It’s a beautiful day. I’m grateful to have a balcony where I can sit, meditate, and watch the sunset. Weeks like this remind me how much small spaces and small moments matter.
🏋️ Health
Health-wise, this week was actually a +1, and I’m relieved to say that. I went to meet didi for chilling, talking, and healing — and that alone fixed a lot of things inside me. I met her when I first shifted to Mumbai, but she has known me since I was a kid. I have very blur memories of that time — me and my friends playing — but I know she was always there. Sitting in a place where I could say, “this feels like home,” was a very beautiful feeling. I spent almost the whole day with didi and jiju, and honestly, it healed my entire bimari-waala week.
My health reports also came in, and they were good. According to ChatGPT I had cholesterol issues, but the doctor said everything is okay — so I’m trusting the doctor. Because of this, I consciously spent more on eating good food this week — not outside junk, but proper food. I also ate my first salad bowl ever and, surprisingly, found it super tasty. That itself felt like growth.
🧠 Brain Motivation
I started reading Deepinder Goyal’s book, and there’s a moment where the writer asks him how he feels after reaching where he is. His answer was simple, almost blunt. And that stayed with me. It made me reflect on where I want to be not just reach, but stay. I want to stay more focused than ever. I trigger myself every day to build what I believe in. Some days it feels heavy, but I genuinely believe it will compound.
💻 Work
This was a very, very important week at work. The BG pipeline we’re building can genuinely change the movie, music, and overall content ecosystem. It feels like you put a potato on one side and gold comes out on the other. That’s how powerful it is.
We worked till 12 most days, but I loved it. New challenges, new experiences, and most importantly — the right people. Brainstorming sessions where everyone got a chance to speak, even with a decade of age gap in the room. I could feel the dopamine, the trigger, the excitement of what’s coming. This is exactly the kind of room I want to be in.
One lesson hit me hard this week. A person not even from marketing — explained something so simply that it shook me. He said:
“Whatever you make, how you promote it is how it sells.”
I was like, what the f*ck.
Everyone talks about his attitude, but honestly — he deserves it. That clarity, that understanding of how business actually runs — I loved that energy.
📖 Learning
The biggest learning this week was about complacency. I’m definitely going to write more about this later. I want to stay sharp. I want to stay hungry. I want to stay uncomfortable enough to grow. I trigger myself every day to not settle, and I hope this intensity only increases.
Another personal learning came from the weekend. I consciously turned things off. It was hard mentally torturing at times but I held it. I listened to Masoom Sharma and Dhanda Nyoliwala just to calm myself down. I won’t go deep into it, but I learned a lot about control. I have this personal theorem now: outwardly, I’ll keep things at zero. But if someone becomes –1 in my head, that energy is gone. I’ll still act neutral, but internally I’ll wait. Till March.
📚 A Line from a Book (and beyond)
“Khoob bhagna, khoob daudna —
par rukna wahan,
jahan tumhara mann kare.”
I read this somewhere, and it perfectly describes what clarity looks like. Run hard, chase big, but stop only where your heart agrees.
☕ Small Wins
I finally set up my entire table and work desk — the last batch from IKEA. Now I can genuinely say, this is my room. I’m still not fully satisfied, but that urge to keep building is alive. And honestly, I love that feeling.

✍️ A Poem by Me
Kaise bataun kitne khwaab the mere,
jo reh gaye peeche tujhe paane mein.
Kuch reh gaye chaahne mein,
aur tune kaha — iss hasi se kya hota hai?
Meaning / Reflection:
This poem is about loss, ambition, and quiet sacrifice. About dreams left behind while chasing something — or someone — and the realisation that not everything lost can be replaced by a smile.
💭 Closing Thoughts
This week was full of energy at work, healing at home, and clarity in the mind. I loved the momentum, and I’m genuinely excited to see what’s coming next. Something is building — slowly, deeply, intentionally.
And I’m ready for it.
