Hi,
Lockdown 5.0 is in effect now!
I consider this yet another opportunity to practice self awareness and personal growth!
The economic recession has become inevitable. It only shows the fragility of our institutional infrastructure. A resilient system can only be in congruent with nature's sustainable model. The global pandemic has made us starkingly aware of it!
Let us take this an opportunity to move at least now, a step closer to a better self, a better world!
Let us be the change we want to see!
Love & gratitude,
Sathya

10 Business Ideas That Will Be Big In 2020
“If you want to profit from an industry, become the media for that industry. Become the watercooler around which everyone else congregates.”
You cannot argue that internet has created a new genre of business, aptly titled 'Digital Entrepreneurs'. It's accessibility and affordability has made it a great equalizer. India is yet to grasp its full potential.

10 lessons I’ve learned from writing a weekly newsletter for a year
"I call writing newsletters “self-therapy for infovores,” and every Sunday, I wake up, brew a fresh cup of coffee, sit in my chair, and do some therapy."
I am envious of Siddhartha's achievement. I am also inspired by his honest message as well. This is #16 of my Aurasky Newsletter! And his message is giving me hope to continue!
