Something Unexpected Just Happened.

After 4 days and 16 hours together, the AI Mastery Workshop ended.
As we wrapped up, one participant said:

"We can't stop here. We need to keep meeting."
Others jumped in:
"Yes! Share our wins and struggles."
"Learn from each other's experiments."
"Let's meet every week."

I smiled, thinking it was post-workshop energy.
A sentiment that would fade by Monday.

Monday Morning Proved Me Wrong.
The WhatsApp group EXPLODED.
Not with thank yous or goodbyes.
With AI experiments:

"I created my website!"
"Stuck on this prompt, help?"
"Built a insta reel, trending now."

Then someone posted:
"We said we'd meet. When?"


The Drama Began.
A poll was created:

📊 When should we meet?
→ Morning or evening?
→ Weekday or weekend?
→ Which day works for everyone?

The debate:

"Mornings! Fresh mind, clear focus."
"Evenings! After work is better."
"Weekends! No business interruptions."
"Weekdays! Keep the momentum."
Messages flying at 11 PM.
Business owners debating like it's a board meeting.
For a VOLUNTARY learning session.



The Decision:
Every Thursday, 8:30 AM
Over 50% have already confirmed.
And here's what made me realise this is real:

I'm joining too.
Not as the instructor.
As a participant.
Because what they're building?
I want to learn from it too.



Why This Matters:
Most workshops end with:
→ Certificates collected
→ "Great session!" messages
→ Silence by day 3

This group?
They're arguing about meeting schedules.
Creating polls.
Committing to 8:30 AM wake-ups.
For peer learning.

That's not post-workshop politeness.
That's genuine hunger.


What We'll Do Thursday:
No slides. No lectures. Just:
→ Show what you built this week
→ Share what broke (and why)
→ Get unstuck together
→ Discover new tools
→ Plan next week's experiments

Real implementations.
Real problems.
Real solutions.

Peer-to-peer learning at its best.



My Realisation:

I designed a 4-day workshop.
They're creating a continuous learning community.
I taught them AI tools.
They're teaching each other mastery.

And honestly?
I'm more excited for Thursday than I was for Day 1.
Because this time, I'm learning too.



To Everyone Who Voted in That Poll:
You didn't just pick a meeting time.
You committed to growth.
To showing up.
To being vulnerable with failures.
To celebrating wins together.
To refusing to stop learning.
That's rare.

And watching business owners in their 40s-50s debate meeting times at 11 PM on WhatsApp?
That's not a workshop outcome.
That's a movement.


P.S. For those Who still undecided  Join us. This is where the real magic happens.

Something Just Changed Everything.

Google just did what every AI image tool failed at.

They fixed THE problem.

Text in AI images. Finally readable.

Nano Banana Pro.

And it conquered what almost every AI Model messed up:

Clean. Accurate. Usable text.

The Test:

I generated the same thank you card.

Added specs.

Different fonts.

Different backgrounds.

Every single time?

Perfect text. Zero edits needed.

Why This Matters:

Before today:
→ Generate image
→ Text looks like alien language
→ Open editing app
→ Fix manually
→ Finally use

Now:
→ Generate
→ Done

What are the possibilities  : 

Business cards? Instant.

Workshop materials? Direct.

Event cards? Ready.

Social posts? No back-and-forth.

Thank you notes? One prompt away.

The Reality Check:

This was THE most demanded feature.

And Nano Banana Pro delivered.

I'm updating our entire teaching deck.

Because this isn't just an upgrade.

It's a workflow revolution.

How to Use:

Go to Gemini.

Choose Nano Banana Pro.

Select thinking mode.

Generate.

Watch text appear. Correctly.

My Take:

We spent months teaching workarounds.

"Generate, then edit text separately."

That just became obsolete.

This is 10X more useful.

Not because it's fancy.

Because it removes friction.

And friction is what stops adoption.

P.S. Check the images. Same card, different styles. Text quality? Production-ready. No edits. That's the revolution. Use It today and let me know how it goes for you .

"Seeing is Believing" Died Yesterday. 
When We Showed 50+ Business Owners & Ladies Entrepreneurs the Power of AI in 30 Seconds, Room Went Silent.

Hindustan Club, Kolkata. 5:30 PM on 20th Nov. 50+ entrepreneurs packed in the room.
I started with: "You're using a Million Dollar Bot like a ₹50 Chappu."

Then I showed them:
Image → Professinal  Video in 30 seconds (their jaws dropped) 
15-year-old writing "Chutneys of the World" book with AI
72-year-old grandmother creating Human + Batman stories for grandkids

The Questions That Came:

"What should our kids prepare for?"
"Can it REALLY make videos that fast?"
"How do we learn more?"
"Why didn't anyone tell us this before?"

The 1995 Nokia Moment:
I told them my story. 1995, Kolkata, door-to-door, heavy brick phone.
"₹45,000? Pagal ho gaye? Landline hai - ghar mein hai, office mein hai!"
10 years later? Same uncle can't sleep without phone.
Today = Same story. Different technology. Moving FASTER.

What We Showcased in 45 Minutes:
TEST 1: Save 8-10 hours weekly (100% virtual recruitment process)
TEST 2: Double your profit - Engage your customers (Image to video, live demo)
TEST 3: Transform personal life (real stories, real results)
The Dark Side They Needed to Hear:

Your face can be anyone's face in 30 seconds
Your voice can be cloned for blackmail
"Seeing is believing" is officially dead
Elon Musk says: "AI is more dangerous than nukes"

The NEW Business Reality:
4 people can build ₹100 crore companies today.
Not 40. Just 4.
Machine + Humanoid + Human = Your new workforce.

The Spontaneous Decision:
Ladies Wing members started discussing among themselves.
By the end? They decided RIGHT THERE - long-term AI course needed.
Didn't wait. Didn't think. Just DECIDED.
That's when I knew - this isn't curiosity anymore. This is URGENCY.

3 Actions I Gave Them:
If you have to use one Gen AI Platform - Use Gemini
3 days/week × 1 hour = Experiment (Tinkering)
Use beyond business - health, kids, diet, relationships

Massive Gratitude To:
🙏 Hindustan Club & Ladies Wing for hosting this critical conversation
🙏 Dr. Vijay Kejriwal for co-presenting and medical AI insights
🙏 President Sanjay Goenka | Hony. Secretary Kamal Ghelani
🙏 Ladies Wing Chairperson Nilima Goenka | Co-Chairperson Savita Agarwal
For bringing together Kolkata's business community and trusting us with this important mission.

To Everyone Who Attended:
You asked: "Nobody told us this before."
That's exactly WHY we do this work.
Now you know. Now ACT.

Your 20-30 years of domain expertise + AI = DEADLY combination.
Don't let your competitor figure this out before you do.

P.S. This is your 1995 mobile moment. Again.
Those who learned early - succeeded.
Those who waited - struggled.

Which side will you be on?

The Image below was made by a participant .

In 1995, when I was selling mobile phones the size of bricks door-to-door, people laughed.
"40,000 rupees for a phone? Are you crazy?"
Today, nobody can sleep without one.
The same picture is repeating - with Gen AI.

If you think "I used ChatGPT, so I know AI" - then you're riding a Mercedes like a bicycle.
Tomorrow I'm running a session with Dr Vijay Kejriwal specially focused for business owners at Hindustan Club where I'll show:

Why this is golden time for small businesses
How to save 8-10 hours every week
How AI can increase your profit exponentially
How to use AI to bring happiness to personal life

Simple language. No technical jargon. Short and sweet.
Interested? If you're in Kolkata and wish to join, ping me for registration.
This is free and have limited seats . First Come First served basis .

This is the 1995 mobile moment for small businesses. 
Don't miss it.

Every parent with a teenage kid should watch "Papa Yaar." 
It could be your Ikigai moment as a parent.

Last week, I spent 2 hours laughing until my jaw hurt at Zakir Khan's show. 
But I left with something unexpected—insights that mirror exactly what I see in my ikigai sessions with young kids and families.

I teach Ikigai, 
and this show could bring a completely different perspective—for parents on how to deal with kids, and for kids on why parents do what they do.

What struck me wasn't just the humor. 
It was how accurately he captured the parent-child dynamics I witness firsthand in my work.

The pressure parents unknowingly put on kids. 
The unspoken expectations. 
The emotional distance masked as discipline. 
The sacrifices used as leverage. 

Every joke landed because it was painfully true.
In my ikigai sessions, I see both sides of this struggle:

Parents who mean well but communicate poorly. 
Fathers who show love through criticism. 
Mothers who overcompensate.

Kids who feel misunderstood, 
pressured, but rarely see the fear, insecurity, and deep love behind their parents' actions.

Zakir Khan brilliantly showed both perspectives. 
Parents will see themselves and cringe. 
Kids will finally understand why their parents behave the way they do—the childhood conditioning, the societal pressure, the helplessness of wanting the best but not knowing how.

Some observations on his storytelling craft:

Universal yet personal - His Indore childhood stories somehow became every Indian family's story.
Emotional range - From laughter to tears to reflection, all within the same narrative arc.
Cultural authenticity - His Hinglish and observations felt genuine, not manufactured.
Timing and pauses - Pure craft honed over years.

If Papa Yaar is coming to your city, watch it live. 
Parents—take your teenage kids. 
Kids—take your parents. 

You'll laugh together, but more importantly, 
you might finally understand each other.

Thanks Zakir Khan for an evening that was equal parts entertainment and education.

#Ikigai #PapaYaar #ZakirKhan #Parenting #Storytelling

One of the best AI tool is completely free to use.
And 90% still don't know it exists.

NotebookLM is Google's AI tool that turns your messy documents into organised insights. 
Upload anything—PDFs, reports, notes, websites—and it instantly becomes your personal research assistant.
Ask questions. 
Get summaries. 
Connect ideas across multiple sources.

But here's where it gets insane:
NotebookLM now creates cusotmised AI-generated videos from your documents.
Not just text summaries. Actual videos with customisable:
→ Visual styles (explainer, walkthrough, presentation)
→ Tone (professional, casual, warm)
→ Focus areas (specific sections or full overview)

Let me share a hack nobody's talking about:

Link ALL your business assets first:
→ Your website pages
→ Marketing materials
→ Product docs
→ Client testimonials
→ Case studies

Then use this simple prompt:
"Make a warm, conversational video explaining our services and setting expectations for new clients."

Result? 

The best way to impress your clients in your first interaction.
No camera. 
No editing. 
No mic.

Use AI to grow faster. Not harder.

Are you still creating content the hard way?

Are designers about to become obsolete? 
The internet is going absolutely berserk over Nano Banana Pro

I don't say this lightly—but if you haven't tried Nano Banana yet, you're absolutely missing what could be the biggest shift in visual content creation since Photoshop.

Spent my weekend experimenting with it. 
And honestly? 
I'm overwhelmed.

Go to X right now. 
Hundreds of people are going berserk. 
Designers, marketers, content creators—everyone is losing their minds over what this tool can do.

The power is astonishing. 
The use cases are endless. 
The implications? Potentially industry-changing.

Here's what Nano Banana does that's making everyone question everything:

Character consistency across images - Create an AI influencer, brand mascot, or visual character and maintain perfect facial details across dozens of edits. This alone changes content creation.

One-shot editing - No more 15 iterations to get it right. Describe what you want in plain language, and it delivers. First try.

Multi-image context - Upload multiple images, blend them, edit them together. The AI understands spatial relationships and context like never before.

Text that actually works - Remember when AI couldn't spell? 
Those days are over. 
Nano Banana renders legible, accurate text inside images.

Speed - 5-10 seconds. Not minutes. Seconds.

I'm adding one fun use case here just to show you what's possible Personal Selfie Doodle . But there are so many business applications—marketing campaigns, product mockups, social media content, training materials, presentations.

We'll be sharing practical business use cases over the next couple of weeks. But for now, if you want the exact prompt I used for this, Comment with Nano Banana and I'll share it.

(Prompt inspired by an X user, Discovered & Modified by our team)

The real question: If anyone can now create studio-quality visuals in seconds with just text prompts, what happens to the design profession?

I don't have the answer yet. 
But I know this conversation is happening whether we're ready or not.
