Elon Musk-my fav Supervillain

 


I discovered this Elon Musk guy way back in 2015, and ever since, the more I learned about him, the more he seemed like a Rockstar. But, of course, I would love to call him a Supervillain. 
  
My reverence reached the point where my mom was taunting me for putting up his poster in place of Sai baba in my room, and my Dad was super disappointed for not remembering his birthday and cutting a cake for Elon’s birthday instead. 
  
Anyways, I can certainly tell that anyone who came across Elon Musk for the very first time their reaction would almost be like, “omg, this guy is crazy”. 
  
The Internet made him look like The Real IRON MAN. (On a side note, Robert Downey had to spend weeks on Elon Musk’s office floor before the Iron Man shooting to channelize that character). 
  
I don’t want to stop just knowing him by a Wikipedia article, I wanted to learn more about this guy, I wanted to dig deep into this Elon’s world(well don’t ask me the details like what was his full name, I am not a textbook stalker) 
  
Thanks to my book reading habit that started at the same time, weirdly for a different reason, and ended up for a greater good, I can’t thank that person enough. 
  
Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, Boring Company, NeuraLink and the list will go on for a better world, period. (fun fact: Elon Musk is not the founder of Tesla). 
  
This guy is crazy. I mean, who else would imagine that a single man would be behind a Private Rocket industry (launching rockets and landing them back to earth) and an Electric Automobile company (which now values more than 100-year-old automobile industry). 
  
Then comes his Twitter account with nearly 37 Million followers. Every tweet ends up as a shock to investors. (Elon, are you ok?) 
  
One thing Elon’s obsession has helped me with over the years is EVOLVE. 
  
If you love a cricket star you watch every match of his, you will have to learn the cricket rules, history and everything that has to do with cricket. 
  
Oddly, if you were to catch up with Elon’s world and be part of his fan base, you need to keep tabs on Rockets for electric cars and his weird tweet references. In this process, you LEARN a ton of stuff that will definitely push your cognizance. 
  
This guy is not an inventor and not as great as he was touted on the Internet, but in the end, none of those companies would have existed if it were not ELON MUSK in the first place. Btw, unarguably Elon is a great marketing genius who also understands the stuff under the hood. 
  
People love to work for this guy and love to be part of the companies trying to make the world a better place. 
  
ELON, my dear Supervillain, thank you!

The Pellichupulu Date

Image
When you grow together in love, sometimes you pause to watch the person next to you and feel thankful for life. You may wonder where it all started. For me, that moment is our first date, “the pellichupulu date” – the starting point of the trajectory of our love. Ayyira and I met at a traditional pellichupulu, spoke there, and connected on Instagram. We hadn't informed our parents of our decision yet, as we thought we should take some time. We texted for a week, and one weekend, I decided to go meet her in Hyderabad. I still recall that day when I stood in the Tatkal line to book a ticket; my hands were trembling not just from the Tatkal pressure, but also from thoughts of how the day would go when I met her in Hyderabad. I texted her the Saturday evening when I was boarding the train, and she had plans for Sunday to visit her parents. However, she cancelled her plans and decided to meet me. She asked about my plan for the day, and honestly, I had none. My whole intention was to me

Love in inverted schedule

Image
Ram and Ayyira have been married for nearly a year, and in just 10 days, they'll celebrate their first anniversary. They both work in the software industry, but their work schedules are quite different. Ram's work hours follow the usual 9-5 routine, while Ayyira's shift begins at 9, but during a different part of the day. In the beginning, they faced challenges in finding a common time to spend quality moments together. However, it didn't take them long to discover the beauty of love within their inverted schedules. They did have their fair share of arguments and disagreements, watching the newly released movie on matinee or evening show, and going out for lunch or dinner, but the remarkable aspect of their relationship was that they always resolved these issues before bedtime. Netflix and chill, Swiggy and bill. Occasionally, Ayyira had the opportunity to work from home. Before she logged in, Ram would sit beside her, sharing the events of his day. In return, she would

Packing Happiness

Image
Last night, I found myself in a bit of a rush to send off the skating shoes I'd bought for my nephew. Staff at the RTC parcel service refused to take them unless they were properly boxed up. It was already 8:45 in the evening, and with closing time at 9, I was running out of options. There were no department stores nearby, so in a bit of desperation, I hurried into a nearby PAN shop. The shopkeeper, a man in his sixties, took one look at the shoes and exclaimed with excitement, "Aren't these skating shoes?" It wasn't surprising to me that he recognized them; it was popularised in mainstream movies. But what caught my attention was the genuine joy he expressed as he carefully packed the shoes. Despite his shop being crowded with customers, he didn't hesitate to roll up his sleeves and handle the task with utmost professionalism. During our conversation, he shared with me his longing for skating. He told me how he had always dreamt of owning a pair himself but n
