Fuck. The. Hustle. Culture.
Start the anti hustle culture.
Try to understand every human & their problems, create workflows that would maximize their productivity while also prioritizing rest.
Create a fucking village to help anyone and everyone.
Start the anti hustle culture.

Moved to South Delhi, and in the process of making this room my own now.
P.S. I live in a huge house, and was thinking of having people to work from my house sometimes instead of going to cafes. Lemme know if someone's up for it!

2 months ago, frustrated with my corporate job, I sent a cold DM to Anuj, one of the founders of

Happy to share I'd be joining Grappus as a full time UI/UX designer :D

It's amazing how one family member can spoil the whole environment at home, push you to hate home, and eventually live in solitude in some other house rather than enjoy the comfort of home and parents.

Growing up, 6 of us lived in a small 2bhk. My parents, sister and I shared a single room..
I used to study at the dining table, or the concrete floor mostly, and my stuff was kept in a small broken almirah in the balcony, ever so neatly arranged (1/n)

Whenever something like this happens, the first thing to do is NOT panic. Hospitals will probably do the same thing you might do - so life was perpetually on hold while I tried to calm myself down and use an insulin pen to inject myself

Apr'23: Finally moved out of my parents house a couple of months ago, unsure of my complacent career, no social circle, unable to stand being by myself
Apr'24: Going to my dream univesity on 75% scholarship, can def enjoy my company, made a social circle from scratch in Dilli
April ‘23: Giving the UPSC interview after finding out I had an IIM A convert. Not at all sure where life was gonna take me - I was just a receptacle of knowledge for mba and upsc interviews
April ‘24: 1 year into my MBA, doing the marketing internship of my dreams. (1/2)

First of the many tweets about type 1 diabetes.
I don't talk much about this part of my life, something I fight everyday but awareness is important. Talking about it is important.
Get comfortable, there's a lot that goes underneath.

This next year, I don't want to feel validated by my hyper-independence.
-----
There's pride in being independent, and after my diagnosis with a chronic illness, the first thing that came to my mind was fear of being dependent, and not that I might die.
But that changes now.

Please stop promoting burntout culture as the only path to success at your workplace!!!! ❌
Working on weekends and overtime is not the only path to become good at something, even if you're young and full of energy. Discipline and time management serve similar paths.

In the 8 years that I've been living with Type 1 diabetes, I had the worst diabetes scare of my life last week.
A whole week of putting my life on hold, dealing with blood sugar levels of 400+ and eliminating the possible causes one by one while living alone.

Being honest isn't enough. You can't just drop something uncomfortable, scarring or even slightly out of place and get out by saying "I'm an honest person/I'm an open book".
Learn to read the room, frame the sentence, and look for a better if not a good time.

I know it's okay to take off days. To not be productive every single waking moment of your life. My active brain knows it. But sometimes knowing isn't enough... Evidently. Sigh.

It's more than enough and I need myself to remind me of that sometimes

It's amazing how guilt manipulation is the only way my parents have coerced me to do things for them. And if I refuse, they end up making me feel so bad for it.
And no guesses here that it mostly works on the eldest child only

The moment I got into my 1st full time design job (after 2 other jobs), I entered into the tech world where every day it's hard to remind urself that having a job you like & getting paid for it is great. Nahi milta macbook hamesha. Khud lena padta hai kabhi kabhi. And that's ok.

Since when did sharing your playlist/Spotify get embarrassing?
Music was always supposed to be for the self. For your own pleasure.
If someone judges you for deriving pleasure from "Jalebi Baby", it's on them bro. Cut toxic people out 💅🤝
