2025 was really a remarkable year. I learnt, I unlearned, I relearned. I took risk, made mistakes along the way, disappointed, betrayed and lived through hurt and pains but never gave up. At the end of the day, I became wiser and better. I lost many deals, failed many applications but won many others. I saved, I invested, discovered some of my golden shadows. I built something new. Spent sleepless days / nights grinding with inevitable illness. I have come to understand that what doesn't kills you makes you stronger and wiser.

Plan for failure while you prepare for success

peace I chose

Failure is the condiment that gives success it's flavor

the greatest successes comes from having the freedom to fail

all our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them

the distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success

Ignore the noise and stay focused. One day, the world will focus on you.

A moment not prepared for exposes our emotions
