what you are looking for. 

It always helps to plan. Only to a extent where you no longer can follow a plan, or plan can't follow you. 😜 I am aware of both the situations, have gone through and came out little scathed and little more strong.  In the world of distractions, attention seeking mind, thinking ahead is not new to any of us. In fact we think so much ahead, that it paralyzes us. Anxiety, stress and worry of problems that are yet to occur. What if market crashes, what if there is another economic slump, what if something bad happens to my loved ones, what if people laugh at my decisions. All what if's pretty much before arrival of actual problem. (In fact more often non occurring problem) I am at that junction where there was a plan, there was a milestone and there was also an obstacle. Only thing I thought I had sometime to remove obstacle. This time plan worked faster, and it is making me think about obstacle earlier than I thought. I am sure this will be another interesting challenge and anoth

If asked, where the focus should be? Obvious answer to this is present.  All that is happening is now,  Actions are in present. Hence  your focus should also be on now.  Though your actions are determined by mindset, which can be future focused or present focused. Actions taken that will have outcomes for better in future are from future focused mindset. E.g. Exercise, avoiding sugar, saving money are actions happening now, though results are in future.  Similarly watching a movie, partying, playing with kids, cooking are actions happening now and outcomes are also in present being happy, elevated now.  There are benefits, there are downfalls of both choices. The choices that occur from mindset being future focused or present focused. Actions are always present focused. What we need to pay attention to is, where actions are coming out from. Future focused or present focused mind? Please share your thoughts. Comment here. 👇

Being well physically, mentally, financially, emotionally and socially is important to us. We #thrive to get better at each of these aspects everyday.  Being well allows to live and work to our fullest potential. That is what is all about isn't it? To live and become our best selves. It allows us to produce our best work, it allows us to be better human for others.  'Conscious building of wellness' is underrated. People consider being well as a luxury. Misconstrued self care aspect of wellness sometimes is also looked at as selfishness. Possibly that is why wellness did not became mainstream as it should have been.  Wellness is a superpower. Whoever has this superpower is building future. People who are healthy physically, mentally, are thinking well, doing good work so earning well. These people are able to think beyond their own needs. They are able to think of needs of their families, communities. Which will result into building social wellness. Lack of any aspect of w

Have you ever heard words like 'Idiot-proof', 'fool-proof'?  These are pretty common if you are in Product building, Software making, UI Design or anything to do with someone using what you've made. I never liked these terms. Not that I believed users are not idiots, but I believe we all are idiots and it is not fair  to call only users as idiots. So whenever I build apps, I like to think that I am building apps for a Fish . Why Fish? Have you seen fish in water? Its a treat to eyes and to your soul. They flow. They make you feel being in water, swimming the way they are swimming is the only way of being. Natural and Obvious.  It keeps you grounded while you make #product #design for any set of users thinking fish in mind. You tend to think in terms of flows. natural flows for your users. Using, navigating and taking actions using your app should be as easy and trouble-free as fish in the water.  I am not claiming all the apps I are perfect and liked equally by user

Wellness and Wellbeing of my own and my loved ones is one of the important things I care about.  These two are different terms, I came to know about this in 2017 when I started driving Employee Wellness in my previous job. In simpler terms, Wellness is a set of habits and behaviors to ensure good physical and mental health. Wellbeing is a state of a mind. It is a broader term covering happiness(whatever that is). How people feel about their lives, purpose and meaning.  Wellness is multidimensional. It is all about Physical, emotional, mental, financial and social health. In a way, when you take care of wellness, you take care of your wellbeing. Happiness differs for individuals, while it may revolve around same structures, priorities might differ. It is important for each one of us to understand what track of wellness is important for us which will lead to our wellbeing. For some people, it might be money, for some it might be meaningful work, for others it is meaningful relations.  20

There is no doubt, if one decides one can move mountains.  Having said that, any journey worthwhile, creating something meaningful is not for a faint hearted. What makes this journey more fulfilling, bearable and fun is people with whom we have this journey. You travel faster alone, but farther together. People who collaborate well are more effective than each one of them working independently. B ecause working together , --> we hold each other accountable --> means complimenting each others strengths --> we cover each other's blind spots --> we overthink less and act more --> allows us to take more challenges, Bigger challenges --> we learn from one another to be better version of ourselves --> we have more fun #Build Together. #Build Each Other.  As old Indian saying goes, 1 + 1 = 11 Share your thoughts.

Who decides to start on their own in the midst of pandemic? --> Apparently there are many like me.  It gives me hope, comfort and strength.  What made me choose this journey? is a frequent question I get these days. If answers can be simple, it is to build something meaningful, work with wonderful people and learn in the process. Building something is very important to me. It has always been. I have been building products for all of my professional career.  I am in perpetual knowledge building phase. I look for opportunities to build people , and any way I can contribute to it. I love to build meaningful friendships . I love to build community of like minded people.  I am having lots of conversations with other founders these days. It is simply amazing. I am in awe of these people, their ideas, their sincerity and their courage. Energy is very infectious. All this makes me happy about my chosen path. It may not be simple, it may not be easy, it definitely would not be quick. But
