Here's one way I can tell my story - Spent 7yrs (5th to 12th grade) doing what my parents and the world around expected out of me. The next 5 years in an engineering college doing what the college expected and also some of what I wanted. And then after 8 months in 2 jobs, I have pursued only what I wanted for 8 years now. Here are my current interests (in no particular order) - startups, side hustles, writing, learning, dancing. (On second thought, I wrote it in decreasing order of priority, as of this writing).Within startups, I love product, growth hacks, design, marketing, ops, sales, content, and almost everything (not the fundraising part, a problem up for disruption?). But I love the summation of all these more than the individual buckets. I have tried my hands at coding. Somehow, I don't enjoy it. (I wish I did though). Have been lucky till now to be surrounded by people who can do that well. (I secretively hope no-code apps take over the world and I never have to learn to code 😉)But don't get me wrong. I love coders. I feel they have superpowers. 🦸‍♂️ Kidding. Not just them, I think everyone has. Yes! All of 8 Billion people. In my free time, I motivate people to drop out of the education system and buy a MacBook.I get this "only 1% done" feeling in almost everything. And strangely the denominator also keeps increasing 😂. So, it's hard to get satisfied. Have a love-hate relationship with myself. I have failed at a lot of things and the plan is to get at least a couple of things right (in a big way). Full list of failures in the experience section ⬇️ A few things worked for me. Getting into IIT. Selling a bootstrapped company to India's largest job board. Having a spouse who somehow in spite of all I take her through remains like an anchor. I worked really hard for these but mostly got lucky. Though I am still figuring out life's purpose I have set a goal -  Work on ideas that shift paradigms, enjoy the journey, and invest in health & relationships. (I hate the go-with-the-flow philosophy.)Chasing a growth mindset - Think 10X, not 10% 🚀 The most common note in my "note to self" is - Never get complacent 🔥2000 character about section does not tell the full story, let's connect :)
