    Wealthsimple: What Happens When You Own the Door But Want to Own the House

    A Note Before We Begin: I need to be clear about something from the start: I’m a huge admirer of what Wealthsimple has built and the work Michael Katchen and his team have been doing. I’ve been following your journey for years, the product evolution, the marketing campaigns, the social content, the way you’ve challenged…

    Justin Welsh: The Solopreneur Who Proves More Than He Claims

    Note Before We Begin: This analysis exists because I’ve been watching Justin Welsh’s work for years and genuinely admire what he’s built. The consistency. The refusals. The quiet proof. It’s rare to see someone walk away from easy money because it doesn’t fit how they want to live. I wrote this because I love looking…

  • The Recovery Paradox: What WHOOP Proves Without Saying

    The Recovery Paradox: What WHOOP Proves Without Saying

    Note Before We Begin: This analysis comes from a place of genuine admiration. I’ve been watching WHOOP for years. Will Ahmed’s podcast appearances, the company’s content, and the way they’ve built something that clearly matters to the athletes and performers who wear it. There’s a rare discipline in what they’ve created. Most companies would have…

  • Dear Indian Women

    I wish to congratulate you from the bottom of my heart for your new found self-image. The new Indian woman is liberated, powerful, ballsy, daring, commanding, in-charge, leader of the wolf-pack and most importantly driven by this inner radiance of rebel (so so sexy). The submarine of sexual revolution under the sea of society has…

  • All meaningful relationships begin by letting go

    Drop your stinking preachy socks in the laundry, walk the bitch of society in a park of could-care-less [no leashes, please.], sip on a hot cup of calm-the-fuck-down and drop the burden of the bubble-wrap-world off your shoulders. In other words, free your mind of any preconceived animations of what “are” and “could” be ten-on-ten…

  • What telephones and dating women have in common?

    Not so long ago, one had to book a telephone connection and wait [by the window, biscuit dipped in tea] for months before a lineman appeared for the installation. On the day, one would organize a party serving only cheap liquor and show-off the magical device. But, no one you knew had a phone so…

  • Book Review: Blink by Malcolm Gladwell

    After reading Blink I began to connect the dots. Ten minutes later I was proud of a giraffe. [Advertising & Jobs] I had been sitting at my corner desk, brandished with a self-imposed designation OCD (Oddly Creative Director) on the pin-up board, surfing in a paradoxical wave of ideas. *Or daydreaming porn in other words.…

  • School days in prison

    Ever heard people rant about how they loved their school days, and if they’d get a chance to go back in time, they’d do it in a blink of an eye. Well, that is certainly not my case. I dreaded school, the very thought of school, even now, makes my stomach hurl – sickening, really.…

  • On Writing by Stephen King

    I recently – on a flight back to Chandigarh from Mumbai – finished reading Stephen King’s On Writing. It is a memoir of the craft of writing. Surprisingly, we all know King as the author of contemporary horror, suspense, science fiction and fantasy fiction. Which means, you’d expect something similar. Honestly, its nothing like any…

  • Men That Women Should Avoid At All Cost (Volume 1)

    A while back, I had prepared a list of females that men should avoid at all costs. This time around, and due to popular demand, I’ve compiled the antidote. The list of men you’ll read about have either been acquaintances or been known in some way or other. The point is that the list matters,…

  • Top 10 Things To Say When Airtel Broadband Calls

    Are you welcomed by calls from sales-representatives early in the morning, during a client meeting, when you’re out drinking with the boys, while having/making dinner, while negotiating that last bit of fudge on that overtly sundae, doing your homework, filling/evading taxes, baking cookies for your darn kids, strangling your wife (kidding about that last one,…

  • Girls You Wish You Never Met

    Sandy is one the hottest girls in town – her athletic body, long legs and diva-like looks could make any man weak in the knees. At the moment, she’s flaunting her iPhone and Gucci dress that Rahul – the son of the biggest jeweller in town – gifted to her, for being her boyfriend. Can…

  • Twadka

    The trend on the e-street is now all about Twitter. A website using, almost, a global chatting platform to help people connect to others they would not have known otherwise. Companies market jobs, teens talk about their days, and others, just ramble. Hypothetically speaking, lets have everyone living in Chandigarh active on some social networking…

  • Book Review: Why Men Lie and Women Cry

    Recently, on my way to Delhi, at the railway station, I picked up a book: Why Men Lie and Women Cry. I figured the journey was going to be a long one, and my buddies were not exactly up in any mood for conversation. Note: Me and Anish – the guy who thinks he’s intellectually…

  • iPhone flu

    Why the iPhone? Why not Blackberry? Don’t worry, I’ll get to that too, a bit later, though. But first, I have a confession. I think I’ve got the iPhone flu. All I can think of is the iPhone. Be it during work, those odd – chicken and duck – meetings, even when I’m ogling away…
