Sunita Williams returns to earth after 268 days (actual planned days = 8) - Due to a technical error in Boeing Starliner spacecraft, they stayed in ISS - They done 150 experiments and 900 hours of research - They will need 45 days to recover Well, I thought when my 100 days break extended to 158, on land, I thought it's crazy. Now, Sunita Williams put in a very high bar for unexpected extended plans. PS: The youtube video of them in a pod parachuting into water, gave me goosebumps knowing they are on earth after 9 months.

DeepSeek CEO understands what most people miss. Elon musk read about rocket science by reading books and he is cheif engineer there. The cheapest way to learn the most important skills is books + putting them into action. It takes 10-12 hours sometimes to finish a book and lot of people don’t have patience to stick. It’s hard to read books if aren’t intrested. But you sure as hell can become significantly knowledgeable reading books (while also doing relevant work. Otherwise no use of that knowledge). The best people spent decades of work and take 1-2 years to write it and deliver it to your home as low as Rs.250-300 sometimes. Why don’t you pick them up and read sometimes? PS: also you may end up buying so many books that you can read and it’s okay. It’s called anti-library(google it), and it’s needed sometimes.

Don't wait for your company to invest in AI tools—start learning them NOW. The AI skills gap is your opportunity. Those who self-educate will: Command higher salaries Stand out from 90% of competitors Become indispensable in their roles Investing in yourself today = career acceleration tomorrow. PS: This is all applicable only if you know your basics first.

What does discomfort look like? - Not eating even if you crave junk food - Sleeping early even if you feel like having screen time - Texting that person only to ruin more of your relationship - Keeping up with your routine even others don’t understand - Showing up to do things even if you don’t feel like it Most times consistency will put you in top 1% Most times it’s that discomfort you need to fight and go through to have consistency Most times you know what to do, Which is ‘not doing things that will drag you back’ And being consistent and showing up PS: prove me wrong

We just printed our first 100 books The book name is ‘UNBLOCK.’ At Alohaa we doubled down on Fintech Industry and worked with companies like Axio(aka Amazonpay) and likes over last one year. When we signed up for another event on march. Instead of thinking how to sell, We asked ourselves, How can we help CXOs in Fintech industry to identify gaps in collections space beyond helping through our product. The output is this book. It covers the right methods to use, how to Organize teams to helping them calculate the money lost due to inefficiencies of unconnected calls and how to fix them. (I know it’s a niche and precisely why no one addressed it). We will be giving these books away in tomorrow Fintech event in Mumbai. We are excited and nervous about this book, another 40 hours we will know 🤞 Wish us luck! (And refer to CXOs in your network who may be struggling with call connectivity to reach people to collect back the money they lent out to customers) PS: Did you notice the MRP on the book? That’s the cost Fintech industry is paying due to lack of robust systems.

This year is for slow travel In Goa for 7th or 8th time only, but this time for beach walks, enjoying the food, being in the sun, not complaining about the sweat, not rushing to another place or do another thing Focused work, and letting go of the rush Feels like a great start for travel even though gotten late for this quarter PS: Think of important things to do each quarter, than thinking of the whole year, gives a perspective of what’s important and put it to execution, even if check list is to let go

Done with Bharat Collections and Lending summit @ Mumbai.

We made it on the right foot and direction. PS: and always a delight to be in Mumbai for chai and Vadapav. Team: Manikanta Nishitha SATYADEV me
