Rediscovering Hope in the Face of Loss

I have started this new weekly newsletter – The Almanack of Good Life – to share all that I am reading and reflecting upon about living a good life. It’s a new attempt, but I hope to take this far. In this age of constant information overload, I’ve found immense value in taking time to pause and reflect upon meaningful insights about life. This newsletter is my way of sharing that journey with you.

Each week, I’ll curate a selection of thought-provoking ideas, inspiring quotes, and practical wisdom I’ve encountered in my readings and personal reflections. My goal is to create a space for us to explore together what it means to live with purpose, kindness, and fulfilment. I look forward to your kind support.

Warren Buffett’s $1 Test

One of the critical choices each business faces at the end of every year is whether to give its profits back to the owners (that’s what dividends are) or retain some money to grow.

Now, if the business is keeping that money, you as an owner better make sure the managers – the capital allocators – are using it well.

But how do you test for that?

Raising Money-Wise Kids in a World of Excess

I have been thinking a bit more about money lately than I usually do. Not just because my son asked for a ₹10,000 pair of sneakers last week (he does not ask much, and so this surprised me a bit), but because I have been wondering if I am doing this whole “teaching kids about money” thing right.

In the last edition of The Almanack of Good Life, I wrote about the importance of health and time over money and recounted the story of William Vanderbilt, who believed the burden of managing his father’s empire had broken his health.

What I’m Reading

Wit and Wisdom of Charlie Munger

I am a loner and have worked alone for almost the whole of my time at Safal Niveshak, which is for the past 13 years, but I understand the importance of having the right partner. For me, that partner is my wife. 🙂

But if you are looking to find a good partner for work, you may want to look into the 60-year long partnership of Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger, which sadly ended late last year with the passing away of Charlie.
