Indians struggles with low trust in daily interactions, whether it’s dealing with businesses, hiring someone for a job, or even relying on friends and family in certain situations. There’s always a lingering worry: Will this person cheat me? Can I trust them with my money? Will they misuse my information? This constant vigilance makes life stressful and exhausting. A healthy society runs on trust. When people can rely on each other, things move faster, relationships deepen, and mental energy is freed up for more meaningful pursuits. But in a low trust environment, every decision feels like a gamble, and that erodes both personal peace and social progress. Building trust isn’t easy, but it starts with fairness, transparency, and accountability at every level, whether in business, governance, or personal interactions. When people see honesty being rewarded and dishonesty being punished, trust slowly grows.

A 50-year mortgage? You’re not buying a home, you’re buying debt. At this point, humans don’t work for themselves…we work for the banks.

Look at the so-called safety protocols neither followed nor ensured by Indian authorities, workers without safety gear, open roads, and no proper barricades to protect the public. “Silicon Valley of India,” right?

It’s reasonable for the Indian traffic police to penalize speeding, but it’s equally reasonable to penalize those who drive too slowly and disrupt the flow of traffic.

Indian government officers and politicians should not be allowed to travel in cars, they should use two-wheelers so they can understand the road and dust problems that ordinary citizens face.

If you want to spot a person with authority in India, look for a white towel on their office chair or car seat.

All the netas, regardless of party, talk about millions, billions, and trillions, yet they can’t even get the roads and footpaths fixed within a 30 km radius of their own homes. And these are the people talking about changing the country.

Just look at the level of dust, and mind you, this is ‘Smart City’ Vadodara. The amount of dust is unbelievable, mostly caused by ongoing work from government contractors and private developers. I’m pretty sure the dust issue is low on the municipality’s list of priorities.

Dear Municipal Corporation, Please understand that the dust on our roads is also your responsibility. Regular sweeping or a proper solution is needed, our city shouldn’t become a dust pit. Clean roads mean cleaner air and healthier citizens. #CleanCity #PublicHealth

Why are all tech companies crazy about chips? 🤔

RCC roads might look durable, but they come at a cost. They’re rough on tyres, hard to repair, and take much more energy to build, not exactly an environmental win. Every extra tyre change adds to waste and pollution too. But hey, E20 is here, so at least the fuel’s greener, right?

It’s high time the Indian municipal corporation invested in parking complexes. It’s okay if the city has two or three fewer flyovers. what’s long overdue is proper parking infrastructure.

Taking a car or bike out in India basically means giving it a dust shower. I hope our government officials realize that the dust problem is serious and that they can’t just blame it on geography.

The reality of many Indian corporate cultures If your employer has a culture like this, it’s best to look for another company. Staying in an environment that lacks empathy will only drain your motivation and hold you back in the long run.

Do Indian politicians and journalists truly understand India’s population? They keep boasting “1.4 billion people… the biggest market, the biggest workforce.” But that number includes children under 18 and senior citizens over 70, who aren’t active contributors to the economy. And with our low per-capita income (~ $2,878), just quoting 1.4 billion like it’s an achievement feels misleading. Population size alone doesn’t equal progress.

Construction dust in Vadodara isn’t “development”… it’s pollution. Kids are coughing, roads are filthy, and many builders/contractors behave like rules don’t matter. And where are the footpaths? Citizens are forced to walk in traffic like second-class humans.

Are Hindu festivals slowly shifting from tradition to just partying and drinking?

In India, nothing moves fast. Not government, not agencies, not trade deals. Slow is the system. I won’t be surprised if the trade deal drags on for another year.

Be grateful for what you have, and always show empathy toward others. Treat everyone with kindness and respect, especially those who may have fewer advantages or resources than you. A little compassion can make a big difference in someone’s life
