Little did I know, that simple decision would alter the course of my life.As someone from a non-finance background, I was drawn to a modest book about investing. with an engineer’s mindset (Master’s in Engineering), I approached investing analytically. To my surprise, I found it far simpler than the complexities of engineering.That one book became the cornerstone of my investment philosophy. I’ve distilled these learnings into my book,*“My Money is My Buddy,”* which went on to become an Amazon weekly best-seller. the years, I’ve had the pleasure of watching my investments grow using the straightforward strategies I learned from legends like Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett, and Mohnish Pabrai. It’s incredible how simple, fundamental principles can compound wealth beyond imagination. Universe gives you what you deserve. So our step towards anything has to become deserving so that universe shows you/introduces you great things ( or I can say unfolds infront of you). Lets inspire everyone for \"best human possibilities.\"
