About me
Who’s talking
Hellooo, and welcome to my place! 🙂
I’m happy that you are here. I'm so excited to share this side of me here. I also carry a small responsibility: I want you to leave a little better than you came.
To connect better, you should know who’s talking.
A little about me :
I was born and brought up in Andhra Pradesh, studied electrical engineering at NIT Trichy, and ended up in a management role at Hindustan Unilever. I’m Gen Z by birth and millennial by nature. I love a slow life, I eat only home-cooked food (very strictlyyy), I read a lot, and I take my health seriously.
I’m very introverted. I have a lot to say, but for the longest time I never had people to say it to. My father gave me the habit of reading and writing when I was very young. I hated both at first, but slowly they became my way of talking when no one was around. I have loads and loads of diaries from my childhood to prove it.
As I grew up, I wanted to share what I was learning from books. But no one really cared, and I stayed quiet.
College was where my life opened up. I met people from all over India, and I was insecure as hell. I made almost no friends. I hid from people, and from their opinions, by not doing anything, so I’d never be in the limelight. The only thing stopping me was “What will people think about me?”
Only after college did I realize how much time I’d wasted not doing the things I loved.
Then one day the urge to write and share became louder than the fear. I posted online for the first time and was embarrassed as hell. I didn’t touch my phone for 3-4 hours, fully sure people would laugh at what I wrote.
The opposite happened. People connected with it. They shared their own vulnerabilities with me, and some started writing themselves.
Since then I’ve written on Medium, on Substack for everything personal, and on LinkedIn for work and professional life. But I always wanted a space of my own, where I could write every day, inspired by Seth Godin.
This is that space.
Here, I’ll post a thought that's running in my mind every day. These are the thoughts that later grow into my longer pieces on LinkedIn and Substack.
I hope you connect with my writing, and that we build a little corner for discussion and grow together.
I’m just a LinkedIn text away, and I open LinkedIn every 5 minutes, however hard I try not to. 😅
With love,
Sanju
