Sounds right.

𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁.

That recommended candidate?
Different life.
Different struggles.
Different maturity.

𝗛𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗶𝗺.

When you repeat it without that depth,
𝗶𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰.

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗽𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗜 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴.

Too many interests. Too many roles. Too many worlds.

𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘵 𝘖𝘸𝘯𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘯 𝘐𝘛. 𝘔𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘳. 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤 𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘰𝘯 𝘉𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘳𝘶 𝘳𝘰𝘢𝘥𝘴. 𝘊𝘚𝘙 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘭 𝘬𝘪𝘥𝘴. 𝘙𝘶𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨. 𝘈 𝘛𝘌𝘋𝘹 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯.

I used to feel guilty about it.
Like I wasn’t serious enough. Like I should just pick one thing and go all in.

Only later did I understand this wasn’t confusion.

𝗜𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗠-𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲.

Most of us are taught to build a straight line. One skill. One job. One ladder.

An M-shaped life is different. You build depth in multiple places. 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘬. 𝘗𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯. 𝘚𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘦. They look unrelated. But they quietly shape each other.

There’s a concept called 𝘧𝘢𝘳 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘧𝘦𝘳.
It’s when learning from one world changes how you behave in another, without you even realising it.

Traffic taught me this first.

When you manage a chaotic junction, logic doesn’t work. People are emotional. Rushed. Angry.
You can’t force control. You have to stay calm. Read people. Act fast. Let ego go.

That same skill shows up during a bad release or a tense stakeholder call.
𝘋𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘴𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨. 𝘚𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦.

Military selection psychology added another layer.
It made me see that performance is rarely about talent alone. It’s about intent. Values.
𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗻𝗼𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴.

But CSR work taught me something even deeper.

𝗜𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴.
Helping someone, knowing very well you may get nothing in return. And still showing up.

When you spend time with school kids, you realise life doesn’t have to be transactional all the time.
In the corporate world, we’re often harsh with each other. Defensive. Competitive. Guarded.

But you don’t always have to be that way.

Sometimes you can just be human.
Listen a little more. Help without keeping score. Speak with kindness even when it’s not required.

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁.
𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁.

And ironically, that builds stronger teams than fear ever will.

None of this was planned.
I didn’t design an M-shaped career. 𝘐 𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵. 𝘐 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳.

If you feel like you have too many interests, maybe you’re not unfocused.

Maybe you’re learning things that no job description can teach you.

Akash Raj (Military Mantra)

I recently had the distinct honor of meeting the parents of Captain MV Pranjal, Shaurya Chakra.

Captain MV Pranjal had made the supreme sacrifice on 22nd Nov 2023 in Rajouri Encounter fighting terrorists.

I am struggling to find the words to describe the experience.

​We often read about "sacrifice" in history books or news headlines, but seeing it reflected in the eyes of a mother and father who gave their only son for the nation is humbling beyond measure.

​What struck me most wasn't just the pride they have for Pranjal’s bravery, but their incredible resilience.

There is a quiet, dignified strength when I spoke to them—a reminder that heroes aren't just born on the battlefield; they are raised in homes built on values, love, and selfless service.

​Meeting them reminded me that our freedom is a gift paid for by families we often never meet. I walked away not just inspired, but with a renewed sense of gratitude for the life I get to lead because of men like Captain Pranjal.

​Salute to the hero, and a bow to the parents who stand as pillars of strength. 🇮🇳
