Recounting meeting with Madhav

Madhav is a Yale and LEO alumnus whose company produces glasses that produce live subtitles for users.

He's been working on this idea for the better part of this past decade (much before he came to Yale) and received significant recognition and funding along the way. He took two gap years, seemingly breezed through college classes since he already knew Computer Science, and overall enjoyed his time here taking classes that interested him, chilling with his friends and doing fellowships/research instead of internships.

I really like his approach to college. Makes me feel like I've kind of let the past year go to waste a bit (didn't need to intern, take needlessly difficult classes, should've studied abroad and rushed). I don't see much upside to those experiences beyond the fact that I'm very cognisant how I'm spending time now.

He seems like a guy who has been quite secure about himself and whatever he does. There is a sense of slowness about him. I call it 'unintentionality.' I aspire to achieve and maintain such unintentionality and just do what I care about without any sense of insecurity.

Edit after meeting Rushil: Madhav has that same sense of just following his gut feeling.
