“All war is a symptom of man’s failure as a thinking animal.” — John Steinbeck John Steinbeck’s observation is not merely a condemnation of war; it is a devastating critique of humanity’s self-image. It strikes at the root of our collective pride—the belief that we are rational, intelligent, morally progressive beings. By describing war as a failure , Steinbeck shifts the discussion away from inevitability and destiny and places it squarely in the realm of responsibility. War

I did not abandon non-vegetarian food because a scripture instructed me to. I did not stop because of fear, purity, reward, or punishment. I stopped because something within me no longer agreed . This change did not arrive suddenly or dramatically. It came slowly, almost gently—through discomfort rather than debate, through unease rather than ideology. After eating non-vegetarian food, my body began to protest in quiet ways: heaviness, restlessness, and a sense that something

In the world of investing, noise is abundant, but wisdom is scarce. Markets move every second, headlines change every hour, and opinions flood investors daily. Amidst this constant activity, a dangerous illusion is created—that successful investing requires frequent action, flawless accuracy, and constant monitoring. In truth, nothing could be further from reality. Stock market investing is not a competition of speed or prediction; it is a discipline of patience. Those who un

In stock investing, success is often portrayed as an act of brilliance—finding the next multibagger, spotting the hidden gem before the crowd, or concentrating capital in a few “high-conviction” ideas.

“There exists a significant gap between teaching practices and actual learning outcomes.” This statement, though uncomfortable, captures the central crisis of contemporary education in India. Classrooms are full, syllabi are completed, examinations are conducted, and certificates are distributed. Yet, genuine learning—deep understanding, independent thinking, creativity, and intellectual courage—remains distressingly rare. Teaching happens, but learning often does not. This g

In the world of investing, few lines are quoted as often—and misunderstood as deeply—as Vijay Kedia’s powerful statement: “A single stock can change your life. ” At first glance, it appears like a bold, risky, even dangerous idea. Can one stock truly alter the course of an ordinary person’s life? Can a single investment rewrite a family’s financial destiny? To answer these questions, one must travel through history, study wealth creators, understand the psychology of markets,

For centuries, human beings have looked at the stars, the mountains, and the living world around them with a sense of wonder and fear. In their ignorance, they attributed all the mysteries of existence to invisible powers and supernatural forces. Out of that fear arose religion — humanity’s earliest attempt to explain what it could not yet understand. But as civilization evolved, so did our intellect. Science emerged as the torchbearer of reason, replacing myth with evidence,

In the restless world of markets, where prices flicker every second and news feeds overflow with predictions, one simple principle stands serene amid the chaos — “Buy and Forget.” It is not merely an investment strategy; it is a philosophy of life . It reflects a temperament grounded in patience, trust, and human faith. Those who understand it do not merely chase wealth — they nurture it, the way one nurtures a tree: quietly, steadily, and without anxiety. The Restless Mind v
