New chapter. New circle. New energy

I’ve officially joined BNI Pragati ... a space that’s less about exchanging cards and more about exchanging intent, trust, and growth

From the first meeting itself, the energy in the room stood out focused, ambitious, and genuinely collaborative

It’s refreshing to be around people who don’t just talk business, but also build each other up

A special mention to Aarti Ahuja, our unstoppable President, who didn’t really give me a choice but to join 😄...glad you did!

And to Saji George, Ravindra Bhatnagar, thanks for making the entry smooth and meaningful

Looking forward to contributing, learning, and building partnerships that actually create value

What’s even better is meeting amazing people who joined with me Pranjal Mishra, VISHAL KUMAR SINGH, Jimmy Kuruvila,now more friends than members

Proof that good business starts with real connections.

Today I realised students use LinkedIn very differently from how we think

When I asked them,
“What do you think LinkedIn is for?”

One said: “Sir… LinkedIn is like Instagram but people behave”

Another said: “Sir… LinkedIn is where people pretend they have their life together 😅

And my favorite:  
“Sir, LinkedIn feels like a place where I’m supposed to be serious, but I don’t know how to be serious” 😭

I didn’t correct them

Because they were not wrong

But here’s the interesting part:
Once they started exploring it with curiosity (not pressure),their entire approach changed

They realised LinkedIn isn’t about:
 ✔️ Job hunting
 ✔️ Perfect grammar
 ✔️ Corporate-sounding bios

It’s actually about:
 🔸 Showing your learning journey
 🔸 Asking better questions
 🔸 Finding people who think like you
 🔸 Sharing one small thing you improved this week

The moment they saw LinkedIn as a playground instead of a performance stage, they opened up

Maybe that’s the advice adults need too

My old networking strategy used to be:
 • Smile politely
 • Firm handshake
 • Exchange business cards
 • Say “Let’s catch up sometime”
 • Then… never catch up 😅

I wasn’t networking..I was just collecting humans like Pokémon cards

Somewhere along the way, things shifted

My new networking strategy looks very different now:

 • Be genuinely curious
 • Ask real questions, not scripted ones
 • Share honestly — even the imperfect parts
 • Follow up like a friend, not a brochure

And surprisingly… that’s when opportunities started showing up naturally

Because at the end of the day 
People don’t connect with your pitch

They connect with you

A lot of people say they “use AI”

But when you watch them, they’re typing random prompts, believing whatever output they get, and sharing sensitive information without thinking twice

AI isn’t dangerous
Careless usage is

In the next few years, the most valuable professionals won’t be the ones who know the most AI tools

They’ll be the ones who know how to:
→ Communicate clearly with AI
→  Detect errors and misinformation
→  Combine human creativity with machine speed
→  Protect their data and privacy

These skills are basic—but they are becoming non-negotiable

Because the world is moving from

 “I use AI sometimes”
 to
 “I can’t work without it”

This carousel breaks down the 4 foundations everyone should master to stay relevant and safe in an AI-first workplace

Must Know AI skills

Economists Are Calling It The Great Freeze

And this time, the reason isn’t recession

It’s AI

Hiring hasn’t just slowed down
It has stopped

Companies aren’t panicking; they’re pausing

Not because they lack money, but because they’re rethinking roles:

Do we need 10 analysts, or will 3 + AI do the same work?
Do we hire content teams, or automate half of it?
Do we build large support teams, or deploy AI agents?

This is not downsizing

It’s restructuring

A silent recalibration of how work gets done

And while everyone is waiting for clarity…

careers are stuck on ice

The Great Freeze

In a market where AI is replacing tasks, humans need to replace value.
What to do now:

Build skills that can use AI, not compete with it

Shift from execution → strategy

Become irreplaceable through judgment, creativity, relationships

When the freeze melts, companies won’t hire the “same roles back”

They’ll hire people who work with AI, not beside it

Workplace Drama: The Untold Series

Starring:

Your career: Always on a rollercoaster
Your company: Plot twists every Monday
HR: Trying to keep peace, but sometimes…

Scenes we know too well:
“We’ll discuss this later” → 3 weeks later… nothing
“We value your input” → but nobody listens
 Surprise deadlines that make you question reality

Moral of the story

Be the main character. Don’t wait for someone else to write your scenes

Turn drama into opportunity. Every chaos has a lesson

Laugh along the way or the office drama will get the best of you

Life’s too short to be stuck in a bad script

Rewrite your plot

The Most “Life-Changing” Books...According to Readers

Came across this fascinating chart today

It maps how many people call a book “life-changing” vs. how many reviews the book has and the results are surprising

Some timeless ones show up (no surprise there):

Man’s Search for Meaning, Autobiography of a Yogi, New Earth, Rich Dad Poor Dad

But look closer and you’ll see quieter gems like:

Remembering Wholeness, The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity, Your Erroneous Zones — books many of us may have never heard of, but clearly changed thousands of lives

What this made me think:

→Sometimes the book that transforms you isn’t the bestseller… it’s the “found at the right moment” one

If you could add ONE book to this list 

One that genuinely changed how you think or live , which one would it be?

I’m building my 2026 reading list through your recommendations
