About

I'm Piyush. 27. Bangalore.

Kashmiri Pandit. Five cities, seven schools. I've never been the person anyone saved a seat for. At some point I stopped looking for the seat and started building tables instead. I think that's where most of my personality comes from.

Everything I do is at 0 or 100. There is no 40. I chase the interesting part and skip the boring part and it has cost me almost every time. My dad cleans the kitchen as he cooks. I leave every surface covered and deal with it later. Same pattern at work, at hobbies, at life. My ceiling's never been the problem. My floor has.

I think a lot about what it means to be good at something versus being seen as good at something. I think about why some people play the game and some people can't bring themselves to. I think about restlessness — whether it's a feature or a bug, whether you can inherit it, whether you can outgrow it. I don't have answers to most of this. That's kind of why this site exists.

I watch anime without subtitles. I sing loud in the car with the windows down. I am terrible at dancing and I do it anyway — badly, often, with full commitment. My car and my bike are my most prized possessions, not because of what they are but because of what's happened in them. Most of my happiest memories have a steering wheel or handlebars somewhere in the frame.

I love drinking, dancing, driving, eating, badminton, travelling, and I genuinely love what I do for work. But mostly I love doing all of that with people I care about. The experience is the excuse. The company is the point.

This is where I put the things that won't leave my head at 2 AM. The stuff I'd otherwise lose to a group chat or a conversation nobody recorded. I live here now.
