  • Money

    What’s something you used to worry about but don’t anymore?

    What’s something you used to worry about but don’t anymore?

    Money.

    Money is necessary—from the day we are born until our final days. It pays for life’s needs, including our first and last hospital bills. But beyond a certain point, its importance changes.

    A person with nothing and a trillionaire are both limited by the same stomach. One may enjoy greater luxury and choice, but neither can eat beyond human limits.

    Over the years, I have realized that money is a means, not the destination. Many people, reflecting on life near its end, have said they valued the memories they created, the relationships they nurtured, and the love they shared far more than the wealth they accumulated.

    So today, I still respect money—but I no longer worry about it the way I once did. I invest more in experiences, kindness, and memories, because those are the true treasures that stay with us.

  • Money

    What’s something you used to worry about but don’t anymore?

    Money.

    Life begins with a hospital bill and often ends with one. Money is an unavoidable companion throughout our journey—but only to a point.

    A beggar and a billionaire are governed by the same laws of nature. Neither can eat beyond the capacity of the human stomach. Wealth changes comfort, not the limits of life.

    As I have grown older, I have come to see that money is a wonderful servant but a poor master.

    At the end of life, no one wishes they had earned one more crore. They cherish the moments they lived, the people they loved, the kindness they gave, and the memories they created.

    Money can buy comfort. It cannot buy time. It cannot buy peace. It cannot buy a life well lived.

    Today, I earn, save, and spend wisely—but I no longer let money decide my happiness.

    In the end, memories become our true wealth.

  • Learn

    What is your favorite quote?

    “My favorite quote is: ‘Learn, Unlearn, and Relearn.’ Technology changes rapidly, and lifelong learning is the best way to stay relevant.”

  • Transform negative emotions to positive ones

    If you had to give one life-changing tip, what would it be?

    “Transform your reactions: choose love over anger, empathy over irritation, and growth together over selfishness.”

  • It’s AI chatbot usage

    What’s a skill you consider basic, that most people don’t actually know how to do?

    People often think using AI chatbots is a skill meant only for experts. I disagree. I believe it’s becoming a basic skill that everyone should learn.

    When I first heard about ChatGPT, I simply started typing questions in English. I read the answers, experimented with different prompts, and was fascinated. Later, I tried Meta AI, DeepSeek, Copilot, Gemini, and recently Claude. Then I began using them in my mother tongue, Tamil. I was amazed that they could even help me write poems, stories, articles, good morning messages, and birthday wishes.

    If I have a health concern, I can get first-hand information before visiting a doctor. Of course, I always remember that chatbots can make mistakes, so I verify important information with another chatbot, reliable sources, or my own reasoning.

    I’m 66 years old, and I find AI to be a wonderful companion for learning. Only later did I discover that what I had been doing was called “prompt engineering.” I learned it simply by experimenting—without any formal training.

    A friend of mine in the US, who works for a large company, told me that these days you don’t need special training to get started. If you can clearly express your question or problem in plain English—or even in your own language—you can use AI effectively.

    So my message is this: don’t think AI is only for highly educated or technical people. Choose one chatbot, ask your first question, and explore. You may be surprised by how much you can learn. Once you start, it’s hard to stop. It’s like having a huge encyclopedia and a patient learning companion available anytime.

  • Karna from the Mahabharata

    Who is the fictional character you relate to the most?

    Karna from the Mahabharata.

    His unwavering loyalty, generosity, and selflessness deeply resonate with me. I believe in my friends, try to do good without expecting anything in return, and help those in need whenever I can. Even if doing so brings me hardship, I accept it wholeheartedly, because I believe that serving others is one of life’s greatest purposes.

  • Initially I didn’t but now

    Do you think everything happens for a reason?

    I didn’t believe this when I was younger. I even argued with a colleague about it. But as I’ve grown older, my life experiences have changed my perspective. I now believe that everyone has a purpose in life. Even those who don’t believe they have one are, in a way, fulfilling their own purpose by holding that belief. Our journeys may be different, but each person’s life has meaning in its own unique way..

  • Simple photos

    What’s your home decoration style?

    Framed family elders photos, my family photos, my kids photos where they were young, god photos. Most importantly paintings of my daughters. Also some mementos and prizes. Hope in a typical indian home we see this.
