Hi, I’m Abhishek. My friends call me Avi. I write things. Sometimes, I also stare into a camera and talk. Both activities are attempts to make sense of the world, or at least to feel slightly less bewildered by it.

The older posts in this newsletter were about decision-making, productivity, and mental models—things I once believed could make life more predictable. But predictability is overrated. Lately, I’ve been more interested to explore the invisible stories hidden in everyday life—through history, philosophy, travel, and personal reflection.

Expect essays that ask big questions about small moments, balancing melancholy with wonder, nostalgia with optimism.

If you’ve ever looked at the ocean and felt like both a speck of dust and the entire universe, welcome. You’re not alone.

P.S. I also write The Night Express and Cointelligence.
