RESPONSES TO LAST WEEK'S QUESTION

Last week I asked you:

Do you celebrate 31st December?

  1. Yes, at home
  2. Yes, by going outside
  3. Yes, by travelling
  4. No

For most of you, celebrating NY Eve seems like just another house party. Very few (<15%) go out either in their own city or outside.

What is interesting is the share of folks who do celebrate. Seems to grow with age, while still remaining at home.

My answer:
I do not celebrate NY Eve. Have not been doing it for the past 7-8 years now. At nearbuy, NY Eve used to be our biggest business day, so I used to be monitoring that. Post nearbuy, we tend to sleep by 930pm, like any other normal day. It was the same this year too :)

7 lessons for your career 1/ If people can't trust you, it doesn't matter how smart you are. 2/ Write your emails assuming everybody will read them. 3/ Don't be in a hurry to create impact.

Do you have the right tools? Sometimes, I get these cute DMs: "Ankur, your pics are looking awesome. Which phone do you use?" "Ankur, your videos are so sharp. Which camera do you use?" "Your voice sounds so clear and deep. Which mic do you use?" "You have been meditating for so long without fail, which app do you use?" Makes me smile :)) It's the equivalent of me asking someone, "Your book was wonderful. Which pen did you use?" A lot of us are stuck in the wait for the right tools. The right...

She, on the other hand, was the Shahrukh Khan in everybody’s life.Happy and going with the flow :))Forever smiling.Everyone adored her.Her happiness made everyone else happy around her. We...
