Step 1. Downsizing — Moving from HSR to BTM. Cutting costs by half. Moving from a high rise 3BHK to a reasonable 2BHK. No maintenance of a shitty society any more. No more excesses.

Step 2. Acquiring Equity — Now is the best time to bank on early stage startups. They need help and have only equity to sell. Identify opportunities. Help in anyway you can. It pays in the long run. I banked on crypto. Now I’m banking on AI. And always on the lookout for the next big thing. Keep an eye on product hunt.

Step 3. Practice Philosophy of curiosity — Read up history. The great minds. Explore your existence. Contemplate your purpose. Read up freud. Read up about the great empires. I mostly ignored Indian history because i was forced fed religion in my childhood. Picking it up again! Our ancestors and their rich heritage is something we should be aware about even if they were psychedelic hippies or religious fanatics. We need to know where we came from.

And practice mindfulness! and You should be fine!

Nothing can hurt us if we choose not to.

Damn... 💯 True.

Explain more about ur fed up religion in childhood??

U married?

GigglyMuffin

Not married. Staying with my gf & a demon cat for entertainment.

Firstly, i love my family. Wouldn’t change a thing about them. Despite religion, they are the best people on this planet.

Childhood was all about worshipping all Indian gods and then moved to god men & women. Every 5 years, we would find a new godman that basically said the lost godman didn’t know shit. Buy these new expensive rings, stones, pay for puja, hang a gold plated Krishna painting at home, and a lot lot more of this. And when i would raise the issue that we are repeating this again and again, they dismissed me.

And i expected this of all the oldies in my family but even my brothers and 3 cousins, all just follow things as they’re told who are super accomplished in their fields.

So i’m the only one questions things. And that’s super isolating for a kid. And this continued till i remained in delhi. And constant fights. Mismatch of ideologies. And when you know you’re right, it becomes impossible to just see my entire family wasting money on frauds.

Before every exam I had to keep my pen, my books in front of the local mandir. My parents paid up like 1000-10000 bucks on pujas so that i do well in exams. And there premise was that even if i study hard and do well, all credit goes to god.

So that’s demoralising and now i’ve grown out of it. But it’s the same story for a lot of people, and thanks to the internet, mostly reddit, i don’t feel isolated anymore.

How much is such orchid costs? What's the price per sq ft or per acre ? @Sherlock007

SillyDonut

Nobody sells such orchids until an emergency arrives.

As creating such beauty takes atleast 1-2 decade.

Price is less than a 3bhk price at Bengaluru but Fruit produced is worth 4-5 lacs every year!

That's the major issue, LOW ROI

It will be enough to live in a village with that much income, but the quality of life for you and your family won't be that good.

Nice to see a farm photo bro. I am not from agricultural family, so please don't mind my silly question. There is lot of space between each tree. Do you grow anything between this or is it that it is kept empty for a reason?

SillyDonut

Good question...I was thinking why someone didn't ask this.

So, for fruit trees to grow at optimum and have maximum productivity...there is a definite guidelines from agriculture department.

Plus that helps plants get sunlight properly and hence photosynthesis is fast.

Meanwhile u can grow something at ground but output will be very low!

Stay strong dear. Explain ur mindset and background?

Yeah...am privileged agriculturally but not financially.

Born poor and dad sold lots of land to fulfill his personal ambitions!

Even I have studied in schools which had annual fee of 600inr. ( That too when father sold 20lac worth land and wasted in politics and construction biz)

15y later, am mindful now and trying to regain what we lost.
