Apple Airpods
After years of resisting wireless headphones, I finally submitted. This product is truly transformational! Liberating, in many ways.
And a glimpse to the future of handsfree communication. https://amzn.to/3qKStH1

The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and the Horse
What a stunning discovery. I was recommended this book for Uzma (our 3yr old) but I would recommend this book to every person on this planet.
@charliemackesy is to be respected https://amzn.to/3gCHwCB

Honda Activa
I grew up riding my dad's Bajaj.
So when we sold one of our cars, I jumped at the opportunity to buy a 2-wheeler.
A great purchase especially if you have kids - they love the rides :)

Mi Smart Band
Vidur (our 9yr old) dropped in his physical activity levels due to the lockdown. So we made a deal.
You walk 10K steps a day, and you get your hour of Netflix the next day.
The band is a great product, I personally use it as well. https://amzn.to/3gDr0Cd

Wilson Clash 100
I was struggling to find the right weight for my tennis. Too light and I woudn't be able to control the ball. Too heavy and I would get tired soon.
This racquet solved it for me. Best purchase! https://amzn.to/2W3uHaX

Rode Lavaliar Go Microphone
With the amount of video content I was churning, it was time to upgrade to a lav mic. This felt great in terms of price and quantity.
I later upgraded, but this was a loyal friend during the lockdown https://amzn.to/2W5t64s

Logitech iPad Keyboard
GAME CHANGER! I rarely work on my laptop now. With this keyboard and the Apple Pencil - my productivity has gone through the roof. https://amzn.to/3qGyJ7r

@ConvertKit for my email newsletter
Struggled with other players in the space and then moved to CK - never regretted it for a day.
Terrific team and product that @nathanbarry has built there

@Razorpay as my PG for my online courses
It was the most seamless execution and top notch service. I used their Payment Pages Product and would absolutely recommend it!
@harshilmathur and team deserves all the praise and love they get.

@INDmoneyApp for making it so easy to invest in US stocks and ETFs
I tried the HDFC route earlier and the LRS paper method sucked all energy out of me. INDWealth solved that and how.
Thanks @ashishkashyap

Bought the Webinar 2000 people plan from @zoom_us and there goes no one day when I don't stop and wonder at the technology and the experience.
I remain a proud customer and a proud shareholder. Thanks @ericsyuan for a lot

A 3-week work vacation in the hills at Himalaica (Bhowali)
Been there thrice before and each time a part of me wishes that one day I have enough money to buy it out.
Then my wife brings me back to ground!
Thank god for her :)

Asics Court FF Novak
The perfect shoes for Tennis, after trying a lot of other options.
It helps that the Asics India head stays in our complex :) https://www.asics.com/us/en-us/court-ff-novak/p/ANA_1041A089-603.html

A 120 rupee knife that I bought from the Alaknanda market.
I think knives are the most under-rated kitchen tools ever! A good knife can change the experience completely, and this knife did the job for me.

I think the one purchase that gave me the most joy though was discovering that Amazon sells Swad as well (remember Swad?)
Everyday post meal, it is the thing I look forward to the most :) https://amzn.to/378n0H6

This year brought with it a lot of experiences - good and bad. As 2020 comes to an end, I just have one overarching emotion - that of gratitude.
We are privileged to be in a spot where we didn't have to go through hardships that several others went through.

I think the biggest purchase of all that I made this year, was the precious time that I got to spend with my family, my students and my followers.
Stepping down as the CEO last year seems to have been a wise decision.
