The Call That Changed My Day

“Oh shit, shit, shit, shit, shit! I’m late. I’m screwed…”

I opened the door.

Every eye in the room turned towards me.

“Mr. Tanveer, we’re glad that you were finally able to join us for the meeting,” my manager said sarcastically. “Care to explain why you’re late again, especially when you know this is an important meeting?”

“I’m sorry, sir. I was stuck in traffic.”

“This is not acceptable, Mr. Tanveer. Anyway, let’s continue with the meeting.”

The People Who Choose Us

Why friendship is one of life’s greatest gifts.

Friends……….

There are countless definitions, quotations, and proverbs about friendship. Some of my favorites are:

“Tell me who your friends are, and I will tell you who you are.”

“A friend in need is a friend indeed.”

“Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.”
— Helen Keller

“Your friend is your needs answered.”
— Kahlil Gibran

People have often asked me,

“Why do you give so much importance to your friends?”

Why do you always show up for them?

Why do you spend so much time with them?

Why do you value them so highly?

We Judge the Cover. But We Miss the Music.

“People say don’t judge a book by its cover. I say no, a book is judged by its cover. You have to work so hard that nobody judges your cover. And you have to make your book so popular that people ignore the cover.”

I recently came across an interview reel of Zakir Khan on Instagram where he said something that quietly unsettled me:

“People say don’t judge a book by its cover. I say no, a book is judged by its cover. You have to work so hard that nobody judges your cover. And you have to make your book so popular that people ignore the cover.”

It’s uncomfortable because it’s true.

We do judge.

And almost instantly.

Mushika Chapter 2: How It Works, Why It Matters, and What It Protects

Read chapter one here:

Mushika was not born out of ambition.

It was born out of necessity.

I observed two realities everywhere around me.

First—aging parents living alone while their children work in other states or countries. Simple tasks like hospital visits or daily travel became stressful and unsafe.

Second—corporate exhaustion.

People were spending hours every day driving, stuck in traffic, mentally drained before work even began.

I believed transportation should give back time, not steal it.

That belief became Mushika.

Chapter 1: “The Best Innovator of the Year Award Goes To…”

Ladies and gentlemen, may I please have your attention.

The Best Innovator of the Year Award goes to Mr. Sankeerth.

Please give him a warm round of applause.

This award is presented for a life-changing idea aimed at solving one of India’s most persistent and emotionally exhausting problems—urban traffic and daily commuting.

What makes this moment truly special is that Mr. Sankeerth does not come from an engineering or technology background. And yet, he has visualised and built an AI-driven autonomous vehicle called Mushika, designed exclusively for Indian roads.

True to its name, Mushika is small, agile, and intelligent—built to move through narrow lanes, crowded markets, and unpredictable traffic. Today, we invite Mr. Sankeerth to the dais to share his journey and the story behind Mushika.
