Even if you smell like Shahrukh Khan, how will your colony aunties know unless they’ve hugged him recently? And if they have, you’ve already lost the game.

We all grew up solving x without thinking of solvi for “Why”. Scored full marks in integration, and still couldn’t integrate our dreams with our decisions. This isn’t a rant against education—it’s a gentle roast of how we often follow the map so well, we forget to check if it’s our map at all.

But what if I told you the real secret sauce isn’t some magic mantra or a hidden formula from a motivational guru? What if it’s simpler, more fundamental? It’s confidence. Yes, you heard that right. Confidence first, then

Our minds are like fire hoses on full blast, spraying a thousand thoughts a minute. And trust me, I’m not about to tell you to meditate it all away. What if, instead of wrestling with this mental chaos, we just… wrote it down? Or, better yet, WhatsApped it to ourselves.
