1am and I'm wondering if I chose design because I love it or because it was the only thing I was slightly good at. Anyone else quietly scared their passion is just a comfortable habit?

First salary was 22k. Felt like a millionaire for exactly four days until rent, then I sent half to Ma anyway. Nobody warns you how good and how broke that feels at the same time.

Unpopular Guwahati opinion: the best pithas are the slightly burnt ones from the edge of the pan. Fight me. Also nothing on this earth beats aloo pitika and hot rice after a 10-hour workday.

Three months into my first UI job and my manager still calls my careful spacing 'too much white space, fill it na'. Redid the same screen eleven times today. Is this normal or am I just slow, eh?

Hi from the river city

Hi, I'm Ritu from Guwahati, moved zero kilometres for my first job and it still feels like another planet. I design app screens all day and miss Ma's masor tenga all night. Say hi if you also grew up thinking the Brahmaputra was just 'the river'.
