What's the one thing you love doing without intention of making money out of it?
I have generally seen this either in reel / film life or real life, where people who love what they do, tend to be - 1. Much more happier / satisfied everyday 2. They give way more of themselves into the task not because someone demands it, but because they want to, they enjoy it 3. They constantly improve and be better at this thing 4. They aren't in it for the money. They don't do things or learn more or put more hours because it's paying them, they do it because of the love for the thing. Money is just an add-on Do you guys have anything like this in life which you enjoy doing so much and can do it without thinking about the money you'd get. This thing shouldn't be something you consume, but something you produce, even if it helps 1 person out, still counts! Eg. You do coding, learn new things in it, not because it pays you, but because it's what you love doing. You'd probably still keep doing it even if it doesn't pay you anything
Interesting answers.
Teaching history? Anything in particular?
History is weird. I don't know shit about Indian history but at the same time I know every single Greek myth out there.

I'm passionate about personal finance. So I took agency for some financial instruments like NPS, insurance etc. I have a 8 digit investment portfolio + real estate but helping others in personal finance makes me contend.
That's nice!
Helping others how?
What's your age when you made your portfolio 8 figures? I am assuming 8 figures is 1 - 10 Crores, right?

Something that gives me happiness and peace. I am doing nothing compared to other folks who are working tirelessly for animal welfare and protecting.

Doesn't count. It's entirely consuming and doesn't help a single person out there
Yeah it does. Helps Zomato/Swiggy to employ people.
And it doesn't consume me, I do it.

I don't know anymore. I have been numbed out by life. I guess I'll open a garden cafe. You get a free chai if you post a picture of you hugging a plant.
Does that make you happy? Is that something that you are passionate about?

I don't think I'm passionate about anything. I just like being able to afford a meal with friends & family. Able to fulfill my needs. Buy things that I like.

It’s very tough to say with corporate roles that we hold
I love what I do, but not sure if I’d do it for free :p
I’d love to make people laugh for free - but making memes is hardly well paid, and I’m too awkward to do a stand up in front of a crowd 🥲
I understand that. But think in this way, assume that money isn't an object for you to worry about. Now that it's sorted, what would you love doing which creates value in society?
So, binge watching, travelling etc with sole purpose of consuming doesn't count.
Do you enjoy making people laugh? Do you always constantly learn new things in it?
If yes, then there you have it, something you love doing and don't mind doing it for free

Memes. Anytime one would go viral I would be so happy. Definitely kept me motivated to do even better the next time.
Ah, nice answer.
Question -
it didn't go viral consistently, would you end up not loving it?

Love to cook, can cook and experiment for friends and family :)
if money was absolutely no concern, I'd put money behind learning and perfecting cooking, baking and bartending.
Amazing answer! Cooking actually can bring people together. When you cook to serve others that's something you can producing for them. And if you are passionate to do it for free, I'd say, you should consider it sometime
Hehe, I don't really feel I'm that good 🥲
But would love to pick that up.
I love acts of service for people I'm closest to, very recently cooked malai kofta and upma for my date. 🤭🤪

I have hated mugging up and learning irrelevant things just for the sake of it since starting JEE prep, so was not amused to find that DSA has the same role as PCM here (Mostly irrelevant but necessary) . Found out the beauty that is data science. Took a leap of faith and committed to building out a career in this domain even though initial average and top percentile salaries in SWE are much higher. Turned out well for me and after years finally at peace with self. Money is good but it's this addictive peace that keeps me going.
One great quote from Breaking Bad that always inspires me:

What's something about DS that makes you happy? Will you do it for free if DS doesn't pay you?

I think mainly its the real life applicability on the trot and domain agnostic predictive and understanding power . I still do it in my free time usually mixing it with my domains of interest particularly financial derivatives (i work in healthtech) , so I would like to think I'll still do it even if I'm not getting paid for it.

I would train to become a Pilot. It has always been a dream since I was a kid but couldn't be fulfilled due to financial constraints.
So become a pilot, then what? If pilot didn't pay you money, would you still want to become a pilot?

I would love to join music people and create dope ass music. I'm learning piano. It's so much more difficult than it seems. But with a group of like minded people, it feels amazing. These days any sound that I hear feels music to me. And this is not a passing cloud, has been happening with me since 8 9 months. I guess I'll write screenplays and direct movies if not music. I'd love to cook too. God I want to do so many things 😂
I understand that. But you have to pick one! And it's something that you are so passionate about that you are ready to do it for free
I don't think travelling counts. It's entirely something that you consume, not produce
But, yeah, photography is a nice thing to have interest about

Get to solve interesting challenging problems daily/weekly. Making Strategic steps. That takes you through stress, experimentation, depression, frustration, ...and sometimes eventually goosebumps. Self proud moments. I love brain mas*****ation.
Like what? Can you give some examples of things you have solved that you are passionate about?

About two years ago, I designed a solution to solve traffic problems in the city. But I could fight against governmental conventional procedures.
Recently, a few days ago, I devised a tactic to increase Amazon sales during checkout to get free delivery. I think to save Rs. 83 delivery charge on purchase of Rs.387, if I could buy Rs. 113 gift card to be eligible for free delivery, as of total purchase of Rs 500.
Last year, I found what my calling is and am working on that for rest. Look around for any resources/jugad, to build it. Though I had, three other quick rich startup schemes as usually happens in the process, I am not distracted by thems anymore.

Learning length and width of mathematics, Vedas and spiritual education.
What's the end goal? Because learning is mostly for self, and that just means consuming. What are you producing for the world?
