    Free Round Trip Ticket

    Reading Time: 2 minutes

    If you had a free round-trip ticket to anywhere, where would you go?

    That’s a tough question; we have so many places on our bucket list – Alaska, Hawaii, Paris, Amsterdam, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, South Africa, the Amazon jungle, and whatnot.

    But to fulfill my spouse Harmit’s wish, I would use that free round-trip ticket to Switzerland. Personally, I have been there twice on business trips, specifically to Zurich. One time I was there during the Christmas season; that was my best time. Festive vibes, lighting, Christmas market, local wine, chocolates, cheese, local delicacies like Raclette and Fondue – I am already there while writing this.

    The beautiful Zurich lake, those narrow brick alleys, magnificent churches, road rails, the smell of Lindt Lindor chocolate from the factory, the overwhelming cheese smell, and attractive Swiss watches make you fall in love with Switzerland.

    I want to revisit these places and create new memories with Harmit and Aayansh. Harmit always wanted to visit Switzerland, but we never got the chance to go. Now Aayansh is of the right age, so I have to plan something.

    What’s your dream place you want to visit or revisit?

    What’s a song that changed your life?

    There is no such song that changed my life or something like that, but there are some meaningful, philosophical songs that make me think.

    One such song is “Zindagi Ka Safar,” featuring the great Rajesh Khanna. The song explores the journey between life and death and how many people complete it daily, yet no one truly understands it. It encourages us to embrace death the same way we embrace life—such beautiful and deep words. We don’t write songs like that anymore.

    What are your thoughts about cryptocurrency?

    I am not a stock guy; I invest here and there, and I stick to well-known companies I know, like Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Berkshire, Coca-Cola, etc. I am a long-term investor; I don’t day trade, and I don’t check my portfolio daily.

    I’ve never tried my hand at crypto, except for Ethereum Classic, which has been in the red since the day I invested. Yes, digital currency can be the future, but it will take time. The government should recognize it to make it valid.

    Until then, it’s just a gamble. Personally, I don’t like putting my money on uncertain things.

    How about you? Have you invested in Crypto?

  • Why Material Possessions No Longer Hold Me

    Reading Time: < 1 minute

    What’s one thing you own that holds deep sentimental value?

    Actually, there is none. I had to think a lot to get an answer, but I got nothing. For quite some time now, I’ve tried to keep myself detached from material things.

    Initially, I had an attachment to many of my possessions, like my first Trek bike, which was stolen, and I cursed the thieves for so long, only to later realize it was just another possession, not the sole source of my happiness. Happiness comes from within, not from outside.

    When Aayansh was born, everything related to him had sentimental value to me: his first clothes, utensils, toys he played with, and much more. But his happiness and his chatterbox personality, along with his great sensitivity, make me more emotional than anything else.

    Sometimes I come across items that remind me of our dating days, and they bring back memories. We take a quick detour to revisit those memories, but that’s all.

    My real sentiments are at their peak when my dear family is around me; I feel blessed to have them, and I can’t thank God enough for all he has given me.
