The Green Thread

 

It began with an email.

Anupam had been watching the edtech space with the quiet disinterest of someone who used to care. He saw promotional videos that screamed of utopic success, courses that moved fast but left nothing behind, and learning platforms that sounded like gym apps. Pretending to be Efficient & Soulless.

But something about her startup was different.
It wasn’t the design. It wasn’t even the product. It was her writing, a blog post buried on their site to be precise. Measured, exact, no performance; Just presence.

He read it twice. Then once more, just to confirm she hadn’t overwritten it. She hadn’t.

That evening, he drafted a mail.
Not a pitch.
Not a portfolio.
Just a thought, folded carefully into a proposition.

Subject: You’re Building EdTech. I Build What Students Remember. Let’s Talk.

Dear Anukriti,

I’ve spent the last five years in a strange corner of the internet, answering questions students didn’t know how to ask in class, breaking down Economics into human language, and slowly, steadily turning confusion into clarity.

Through my YouTube channel and writing, I’ve helped hundreds of MSQE aspirants (and curious minds beyond them) navigate not just what to learn, but how to feel less alone while learning it.

You’re building EdTech.
I'm building educational intimacy - the kind that sticks after the tab is closed.
And I think there's a space where our worlds overlap.

From deep-dive explainer scripts to adaptive learning paths, I can help shape the voice of your product and not just what it teaches, but how it feels to be taught by it.

I’m not here to sell videos. I’m here to help you build something students come back to—not because they have to, but because they want to.

Let’s talk. No rush, no pitch-deck posturing. Just a conversation.

Warmly,
Anupam
Writer. Educator. Pattern-seeker.

---------------------------------------
He didn’t expect a reply. He never really did.

But she wrote back. 

Hi Anupam,

I don’t usually reply to cold emails.
But I read yours twice. Once as a founder, once as a former student.

You’ve got something. A tone. A clarity. A kind of… gentleness that we’re missing in our product right now.

Let’s set up a time next week? No decks, just thoughts.

Cheers,

Thursday, 11:04 AM.
The Google Meet window opens. Split screen: she’s framed by a white wall and a rubber plant. He’s backlit, notebooks stacked behind him, headphones slightly lopsided.

There’s a beat of silence. Not awkward, just observant.

---

Her (lightly smiling):
“So. You do sound like your email.”

Anupam (half-grin):
“That’s a relief. I was worried I’d come off more composed than I actually am.”

She:
“You weren’t pitching. You were… narrating.”

Anupam:
“Most people pitch to be heard. I write to be felt. You responded, so I guess it worked.”

She:
“You said something about building ‘educational intimacy.’ What does that mean, to you?”

Anupam:
“It’s when a learner forgets they’re being taught. They’re not watching a video, they’re in dialogue—with their own curiosity. And they trust the voice guiding them. Not because it's flashy, but because it listens. Even when it speaks.”

She leans back, processing. Not the usual growth-metric chatter she’s used to.

She:
“And how do you scale that voice? That intimacy? We’re an EdTech startup—we think in thousands. Eventually millions.”

Anupam:
“You don’t scale the ‘feel.’ You distill it. Then you build content, design, even tech flows that preserve that emotional thread. People can binge glossy courses and remember nothing. But if a sentence hits them at the right time? That stays.”

Pause. She tilts her head slightly. He's not selling deliverables. He’s offering depth.

She:
“You think students care about tone?”

Anupam (without blinking):
“Tone is trust.”

She lets that hang.

She:
“So what would working with us look like? Hypothetically.”

Anupam:
“I’d spend two weeks just absorbing your platform. Watching how you speak to your users. Where you lose them. What you're afraid to say. Then I’d help you rebuild the emotional architecture—script, language, structure. From the inside.”

She (softly):
“You speak like you’re writing while you’re talking.”

Anupam (smiling):

“That’s because I am. I write for people I haven’t met yet. Sometimes, they show up on Zoom.” 

Subject: Still Thinking About That Call

Hi Anupam,

I don’t usually sit with a conversation after it ends. But this one lingers. Not because it was loud or persuasive—quite the opposite. It was... quiet. Focused. Like someone tuning an instrument, not trying to start a band.

You said something about distilling the feel rather than scaling the voice. I’ve been chewing on that. We’ve built tech. We’ve built traction. But what you described—educational intimacy, emotional architecture—those are the things we haven’t been able to prototype, let alone productize.

I don’t want to rush this. Let’s take one small step.
We’re working on a new module—a deceptively “dry” topic that needs a pulse.
I’d like you to reimagine it. Not redesign. Not rebrand. Just… breathe into it.
Let’s see what happens.

Let me know your bandwidth this week. And thank you—for not pitching, but showing.

Warmly,
Anukriti
Co-founder, Pathsala

[Phone rings]

Anupam (picking up):
Hello?

Her:
You don’t say “Hi, this is Anupam speaking”?

Anupam (grinning invisibly):
No, I assume I’m the only Anupam you’d call voluntarily on a weekday evening.

Her:
Touché. You write like that too—subtle arrogance camouflaged as charm.

Anupam:
I prefer “well-placed confidence soaked in restraint.”
But yes, I see your point.

Her (laughs softly):
Anyway, I was reading that learning module we spoke about. It’s clinical. Functional. Dead, to be honest.

Anupam:
So, you’re giving me a corpse?

Her:
With a heartbeat somewhere underneath. I’m hoping you find it.

Anupam:
I’ll bring a stethoscope and a matcha.

Her (pauses):
Wait, do you actually drink matcha?

Anupam:
I pretend to. It makes my thoughts feel greener.

Her:
And here I was thinking you were all black coffee and existential dread.

Anupam:
Matcha pairs surprisingly well with mild dread.

Her (smiling through the line):
Okay. I give up. Let’s meet. I want to see if you talk like this in person, or if you type with a ghostwriter.

Anupam:
Deal. One condition—I get to sit with my back to the wall. Keeps my metaphors aligned.

Her:
Fine. But I choose the place. Somewhere quiet. Somewhere with—
(beat)
—texture.

Anupam:
Now who’s ghostwriting?

---

Anupam had always known how to exit a moment too early. In conversations, in cities, in almost-love. So when the call with her ended, fourteen minutes ... he felt the exact shape of something unfinished tighten in his chest. Not regret. Something softer. The ache of potential.

She had laughed like she meant it. Not to flatter him. Not to fill the air. And he had let himself answer her without armor, without metaphor. That was the danger. When someone saw past the metaphors.

He didn’t text her that night. Or the next morning. The matcha meeting hung there, a possibility paused mid-sentence.

---

The first week passed with no message.

He read the module she sent. Scribbled some notes. Made three different rewrites. None of them were for her. They were for him, to prove he could still write with care, even when no one was watching.

She, on the other side, said nothing. She was not the chasing kind.

He tweeted at 1:39 AM:

“The problem with being seen too quickly is you haven’t built the walls yet.”

She read it. She knew.

---

The second week, Anupam spent mostly in silence. The apartment, once shared, now sounded different. No double toothbrush. No second pair of keys. His soon-to-be-ex wife had moved out, but the air still carried her stillness.

The divorce papers sat unopened on his shelf—next to a dying lily and a framed photo he refused to put away.

Meanwhile, she was pitching to a new fund. Clean deck. Tight narrative. A slide titled: “Emotional UX: Designing for Trust.”

One of the VCs interrupted: "But do users really feel when they learn? Or do they just want to pass?"

She smiled politely. “Tone is trust.”

And just like that, she remembered his voice.

---

Week three folded into itself. He wrote a full reply to her email. Poised. Honest. Slightly self-effacing. He deleted it.

She read his tweet:

"There’s a version of me that replies immediately. He’s still married. Still composed. Still lying."

She didn’t like it. Didn’t share it. But she read it twice.

---

On the twenty-second day, her message landed like a hand reaching across a dark room:

“Is three weeks long enough for a silent retreat? Or should I wait for mercury to exit retrograde?” “Matcha still on the table?”

His reply came forty-two minutes later.

“The silence needed to ferment. I’ve emerged less polished, more honest.” “Matcha. Let’s meet. Before I vanish into another playlist.”

---

They met on a day when the city smelled of damp concrete and unfinished promises. The café was quiet, almost curated for confessions. Two cups of matcha sat like green punctuation marks between them.

She wore a charcoal dress, minimal like her emails. He showed up in a white shirt, sleeves rolled, hair trying to look unbothered but failing in deliberate disarray.

They talked about everything except the silence that had stretched between them. Startups, content, the illusion of scale, Kadri Gopalnath, and why both hated buzzwords but loved late-night jazz.

And when the cups were empty, she said softly, “Hungry?”

He smiled. “Always.”

---

Dinner was not planned. It happened like good lines do: unexpected, inevitable!
A dimly lit bistro.
A table by the window.
Menus they barely read
because the real appetite was elsewhere,
in the edges of sentences,
in the pauses that hummed louder than words.

She ordered pasta. He ordered a drink he couldn’t pronounce without sounding like he was auditioning for pretension. They laughed about that for five minutes too long.

Somewhere between the first bite and the last pour, the conversation stopped performing. They spoke about the things people hide in parentheses—her father’s obsession with minimalism, his unfinished novel that wasn’t really unfinished, just afraid of endings.

When the bill came, neither reached for it immediately. It wasn’t about the credit card. It was about not wanting the night to clock out.

Outside, the city’s air had that 11 PM hush—a soft permission to keep walking.

And as they did, side by side, their shadows aligned on the pavement like two sentences that didn’t need conjunctions.

Matcha had been the excuse. This...this was the beginning!

Primer to Cleantech Internship

I always knew that I would do my compulsory summer internship with a dynamic organization and not necessarily in an MNC. After a lot of research, applications, e-mails and telephonic conversations I decided to devote my summer with Greenway Ecodevelopment in Navi Mumbai.

The internship experience had everything that one expects. Challenging projects, flexible work environment and, perks and incentives. Greenway Ecodevelopment Pvt. Ltd. is a startup with primary focus on CDM advisory, carbon footprint, training services and, eco-friendly and sustainable project development. The founders of the company validate their pedigree. Ankit Mathur is an IIM Ahmedabad alumnus, while Neha Juneja has done her MBA from FMS Delhi. Ankit and Neha also have engineering degrees from Delhi Technological University (Formerly Delhi College of Engineering).



The above company description does no justice to the kind of projects Greenway handles, apparently. In other words, after explaining what greenway does by paraphrasing the above company details people at the other side of conversation would ask, “Oh! I see, but what exactly Greenway does? ” . In reply, I used to say, “Carbon trading, carbon finance, environment-friendly technologies and services”. This would usually be followed by another query, “What the hell is carbon-trading?” . Carbon trading covers a wide range of mechanisms which help in curbing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions which would have taken place in a business-as-usual scenario. Business-as-Usual is a term used for commercial ventures and projects which don’t consider emissions and focus on maximizing earnings. Business-as-Usual in most cases leads to degradation of environment with harmful greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions leading to global warming and ultimately fueling climate change.

The debate about climate change is another agenda but carbon trading mechanisms are like insurance policies in which you invest for the untoward incidents that might take place in future.

Carbon emissions is a term collectively used for all types of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. There are two types of carbon markets, voluntary and mandatory. The voluntary carbon markets are still in their infant stages, although the carbon market driven by Kyoto protocol has become a boon for emerging economies like China, India and Latin America through a mechanism known as clean development mechanism (CDM).

The clean development mechanism, one of the mechanisms defined in the Kyoto Protocol allows emission-reduction projects in developing countries (non-Annex I Parties). Emission reduction of one ton of carbon dioxide equivalent earns 1 certified emission reduction (CER) credit. CERs can be traded and sold, and used by industrialized countries (Annex I Parties) or companies with emission targets to meet a part of their targets under the Kyoto Protocol.



CDM provides developing countries opportunity to implement projects which are less carbon intensive and also avail monetary support from developed countries. Annex I parties are developed countries. Annex I countries which have ratified the Kyoto Protocol, have to reduce their emission levels of greenhouse gasses to targets that are mainly set below their 1990 levels.

However, it is very difficult for the developed nations to achieve such a herculean target at the cost of meeting its current demands. To facilitate their economic and industrial sustainability, they can emit GHGs by buying equivalent emission credits from various carbon trading mechanisms. Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is one of the mechanisms, and is hugely popular because of its scalability, applicability and the benefits which can be shared mutually between non-Annex and Annex parties.

Emission reduction = Baseline emissions - Project emissions – Leakage

Emission reduction achieved by the project depends primarily on the baseline emissions offset, project emission and the leakage emissions outside the project boundary.

Baseline emission is the emission level that would take place in absence of the project activity. The project activity also emits some amount of GHGs, which is referred to as Project emissions which must be subtracted from the baseline emissions. Emission changes outside the project boundary, due to the project, not under control of the project participants is known as the Leakage. The tons of carbon dioxide equivalents which are calculated after subtracting “Project emissions” and “Leakage” from “Baseline emissions” is equal to the number of CERs (carbon credits) earned.

The basic steps include choosing a suitable methodology or suggesting a new methodology, determining the baseline emission and proving additionality. A CDM project activity is additional if anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gasses are reduced below those that would have occurred in the absence of the registered CDM project activity. Additionality may be financial, technical, institutional, etc.
The above details are incorporated in the Project Design Document (PDD). It is submitted to “Designated operational entity” (DOE) for validation, and “Designated National Authority” (DNA) for host country approval. After host country approval and validation, the PDD is forwarded to CDM Executive Board (EB) for project registration.

The EB after registering the project issues CERs (carbon credits) which can be traded in carbon markets. The value of 1 CER varies from € 8-12.
CDM Projects depend on future carbon credits for availing loan; it can also use the revenue from selling the credits for operation and maintenance, etc.

This is just about carbon trading, and also explains only CDM-project cycle. Greenway Ecodevelopment deals with much more than this. Greenway is a cleantech company. It is a startup, run by vibrant professionals. Greenway is also a consultancy firm which is going to have immense social impact. Speaking about social impact, Greenway would transform the lives of people by implementation and financing of 14,000 household biogas units in Yavatmal district under the CDM route. This is one of the first projects of its kind.

The think-tank of Greenway lives in a typical startup environment which is enviable. I will always relish the chance given to me by them for experiencing it firsthand. Everyone contributes invaluably, even their cute pet dog named Primer. Yes, the dog’s name is the title reference of the post.

Dalda, Xerox, … IIT, MIT, Stanford… and Twitter…

The amazing success stories behind brands and their products are very interesting. Vanaspati Ghee became Dalda, Photocopying became synonymous with Xerox, and these two brands are such pervasive that most of the consumers don’t even know the product’s actual name. So, what is more important for a manufacturer/ entrepreneur? Is it Product or Brand? Building a brand demands innovation of a different kind. Whenever you think about “Brands”, you can’t afford to miss out IIT (Indian Institutes of Technology). Though the product here is quite different and each one can cash in the brand reputation of IIT to build another brand which in fact makes IIT (Indian Institutes of Technology) the most powerful Indian brand ever created or is it the IPL (Indian Premier League)? India’s fetish with 3-lettered powerful brands also includes IIM (Indian Institutes of Management).

The equivalent of IIT in the USA is MIT or in more politically and historically correct form it’s the other way round. IIT, IIM, MIT, Harvard, Stanford and other top universities across the world attract the crème de la crème of the student populace and are known for their immensely successful alumni. Not long ago, people studying at these places eyed for their dream job and career path which leads to a stable (at least economically) career in the long run. However, in these last two decades there has been a paradigm shift in the psyche of the average MIT/Harvard/Stanford/IIT/IIM/… grad. Entrepreneurship has become socially accepted and a respected career path. These universities have started nurturing the entrepreneurial instincts of their students and venturing out in entrepreneurship has never been so serious activity.

"Let pedigree trickle out, don't spill it out"

Few days back, strategist and management consultant, Semil Shah (@semilshah) tweeted:
(http://twitter.com/semilshah/status/12996210164)



This is not the case only with MIT or Stanford, it is obviously a common practice adopted by young entrepreneurs who are naïve about their brand management and try to leverage their elusive and elite degree for touting their business plans and catapulting the popularity of their product portfolio. You can’t blame them too as they are not brand managers but entrepreneurs who don’t have much experience about the capitalistic economy and its dynamics. The degree though helps in building the brand image but can’t be made the only parameter to test the value and need for your innovation.

Shrey Goyal(@shreygoyal) says rather tweets:
(http://twitter.com/shreygoyal/status/12996763962)





Semil Shah further elaborates, “It’s much more effective to quickly introduce biz concept, impact. Let pedigree trickle out, don't spill it out” (http://twitter.com/semilshah/status/12996574589). At this point of time, the coherence in his thoughts seemed to be in sync with me. Great businesses have always solved problems or given us an alternative to do certain tasks.

Another subtle thing which you might have noticed is how I have used twitter. I got the opportunity to interact with an expert like Semil Shah, just because of twitter. This is not the only use of twitter I have come across. Recently, one of my friends got his summer internship by following his current internship employer on twitter, replying to tweets, and having “@” conversations. This prompted the hirer to have a look at my friend’s LinkedIn profile and discuss his internship application and he got the confirmation call.
(BTW, I've changed my twitter handle take a note of this: my earlier was @ashishiitkgp4 which is changed to this (@ashishgourav) do follow me!)

In a nutshell, entrepreneurship should be nurtured from a very early stage of maturity, work on your business plan focusing on the product, its applications, revenue earning model, proper branding and use twitter effectively. Social networking sites have been blamed for privacy intrusions but we need to embrace this medium of communication as this is the need of the hour.

Sunil Handa : "Are You Just a Bloody Employee?"

Now, you are in an engineering college or some professional course or you might end up with one pretty soon. What next?
“A decent satisfying lucrative job in an MNC.”
“An MBA degree just after graduation”
“Some more professional courses which could get you a job”

The question I need to ask you is, “are you born just to be a bloody employee?”
By the time you have read till here, you would be cursing me as “just another IIT undergraduate student giving a sermon on entrepreneurship”.
However, these words are not mine. I’m just paraphrasing “Prof. Sunil Handa” from IIM Ahmedabad.



Sunil Handa came to IIT Kharagpur today and took the renowned Laboratory for Entrepreneurial Motivation (LEM) class with much fervour and filled us with motivation to become successful entrepreneurs.
I also don’t want to be a mere employee for the rest of my life and it got resonated with Sunil Handa’s words. He reaffirmed my belief that multi-national companies just exploit our talent and most important phase of our life (20-35 years); and are detrimental to the personality of a gifted person.
The question you need to ask yourself is “will you be happy with a boring, glorified, clerical job throughout your life?”

“Keep questioning, keep improving”

After reading this far, I hope you must have either got a feeling of “stop-reading-this-shit” or if not then proceed.

He threw light on various aspects of entrepreneurship. He told his own story as how he managed to persuade his father for his business aspirations. He laid a lot of stress in the choice of partner and the number of co-founders. Ideally 2-3 is the best. Though, partnership comes with its own advantages and disadvantages. Partnership helps you to achieve 100 times more than what you are capable of; the synergic effect.
However, partnerships are bound to break some day or the other. You should be ready to face this reality. The choice of business partner still remains as important and pivotal as choice of a compatible spouse.
The most hindering stone in the path of entrepreneurship is “acceptance”. Acceptance by society; acceptance by family, acceptance by friends and the list never ends.
However, acceptance comes with time and success, as parents in most of the cases are not very specific about your choice of career; they only want your happiness.


He talked about how he saved millions of rupees by just having a proper outlook of the world.
He also validated the need of an MBA degree from a top college; it improves one’s personality by leaps and bounds.
To sum it up, “I don’t want to be a bloody employee!”
Do you?

If you are an IIT-KGP student, just don’t miss the tomorrow’s part. Sunil Handa is going to talk about “Consultancy” as a viable and lucrative career option to start with.
Are you attending it?



BTW, did I tell you about bindeshwar pathak (founder of Sulabh International), do check out about him from here.

PS: Going home tomorrow for two days. Yipeee!

Entrepreneurship- The Latest Fashion Trend

Recently, I was talking with one of my cousins, who is planning his marriage. We were having that casual phone conversation...

Cousin: Hey, I’ve mailed you some photos of girls. Did you get them?

Me: Yeah! Do you expect me to hook up with them... no I won’t, I’m single and not ready to mingle.

Cousin: Dumb @#$@# %%.....( all the foul words)... they are photos which I’ve received for marriage proposal.

Me: (Ooopss...shit) Sorry.

Cousin: Just say which one of them is the best and the rest are all yours....haa haaa. BTW I forgot you have a girlfriend. How is she?

Me: First of all, I don’t have a girlfriend and second point is that I’m going to do arrange marriage that too after 4-5 years as I’m under-age and under-qualified.

Cousin: Why? Why this sudden change? I know, you have realised the fact that no girl would be your girlfriend.

Me: Actually, I’ll take Dowry.



(I know it’s illegal but still the police won’t be able to catch me, as my blog is not so popular and when I’ll marry this post will be deleted.)

Cousin: Oh My God... Do you guys talk these stuffs at your college?

Me: Entrepreneurship, Bro!

Cousin: Pursuing entrepreneurship is tougher than pronouncing and spelling it, dude!

(How true!!!)

Me: Ummm...yup.

Cousin: Let me give some entrepreneurship-Gyan.
Nowadays, entrepreneurship has become a fashion statement. In late 1980s and early 1990s, people did engineering and went to USA. After some economic reforms there was a shift in trend from this to IT-sector and management. Now, all the young people want to have their own venture and become an entrepreneur.
Becoming an entrepreneur is certainly not rocket science but much more than that. I have many friends who took this path and only 1 of them had some appreciable success in his venture.

Things you should have before pondering about any entrepreneurial thoughts...
1. Idea: Ideas don’t rain like cats and dogs. Yeah! It doesn’t rain at all.

2. Capital: You need lot of money dude and unless you are having a great idea related to computers you won’t get any venture capitalist to fund you. However, if in any case they do agree to fund you, it is not a new fact that they would have a major chunk of power in your venture.

3. Co-founder/s: Finding a co-founder is important and also very difficult. As the famous saying goes, “Fast bowlers hunt in pairs” so does founders. (Read a very interesting article on co-founders by Shrey from here)

4. Self-motivation: It is apparently needed for anything you do in life but still I can’t miss this point as you will face many challenges if you pursue entrepreneurship and you must be highly motivated to face them.

5. Time: You should be prepared to give your major part of youth to become a worthy entrepreneur and it also demands patience.

Enough for today!!!

Me: Okay! I won’t take dowry...

Cousin: hee hee...

Me: Cya...Take care

Cousin: Bye

Free Rapidshare accounts contest and "Advantages of short height "

I know this is not an ideal way to rant about my height. I was just wondering about my Short heightedness and tweeted it through my twitter profile.
“There are many benefits of short height :P”
One of my tall friend tweets rather changes his facebook status
“There are many benefits of being tall :P”
This inspired me to think of some benefits of short height and I’m here.
Googled Information
1. Shorter people have faster reaction times, greater ability to accelerate body movements, stronger muscles in proportion to body weight, greater endurance, and the ability to rotate the body faster. They are also less likely to break bones in falling.
2. Shorter people are also less likely to require surgery for herniated spinal disks. In addition, shorter people are less likely to break a hip from falling.
3. Another advantage of smaller people is that they are less likely to die in auto crashes. One study found that people weighing less than 132 pounds had the lowest risk of dying or suffering serious injuries compared to bigger people.
My Experiences
I’ve a lot of them related to short height. I’ll list only benefits as promised.
1. Once, I was travelling all alone for the first time in my life. I know everything happens for the first time in life but still that was a big occasion for me. I was nervous. Things were done for me. I didn’t have to pack my stuffs, my mum did it. I didn’t have to book tickets, my father did it. I thought this would be fun exploring everything while enjoying the scenic beauty outside the window of train alone. I’d a test to give, so I opened my course books and acted to be quite busy as my fellow travel-buddies were quite older than me. The train stopped in a station, some strange people entered the coach. Those were the species I feared a lot on train journeys and this time I’d to handle them. Any guesses, who were they?
No, they were not goons, robbers or vendors. They were frightening “eunuchs”.
I was quite aware of their menace since my childhood days. One of them came towards our seat and...
Eunuch: Aye mere salman khan kuch dena.....arrey handsome!!!....(in hindi)
These were words used for few people around me and though these are compliments but it seemed very different under such circumstances and one of them came towards me and started staring me. I was awfully frightened....
Me: Papa bahar gaye hain (in hindi).....which means My father has gone outside and I don’t have money.
And I’m happy that I’ve used this trick of using my short height and innocence to trick these eunuchs quite a lot.

2.I don’t need lots of space in the car/bus/Train or in general anywhere in this world.
3.I don’t have to worry about 'mind your head' signs.
4.I can squeeze through crowds easily :p

Being small rocks, you can act all little and helpless so people do things for you
