TikTok & India....

I always thought TikTok’s customer/user model felt familiar.

Basically, attractive people are lip-syncing to music and tunes sung by famous performers, and dancing to grooves and beats composed by talented musicians.

That’s what Indian movies – from every state, I may add – have been doing for decades! Looks like China has been encroaching on India’s ‘entertainment territory’ as well.

I bet the lawyers are going to have a field day when the grandest compensation case in history gets filed.

Money...

To make money work for you,
you need to work for money.

Marriage...

When I see people unhappy in marriage – also sad, confused, agitated, regretful – I believe it could be time to rethink some of the words used to describe marriage.

For instance, they aren't 'settled', they're 'disturbed'.

In some cases, they even go insane. I guess that's why they call marriage an 'institution'.

Live...

Too often in our attempts to live for others, we forget to live for ourselves.

Doors...

"Don't stand staring at closed doors, take the ones that are wide open."

A few days after reading that line, a notorious neighbourhood thief was caught. It became a win-win for everyone.

Exercise Names...

When I see people doing push-ups, I can't help but wonder if they should technically be called push-downs.

Freedom...

Everyone, in their own way, pursues freedom and independence. But those who attain that rare gift are soon clothed in suspicion.

They are silently looked upon with a tinge of envy, a sprinkling of stupidity, and a generous helping of hate.

Energy...

Everything is Energy.
The shapes form later.

Inner Self...

Your self-love and self-worth shouldn't change because someone somewhere thought less of you.

Spotlight your inner self often so you don't forget who you are after people start judging you from a faraway position of haste, hate, and hegemony.

Being Yourself...

It's such a relaxing experience not being bothered by the things that people expect you to be bothered by.

It's even more calming not to react or emote to the things that people presume you should react or emote to.

Not being who others want you to be is a sign that you're being yourself.
