The short version
In 2010 I was a BE Information Technology student at TKIET Warananagar. My mama, Sanjay Bhatgaonkar, my mother's brother, suggested I register namase.com and helped me do it, for one reason: it was my surname and nobody had taken it. It became a tips and tricks site. Computer tricks, Linux commands, Windows hacks, whatever I was learning that week.
That site grew up and became TechLila, which I still run. After graduation I joined TCS. Everyone calls it a dream job, and within two months I knew it was not for me, so I left to write full time. Trust me, it looked like a bad decision to everyone around me. Not to me.
Since then I've co-founded a couple of companies, spent thousands of hours in the gym and on the badminton court, and written a lot on the internet. This journal is where that writing lives.

Things I believe
In my own words, from the entries
Nowadays, every shirt, T-shirt is lucky because “I” wear it.

Sometimes opportunity knocks your door, but you should have prepared yourself enough to recognise it.

It's not important how much you earn, but it's really important the ways you're using to earn!
Rajesh Namase · 2015
Only earning money is not enough. One should know how to utilize the money that one has earned!

In my honest opinion, “I do not have time” is a lame excuse.
Rajesh Namase · 2017Read the entry →
Invest in strong relationships with family, friends and smart people. It gives more return than the stock market.

How I write
Only when something is finished, and never on a schedule. I sit with an idea until it turns into the kind of lesson I would tell a friend over chai, then I write it the way I would say it. Every opinion, mistake and story here is mine, lived first and written after. If one of them saves you a year, that is the whole point.
What I write about
Four things
Now
September 2026
TechLila, which started life as this domain, and WebGeeksMedia with Tushar Thakur.
Gym in the morning or badminton court, 90 minutes each.
It never stops. The day I stop is the day I start going backwards.
Dated on purpose. If this is stale, that is a fact about me worth knowing.
Where to start
