  • Stakeholder Report: Mar 2024

    The world has put far too much time, money, faith and energy in me for me confidently say that I am a business. Thus, this monthly Stakeholder Report.

  • We are so back!

    I want a big life. I want a really, really big life. These days, every time I find myself in a shitty moment that makes me feel small and defeated, I repeat that to myself.

  • Last woman standing

    Morning from Advent Neel! I woke up early (6 AM) for just this. To find a moment to write my thoughts down. Anything at all. I made a whole plan for this day — what would my super-ideal March 20, 2024 look like? It’s on a Post-it called The Plan. I borrowed the name from Mr Williams,…

  • On creating, fucking around and standards.

    Ever since I have come back from Lonavala, I have defaulted to consumption rather than creation. I’ve read books and newsletters and reports. I have watched YouTube videos and documentaries and movies and music films. I have thought of making something – anything – but I keep crawling into the safe, delusional world of consuming.…

  • What would you fill your home with?

  • 180k Impressions

    (No, it’s not one of those dream life posts) – 0/ The primary goal was not to have a massive following to no end. I wanted to build a distribution for myself. Access to the right people – people who would help DD progress. Vanity metrics (followers, impressions, engagement) are merely a proxy for distribution.…

  • Steamroller in a field of flowers

    Last few days, I have consumed or been a part of many interesting conversations. Let me distil them for you. One. FOMO + Sifting. @saurabh sent me this. And this. And this. And a question came to mind. “Do you find a million cool people and read all their cool work? Or random? If A, then how…

  • Stakeholder Report: Jan 2024

    Sometime last December, I declared to the world that I am a business. I loved the sound of it, so I took it seriously. Thus, this Stakeholder Report. Starting Jan ‘24, I will be sending out a Stakeholder Report every month, with the following structure: AK’s Promise: These will always be my best work. Meaning – good…
