I’m Sonakshi Nathak and this website is a home for my thoughts.

I love learning and reflecting upon what I’ve learned. Here’s a summary of what I learned in my 20s decade. As a lifelong learner, I enjoy going down rabbit holes to understand complex (and often ambiguous) topics. I try to break concepts down into simple ideas without losing the nuance that’s essential for understanding them. If you know me, you also know I love asking ‘Why’. I also just generally love questions that make me question conventionally accepted truths.

Bringing things down to first principles has been a great exercise. This has helped me bring clarity to the values I live by and design my own life with intention. A deeper understanding of one’s own mental models often helps us rise and see through our biases.

Life, behavior, and complexity hold immense intrigue to me. One stunning truth that changed my worldview is the fact about Rules. I also often investigate things. Is anything inherently difficult? What is grit, and how to build it?

I started this website to pen down my thoughts see the timeline of my own mind map and growth. As a classic PM, I’d describe this website as the changelog of my life.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoy reading some of these pieces.
