When I look back at last 20 years of my life, we fought 6 cancer cases in the closest family- Mom,Dad, Grandmom, Sister, Nephew, Mom In law. Many more in the extended family. And we won all these battles. Some lessons
1) It can happen to anyone. None were into any form of addiction. 2) Money is an important component for survival. Get a big insurance. And insurance alone cannot help. In nephews brain tumour case when best Docs here had no solution, we went to US for a year long treatment
So be thrifty in ur young days. Create wealth. Don’t splurge. 3) Family together is most important. I can’t emphasise enough on it’s importance to fight the disease. 4) Stay positive. Every moment. When happy and when in pain. Don’t try to win sympathy with ur sadness
And I am available 24X 7 to guide and talk in case God forbid you have to face these times. They are painful moments. Be strong. My email Id is there on bio. Always look upstream. Regular checkup for early detection is sure shot way to fight it out.

I am not someone who believes in diet. Historical data also shows 95% of people who diet to lose weight regain their weight in 1-5 years. Diets are not sustainable. Because they r restrictive in nature. Restrictive mentality does not work. 1/5
People eating less cause more harm to themselves. You know 70% of your calorie burn out are devoted to paying for the most basic needs of your bodies at rest. As I write these tweet, there is little visible evidence but every one of my body’s systems is working industriously..2/5
to keep me alive. My heart is contracting sixty times a minute to pump blood to every corner of my body, my intestines are digesting my last meal, my liver and kidneys are regulating and filtering my blood, my fingernails are growing, my brain is processing these words,..3/5
As so many people reading The Psychology of Money these days, I thought I will share what I have done since the years. I am neither a financial advisor nor our goals and ways can be same. But I believe general values remain same
1. I have always lived well below my means. When I migrated here and had a meagre salary, never asked for money from my family which was well to do.We don’t pull out of wealth to live. Remember if u buy iPhone 12 pro you may look rich but u will be less wealthy by 1.3 Lacs.
2. I am averse to debt. Except for taking loan for buying one house to live I keep debt away. That also was repaid as fast as possible. No loan for more real estate investment or personal expenses or holidays.
Take a moment. Imagine yourself 25 years from now. Some of u would be retired. Some of u might be visualising urself enjoying at a holiday home with family. Some maybe CEO of a corporate or a high flying entrepreneur. Some as political leader or religious guru. 1/6
Your goals and aspirations may differ but am sure nobody paints themselves as obese, someone who can’t bend to tie their shoes. Someone so frail that getting up from a chair becomes a Herculean task. Yes as you age your hairs will thin, u will have wrinkles,2/6
your steps aren’t quiet springy, but imagine no wheelchairs, no canes. Whatever u r doing, u r doing with the energy of someone half ur age. Your body isn’t standing on your way. How am I so sure? Because I am living, breathing proof..3/6
Let me share an incidence when technology takes over common sense this is what happens. Tell me what precautions will you take to prevent such type of errors and losses.
So a washer was needed for an assembly.The cost of the washer is Rs.3. The buyer by error made the PO in SAP for 300 Rs which he later blames on keyboard malfunctioning. The PO goes for approval to Sr Manager and in their busy schedule they never bother to check them and approve.
The PO then automatically is mailed to vendor. Understand this assembly is worth over 20L and the washer is not even there in audit list as it’s a cheap commodity. The vendor is over smart and he starts sending his supplies at 300 Rs.
I study a lot on fitness related things and it has been my bad that I never studied about breathing. Thanks to the Chinese virus everybody now is talking of breathing. And this led me to do some reading about it. I read somewhere that respiratory health is directly related ...
...to Covid survivors. Breathing for us is a passive action. We just do. The day it stops we die. How we breathe is important for our health, longevity and happiness. I have been following correct breathing techniques for last few months and see a huge improvement. ...
.. My sleeping patterns are much better. I am 80-90% time in deep sleep. My RHR is improving further. I have got much better in my running. My energy levels through out the day are very good. Here are some pointers
15 ways to trains smart. 1) Do less and do it better. By default we tend to do more if we are not seeing results. Don’t overtrain. 2) Do more free weight and compound exercises. They give u more bang for your buck. Machines are great and helps u to lift heavier.
..but free weights use stabiliser muscles to engage. Prefer dumbbells, barbells, kettlebells over machines. 3. Prefer compound exercises more than isolation ones. 4. Set a goal - you should be aware if u want to gain size or endurance. 5. Set a schedule - Aim to work ...
.. 4-5 days in a week. Time is not important, quality and composition of exercises is. 6. Don’t train the same muscle group on simultaneous days. Recovery is very important. 7. Proper form is must. Make sure u r doing your training in a proper form. 8. Avoid doing too...
