Today is September 5th. It’s Teacher’s Day, and I wish a very happy Teacher’s Day to all the teachers whom I have been a part of my life. I want to write down an important story from my life..

I was in class 8, and Maths suddenly became difficult for me. My quarterly exams came, and I failed it. I had failed for the very first time in my life. I just got 17 out of 50, and at that time, 18 or 20 was the passing score. I was a bright student, but somehow I was not able to understand Maths in class 8. I was very depressed and sad, and I felt I would never be able to clear maths again. Suddenly, the subject I used to like became a nightmare. My mother saw the problem in me. First, as every Indian parent would do, I was cross-questioned about why I failed in maths. I explained myself that I don’t understand the subject.

My mother requested a colleague of hers who taught math in her school. Her name was Monica, ma’am.She took me for one-on-one private tutoring in the mathematics subject .Instead of scolding me or just teaching me, she first understood me. She understood why I was not able to perform well. What is my fear? What is my phobia? After understanding my challenges, she beautifully crafted a course, a path which I could follow. In a couple of months, I not only fell in love with maths again, but I also scored 48 out of 50 in my half-yearly.

She continued to make me very strong in maths in class 8th, and by the time I reached class 9th, she had to leave for another city because her circumstances changed. However, the confidence she instilled in me, the belief she had in me moved me for life. She made me believe in myself again while the world mocked me for being a failure. She held my hand and made me believe in myself again. That incident not only touched me but served as the solid foundation for anything I do in my life.

Even today, when I try to do something new or whenever I face a difficult situation, I remind myself of the version of me who was in class 8th. I remind myself of the version of me who got a holding and guiding hand in the form of a teacher who made me believe in myself: I can do whatever I can do. It’s just a matter of time.

That is the importance of a teacher in one’s life, and if you get or come across an amazing teacher, that one teacher can change your life forever. On this Teachers’ Day, I want to wish every teacher out there who, despite of all the odd conditions, is committed to changing the students’ lives. Happy Teachers’ Day!

Today is August 11, 2026 and we completed 7 months in 2026. What a year it has been for me. Full of challenges and growth. This is what I wanted, didn’t I?

But as I complete 7 months in 2026, I observed a change in me. A change which I once envisioned. There was a time when I wanted to do lot more things, but was stuck in an endless loop of mediocrity. Then one day I decided to elevate myself. I started up and started experimenting things. Though I was able to complete lot of things and would also fail at times, something was missing.

Life moved ahead and I was surviving. I was doing what other would do. Eat. Work. Sleep. Repeat. My life result was no different from the average but then in July 2025 I took a big risk, I decided to move on from the life I was living and the biggest change was to move away from the project I was involved for 3 years as it was not giving any significant value to me.

This move started the biggest change in me. All of a sudden life felt empty, nothing to do. I prayed and the magic started to happen Gradually, I was surrounded by people who started influencing me in a positive way.

During this journey, I met Jaydeep. Since the day I got to work with him, life has never been the same again. Working with him has been an amazing journey. He made me meet the Manish I always dreamt to be. I have handled extremely tough and challenging things with him, he questioned me in the toughest form which made me go back to the drawing board. Working with him has turned to be blessing in disguise. I really loved the experience I had. Sometimes sour, sometimes sweet, but overall it gave an amazing impact.

Today I feel very confident to build new things and somewhere this experience helped me. Apart from this tons of other experience came in which helped me in shaping who I am.

Something, I will talk about it in my upcoming blogs.

Ahh! After years I am back to blogging and this time I am here to stay. I will be posting regularly. Today, building a personal brand is quite important and with AI coming into picture, it has been easier than ever to build our own personal brand.

The website you see on manishsingh.in was designed by me in 2021 and since then it has not seen much updates. Writing code by hand is really time consuming. With a full time job and other activities at hand, it really becomes difficult to write code regularly for a personal website.

But now, the world has changed. Designing and hosting a website has become really easy. Making a personal and impactful website is not much time consuming. With the right prompts and a clear vision, the task can be done in very less time.

Hence, I am working on the new design and will launch my website in Q2 2026 after collating all the data I have on what I have done over the past 4 years.
