Building Brew - a Smart Wallet that helps you earn up to 10% yield with DeFi. Mehul and I started working on Brew after going down the rabbit hole of Decentralized Finance early in 2021. We came out of it amazed and convinced that the future of banking will be built on top of DeFi.

The Zen Master and the Little Boy

In the year 2011, on a flight back from Panama to India I watched a movie called Charlie Wilson's War. Tom Hanks is a brilliant actor and the movie in itself was reasonably well made. However, the thing that stood out most for me, something that I found very deep and profound was The Zen Master Story narrated by Philip Seymour Hoffman to Tom Hanks in a scene. Here it goes

A boy is given a horse on his 14th birthday. Everyone in the village says, “Oh how wonderful.” But a Zen master who lives in the village says, “We'll see.” The boy falls off the horse and breaks his foot. Everyone in the village says, “Oh how awful.” The Zen master says, “We'll see.” The village is thrown into war and all the young men have to go to war. But, because of the broken foot, the boy stays behind. Everyone says, “Oh, how wonderful.” The Zen master says, “We'll see”.
