My dear readers
When we talk about careers, we are often told, "This will be the right fit for you. You have the aptitude for this work." We are told about the qualifications needed, the courses we should take.
But I don't think that's how we should discuss what we want to do with our lives. I think we should ask people who are doing that work, "What is exciting about this? What keeps you happy and drives you? How do you do this? What kind of person would be happy doing this?" These are the questions I want to ask.
I also want to meet people from all walks of life. People who have not done machine learning, AI, Digital marketing, Medicine, teaching.. I want to talk to the outliers.. people who chose work that is not in the set of "most discussed career options".
To realise this dream, today, we take you to a conversation with Pranav Sharma. At 26, he is the youngest curator of a museum. He spoke to us exclusively about these things - what makes a curator happy? What does it mean to be a curator? What does one do? What drives one? How do things fall in place... these conversations have no format. They are freewheeling, and I hope you enjoy them. (Page 3)
The other highlight of today is "How did the parents cope with English? What did they do to excel at English?" - Page 4
Page 1 has news from the world of IT - a national information website, and an international piece of news from Google and information security.
Page 2 has the Sanskrit, Tamil, Hindi wisdom. There is also another classic puzzle for you to exercise your grey cells.
Page 5 has the Sports News, Ishaan Kaila's Laugh a lot it is, and Ayush's brilliant Bob Mania. Kavita Kona has a poem by Dr. Panna Lal.
Enjoy the edition!
Love,
