I Turned 24 Yesterday! Very often, I am reminded to act my age, but honestly, I don’t even feel 20. Some days, I feel like my 5-year-old self, who realized she didn’t know the road ahead and felt lost, thinking she would never find her way out of the crowd again. Some days, I feel like my 10-year-old self, who forgot the speech she had practiced for over two weeks in front of the entire school. Some days, I feel like my 14-year-old self, experiencing my first heartbreak and thinking I'd never get over it. Some days, I feel like my 19-year-old self, who thought her life was over when she failed her first exam. Some days, I feel like my 21-year-old self, who struggled to pay her bills on time. The point is, yes, I’m 24, but I am also all the years I have lived before. On different days, different versions of me show up. So, neither you nor I need to act my age because, “It’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.” It's a timeline of all the experiences, lessons, and versions of myself that have led me here. So, If you are under 24, ask questions, and if you are over 24, please answer them! Life is so much easier when we help each other out! :) #birthday #life #india

I was born into a middle-class family. My friends had scootys and cars; I had none. My friends lived in big houses; I lived in a 2 BHK rented one. My friends traveled; I walked under the sun. But these material differences weren’t the most significant thing I noticed. The biggest difference between my friends and me became clear as we grew older: it was how we valued time. Broke people will spend three extra hours doing something to save Rs. 100. People making decent money will spend Rs. 3000 to save one hour of time. They view money as a tool, not a scarce resource. They understand that time, not money, is the true scarcity and allocate it wisely. Sure, at the start, you won't be able to buy time. You need to work hard to make money. Use that money to invest in skills and knowledge to increase your earning potential. But once you transition from poor to not-so-poor, drop the broke mindset. Stop valuing your time at Rs. 300 per hour. Stop sacrificing health for money. Stop prioritizing money over time. If you're like me, your family conditioned you to think money is scarce. You need to reprogram yourself to believe it's everywhere. That's when you start to see opportunities and develop the courage to take risks. Remember, true wealth lies in how you spend your time. Invest in yourself, value your time, and watch your life transform. Thoughts?

How One Mistake Cost My Friend ₹2,500,000 but Could Not Stop His Success! My friend Kanan Bahl invested ₹2,500,000, along with his dad, in some unlisted company that later turned out to be a fraud. This mistake could have been devastating, but Kanan didn't let it define him. Although he learned some priceless lessons from the experience, he directed those lessons toward new ventures. He moved ahead to become the mastermind behind Fingrowth Media and Rupee Tool, making huge waves in the financial sector. What differentiates Kanan is that he simplifies the most complex financial concepts for readers, thereby empowering them. It is this friendly approach that has won him a following of more than 56,000 at his LinkedIn community. Other than being an expert on everything to do with finance, Kanan happens to be an excellent singer, in many ways complementing his diverse interests. Recently, he launched 1 Finance Magazine, India's only unbiased, ad-free, and exhaustive personal finance publication. The magazine publishes primary research that financial advisers can leverage to help make better decisions and communicate effectively with clients, also serving as a strong knowledge bank. Kanan's journey teaches us not to give up and that we must learn from our mistakes. Here's wishing a very happy birthday, Kanan! May your day be filled with cheer and success. What have you learned from your financial blunders? #charteredaccountant #finance #ca

CA course has no practical knowledge! That's what most people tend to think. But they're absolutely wrong. 📌 How many of you actually take MCS seriously? Are you actively engaging in networking and participating in insightful discussions? Unfortunately, for most of us, it becomes just a formality to complete! 📌 Are you actively taking part in the talent search programs conducted by ICAI? 📌 Are you participating in national and regional conferences as audience members, volunteers, or paper presenters? 📌 Were you aware of the residential programs by ICAI? 📌 Are you actually participating actively in Regional WICASA events seriously? It is easy to excuse CA programs as theoretical instead of taking up all the opportunities, unlike the MBA students who are pursuing internships beside their full-time course. It is important to learn time management, especially during the Articleship. One should keep looking out for various events ICAI organizes and participate in them Are you managing your time well to make the most out of being a CA? Happy CA Day to all the CAs and CA Aspirants! As we celebrate this special day, I am grateful to be part of this esteemed profession that offers countless opportunities for growth and learning Let's continue to make the most of our CA journey!🙌 #charteredaccountant #caaspirants #icai

I charged my uncle 10k for filing his Income Tax Return. I am sure this is a dream of every CA and CA student! With the tax season around the corner, many relatives of CAs and CA students suddenly remember (for the second time, the first being on results day 😅) that they have a CA in the family to file their returns for free. Since they are relatives, we usually don’t charge them at all. But here’s how my friend Kapil, started making a change: by sending an invoice [sample invoice attached] to plant a tree within 40 days. Isn’t it amazing? He even asked for a photo of the plantation to be sent within that time period. This tax season, let’s create an impact. Let’s not file any returns for our relatives for free but charge one plantation per return. You might think, "Ek k karne se kya farak padta hai?" But "ek ek k karne se bohot farak padta hai." Here, that additional "ek" is YOU! That’s the reason why "Farak padta hai." So, if you are going to charge your relatives 1 plantation for every ITR, comment “1 plantation” below and let’s make a difference together! 🌱 #charteredaccountant #ca #icai #taxes

My CELLPHONE helped me clear CA Yep, you read that right!!! When I was preparing for CA, I followed these steps to leverage TECHNOLOGY, and they might help you too! ✨ I opened a TELEGRAM account and joined CA study faculty groups and doubt-clearing groups. I connected with many students like me and joined STUDY SESSIONS with them. We solved each other's doubts instead of spending a lot of time searching for answers elsewhere. ✨ I used APP BLOCKERS for apps like Instagram and Twitter, which were complete DISTRACTIONS at the time. ✨ Instead of making handwritten or digital notes, I made AUDIO STUDY NOTES, which I could listen to without even looking at them. That was a GAME CHANGER. ✨ Websites like Prepca, Unacademy, and ICAI's online RESOURCES provide ample practice material. I used them to continuously PRACTICE my learnings. ✨ I used ALARMY to wake up in the morning. It has a unique feature where the alarm won't go off until you solve a PUZZLE. By the time you solve the puzzle, you're already AWAKE. ✨ I set my phone to DO NOT DISTURB mode to avoid distractions from calls and messages, except from FAMILY or close FRIENDS. Adapting to TECHNOLOGY is the best thing you can do for yourself. Are you making FRIENDSHIP with technology for your preparation? #charteredaccountant #ca #icai
