The more machines become human-like, the more human-like we must remain ourselves.
I see human (and not just people) skills – like kindness, respect and empathy – becoming the hottest set in the near future. While you spread your branches, don’t forget the roots.

One thing we must all learn in our careers is to accept criticism as constructive feedback.
Criticism of our work is not a criticism of us or our character - the sooner we realise this, the quicker we'll be to able to grow, both personally and professionally
India’s role in shaping the global economy cannot be ignored.
If India grows, consumption grows. If India upskills, global industries benefit...
Initiatives like

Would you break something that you borrowed from your child?
For example, the air it breathes, the water it drinks, or the soil it plays on.

Tamil Nadu makes cloth bag vending machines compulsory in malls and markets. Good one, TN...
By doing that, you:
1. Make shoppers happy
2. Care for the planet

Legacy isn’t something you leave behind after you’re gone. It’s something that you create every day, a work in progress.
You aren’t paying something forward to the next generation. You’re returning what you borrowed. Don't return it broken.

Have been reading about the outrage to Narayana Murthy's 70 hour work statement..
I believe when he talks of work, it's not limited to the company.. it extends to your self and to your country.. He hasn't said work 70 hours for the company - work 40 hours for the company but

The key to creating value in the future lies in –

(b) maximizing impact with focused interventions
(c) partnering with them in reducing costs
Less them. More we. Most us!
The human body is such a piece of art. Amazed how the lips make the eyes smile - all of life’s lessons come from nature. Hope this makes you smile today. :)
To all those who are asking.. Yes, the CHALLENGE IS ON!
The purpose of this challenge is not one-upmanship or competition or headline hunting.
It is a challenge to ourselves -- to push the frontiers of technology for nation building.

Saying "I don't know" needs to be normalized. It doesn't make you a lesser person.
There is an unreasonable expectation from people to know or have an opinion on everything.
