Something About India Is Happening to Me

I don’t know when I started thinking about India.

It began while looking for something else — a location, a technical detail —and I ended up wondering why I never hear about India in the news.

No wars.

No scandals.

No geopolitical posturing.

Silence.

But a silence with presence.

And yet, it’s everywhere.

In the chips, in science, in the movies,in the hands that hold half the planet without making a sound.

As if it knew exactly when to speakand when to let the world wear itself out.

India seems to have a kind of strategic autonomy — one that doesn’t shout, but can be felt.

It doesn’t start the fire, but it has it ready.

India doesn’t look like it’s competing; it looks like it keeps creating.

Chaotic without apologizing.

Spiritual without religion.

Capitalist without cynicism.

Coherent within the overflow.

While others argue about systems, India builds its own.

It doesn’t copy or protest — it invents.

It prefers to focus its fire on making something work, even if no one understands it.

It would rather be the engine than the noise.

Maybe that’s the lesson:that power doesn’t come from declaring yourself a power.

But in learning to hold your own fire.

In finding calm in the middle of the noise.

In building systems — internal and external — that work with the day, not against it.

That’s what I try to bring together every time I share something:

tools that lower the noise,

ideas that make the chaos make sense,

resources that give you back the energy

to keep creating and living a little better.
