Single-Sentence-Summary: Antifragile reveals how some systems thrive on shocks, volatility, and uncertainty, instead of breaking from them, and how you can adapt more antifragile traits yourself to thrive in an uncertain and chaotic world.

This book is gold especially for people like me who left or about to leave their job without any idea of what to do next. [Read about why I left the Job I Loved]

Its been 4 months with this adventure, new learning & experience. 24 hours a day is not enough really to plan my day full of meeting people, reading books and marathoning on Netflix with Shark Tank, Black mirror, Genius series, World War documentaries, conspiracy theories, Royal Family and Narcos to name a few.

Randomness, uncertainty, chaos: you want to use them, not hide from them. You want to be the fire and wish for the wind.

While the first month was tough as hell to break the job routine, things settled sooner and I was much at ease with myself without a routine to life.

Create the urgency for living the life you want.

I soon realized where my passion lies, that I love doing things from the scratch, love meeting and connecting people, strive for action and activities.

I have started working with a Japanese & a Singaporean company both with an amazing team and a great promise of action.

• Progate.com [prog-8.com] - Japan's biggest online platform where anyone can learn modern programming skills. It offers a practical learning experience that helps build full-stack applications and is being used by over 400,000 students in 12 countries. I will be joining the Board of Directors to lead the strategy and growth.
• KeywordAsia - Series of conferences being launched in Asia to create a content-driven initiative with multi-platform learning opportunities for the Deep Tech community. Conceptualized by a veteran like Kavita who in her previous role produced the famous Click Asia Summit. I will be the Asia representative for driving partnerships and engagements.

With these two roles, I look forward to getting a fresh perspective on things, work in new industries & technologies in-depth and working across geographies.

We don’t want to just survive uncertainty, to just about make it. We want to survive uncertainty and, in addition—like a certain class of aggressive Roman Stoics— have the last word."
