Is your life colourful?

Not just on Instagram. 😄
I mean really colourful.

Do your days have a little madness, a little music, a little adventure, a few unexpected turns… and enough moments that make you stop and think, “Damn, life is good!”?

Because sometimes, everything around us is perfectly fine, yet life feels dull.

Not because something is wrong, but because something inside us has gone quiet.

We start feeling like we’re not enough, not where we should be, not moving at the right pace… and suddenly, all the colours fade.

And sometimes, life outside is a complete mess. Yet you’re at peace inside.

You know you’re giving it your best, making the most of what you have and somehow, the world looks beautiful again.

Maybe colour has less to do with what life gives us and more to do with how we choose to see it.

So, live a little.

Take the trip.
Say yes.
Laugh too loudly.
Try something ridiculous.
Meet new people.
Get lost.
Dance badly.
Eat the dessert.
Change your plans.
Make memories.

You get one life.

Make it colourful.
Make it messy.
Make it fun.
Make it yours.

Just live. ❤️🌈

An absolute honour to address the youth at the Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji's NaMo for Viksit Bharat event in Vadodara, an event aimed at connecting with the youth and inspiring them to be active participants in India's journey towards a Viksit Bharat.

And what a day it was!
Watching Hon'ble PM sir walk in like a rockstar and connect with Gen Z and the youth of Gujarat like never before was truly an unprecedented sight.

The energy, the excitement and the connection were something I will remember for a long, long time.

Definitely a core memory!
The Hon'ble Prime Minister also inaugurated and dedicated development projects worth more than R35,000 crore.

But what stood out equally was his message to India's youth: to skill themselves for the future, embrace emerging technologies like Al, and see themselves not merely as beneficiaries of India's growth, but as the very force that will drive it.

I had the privilege of sharing with the youth the story of Viksit where we started, how far India has come, and the
incredible journey that has brought us here.

But more importantly, I spoke about what comes next, and the role each one of us has to play in it.

A Viksit Bharat cannot be built by governments alone. It will be built by the choices, efforts and priorities of its young citizens.

Lurged the youth to bring a nation-first attitude in their efforts, their approach, their priorities and their decisions.

It is our journey. It is our responsibility. And it is our time.

I had never done spiritual storytelling before.

In fact, it was never something I considered my forte. But this was for Krishna, so I took the plunge.

What happened thereafter is something I will carry with me for a very long time.

To stand before thousands of people and tell stories from Krishna’s life, and then to see those stories touch people so deeply, to see tears in their eyes, their complete attention, their smiles and their silence, was an experience I can never fully put into words.

But I know one thing for certain: I give all the credit to Krishna.

He gave me the opportunity, He gave me the stories, and somehow, He gave me the ability to tell them in a way that people could receive them.

This experience also helped me discover another side of my own craft. I realised that when a story is told with the right intent, with sincerity, and for a cause greater than oneself, people open their hearts to it.

And perhaps that is what Krishna did for me too.

While discovering Krishna, I discovered myself.

With every story, every leela and every layer of His personality, I found answers to questions I had carried within me. And just when I thought I understood Him, another layer would unfold.

That, perhaps, is the beauty of Krishna.

The more you discover Him, the more you discover yourself.

Krishna: The All-Attractive!

There is perhaps nothing in this universe more enchanting, more captivating, more beautiful than my Krishna.

At krishnotsavam, a 3 day, larger-than-life celebration of Krishna's birth, life, leela and philosophy, I had the privilege of bringing alive different facets of Krishna through storytelling.

And the more I read about Krishna, the more I realize how little we truly know of him.

Because Krishna has a million dimensions.

With every layer you uncover, an entirely new Krishna reveals himself.

A new thought. A new philosophy. A new way of looking at life.

He is the All-Attractive.
The All-Enchanting.
The All-Divine.
The All-Loving.
The All-Wisdom.

And perhaps that is the magic of Krishna, you don't merely discover him, you keep discovering yourself through him.

Over these three days, we are exploring three beautiful facets of his world:

Day 1: Devotion
The Krishna who makes the heart surrender.

Day 2: Enchantment
The Krishna whose flute, smile and leela can captivate the soul.

Day 3: Celebration
The Krishna who teaches us to embrace life. In all its colours, contradictions and magnificence.

I got a chance to tell these stories. But somewhere along the way, Krishna ended up telling me a few stories too.

Two more days to go.
If you are in Surat, do not miss this spectacle.

Come experience Krishna, not just as a deity you worship, but as a world you can enter.

Looking forward to seeing you all in Surat.
Jai Shri Krishna.

Your heart was never meant to be reasonable.

It will ask for more.
More dreams.
More experiences.
More places.
More adventures.
More of the things that make you feel alive.

And sometimes, it will make you want to do the most random things.

Go somewhere without a reason.

Chase a dream that makes no sense to anyone else.

Take the road you weren’t supposed to take.

Want something simply because your heart wants it.

And honestly, what’s wrong with that?

Aashiq hai, chor nahin hai.
Dil pe koi zor nahin hai.

We spend so much of our lives feeling guilty for wanting more.

As if wanting more means we aren’t grateful for what we already have.

It doesn’t.

You can be grateful for everything you have
and still dream of everything you don’t.

You can love your life
and still want to experience more of it.

You can be content
and still be hungry.

Because you get this life only once.

So don’t feel apologetic for the dreams that keep you awake.

Don’t feel guilty for wanting more.

Don’t suppress every random desire just because it doesn’t fit the plan.

Some things don’t need logic.

Some things just need to be lived.

Listen to your heart.

It may not always know the way.

And that’s the whole point.

Aashiq hai ye… chor nahin hai. ❤️

Wear your identity with pride, no matter where.

One of the things I learned during my recent trip to Paris was that culture doesn’t have to be confined to the places it comes from.

There were several occasions when I stepped out onto the streets of Paris in traditional Indian attire.

Just casually, not for an event.

And what struck me wasn’t just the turning heads. It was what those turned heads meant.

People weren’t confused. They were curious.

There is a difference between standing out because you don’t belong, and standing out because you belong so completely to something that it becomes magnetic.

Paris didn’t need another person trying to adapt to its aesthetic.

It gave me an opportunity to bring a different aesthetic into it.

A reminder that the world is larger, older and richer than any one city’s definition of style.

And I could do that without saying a word.

That, to me, is the deeper truth about cultural identity.

Your identity is a part of what makes you stand out. Bring it with you, wherever you go.

We often think fashion is about fitting into the environment. But perhaps the most powerful kind of style does the opposite.

It tells people where you come from.

What shaped you. What you value.

And what you are proud to carry with you.

Your Gujarat. Your India. Your heritage. Your colours, craftsmanship, traditions and stories.

None of these were meant to shrink just because you entered a different room.

So no, don’t always dress for the destination.

Dress for your identity also sometimes.

Because the moment you stop asking, “Will this fit in?” and start asking, “Does this represent me?”…..your presence changes.

You are no longer seeking approval from the room.

You are adding something to it.

Wear your identity.

Not as a costume.

As a conviction.

Had the honour of hoisting the Tricolour at the
RSS headquarters in Gujarat, followed by Bharat Mata Poojan.

I also had the opportunity to share my thoughts on something I believe is becoming increasingly important....the freedom to think and the freedom to form our own opinions.

In an age of narrative wars, algorithms and concentrated control over information and Al, we must remain alert.

Our thoughts should not be shaped simply by what the algorithm shows us, or by narratives created elsewhere.

We must stay connected to our roots, question everything, and have the courage to form our own opinions.

Because independence is not just the treedom of a nation.

It is also the freedom of the mind.

Jai Hind.

You're terrified of being ordinary.

The thought of living a normal, average life quietly scares you. If "what if I'm nothing special" keeps you up at night, read this fully.

Everyone around you seems to be building something huge. Big titles, big followings, big lives. And there's this low hum of panic that maybe you'll just be... regular.

A normal job, a normal house, a normal life that nobody writes about.

We've been sold a strange idea. That if you're not exceptional, you've somehow failed. That ordinary equals wasted.

But here's what that fear is quietly doing to you.

IT'S MAKING YOU HATE A LIFE YOU HAVEN'T EVEN LIVED YET.

You can't enjoy what you have because you're too busy panicking that it isn't impressive enough.

You chase bigger and bigger, not out of love for it, but out of terror of being seen as average.

And here's the part nobody says out loud. Most of the people you're trying to impress are strangers you'll never meet, holding standards that will never make you happy anyway.

You're burning your one life trying to escape "ordinary" for an audience that doesn't even care.

The truth is, a so-called ordinary life done with love is not small.

A person who is present with their family, kind to people, content in their own skin, that's not a failure.

That's something most "extraordinary" people are secretly chasing and can't find.

You're allowed to want big things. Just don't let the fear of ordinary poison the good life that's right in front of you.

So here's the practice. Today, find one ordinary thing in your life and appreciate it fully.

A meal. A person. A quiet evening. Let it be enough, just for a moment.

A life doesn't have to be loud to be worth living.

A gentle reminder to live a little more in the moment. 🌿

We're so busy planning tomorrow that we often forget to experience today.

We're thinking about the next meeting, the next goal, the next vacation, the next version of ourselves. And while we're busy preparing for life, life quietly keeps passing by.

One day you'll realize that the moments you were rushing through were the moments you miss the most—the late-night conversations, family dinners, random drives, sunsets you almost didn't stop to watch, and the people who were there without asking for anything in return.

Not every moment needs to be captured.

Not every second needs to be productive.

Some moments are meant to be felt.

So today, put your phone down for a while. Take a deep breath. Laugh a little longer. Tell someone you appreciate them. Watch the sky change colors.

Because life isn't happening someday.

It's happening right now.
