What would you do if you won the lottery?

I have never been one to buy lottery tickets. The reason is simple: I don’t believe sudden windfalls truly help build a meaningful or positive life. At least, that’s been my experience. Every centor, in Indian terms, every paisaI have ever earned has come through hard work and persistence. That said, if I were ever to come into a large sum of money, I’d want to spend it wisely. First and foremost, I’d set aside a generous portion for myself and my family, ensuring financial security and stability for the ones I love. As for the rest, I’d channel it into causes that truly matterinitiatives that are free of political or agenda-driven motives. My focus would be on local projects that uplift people in my community, benefiting everyone equally, regardless of race, religion, or gender. Because at the end of the day, the true value of wealth isn’t in how… What would you do if you won the lottery?

Books I want to read

Books I want to read are usually fast-paced action thrillers, the kind that Fredrick Forsyth, Alistair MacLean and Robert Ludlum specialized in. My all-time favorite author remains Dick Francis. I am a big fan of his low-key, underdog hero characters who eventually outsmart the villain. Once in a while I try to read religious or philosophical books, but typically do not go beyond a few pages. Comics are great and remind me of my childhood. Used to read them to my son when he was a kid. Have a massive collection, safely packed in a cupboard, waiting to be read by my grandchildren. Whatever the form the book is in, be it a paperback or digital versions we read on tablets, they are a part of our life, our past, present, and future.

Family tradition

In my eyes, family is defined by my wife, my son, and me. Together, we’ve established a unique family tradition of mutual non-interference. Each of us treasures our hobbies and fiercely protects our “me” time. On the surface, this might seem like the typical dynamics of a nuclear familybut don’t be fooled. Beneath this structure lies a deep respect for one another’s opinions (yes, even when heated debates arise). And when life throws us a curveball? That’s when our real strength shines through. We rally together, unwavering and ready to support one another, no matter the challenge.
