Bangalore doesn’t have a single place where you can simple and good daal-roti
Whenever I come back I realise what price people pay here for horrible food
Bangalore commercial food culture is the worst I have ever seen (for a city)
Why make all the effort of creating content, sharing work, and making yourself vulnerable?
Because there’s a version of me out there looking for a lil push & inspiration ❤️
Asked em to take parents out for dinner & send me photos. I want to see their happy faces ❤️❤️
I can’t believe people are upset/offended over an ad 😜🤣🤣🤣🤣
Clearly not seen Mac vs PC, Coke vs Pepsi, etc
And clearly don’t have any real problems in life
Everyone to designers: Solution batao problems nahi
Designers to everyone: Problem batao solution nahi

As designers, you will often create several iterations only to come back to the first one.
The effort is not wasted — that’s how we know those directions don’t work.
That’s how we get better confidence in the first iteration and know why it works.
In the last few months, I've reviewed 200+ designer profiles.
Here's where most fail 💀:
👇
User Interface Design:
👉 Broken/Missing typographic scale
👉 Broken/missing spacing system
👉 Color usage in UI is not thought-out
Don’t even mention “Kapoor cafe”. They have lost me as a customer the day they decided adding red chilling in a stale daal and sending to customer is ok
Oh btw, today I finish 100 videos (edited & live) on the YT channel covering design & product management (+shenanigans). Finally, I feel like I am serious about this.
Thank you for your support and feedback. What more do you wanna see on the channe?
TikTok is producing thousands, if not millions, of skilled people who can — produce, manage, edit videos/images and know marketing better than your MBAz.
At times I stay up at night and wonder how something was designed. On purpose? On accident?
Some designers share that curiosity so I call them up. Most of them tell me, “bhadwe soja 4 baj rahe hein subah meeting hai”
Crypto doesn’t need believers. It needs educators and explainers who can talk normal (and create believers).
Half this shit is easier than they make it and the rest half barely anyone understands.
Almost every crypto bro sounds like a random jargon generator atm.
I use User Personas coz I ain’t taking the blame for this shit.
It’s Rohan’s fault who’s 25 y/o in a city living with a partner with a dire need to eat candy rn

Finally 50kgs for the first time in life.🥳 Unlike most people - being underweight was an issue. This was for sure a lifestyle change and is still underway.
Thinking of making a vlog on this. Would you watch? What wild you wanna know?
How not to reach out on DMs with non-mutuals:
❌ hi
❌ how are you doing
What to write instead:
✅ why are you reaching out (yeah get to what you want first)
✅ why this person?
✅ abt you that’s not covered in your bio (if needed, keep for last)
Super excited today to be interviewing

How many of you create art/designs for your own pleasure? Like just for the kicks. Probably no one will get it but you love it.
If you don't mind, can we get a look as well? 👀
It’s literally our job to think for ourselves, be our best advocate & believe in ourselves. But it’s so damn hard to do.
But hey, I got the best person to do that.
It is encouraging to see designers try and learn in public & sharing their learnings along the way.
Here are some tips to make this more *effective*, these are some things that work for me. Pls, ignore them if they don't make sense to you.
I think designers generally do a great job of seeking feedback without ego and giving feedback without judgment. PM teams can learn a lot from observing how designers seek & discuss feedback on their work.

"Sir how do I become a product manager."
I got this question in the comment of a video. A video which is a part of 8 part free PM course. Which teaches you.... exactly that.
Ye kaise PM banega re
Psst... it's ok if you can't name a single UX law from memory (I can't) 🤫
✏ Spend time creating, imitating, asking "why" relentlessly
✏ Learn about a problem space & talk to people about it
✏ Study your favorite products and what makes the experience great
✏ Create again
