Don’t be a Desi katta that blows in the hands 50 percent of the time.

That’s the advice I give to young, sharp minds who want to do something big. The ones who think deeply, speak sharply, move fast. The ones who already know they’re different, and are just waiting for the world to catch up.

Be dangerous, yes. But be dependable too.

Because intelligence alone doesn't make you useful. And unpredictability, no matter how brilliant, turns you into a liability.

I say this from experience.

There was a time I tried playing safe. I read The 48 Laws of Power. I practiced restraint. I tried not outshining the master. I smiled at mediocrity. I stayed quiet in meetings so my boss wouldn’t feel insecure.

It didn’t work.

My presence still threatened people. Especially bosses. And over time, I realised - if that's the case, I might as well give them more reasons to be threatened.

Why stay invisible and still be treated like a threat? If you’re going to be shot at, don’t walk. Fly.

So I adopted a new rule: fighter pilot mentality.

Enter the room like you're already leaving a legacy behind. Deliver with precision. Build with rhythm. Keep showing up even when the odds shift. And when it’s time, because it always is, you’ll either leave or be asked to leave. So leave on your own terms.

Because people respect consistency. Even if they fear your sharpness.

Don’t be that loose cannon everyone avoids. Don’t be the genius who never finishes. Don’t be the Desi katta - loud, messy, and 50 percent functional.

Be the long-range missile. The one that locks, calculates, waits, then lands exactly where it’s meant to.

Your edge is real. Your ideas are rare.
Now build reliability. Become the person who’s trusted to lead the strike, not just start the fire.

The world makes room for those who move with precision. Explosions grab attention.

But it’s the clean hit that changes the map.
