Market Volatility

When I first entered the world of the stock market, I had only a basic understanding. After watching series like Scam 1992, I felt like I should do something like Harshad Mehta. I also jumped in to try my luck in the market.

My learning journey started with a bang! YouTube, books, websites – I consumed everything I could. Candlestick patterns, support & resistance, technical analysis, option greeks (theta, delta, gamma, vega) – I learned it all.

I made my first profit and thought – "This is a money-making machine!" The moment I made money, I felt like I had become a professional trader. Every day, as soon as the stock market opened, I would sit in front of the monitor with greedy eyes!

"Risk hai to Ishq hai" – But in reality… Risk is just risk!

When I was making a profit, it was pure joy! But when losses started piling up, my ego got in the way – "This is just a phase! My time will come again!"

And then began the dangerous cycle of investing and losing...

1st Time – "This is not for me!"

After my first big loss, I felt that this wasn’t my game, and I should quit trading! So, I stopped.

But then greed pulled me back…

2nd Time – "Let’s try again!"

After some time, I decided to learn option trading again. I took paid memberships, followed pro traders' strategies, and thought, "This time, I’ll trade smartly!"

Again, I made some profit – "Yes! Now I understand the right way!" But then, once again, losses started coming in… and this time, everything collapsed!

"Even stop-loss doesn’t stop!"

After a massive loss, I told myself again – "That’s it! I will never trade again!"

Trading vs. Reality

When I made a profit, I felt like a pro-trader.
When I made a loss, I realized that thinking like the market is not easy.
My biggest mistake – emotional trading and taking excessive risks.

3rd Time – "Last Try! This time, systematic approach!"

After a long break, I entered the market again – this time with better strategies, more knowledge, and more patience.

I focused on risk management, capital allocation, and diversification. But… this time too, the market did what it always does – "Bye Bye, Capital!"

And finally... My capital became zero!

"Left it for the last time!"

After losing for the third time, I understood that entering the market is easy, but exiting is difficult! Finally, I quit the stock market forever!

My message for you:

The stock market is not a lottery where you can test your luck. If you cannot control your mind and emotions, the market will wipe out your balance!

A Forgotten Bank Account, a Train Sprint, and Spicy Ghughra

So, I did a thing. I went back to Surendranagar. Yeah, that Surendranagar. The one I lived in for two years, in a hostel, for school. It’s been over a decade since then, which is a truly disgusting realization because, excuse me, where is time going? Last time I was there? Two years ago. Mission: Close my two ancient, long-forgotten bank accounts. Why did I have them? Oh, because back in my student days, they made us open accounts to receive scholarship money. I closed one that day, but the second one? The bank was like, “Yeah, come back in two days.” And I was like, “Haha, no.” Because making a special trip from Ahmedabad just to fill out paperwork? Not happening. But then, fast forward to yesterday. I needed a break from the office, and my brain went, You know what sounds like a fantastic getaway? Wrapping up unfinished financial bureaucracy. Also, having an unused bank account floating around makes me nervous. Like, what if some guy at the bank is out there using my non-e...

If I Could Be Stronger For Someone

Sometimes, I wake up and feel like I have nothing to chase. Not in a sad way, just in an I’m fine where I am way. Like, yeah, life isn’t perfect. Maybe my job isn’t what I want it to be, maybe my business isn’t growing like I hoped, maybe I don’t have that person I can be completely myself around. And instead of trying to change things, I just accept them. Because leaving, quitting, or even trying to start over feels like too much. But then I wonder—what if I had to be stronger for someone else? Take Tanjiro from Demon Slayer, for example. He didn’t just decide to become strong because he wanted to. He had to. He had someone to protect, someone whose life depended on him not giving up. And even when everything seemed impossible, when he could have just accepted that life was unfair, he kept going. Not for himself, but for Nezuko. I think about that a lot. How sometimes, we only push forward because someone else needs us to. How there are days when the thought of quitting my job, shutti...
