RESPONSES TO LAST WEEK'S QUESTION
Last week I asked you:
Do you celebrate 31st December?
For most of you, celebrating NY Eve seems like just another house party. Very few (<15%) go out either in their own city or outside.
What is interesting is the share of folks who do celebrate. Seems to grow with age, while still remaining at home.
My answer:
I do not celebrate NY Eve. Have not been doing it for the past 7-8 years now. At nearbuy, NY Eve used to be our biggest business day, so I used to be monitoring that. Post nearbuy, we tend to sleep by 930pm, like any other normal day. It was the same this year too :)

My marks didn't define me The Class 12th CBSE Board results were announced this week. And every year, this time around, I recall my 12th Class mark sheet. I was really good at Maths and Physics. And I didn't score as much as I thought I would. I was one of the school toppers in English. And scored one of the lowest in school. Chemistry was my weakest subject and I scored the highest. I laugh at these scores today. Actually, I laugh at how I reacted that day. I was sad, and I was also mad. I...
I got lucky! 6 things that I believe defined 99% of where I am in life today. 1/ I was born male. 2/ I was born fair-skinned.3/ I was born to parents who went to college. 4/ I was sent to an English medium school.5/ I was raised in a big city (Delhi).6/ I was born in a Hindu Brahmin family. Think about it. I had nothing to do with any of these 6 things - and yet, in the time and era that I was born in, these 6 things set me up in massive ways. It would be pompous for me to think that it was...
7 lessons for your career 1/ If people can't trust you, it doesn't matter how smart you are. 2/ Write your emails assuming everybody will read them. 3/ Don't be in a hurry to create impact. Be in a hurry to learn. 4/ Early in your career, pick a job where you learn the most, regardless of the money. Learning compounds faster than money! 5/ Never trust your memory. Write everything down. 6/ A great way to set yourself up for success is to do more after you are finished doing what you were told...
