Don't marry. Don't have kids. Don't even think of work life balance. Work 12 hours a day for companies so that they can mint millions and feed you peanuts. Wonderful advice.

If you work 6 days a week - 12h per day
Remaining 12h
8 hours sleep
4 hours remain
In a city like Bengaluru
2 hours on road
2 hours remain - Brush, poop, bathe, eat
No time to socialise
No time to talk to family
No time to exercise

this way :-
📍Do not consume curd at night, leads to excess mucous with cold, indigestion
📍Don't take curd daily - creates blockages of body channels
So how to have curd :-
- once or twice a week

- less quantity
- without heating

Bengaluru's tech hub, ORR, faced an unprecedented traffic jam, trapping techies, office-goers, and school buses for almost 4 hours.

I started eating paneer when I was 23 or 24 when a north Indian introduced it to me. Till then I ate grass around the house and leaves from nearby trees. Life was tough. Thank God for paneer.

Hot take: Mass vegetarianism in India was only possible due to the discovery of paneer. Paneer can be turned into so many dishes and also tastes really good.
Annoyed with forced vegetarianism during festivals such as Navratri. This business of imposing one group's practices, whether minority or majority, across all other castes, religions and communities is just aggressive majoritarianism.
