The end of work

January 4, 2020 ~ Srinath Narasimhan ~ Leave a comment

"Execution is everything." The answer to the question, "why is the world filled with so much crap?" At work, *doing* is the monomaniacal metric of performance. No one cares about anything as long as you are doing shit. It's why workplaces have portable toilets known as meetings. When you don't know what to do with … Continue reading The end of work

The day I met Snoop Dogg, Serena Williams, and The Rock

November 3, 2019November 3, 2019 ~ Srinath Narasimhan ~ Leave a comment

At 5:36 PM on Jan 26, 2016, I rang the doorbell to my Apartment. No one got the door. I rang again. No response. I was sure there was music coming out of the house, so I pulled out my phone to call my flatmate. As I dialed his number, I heard an explosion. Dust … Continue reading The day I met Snoop Dogg, Serena Williams, and The Rock

The face with a thousand heroes

October 22, 2019 ~ Srinath Narasimhan ~ Leave a comment

You don't know Mileva Marić-Ajnštajn. Maric changed the face of contemporary science and you have no clue who she is. In fact, no one really knows what happened to her, which is both a shame and apropos of our existential legacies. Mileve Maric was a nerd, a mathematician and a physicist. At 22, she was … Continue reading The face with a thousand heroes

Rethinking work

July 14, 2019 ~ Srinath Narasimhan ~ Leave a comment

Ape. A million years later. Human. No one's really sure what happened. Two dramatic changes: brains ballooned, backs straightened. The reason evolution is unfathomable (if you consider it) is that only a small group came to look like you. The rest continued as apes. A few people, somewhat blasphemously, wanted to understand how this played … Continue reading Rethinking work

An original madness

May 19, 2019 ~ Srinath Narasimhan ~ Leave a comment

You want to be a writer, You wake up every morning, torn, unsure, in agony. You believe the morning is your favorite part of the day. You fool, You spend all morning waiting for noon, Noon is when you feel full, having written. Writing resembles life. You believe living matters. What you want is having lived. … Continue reading An original madness

Why your ideas suck and what to do about them.

I found my Passion. Now what?

"Find your passion and let it kill you."

How to Find Your Passion

June 24, 2018 ~ Srinath Narasimhan ~ Leave a comment

The notion of a single passion or purpose can be unnerving. The two concepts have grown into something unpleasantly large and abstract. Passion and purpose, as you will see throughout this essay, are often used interchangeably. Their meanings are hazy. They involve much effort for little certainty. And the debate over their usefulness is unsettled. Yet … Continue reading How to Find Your Passion
