Welcome to the curious kid - a newsletter by me, Gopu Pillai.
I am a 26-year-old from India who juggles between Mumbai (home) and Bangalore (work), co-running an agency - Nymbl Digital.
We are a small creative agency trying to do some big things. It’s been over 3 years since its inception and I am proud of what we have done in this short time. Long way to go.
If you’d like to know more about my professional life, head to Linkedin. I have listed pretty much everything - what we do, the companies I’ve been a part of, and more.
Besides work, I look forward to consuming interesting content. (for some it may sound like more work, lol.)
Content (mostly articles and not necessarily books) related to startups, entrepreneurship, products, marketing, design, consumer behavior, neuropsychology, parenting, and education. There’s no specific genre per se.
Sometimes I even end up listening to podcasts meant for children.
Why, you ask? I don’t know. I just find myself to be innately curious.
I try to consume contents that are long-form in structure.
Seek out the highest-value content you can find, and then pay for it. Limit your consumption to a few pieces of content per week. Go for quality over quantity.
- Mark Manson
Apart from this, I play chess. Love dance & Zumba, but only in group sessions.
I play the piano sometimes. Binge-eat more than binge-watching. Spend time with family. Help my mom with daily chores, and dad with his business and try to keep up with my younger brother who has already started to make me feel way too old.
At times I sit gazing at the thought of “what if everything around me was just made for my existence, to complement my presence and when I close my eyes or sleep, everything disappears?”
Nope. Not a narcissist.
And I 💙 Doraemon. Literally cried during the last episode. You should see it.
Why did I start this newsletter?
to document my journey
to improve my writing, articulation, and story-telling skills
I have a weird feeling that newsletters are going to be in the hot space in the future; like how we have OTT content now. So trying my best to bounce onto the bandwagon of early adopters.
Why should you subscribe?
most of the contents in my newsletter would be a collection of random thoughts, citations, recommendations, must-read-must-watch references, maybe a peek into nymbl and #agencylife, my journey, and some interesting people I meet or have conversations with along the way.
Frankly speaking, I have no idea what all is going to be in here. Just hop on if this itself interests you.also if you have 10 mins a week to spare to listen to a kid who is trying to figure out life just like you are. 🙂
Not sure when I’ll release the first episode of this newsletter. Till then hit subscribe and stay tuned.
You can follow me on twitter. I tweet randomly and tweet as if no one is reading.
