Work-Life Integration: Why Chasing Work-Life Balance Is Making You Miserable
If I leaned into ambition, I was “imbalanced.” If I leaned into rest, I felt “unproductive.”
It wasn’t exhaustion that made me miserable.

Touching History: Why the Tactile Curiosity of the Indian Traveler is an International Incident Waiting to Happen
In this book, I explore the hilarious (and occasionally horrifying) reality of our need to poke the artifacts of the world. I’ve seen C-suite executives—men who manage billion-dollar portfolios—secretly trying to see if the marble on a Renaissance statue feels like real skin.

The Man Who Stopped Mid-Sentence
The boardroom was loud.
Charts. Opinions. Interruptions.
Mid-sentence, he stopped speaking.
He closed his notebook.

Silence followed.
Everyone looked at him, confused.
Some uncomfortable.
Some irritated.
No one knew it then,
but this would become the most important moment of his leadership.

Job Title Identity: The Day I Realised My Designation Was Lying to Me
If my job title disappeared tomorrow, would I disappear with it?
Most of us don’t ask this question. Not because it’s irrelevant — but because it’s dangerous. It destabilizes carefully constructed identities. It threatens the scaffolding on which our self-worth quietly rests.

Why Your Grandmother Was the Original Bio-Hacker (And Why You Should Listen to Her)
For decades, we’ve filed these things under "Superstition." We assumed that our ancestors were just scared of the dark or trying to appease angry gods.
