🍛 From Masala to Market: Why I Started Investing
Growing up in a Tamil household, money was often discussed in whispers—saved in steel dabbas, tucked into saree folds, or handed over with a quiet “keep this safe.” Investing? That was something “big people” did. But today, I’m here to say: investing is for all of us.
Whether you're stirring sambar or scanning Sensex, the principles are the same: patience, timing, and a pinch of risk.
🌱 Why I Started
I wanted more than just saving—I wanted growth. I wanted my money to work while I slept, cooked, or played with my kids. And I wanted to understand how the stock market, that mysterious beast, actually worked.
