I have had clients who worked in the UAE as early as the 1970s. Back then, it was nothing but desert. Indian currency was used for transactions, and most people survived on fishing, animal husbandry, and imported goods. Air conditioners were a luxury few could dream of. People poured water on hay beds to coolContinue reading “How UAE Understood Human Psyche and Capitalism Better Than India”

The narrative White people should be careful about – a warning!
On an Instagram post that read: “Give Our White Nation Back” Thousands of Australians came out on the roads to protest against Indians taking their jobs. I posted my comment: “Secure your beautiful land before it is too late. All the best.” And then I got this from a college-going kid – “The funny thingContinue reading “The narrative White people should be careful about – a warning!”
The Biggest Lie Ever Told: Hard Work Leads to Success
We’ve all been fed the same motivational sermon since childhood: work hard, and success will follow. It sounds noble, almost poetic. But let’s be honest—it’s the biggest lie humanity has been told. Hard work is important, no doubt. But to glorify it as the single path to success is like asking someone to cook chicken biryani withContinue reading “The Biggest Lie Ever Told: Hard Work Leads to Success”
How Many Enemies Have You Made?
In 2015, while traveling through Europe, a European friend asked me a question that caught me completely off guard: “So Kennedi, how many enemies have you made in your life so far?” At that time, I wasn’t very active on social media.

Why I Feel BJP Has Checked Rahul’s Horoscope Thoroughly
Congress was already on its deathbed when Modi became Prime Minister in 2014. After Dr. Manmohan Singh’s ten straight years in power, the party was left leaderless.

Over the years, I have been consulted by people from every possible rung of the economic ladder — the poor, the lower middle class, the middle class, the upper middle class, the rich, and the super rich. Each of them has come with different anxieties, ambitions, and curiosities. Yet, one observation has struck me asContinue reading “The Two Extremes Who Respect Astrology”
The Business of Greatness
The other day I asked my wife, “When you consulted astrologers before marriage, did you expect them to say great things about you?” Without hesitation she said, “Of course.” I replied, “But don’t you see around you that 99.99% of people in the world aren’t made for greatness at all — they are destined onlyContinue reading “The Business of Greatness”
Two Kinds of Horoscopes
In the language of astrology, destiny is never uniform. It shapes people in profoundly different ways, depending upon their planetary combination. Broadly speaking, I see two archetypes of horoscopes. The first is the fragile kind of strength. This is when a person shines only when the opponent is weak. Their victories are spectacular, but they depend onContinue reading “Two Kinds of Horoscopes”
