Loved this piece..what I would like to learn from you is not how to start a newsletter but fundamentally how to write so well...how you have combined chemistry, math and philosophy..If you don't mind..what is your educational background to know all these different fields in such depth...if you come up with a course on writing, I will definitely sign up :)

I chose to listen to this essay rather than read it, and felt like I was on an actual journey through the lands you've conjured up. One part of my brain was visualising the soul-sucking allure of the evergreens, another was smiling at the idea of you and Rambo walking through the fruit trees, yet another about the "oddball" life of Paul Erdos, about whom I had never heard of. I love how you have woven different ideas and thought strands together to create a map (in this case, also literally). Possibly your best piece yet, Utsav.
