Of all the work that I do, it's the initiatives under The #PapaCJHappinessProject that are most meaningful to me. I'd love for you to share tweets in this thread if any of this work resonates with you. A few stories can be read here as well: amzn.to/2qFJ8Go
Thank you 🙏
Naked Leadership is of the most unique leadership coaching modules you can ever attend, in a corporate organisation, and now, at a university.
The first part is the easiest thing that will ever be asked of you & the second part might be the hardest 👇

My experience teaching at Ashoka University.
As AI gets better at doing our thinking, the question we should be asking is whether we are getting smarter, or simply getting comfortable outsourcing our brains. Worth a read before you delegate your next thought!

This clip is from 2014. I wrote the line in 2004 & Indians have proudly used it all over the world since. Now @Suhelseth has introduced the line to @elonmusk. I hope you enjoy the original 2004 comedy set from London: youtu.be/GCZtGK2xvGw?si=mYBa… - these were the first 5 mins I wrote.

Line was written in 2004. I hear @elonmusk has been introduced to it too now.
This clip was shot in London in 2005. I hope you enjoy my 1st comedy set 👇

I put quite a bit of effort into preparing this @TEDx talk at @AshokaUniv
It has received little traction since its release but I’m happy with the thoughts I have put out.
I hope the people who need to hear them find it when the time is right.

Finally, my kinda nightclub!
📚 Au Japon, des gens vont désormais en boîte de nuit… pour s’asseoir silencieusement et lire un livre pendant qu’un DJ joue de la musique d'ambience.
Le concept s’appelle JUCY BOOK RAVE et se déroule notamment dans un club souterrain de Shimokitazawa, à Tokyo. Ici, pas besoin de danser ni de hurler pour parler à la personne située à 30 centimètres de vous. Les participants viennent avec un livre, s’installent dans la pénombre et lisent pendant que la musique accompagne leur soirée.

I felt a kaleidoscope of emotions as I walked the streets of a city where I spent some of my most formative years.
I have captured those feelings in their rawest form.
Are there places where memories & emotions still arrive in waves whenever you return?

Dear @dtptraffic - I’m guessing this is Speed Post given they felt the need to break a red light.
This was at 6.14pm on 19 Sep 2026 at the crossing of Kama Koti Marg and Tamil Sangam Marg.
