So I watched Kota Factory S3 and I feel as someone who went through that grind more than 10 years ago, I can say a couple of things in retrospect - I didn’t end up clearing IIT JEE. I did decently in AIEEE (JEE Mains now) and BITSAT - and eventually went to BITS. (1/n)

one of the biggest issues people who graduate from premier institutes (IIT, BITS, etc) struggle with is knowing that they have an intellectual edge over others. it's hard to accept that they can be "average" because their entire self worth is based on being better than others.

I think going to a top-ranked college does give you a huge head-start but at the end of the day, consistency, perseverance and hard work go a lot further. (5/n)

Life always throws new and varied opportunities at us and it’s a matter of making the most out of those. It’s not just one good outcome deciding the fate of your life - more so a cascade of decent to good decisions and outcomes interspersed with many failures. (4/n)

BITS life was extremely well rounded, and I made so many amazing friends there. I also had so many friends that ended up going to colleges under Mumbai University. If I look back, I think most of us ended up doing well in life, irrespective of which college we went to. (3/n)

I always felt disappointed about not getting into IIT (my dad taught at an IIT at the time and that definitely didn’t make it any better). Maybe that kind of ignited a fire in me that I wanted to make the best of what I could at BITS, to compensate for not getting into IIT. (2/n)

speaking as a BITSian who later went on to get a PhD myself, i often feel i'm not good enough if i'm not accomplishing a new milestone. but beyond a point, accomplishing new milestones comes at massive personal cost - lack of work/life balance, mental health.

i also think i'm less tolerant of failure, which is inevitable, but very hard to accept. so while i love my job and i love my friends and family, i have a tendency to put expectations, set goals and i'm not able to fully enjoy things "for the love of" them.

as an overachiever (if i may call myself that), i do have the luxury of choice but i find myself not "owning" the consequences of some of the harder choices i've made. i need to change my mindset to a mix of wishful delusion and mindful caution.

My previous roommate moved in with her fiancé few months back, so I had to find a new place to stay. A common acquaintance of ours was also looking for a roommate in her apartment so I just agreed to that blindly, thinking that I would be sharing a house with someone I knew.

Best part about being a young mentor for PhD student interns is that all of them mistake you to be an intern as well and then proceed to look shocked when you tell them that you’re a mentor.

I’ve had a similar date with a tech bro from Twitter. Met him for lunch at the Twitter cafeteria, he was generous enough to squeeze me in for a 40 minute slot in between meetings. Needless to say I didn’t have any more 1:1s with him after that.
r/SFdating - one of the worst I’ve heard so far… a guy asks my friend out and says to meet him at an address - that address turns out to be the Google office. He works at Google. The date was at his workplace. He treats her to free food in the cafeteria 😂😂😂

phd has literally altered my thought process permanently. it gives you a unique set of problem solving skills that are applicable very broadly to any problem:
1. identify a problem that you want to solve.
2. what’s the motivation to solve this problem? what’s the end objective?

Twitter is now 0 or 1. Here’s why:
Twitter is now X (Twitter = X).
Twitter is also ex of X ( Twitter = X(X) ).
Therefore Twitter = X*X = X.
(X-1)*(X) = 0.
X = 1 or X = 0.
QED.

Oppenheimer is next on wish list, but I’m surrounded by people who only want to watch the IMAX 70mm version which is sold out for weeks. I don’t get it - most people aren’t artistic enough to understand the difference between various formats. You probably need to be a cinema
Watched the Barbie movie finally and the symbolism is so on point. Loved it.
