The Productivity-Reliability Matrix
India September UpdateThe following writing is an excerpt from a monthly newsletter I write to friends and family while I serve as Chief of Staff at Flipkart, in Bangalore India. ¶ September 2015 — The highest reward for one’s toil is not what (s)he gets for it, but what (s)he becomes by it. — John Ruskin ¶ I wrote 99% of this update in the August / September timeframe. I hope it still captures the things I felt at the time so I can be intellectually honest with you all.

Life and How to Survive It
Adrian Tan’s Commencement SpeechTime to time I find myself off balance. Unsure of my life decisions and other troubles in life (will I die alone, should I be eating this McFlurry, etc.). ¶ Adrian Tan’s commencement speech has been one of the few things I re-read multiple times a year to put things in perspective and use as a mirror to face my own anxieties. ¶ I think many people have their “go to quotes” in trying times, but rarely have I found a “go to philosophy” — this might the closest thing to that for me.niketDec 14, 2015
Turbulence
| \__________( )__________/ o’. . `oOn a recent trip to Ahmedabad (in the state of Gujarat, India) I encountered some rough turbulence. ¶ Having an interest in planes growing up I know a bit about the phenomenon and how planes are designed to cope with turbulent flight. This particular bout lasted 22-minutes. I was timing it in-between playing out worst case scenarios in my head and listening to Jimi Hendrix. ¶ When I landed I shot an email to my pilot friend Cameron.niketSep 15, 2015
