🎉 Quick milestone update: our Daily Memory Lab channel just reached 500 subscribers!
Thank you to everyone who’s been supporting the Study With Me sessions, the energy in the community is unreal. 🙌

Along with the study sessions, I’ve also started uploading 3–5 minute “Concept Byte” videos on CA Inter GST.
Think of them as fast, high-retention revision clips, perfect for brushing up a topic while traveling, waiting, or in between study blocks.

📌 Here’s the playlist:

If you’re a CA Inter Group 1 student or know someone who is, share it with them. One video a day = effortless revision.

Happy to inform you that my new channel *Daily Memory Lab* has crossed 100 subscribers in 5 days.

More than that, I have been getting many good feedback from the students that the videos are being useful to them.

But please know that we are just in Day 5 and still there are 91 days to the Jan 2026 exams.

So, if you are writing *CA Inter Group 1* in Jan 2026, do pay a visit to the channel. :)

Dear CA Inter Students,
I have started another YouTube channel specifically for you. This is as an experiment: I will be studying GST portion every day like a student but using Spaced Repetition System. You will get an idea of exactly how many internal revisions I do within the normal course of preparation. I will also be doing Active Recall.

As of now, the idea is to study at least 70% of the portions for five rounds. You can rest assured about the 50 marks in Group 1. Do subscribe to the channel and watch everyday's study sessions on the same day I upload.

If a colleague shares with you a slice of their pizza today, ensure that at least within the next five working days, you give them two slices of pizza.

If you have not got the opportunity to pay them back in double, you should have at least matched the favour they did in one form or the other. If you haven't done any of the above, do not take one more favour from them. Politely refuse.

Is it about the power dynamics within the team? Partly yes. You are less vulnerable to others as long as you receive less favours.

But more than the power dynamics, it's about basic human etiquette.

You work too. Meaning, you are earning money too.
Bring something to their table so you can accept what they offer you next!

If that's too hard to understand, imagine the next time you lend your car to your colleague, they drove it for seventy kilometres and they handed over your vehicle back to you without refilling the tank.

The worst part is while returning the favour, don't ask if they need the favour to be returned. If you ask, the answer will always be no. Just return the favour directly.

Refill the vehicle without them knowing.
Buy them the coffee without checking.
Help them with the email without asking.

Don't be an infinite taker.

💡If you don’t like where you are currently in life and want to completely transform into a new person, you don’t want to start twenty different habits at once.


I mean, you don’t have to start meditating, start exercising, quit eating sugar etc all at once. That’s the shortest way to overwhelm and misery.


👉But have you ever heard of keystone habits?


By the way, a keystone is a central stone at the summit of an arch, locking the whole together.


Charles Duhigg in The Power of Habit calls them the “small, key habits that spark a chain reaction.”


Think of them as the first domino. Once it falls, dozens of other habits start aligning automatically.


To give you an example: When I wanted to get in shape and build endurance, I focused only on Running 15 kms a week. That’s roughly 2 kms a day. When I mastered that habit,
· I started lifting better,
· I started drinking naturally more water,
· I started having better metabolism. (One keystone habit. Multiple positive outcomes.)


Recently, I wanted to improve my sleep quality. So, I focused only on one small key habit. That is, not sleeping with my smartphone. The moment I stopped carrying smartphone to bed, my sleep quality drastically improved. But not just that;
· it improved my running speed,
· it lowered my resting heart rate,
· it cut the need for me to take a nap during the day,
· I feel less need to eat junk snacks during the day and so on.


This is the ripple effect in action 🌊.


One simple habit doesn’t stay contained—it radiates into other areas of life and work.


And the best part? You don’t need to overhaul your entire life. You just need to find your keystone habit—the one that triggers a positive ripple everywhere else.


💭 Question for you: What’s one habit in your life that created unexpected ripple effects?

📚 With just a week left for exams, the BIGGEST TRAP you can set for yourself is chasing new books and resources.
Scrolling Telegram or Reddit for “fast track notes” or “famous faculty summaries” feels productive—but it’s actually a distraction.

Here’s the truth:
👉Every CA influencer (including me) has an agenda to sell.
👉Everyone (including me) has a personal brand to build. So, there will NEVER be a shortage of notes.
👉The real question is—do you need them now?

Most of the time, you’re chasing because they’re free. Would you still do it if you had to pay for each one?

The problem:
👉 It shows you don’t trust your current resource.
👉 New formats/language confuse the brain.
👉 Even topics you know may look intimidating in a new layout.


✅ My recommendation: Stick to the same material you’ve always used. Ideally, the ICAI study material. But if you’ve already chosen another good reference manual, that’s fine too. The key is—STICK TO IT, no matter what.

It’s not about “which book.” It’s about how thorough you are with one.

The DO part of the solution is easy—stick to whatever material you have.
The DON’T part is difficult—exercise restraint and close the options mentally.


👉Share this post with that friend who is always in the hunt and circulating new materials in the group.

✨ The Story behind our logo.



When I was designing the logo for BecomeCA.com, I didn’t want it to just be a “design element.”

I wanted it to tell my story.

It carries two philosophies I deeply believe in — and one very personal connection.


🔹 Kaizen – the philosophy of continuous improvement.
Tiny, consistent steps over reaching for giant leaps. Instead of obsessing over the outcome and metric, striving to make one tiny improvement in every iteration.


🔹 Playing infinite games.
There are two types of games. Finite games & infinite games. Finite games you play to win (like football or cricket). Infinite games you play just for playing sake (like Monopoly). When I came out of the finite-game mindset and adopted the infinite-game mindset, my career took a positive turn.


That’s why the infinity symbol felt right. But I tilted it slightly forward — to show growth over time. And the colour green? Growth and wealth (money - something you can't separate from the CA profession).

Finally, the personal part:
I cleared my CA Inter on my 8th attempt. I cleared my CA Final also on my 8th attempt. That number stuck with me. I wanted to reframe the wound into something positive.


So, tell me, what happens when you turn an 8 sideways..? Infinity.

This logo isn’t just a brand identity.

It’s an active reminder to practice Kaizen, play the Infinite game, reframe failure into a positive identity.
