Personal Diary

29th May, 2022

 I normally begin the day by uttering the name of the Lord . These are some of the mantras dedicated to Lord Krishna. After swallowing in my thyroid medicines I begin my walk on my driveway. There is a gentle light breeze flowing and green trees abound. I now turn into my favourite past time. These are a lovely collection of books in pdf format which I transfer into my Voice Aloud Reader. 

As the reader is set on I synchronize it into my walk which also has a step counting software. This morning I was carried away by George Orwell's Down and Out. His life in Paris and the trouble he took to get acquainted to the environment and to take up the job as a cleaner in a hotel. His magical words and the living description of Paris takes me into a different world and I forget the ticking clock and the steps we cross as I look into the Samsung app which tells me how many calories I have brushed aside. Today I was a also reading a book Happiness Success . It is a research on positive psychology and how social creatures both do better in health  and their worklife , personal lives too.

During the course of the day I caught up reading some great essays and short stories . Some short stories were award winning this year . 

Elated also by the visit of my sister in law , her kid and her parents. Always a delight to have relatives over and going out for lunch with them. This was a cool Chinese fare and the chicken bough was a steal. 

 

I need to pack my bag too for the upcoming trip to Varanasi over the weekend. 

Today is my nephew's birthday too and we shall be out for dinner tonite.

How to Get Rich (Without Getting Lucky) by Naval Ravikant

  Naval’s philosophy is not about quick schemes, but building wealth through leverage, self-awareness, and long-term thinking . His ideas were first shared on Twitter and expanded in podcasts and interviews. 💡 Core Principles: 1. Seek Wealth, Not Money or Status Wealth = assets that earn while you sleep (businesses, products, media). Money = a tool for transferring wealth. Status = a zero-sum game (if someone wins, another loses). 🔑 2. Play Long-Term Games with Long-Term People Build relationships with people known for integrity. Reputation compounds like capital. 🛠 3. Learn to Build and Sell “If you can build it, you can create wealth. If you can sell it, you can monetize it.” Learn specific knowledge (unique skills that feel like play to you, but are valuable to others). Combine with accountability , leverage , and judgment . 🧠 4. Arm Yourself with Specific Knowledge Not taught in school, often discovered through curiosity and per...
