Derek Sivers

Ayushi Mukhi

Met 2023-02-19 07:30 at ITC Gardenia, 1 Residency Rd, Ashok Nagar, Bengaluru, Bangalore, India.

From Delhi but moved around a lot, Kolkata, Bhopal.

She was top of her class, #1 out of 60, so everyone was happy.

Both her names are given names, not family names.

Rich people in Delhi have more cars than people in the house.

Says she’s from NCR: National Capital Region, even though it’s got a bad reputation, because she aims to bust the stereotype.

Moved to Bangalore last year.

Service workers in Bangalore are so casual. Not feigning manners.

Went to one of the best colleges in the country, now feels she can be herself. Plans to get an MBA to run a business.

Going to one of these colleges is solid proof that you went through so much and you came out alive. And you are definitely capable of handling the pressure that comes with handling a business. You are capable of making good decisions and you have the frameworks and the background knowledge of how a business operates, because that’s that’s what they taught for two years. So it’s just a very quick way of building credibility.

She’s trying to balance writing with work. Just started Substack issue #0. We talked about the muse: pursuing or waiting.

Her achiever friends, all around age 24, are generally not happy.

(Update: she's attending IIM Bangalore now.)
