Chatted with Kalki Koechlin, aimlessly walked from Dadar to Mahim, caught a screening of EEAAO and played 8-Ball pool till 3AM at a freakin PVR with a couple who work at my previous organisation’s recently-exited PE fund.
This city is so random I love it.

My theory: Clubs play loud music so that you speak on top of your voice which makes your mouth dry which makes you order more drinks which increases their business since drinks have the best margins which leads to more clubs opening which leads to your hearing disability

Idk this might be random but if anybody in Mumbai ever wants to keep their luggage; crash for a couple of nights; eat some amaze dal-chawal; my house is open.

I love non-institutional friendships (i.e not related to school, college, work, housing etc.) sooo much.
You’re just two individuals who love hanging with each other not because you share a place, but because you want to share your time.

One of the better things about growing up is that you understand what your ‘non-negotiables’ are.
Especially when it comes to relationships.
Good communication is a non-negotiable. Respecting each other’s love language is a non-negotiable. Trust. Loyalty. Empathy.

"The election results suggest that while the Congress can successfully appeal to the poor, it has not been able to reach out to the urban middle class, which remains enthralled by Modi’s charisma."

Have you noticed how some companies are attracting employees with not just salaries, ESOPS, or other perks.
But with fancy/lofty titles?
There's actually a term for this. It's called title inflation.

So no, it's not just the startups who want to work with independent creators.
It's anyone who's looking out for value, trust, and of course, the job to be done.
Keep creating, someone's gotta knock. :D

I’m sure there’s a twenty-something social media manager of Schbang who’s been brainwashed into believing that it’s phenomenal that their agency has gotten so many 'mentions' and 'engagement' thx to the 'viral statement' on the 'viral campaign'.

I can totally imagine a near-future where companies act as 'creator incubators'.
Give independent creators a basic stipend, oodles of time + space + mentorship for experimentation & growth, and in exchange, get some meaningful IP and kickass content delivered.

Perhaps my favourite episode from Amit's pod so far.
Vinay Sitapati's clarity of thought is impeccable, and the way he explains his writing process is top-tier stuff.
Must listen for anybody who's even remotely interested in history, politics, or writing in general. 🙏🏼
If leaders are to be judged by their actions, PV Narasimha Rao was our tallest leader.
Vinay Sitapati joins me in episode 283 of The Seen and the Unseen to discuss how Rao was instrumental in lifting hundreds of millions of Indians out of poverty:
