The part about being your own boss and CEO from post-12th onwards hits different. That's either the most optimistic or most defiant thing I've heard. Idk which yet.

​🖋️ Poem 1: Asli Game Abhi Baaki Hai

​Kamra andhera hai aur screen par neeli roshni,

Dost keh rahe hain—"Bhai, teri kismat hi kharab thi."

Do mahine se views nahi aaye toh sabne mazaak bana diya,

Jo sath khde the unhone bhi rasta badal liya.

​Par ruko, yeh ek-do fail attempt meri pehchan nahi hain,

Main is duniya ke taano ka koi ghulam nahi hoon.

Giroonga das baar, par gyarvin baar phir uthunga,

Jo rasta flop hua toh kya, main naya rasta chunga.

​Yeh '0 views' sirf ek number hai ek purane server ka,

Mera jigar lohe ka hai, main banda hoon ghajab ka.

Jo kehte the nahi hoga, unhe ab karke dikhana hai,

Kuku TV ke hero se bada, mujhe apna asli empire banana hai!

​🖋️ Poem 2: Main Character Energy (Mera Waqt Aayega)

​Bheed khadi hai raste mein, sabke hathon mein taane hain,

"Tumse na ho payega," unke paas wahi purane bahane hain.

Ghar wale tension mein hain aur dost aage nikal gaye,

Hum thodi der ke liye ruke kya, log samajh baithe ki hum fisal gaye.

​Par unhe kya pata, main is bheed ka hissa nahi hoon,

Main kisi choti-moti kahani ka kissa nahi hoon.

Main apni life ki movie ka asli 'Main Character' hoon yaar,

Abhi toh bas interval hai, asli climax toh abhi baaki hai mere yaar!

​Rukna maine seekha nahi aur jhukna meri shaan nahi,

Jo haar ke baad bhi naya dhanda khada kare, wo aam insan nahi.

Aaj chota hoon toh kya, kal sabse bada hoonga,

Apni kismat ke panne par, main apna naam khud likhoonga.

​🖋️ Poem 3: Restart (Level Up)

​Aage khadi hai mushkil ki ek bohot badi deewar,

Peeche mera beeta hua kal, jo raha tha mujhe pukaar.

"Laut aa wapas," darr ne kaan mein dheere se kaha,

"Tera naya business idea bhi pehle jaisa hi flop raha."

​Maine darr ko bola—"Shutup! Tera waqt ab khatam,"

Har fail attempt se seekha hai, ab bhari hain mere kadam.

Jaise game mein hota hai na ek naya 'Level Up',

Maine apni skills ko badha liya, ab badhega mera graph!

​Amazon par apni kitab ho, ya apna koi naya brand,

Hum jahan khade ho jayein, wahin se shuru ho trend.

12th ke baad ka safar thoda mushkil zaroor hai,

Par khud ka boss aur CEO banne ka nasha, ab dimaag par poora choor hai!

    What made you start writing these? Was it something specific that hit you, or has this been building for a while?

    Giroonga das baar, par gyarvin baar phir uthunga. Yeah, that line stuck with me.

  • Is the bracelet the real watch, and your strap drawer a cry for help?

    A watch is not finished until its bracelet is on it. I need you to sit with that before you reach for the spring bar tool again. The case and the dial get the worship, the forum threads, the macro photography, and meanwhile the one component that touches your skin for sixteen hours a day gets treated like a placeholder you swap out before the watch even ships. Taking the bracelet off a watch that was designed around it is buying a sports car and bolting on wheelbarrow tires. It is hanging a…

  • Do you really need to have an opinion on everything?

    There is a difference between an opinion and a judgment, and almost everything in the way we live now is built to make you forget it. An opinion is what you can produce in four seconds when someone asks. A judgment is what you have after you have spent real time with a thing, watched it behave under pressure, been wrong about it once or twice, and corrected. The first is nearly free. The second costs attention you cannot get back, and you can only afford it for a handful of subjects in a life.…

  • Are airlines betting you'll never redeem that travel credit?

    When an airline hands you a travel credit instead of your money back, it has not done you a favor. It has converted a refund it owed in cash into a coupon it controls. The money stays on the airline's balance sheet. You carry the risk that you never get it back, be it because it expires, because you lose it, because it's difficult to redeem and you give up... Both of those facts are deliberate, and the language wrapped around them, "flexibility," "credit toward future travel," exists to keep…

  • Don't you think you should behave differently at the gym than at the office?

    The older I get, the more I think most office workers do not need a more advanced gym program. They need to stop behaving like office workers for one hour. I am an office worker, but I feel I'm smarter about it. Let's go for big brain time Look, you sit all day at work. Then you go to the gym and immediately sit on machines between sets scrolling your phone, sit for chest press, sit for shoulder press, sit for cable rows, sit while resting, sit while texting, sit while checking fitness…

  • Does anyone actually care about your watch?

    There is a strange leftover anxiety in modern dress culture, like a ghost of a more formal society that no longer exists. We all still behave as if every visible detail is being quietly graded. The watch is one of the clearest examples of this illusion. It carries the weight of imagined judgment far beyond what actual attention can sustain.

  • Is a Hamilton Khaki Field just a $1000 Timex you can brag about?

    Hamilton Khaki Field is what happens when military design gets translated into civilian life and then immediately worn under office lighting. It’s the watch equivalent of owning a tactical backpack that has never seen a mountain but has absolutely held a laptop, three charging cables, and leftovers from dinner to save some money. And to be clear: it’s a great watch.

  • Does wearing a Patek Philippe make you a protagonist, or just its caretaker?

    Patek Philippe is what happens when a watch brand decides time itself is a family heirloom. Most watch companies sell you a product. Patek sells you the idea that you are temporarily entrusted with a moral artifact that will outlive your personality, your opinions, and possibly your entire bloodline’s ability to dress correctly. The famous slogan—“You never actually own a Patek Philippe, you merely look after it for the next generation”—is doing an absurd amount of psychological heavy lifting.…
