  (Generative AI Ghibli snap ) Finance , is just one out of my blog series Anatomy Of Habits , which explores the financial aspects of my habits and how they intricately working with other aspects to bring realities to my financial goals. Let's start with simple question of why i felt writing this.   WHY ?  Finance is a key factor in living a good life, alongside health. A strong financial foundation shields us from debts & instability and offers social recognition. However, money is a double-edged sword with its own set of rules. As per PwC & Perfio's research, majority of Indians spend one-third of their monthly income just to pay off loans. That's concerning. Fortunately, I am not one of them. Take, for example, a close friend of mine who started his tech career at the same time as I did. By the time he got married, he had only accumulated one-third of my total assets—and that too he spent every bit in it, ending up at square one. I man...

Let's start with habits & achievements to add weightage to this blog. I have been exercising consistently for the past 6 years, ran half-marathons, cycled 100km couple of times, motorcycled entire nation (except North-East) during lock-down, done numerous treks, been to major religious places across the country. Also habituated with novel reading from last 7 years, practicing quick meditations (before & after bed) and worshiping just after the bath. Starting from 2024, included Digital-Fasting-Days (DFDs) to minimize digital penetration. Interestingly I have adopted all these though raised in a rural family with no trace of any goal-based value system. How did I pull that off? Secrets of Active Lifestyle , is just one out of my blog series Anatomy Of Habits , which explores the physical aspects of my habits. Lets dive in. Why it started In 2019, just after finishing a 2 km running event at Hussain Sagar Lake in Hyderabad, I felt drained out with exhaustion. Though being ra...

(My rider somewhere in the middle of Thar desert, Rajasthan) Not just travel, I always had this dream to experience our Incredibly diverse country. When I say experience, I mean staying at places for an extended time, indulging in local culture, cuisine, language, customs, beliefs, geography and its people. And I did. I had travelled 25000km all alone across India in 3 phases including 20000km motorcycle(RE Himalayan) ride with an estimated cost of 250000 INR that took 1.5 years to complete that too even working parallelly without a single unpaid leave. Considering the distance and time span, the expenditure is quite low provided that tourism is an expensive affair. This is so low that, a 2-day MAKE-MY-TRIP curated Kashmir plan is estimated to be 40k, a 5-day Kashmir package through a travel agency cost my friend(+wife) 75k, but I had executed my month-long Kashmir exploration in just 18k. Insane right! How did I pull that? The Way I Travelled , is just one out of my blog series Anatom...
