Wallet Launch

It was indeed a pleasure and privilege to see that Wallet was being launched and I could be part of it too.

The day was filled with insights beginning with Selvam - wealth, meet and greet and friends.

Key learning from the day were:

Money Can't buy happiness? If money don't make  you happy, then you probably aren't spending it right.

 1. Buy Experience,  Not things: Don't look for possessions,  look for experience. 

2. Help others, instead of yourself. 

3. Many small, not a few big.

4. Buy less insurance.  There is thrill only when there is no Plan B.

5. Joy is in Expectation. Pay now, consume later.

6. Please think about things you are not thinking about. When you drive a car it's not the exterior that matters.

7. Stop comparison shopping. 

8. Follow the heard, not the heart.

The Art of spending Money ~ Morgan Housel

The rich live for ever, the poor die young. We have solved the longitivity issue, only connectivity is time.

 Two kinds of money:

1. Basic Needs currency - Essentials

2. Social Staus and Merit money

 3 words:

1. Independence: 14th March 2026. Financial Independence Day

2. Nonchalance : Don't care attitude 

3. Respect: Veneration & Reverence. Mahatma Gandhi.

Sangeeta Mam : Two boys Rich man's car scolded - two different reaction about rich.

Money mindset - Belief, attitude,  thoughts

Sindhu Bhairavi

 

Sindhu Bhairavi Full Movie | சிந்து பைரவி திரைப்படம் | #Sivakumar Suhasini | Ilaiyaraja, K.J.Yesudas

A deep movie far ahead of its time. 40 years for its release.  One of the first movies , that I have watched and heard songs. Movie is filled with Illyaraja Sir's music.

Sindhu Bhairavi, directed by K. Balachander, is a powerful musical drama that beautifully blends Carnatic music with human emotions. The story revolves around a celebrated singer torn between his devoted wife and an intellectually compatible admirer. Suhasini Maniratnam delivers a standout performance, earning national acclaim.

The film explores complex themes like love, ego, marriage, and moral choices with sensitivity. Music by Ilaiyaraaja is the soul of the film, elevating every scene.

Overall, it is a timeless classic—emotionally rich, musically brilliant, and thought-provoking.

Mutual Mariyadha was the movie which bagged all the state and film fare awards but Sindu got national award for this.

When Into a new job....Remember

 Into a new job?

The first 6 months in a new job are like stepping into a moving train 🚆

You’re expected to find your seat… while it’s already in motion.

I’ll be honest.

In the first 6 months of almost every new job… I felt like quitting.

Almost every time.

Nothing was fundamentally wrong.
But something didn’t feel right.

And that feeling quietly says:
👉 “Maybe this isn’t for you.”

Over time, I realised:

👉 It wasn’t the job
👉 It was the transition phase

Every new job disrupts you in three ways:

🔹 → Confidence drops
🔹 → Control reduces
🔹 → Comparison begins

And your mind plays a trick…
It edits your past and compares it with your present.

So I made one rule:

“For the first 6 months… no decisions.”

👉 Just understand, don’t evaluate.

Here’s what I started doing:

🔹 Month 1–2: Observe, don’t prove
→ Who influences decisions?
→ What really matters?
→ How does work actually move?

🔹 Month 3–4: Create small wins
→ Don’t try to change everything
→ Just build visible contributions

🔹 Month 5–6: Decide with clarity
→ Now you have context
→ Now you have perspective

Somewhere in between, I stopped waiting for clarity… and created it.

🔹 → Defined my role for myself
🔹 → Focused on outcomes, not activities
🔹 → Aligned it with my manager

And instead of judging my boss… I decoded:

🔹 → Speed or perfection?
🔹 → Updates or independence?
🔹 → Data or relationships?

That reduced most of the friction.

Because here’s what I’ve learnt:

🔹 → People don’t leave wrong jobs
🔹 → They leave too early

🔹 → They mistake discomfort for misfit
🔹 → And impatience for intuition

If you’re in that phase right now…

Pause.

👉 You’re not stuck
👉 You’re just early in the story

Stay a little longer.
Understand a little deeper.
Then decide with clarity.
