I asked people to share their secrets with me.

A thread...
Every Tuesday, on Instagram, I ask people to ask me anything on a certain topic.
This week, I asked them to share a secret instead.

I wasn't ready for what hit me!
You may have connected with some of these secrets. They may be yours.
But no one knows!

Or they may be secrets of your most loved ones.
But you wouldn't know.
Be kind to people.
Everyone is carrying a load.
As are we!
Let this thread be a reminder to seek help, to live life for our own self, to fall in love with ourselves.

That we don't need to pretend.
We shouldn't have to pretend.

Hugs to all of you.
Thank you for sharing your secrets with me.
I do not take this trust lightly.

10 times I was wrong about the world

A thread...
1.
In school, I was the diligent, studious, obedient kid.
But there were kids around me, who weren't.

And I looked down upon them.
I thought those who smoke, drink, do not study, do not obey, as evil people.

I felt righteous in my approach.
And felt right to judge them!
Most of those kids have gone on to do meaningful things in life.
One of them runs a big chemist shop.
He went out of his way to source meds for my mom during the 2nd wave, when I had lost all hope.

In the end, how you treat people, defines who you truly are!

10 lessons my kids have taught me.

A thread...
Lesson 1:
Stories drive our understanding of the world

As kids, all we heard were stories.
True stories.
Fiction.
Mythology.

And these stories shaped up our worldview.
Our fears, hopes, desires and imagination stems from these stories.
But as grow up, logic takes over.
1+1 becomes 2 and nothing else.
History becomes fact and nothing more.
Nature becomes evolution and nothing beyond.

And we forget how much we loved stories.

We forgot how, hearing stories, makes us go back to who we were!

A story of how YOU helped a girl pay her 2nd year fees for her Computer Science engineering degree.

A thread...
2 weeks back I got an email from Anjali.

Anjali is a Computer Science Engineering student at a top engineering college in Bangalore (not naming it to protect her identity)

She topped her college in the first year.
However, COVID affected her family's financial condition.
She wrote, asking for help.

She shared her grades, the fee schedule, and all other details, in an email that was professional and heartwarming, at the same time.

Her 2nd year fees is 1.35L, due July 4th.

Several months back, I got one of the most powerful and gripping cold emails I have ever got.

The sender was Shuja, a rapper!

3 days back, he outdid himself...
He recorded a rap song for me.
The rap is on my life and I am blown away by his talent and his ability to get attention the right away.

I asked him how I could help
He wanted to sell the rights to the song.
I have asked him to make it into an NFT and I will buy that.
So he is figuring how to do that!

I am excited for Shuja and everyone like him - who doesn't follow a set path.
Instead creates one for themselves!

12 of my favorite purchases in the last 12 months

A thread...
My breakfast everyday is a fruit, greens and nuts smoothie.
After using a traditional mixer, we moved to a NutriBullet Smoothie maker.

My mornings are so joyous now :))

I ordered a lamp for my office and instead of going for a traditional LED bulb, my friend suggested a Smart bulb.

I now have thousands of colors to chose from, brightness and contrast settings, all of which is managed through an app!

Love the feel
