See you on the other side.

This week it's going to be the last free version of this newsletter.

My Dear Friends

I hope you all are doing great and taking good care of yourself. Please don’t plan Goa trips yet, stay home and go to D-Mart on the weekend instead.

This is going to be the last free email of Relatively Correct, I kept thinking about what is something that I want to write in this edition but I think I want to do it like the band-aid metaphor. I am not that great with saying or writing goodbyes.

If you want to keep receiving this newsletter, consider subscribing to it with a monthly or yearly plan. There is a 20% early bird discount till 31st October and post that it will be Rs 1200 for a year and Rs 150 for monthly subscription.

If you want to read more about the subscription model and its offerings, read the last edition
Come for Content, Stay for Community.

I have got all the emails regarding free student subscription request and I will announce the 10 names soon, very soon.

What I was consuming this week?

1. Learn how to say NO? And this also resonates a lot with me about how this newsletter is going to be paid only.

2. Create so much that they cannot ignore you.

3. COVID-19 and the rise of small-town entrepreneurs.

4. Small Town makes The Big Difference for E-Commerce majors for the festive season.

5. The Premium Mediocre life of a Maya Millennial

   

6. Audio’s Opportunity and who will capture it?

7. How to ask for help? Please do not beat around the bush. All of us need help and we have our own problems to deal with. If you need me to introduce you to someone, please don’t hint at the need for an introduction by boring me with a long story. Just ask for it in a succinct and direct manner.

8. What explains the rise of humans?

9. Where really is India going after that ban on TikTok?

   

10. Here is a really interesting tweet thread which talks about creativity The concept of "finding your signature move" is a really useful one. If you're in a competitive creative field, find the thing you can do better than everyone else that's broad enough to keep riffing on, but narrow enough to be a speciality. Like his advice to Ray Romano:

    "Like Jon Stewart, Ray was super likable -- but in a different way. He was a blue-collar family man, a loyal husband, a good father. Bill met with Ray and told him: “Get rid of any material that doesn’t support the idea that you are a standup husband and dad.”

To change the system, you need to learn the system. You definitely don't need to agree with it, but you need to understand it. So when you challenge it, you can break it down and help it build it up again.

Stanford University @Stanford

The #NobelPrize committee couldn't reach Paul Milgrom to share the news that he won, so his fellow winner and neighbor Robert Wilson knocked on his door in the middle of the night.

Take care you all and always feel free to DM me on Instagram if you want to talk about something.

Cheers to the new beginning!
