In a world obsessed with picture-perfect weddings and Instagrammable moments, it's easy to lose sight of what truly matters in a marriage. While couples spend months (sometimes years) planning their big day, few pause to plan for the actual life that follows. And that’s exactly what Dr. A Velumani, the founder of diagnostic giant Thyrocare, is urging people to reflect on.
Known for his sharp wisdom and straight talk, Velumani recently took to X (formerly Twitter) to highlight the difference between two types of marital mindsets. According to him, there are those who use their money, knowledge, and energy to plan for 50 years of peaceful married life. Then, there are others who exhaust all their resources on a 50-day extravaganza — smiling, laughing, and living it up… only to be left with little after the sparkle fades. His message was simple but hard-hitting: “prioritize peace”
Velumani is all about priorities
Velumani’s post has struck a chord with many who are increasingly beginning to question the idea of “big fat Indian weddings” that often leave couples emotionally and financially drained before the marriage even begins. To drive his point home, the self-made billionaire, whose net worth is estimated at over Rs 5,000 crore, shared another thought-provoking post about the role of priorities in life.
In a separate tweet, he emphasized that it doesn’t matter whether you have money or a degree — what truly defines your path are your priorities. And your priorities, he says, shape your desires, which in turn shape your destination.

Prioritize to live with peace.

Degree is there or not.
Priorities define desires.
Desires define destinations.
Set priorities right !!!
