Startup culture has an untold truth: your organization becomes a small, close-knit family. You work hard, push limits daily, and celebrate together to stay motivated and connected. During my time at PeopleStrong, team outings played a vital role in building energy and trust. One such unforgettable experience took place in September 2016, at a resort on the outskirts
This photo frame memoir captures a vivid chapter from my PeopleStrong startup journey, where work felt like family and memories were created beyond office walls. In September 2016, our team outing to an adventure resort near Gurgaon became a perfect reflection of startup cultureâhigh energy, broken hierarchies, shared laughter, and pure bonding.

Editing large files on production servers is a reality every serious engineer eventually faces. Log files run into gigabytes. Configuration files stretch across thousands of lines. One wrong command can freeze your terminalâor worse, overload a live server. This is where the VI editor earns its reputation. For 20+ years, Iâve lived at the intersection of code
In the Linux world, tools come and go, but a few remain timeless. The VI editor is one of them. Despite being over four decades old, VI continues to be a core skill for Linux server administrators, DevOps engineers, cloud architects, and software developers. Whether you manage on-prem servers, cloud VMs, containers, or embedded systems, knowing VI
In India, startups have traditionally grown within the private sector, driven by ideas, funding, and market-led acceleration. A significant shift began under the BJP-led government with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who actively promoted a nationwide startup culture. One key initiative was ranking Indian states on startup friendliness, bringing governance into the innovation conversation. As a founder of ArcTop Labs
Some moments in life arrive quietly yet leave a lasting imprint on your thinking and values. One such rare moment came in November 2014, when I met Retired Major General Gagan Deep Bakshi. He is a decorated Indian Army veteran, respected combat leader, author, and widely known military and war analyst. Today, he appears regularly on national television discussing wars,
US strikes in Nigeria citing protection of Christians, and targets Venezuela in the name of drugs and democracyâcalling it national interest. When Indians ask why threats to Hindus and national security in neighboring states go unanswered, weâre told restraint equals strength. But symbolism and IPL bans donât deter terror. A credible nation responds with consistency,
Growth rarely announces itself loudly. It shows up quietlyâone reader at a time, one country at a time, one request at a time. For NextStruggle.com, 2025 was exactly that kind of year. In 2025, NextStruggle.com quietly evolved into a global chronicle, capturing technology, memoirs, social observations, and lived experiences through my #AskDushyant lens. What started as a personal
Change Is the Only Constant: 2025 taught me that growth is not always upward. Sometimes, growth means returning, slowing down, and reconnecting. Between fatherhood, faith, family, and relocation, life quietly transformed. This year became an experience of change, continuity, and deeper meaning. Happy New Year 2026
Looking back at 2025, time felt unusually fast despite a calmer and less stressful lifestyle.Work never truly stopped, but the pressure softened, creating space for reflection and presence. Life reminded me that busyness does not always mean progress. Sometimes, stillness carries deeper lessons than constant motion. Fatherhood: Learning Life Again Through Small Eyes This year revolved
When courts appear softer on power than on crime, citizens stop believing in justice. Unnao Rape caseâitâs a warning. Powerful politician gets bail. The system watches. Citizens feel helpless. This is how trust in the Indian judiciary is destroyedâcase by case.

On 15 December, I set out on one of my most audacious adventures, riding my Harley Davidson from NCR to Indoreâover 850 kilometers in a single day. This long-distance bike ride tested every rule riders usually avoid. My ride began in winter fog, racing uncertainty about reaching on time, a firm decision not to postpone,
Crypto security rarely fails because cryptography is weak. It fails because attackers understand human behavior better than most users do. In my 20+ years in the technology industry, Iâve learned that most security failures donât happen because cryptography is brokenâthey happen because human trust is. Fake crypto apps and wallets have now become one of the
Cryptocurrency ownership rests on one fundamental principle that never changes:Â whoever controls the private keys controls the money. Everything elseâapps, exchanges, dashboards, and interfacesâis merely a layer of convenience. Hardware wallets exist to ensure that this control remains firmly in your hands, secured offline and beyond the reach of digital threats. Over my 20+ years in
Entering the crypto world often starts with a wallet. But many beginners make a critical mistake: they assume one wallet can support every blockchain. The reality is different blockchains operate on independent networks, use different address formats, and rely on unique transaction rules. Sending crypto to a wallet that doesnât support that network can result in permanent loss of funds.
Cryptocurrency adoption continues to rise, and more users are stepping into the world of digital assets. One of the first decisions every beginner must make is choosing a crypto wallet. The right wallet ensures security, convenience, and access to key features like token trading, NFTs, and decentralized apps (dApps). For over two decades, Iâve been
