ghumakkad happened🐰 for years i've been the person who falls down rabbit holes for fun - three hours deep into some niche wikipedia trail, some forgotten forum, some internet subculture nobody asked about. that's what "ghumakkad" means to me: wanderer. not someone going places, someone going down threads. i wanted to build a room for that energy. a place where being obsessed with something weird and specific isn't a personality flaw, it's the whole point. where nerd culture doesn't have to explain itself or get watered down to be "relatable", it just gets to exist, loudly, with other people who get it. so we got a bunch of ghumakkads in one room, brought our rabbit holes with us, and let them collide. this is what happened. more soon.

your partner doesn't know something about you that we're about to find out. everyone has a rabbit hole only they know about. so we’re hosting the first IRL gathering for internet's weirdest obsessions. part show & tell, part gathering of obsessive people, part love letter to what the internet was supposed to be. this saturday in indiranagar. hit me up with your weird obsession and maybe we'll see you there.

Replying to @kevin2kelly
Agreed! That's me crashing a wedding in Bali on my first big solo trip at 18 years old

Overthinking isn’t a disease. It’s mostly a survival strategy. When you grow up around unpredictable emotions, your brain learns, “If I analyze everything, I’ll stay safe.” You start doing pattern recognition in the tiniest of things. Studying people’s and even your own behaviour, quirks, pauses, eye movements, phrases to derive analysis that were never even meant to be derived in the first place. The antidote isn’t more thinking. It’s emotional permission (to yourself). Permission to be misunderstood. Permission to make mistakes. Permission to be human. Safety isn’t in having control at all times.
