this substack is my public journal.

most of the internet is advice from people who already “made it”.
perfect frameworks. clean narratives. lessons packaged neatly after the chaos is over.

i’m more interested in the phase before that.

the years where you’re still assembling yourself; where you’re building skills, getting rejected, obsessing over ideas, questioning your beliefs, breaking your own patterns, and slowly constructing a life that actually belongs to you.

that’s the phase i’m in right now.

you’ll find me writing here about:

ambition, autonomy and building a life around ownership

mental models & meta-cognition

romantic psychology, identity, and the strange emotional terrain of being young and intense

career experiments, failures, leverage, and escaping default paths

moments of clarity that appear randomly during chai, long walks, or existential spirals

basically everything that goes on in my head and what i’d like to pass on to my children.

ok but who am i?

good question. i’m figuring that out too.

for now, a 19 year old engineering student at VJTI and a founder of a small service based tech agency, i’ve spent time working with tech and i’m increasingly drawn toward strategy, growth, markets, brands, and the strange mechanics of why certain ideas scale .

i’m irrationally curious about economics, philosophy, and geopolitics, and fascinated by how power and influence move through businesses and culture; outside of that world i sing, dance, paint occasionally, and spend an unreasonable amount of time appreciating good music, art, and interesting conversations with interesting people. man i love to yap. i’m slowly pivoting toward strategy and growth while experimenting with writing and social media.

oh and man i love makeup, skincare, drippy fits & trying new food all the time :)
