Let me introduce to you this guy in the right most of image - Mukesh. We release an order on him today for some major automation of our production line.
His father was an ice cream seller. And everyday would lose money as ice creams would melt. He used to go to some govt school but never enjoyed being there. He quit school and joined a small workshop as a peon serving tea to visitors
Almost 11/2 years back we were searching for someone to make hydraulic fixtures for precision production to automate a production line. I googled and found his page on FB. Asked my team to call him. When I first met him was shocked as he looked more like a shop floor helper.
He gave me his visiting card and he had copied apple logo as his companies. But his tremendous expertise on design of hydraulics and tooling and his command on Cad cam design softwares was amazing. I asked him his story because his highest education was class VII
So his mother used to give him 10 Rs everyday for lunch. He skipped lunch and gave that money to a local cyber cafe. He started learning designing, Aurocad, Pro E and other Cad Cam softwares of his own. Also making website etc while working as peon in that small factory
All his khali time as peon he used to stand on the machines and learn whatever he could. Gradually he became a helper and than machine operator and Forman in that workshop. Then he started designing fixtures and started his own workshop
Today he employs 13 engineers in his workforce of 30 people with a revenue of 4Cr. We released a major order on him today and with his design we expect to increase our productivity by over 100%. India is so full of such talented entrepreneurs.
His biggest problem was visibility. The big corporates would not trust him or his work. This is the problem with most #smallbusiness. Always support #smallstreamers. Some of them will deliver much more and better than big corporates. Trust them.

Lot of people ask how to approach running. Most people set out on unplanned jogs. Many start to get injuries or pain and leave it. Running is a wonderful form of sport. Here are some of the things that has helped me and will help any beginner.
Warm up & Cool down – Warmups minimize your risk for injuries. Jog for a comfortable 8-10 mins before starting your run. Do some dynamic warmup exercises – Walking lunges, knee hugs, Straight leg kicks, Ankle pulls, high knees, butt kicks, lateral shuffle.
After your run cool down with 5-10 min jog to flush the lactic acid out of your legs. Foam roll to reduce soreness and will help you keep your muscles getting knots. There are many videos on YouTube to show how to foam roll

One morning every month I spend checking out what my savings is doing and any thing needs to be done. It’s frustrating to see that for every 100 Rs I earn, I hardly get 50% to spend. Rest all goes to various direct and indirect taxes. Some tips to create wealth
The smartest thing I ever did, financially, was decide to save a percentage of each salary. I began by putting 10% and gradually increasing as salary increased. Every month without fail. Never to pull out of that fund. The first time I used that fund was for sons wedding.
You make sudden more money and splurge. This can create a problem. So be careful with your spending even if you’re suddenly making more than you thought you would. You also will be unhappy if you chase temporary pleasure with money. Try to live just below your means, than above.

31 years into the marriage and still happy in the relationship certainly qualifies me to pass down some free ka relationship gyan to others. This pic last year at Rishikesh. This is first time in three decades we are home for anniversary
1. Have realistic expectations. Happily ever after doesn’t exist. Somedays it’s struggle and somedays u feel like the luckiest person in the world
2. Respect is the most important factor in a relationship. Not love, kids, religion, communication etc etc
3. Talk about everything. Most importantly things that hurt. The key to maintain trust is being transparent to each other.
4. Give each other loads of space. Two healthy individuals make relationship work. Give ur partner freedom and independence. Let them be who they are

That’s how fill a Samosa. Small size so that you can eat 5-6 at least with garam garam masale wali chai
And eight member means eight different varieties. Someone wants without mirchi, someone with only aloo, someone wants peanuts also- so make different sizes to identify. And then they go on air fryer
While the samosas are in the air fryer , jalebis are being made

As we age we get checkup’s done and work on vitamins,precautions &medicines to regulate our system. One problem that we least care is Sarcopenia - muscular atrophy. Post 30 muscle fibers dwindle in size and number and nerves degenerate. The result is loss of power and strength.
As we lose strength we can’t perform basic tasks like rising from a chair, climbing stairs or even walking normally. Increasing feebleness in turn makes people even less active, leading to a vicious cycle of deterioration. Sarcopenia is an epidemic that needs more attention
Various studies confirm that some form of resistance exercises confer significant metabolic benefits. It will help wading off Sarcopenia in old age. Will also help in osteoporosis, cardio vascular health and depression. So PLEASE BRING IN SOME FORM OF RESISTANCE TRAINING

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
