Maxx is maxxing, Bicep is biceping, Life isn't lifying tho.

Average techy wrapping up the work on a Saturday night.

You might know me because some of my shitpost came to your feed or maybe you benefited from some of the initiatives I started. But what you probably don't know is that at times, I vanish from socials completely. Frankly, that's when the real work happens. That's when the actual…
After paying exorbitant taxes, all I ask for is a basic necessity- electricity. But for some reason, our regimes still treat it like a luxury, stuck in a colonial hangover. Try to take matters into your own hands; buy a genset, and you're slapped with GST. Run it, and fuel…
Often when I feel like giving up, I remind myself that in the past 9 years, I haven't broken a single promise I made to myself. And today won't be the first. That streak alone is often all the motivation I need to keep going. Always honoring the promises you make to yourself is…
Opened LinkedIn after a while and was surprised to see hundreds of messages, mostly asking for referrals, but quite a few reaching out with genuine opportunities from remote startups to big tech. It feels like the market is picking up again. The opportunity you've been waiting…
Lately schedule has pretty productive and most of it has been due to incorporating physical activities first thing in the morning and last thing before bed. - Start my day with a heavy workout. - Work relentlessly the entire day. - End it with a 5KM run followed by a hot…

Tesla is priced 2x in India compared to USA. People might complain about it, but there are several perks you get in India (but not in the US), such as messed up infrastructure, roads full of potholes and constant fear of roadrage or a thar guy randomly crushing you because he…

I think I have successfully transitioned from nicotine addiction to caffeine addiction. 🤷♂️

Time to get rid of at least some brain rot. Gonna delete a couple of em. Suggestions ?

For some reason, apple upgrades never seem like a waste of money.

My doggo has no clue that am milking views on his identity.

"Even vegetatians can build a decent physique without stressing too much over diet and with no supplementation" - said my vegetarian friend who uses anabolics and still can't match half my lifts.
if you're getting the dopamine hit from scrolling social media and not from all the hard work and hustle- you're NGMI.
I know I'm pretty bad at promoting my own work- but I just came across a comment that took me back. Back to the days when I used to upload regularly on YouTube. The videos may not have had flashy thumbnails or clickbait titles, but they genuinely helped people not the masses,…

2 best ways of building generation wealth in India prolly are: 1. Building your own SaaS (generate wealth by providing convenience to rich). 2. Being a government contractor (generate wealth by scamming everyone while earning the taxes paid by the poor).
I've been into fitness for nearly a decade now, and trust me when I say this- most people overcomplicate their workouts just to feel like they're doing something "advanced". However this complexity itself often gets in the way of consistency and results. You don't need a fancy…

If I had to start all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. I'd still do it the exact same way: - Spend the first few months (or even years) grinding relentlessly- in the gym or on the ground. That's where discipline, willpower, and a "can-do" attitude are forged; traits that…
