The Quiet Power of Persistence — How Success Is Built One Step at a Time
Success is one of the most misunderstood words in our world today. Many people think it’s about luck, wealth, or overnight fame. But real success — the kind that lasts — is built slowly, quietly, through persistence, discipline, and belief in oneself even when no one else is watching.

Self-Reliance Isn’t Defiance
Creative Response: My Journey Toward Self-Reliance Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote, “Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string” (Self-Reliance). Those words have echoed through the most defining moments of my life, even before I ever read them. To me, self-reliance has never been about arrogance or pride— it’s about integrity, discernment, and the courage to stand firm when conformity feels easier. My journey toward self-reliance has been tested in many ways, but three moments stand out: my time in the Navy when I was stationed in Spain, a church social justice meeting that tested my self-expression, and my decision to trust my intuition during the COVID-19 pandemic. Each moment shaped my understanding that the most sacred voice is the one that rises from within.

Many founders believe experience makes everything easier, yet each new journey brings fresh lessons. The second venture is not just a repeat; it is a test of evolution. It teaches what worked before and what must change for future success. Every failure, success, and delay shapes how a founder approaches their next big idea.

The Day I Worked with Shahrukh Khan
The Day I Worked with Shahrukh Khan I was never supposed to be there. That morning, I woke up in a tiny apartment in Andheri, counting the coins in a metal box to see if I could afford tea and a vada pav. Mumbai had a strange way of humbling people. I came here two years ago with dreams of becoming an actor. But dreams don’t pay rent — auditions don’t feed hunger — and I was already close to giving up.

Out with the Old - In with the New (For We Are the Only Solution)
When one season ends, another begins. It does not do to dwell on the past and forget to live. Sometimes letting go is best, no matter how much it hurts. Adios to the negative influences, to those who gain satisfaction from tearing you down, those who envy your joy and work tirelessly to see it fly away.
