Real talk for real Indians — on travel, careers, money, health, and the everyday grind. No overnight millionaire myths. Just the honest, unfiltered life hacks in India today.
"Beta, top nahi karoge toh life mein kuch nahi banoge!" If you don't top, you won't amount to anything.
For decades, we've been told that to be "successful" in India, you have to be a topper, an IITian, or a celebrity. But if you look closely at the India Growth Story, you'll find it was written by the Average Indian.
Every day, millions of Indians scroll through highlight reels of toppers, startup unicorns, and fitness influencers with six-packs — and quietly wonder what's wrong with them.
Nothing is wrong with them. India has 1.4 billion people. The vast majority earn modest salaries, have bodies that look like bodies, take private jobs, skip the gym sometimes, and go home to families who need them. That's the overwhelming majority of human experience in this country.
For 40 years, I've lived the life of a typical Average Indian. I went to a state-board school, finished my degree with a 60% average score, and landed a campus placement at 21. Today, I'm a tech consultant working in the other AI—Artificial Intelligence.
I live with my parents in a joint family. I'm raising two kids. I've switched 4 jobs in 18 years. On paper, there is nothing "extraordinary" about me.
If you apply consistency to an average life,
the results become extraordinary.
I'm not a pro athlete, yet I've finished over 25 races because I run 80km every month.
I'm not a billionaire, yet I travel and live a premium life because I've mastered the "points and miles" game with 20+ credit cards.
I stayed rooted in a joint family while traveling to over 30 cities across the globe.
I wasn't a "topper" in academics, yet I lead my office teams in the most cutting-edge tech space in the world.
You're not behind. You're average. And average, done with intention, is a pretty extraordinary thing.
