Its really hilarious how folks associate their sense of the self to a brand, in particular the optics on Linkedin, as once the firm finds a cheaper resource, the person will be replaced as a cog.

Bhagwa AAP

Political Valency.
In this woke era, everything has a political valency hence the line between business, activists, and investors as the climate era.
The line is blurred.
Aspirations.
I think the aspirations which one has in terms of an icon when we are in school shape our careers or intellectual inclinations.
Mine was Gurudeb Prof Amartya Sen, his Idea of Justice and the notion of plural identities left a mark on my college self.
Touchpoints.
Be Useful. There are plenty of places to impact lives (and Twitter is not the place). Talk to people in the neighborhood, there will be causes, co-create possibilities of meaning.
