Fiction
- Anxious People by Fredrik Backman
Almost ~70% done. This is shaping up to be a charming comedy read, I hope to keep reading this genre.
Update (27th June): Done with this one, so good and fluent. It’s a total feel good read eg. ‘The Intern’ in book form with a ‘Knives out’ like premise thrown it. Some lines were just so quote worthy (too bad for kindle’s lack of export option) but lines on relationship, experience and love.
Non-Fiction
Making some notes. Hope it’s actionable. Have already written about the emotional intelligence part.
Update (27th June): Dropped this, too much for me right now. I’m sure it’d have good things writte, took atomic habits instead.
History
- Backstage by Montek Singh Ahuliwalia
Interesting read, sepcially the anectodes on UPA I, II and how leaders of late 90s and start of new millenia actually cared, far cry from current state of events.
Honorary mention: Aanchal referred this solid article about the OG Boss lady - Isher, loved it.
Here’s what I plan for my upcoming reads
Fiction
Yes, taking a stab. Again.
Non-Fiction
- Design of everyday things by Don Normal
What’s life if not attempting to read door knob design twice a year.
Let’s go back to good schedules and even better habits!
History
- Great Game by Peter Hopkirk
Loved reading extensively about great game on wiki back in college, time to go a level deeper :)

This post is a resultant of lot of my thoughts around the topic related to my work and everyday life. It’s an evolving thought and this is an evolving post, I’ll keep it updating.
The solace I have right now is the blog is really unknown so I can publish incomplete article which inturn will force me to refine and post things entirely due to partial OCD of not letting things go un-answered.
Genesis
Post undergrad, finding an enthralling job in the heart of Bengaluru was part luck, part effort. I quiet honestly didn’t know where I landed. As it was directly on-campus and let me postpone my MBA plans, I was more than happy to take it up. Little did I know that I’d everntually land in the midst of most promising time time and place of the decade, admist the private boom of huge capital influx - possibly due to increased US liquidity or you know, promise for India’s growth!
The place that I joiend as management trainee/business analyst would go on to raise multi miliion dollars from marquee investors and become India’s first tech-media unicorn. Anyways, the story isn’t about it. But dope genesis though, right? :P
Wait where does the identity comes in?

We all have come across the joke about PM not knowing a thing, right? Well. I guess it’s right. Legit took a month to get this online. LOL.
Built on Poole
Would have done lot ealier but this theme was too pretty. So ofcourse, I would spend excruciating hours to get this up instead of the standard theme. Same energy when you want the button to be of a particular color!
Why this theme?
Looks clean, dayum. That’s all you should know and appreciate.
And as per Global PM Association charter, roadmap shall soon be released for what post will come in future!
Stay tuned.
Thanks!
