Agasthya: Eat Watermelon, Read a Book
In our head, he’s still five years old running around barefoot, clutching a golden gadha, giggling with his friends. In reality he’s 22, living and earning for himself on the other side of the world, talking about self-confidence, community, and choosing peace with clarity.
This episode, titled Eat Watermelon, Read a Book is with Agasthya — athlete, barista, community-builder, watermelon enthusiast, little brother — and our very first guest.
Agasthya moved to New Zealand alone. He didn’t overthink it. Somewhere along the way, between his competitive sport training, barista shifts, dating, new friendships, and learning when to let go, he built a life that feels completely… his.
When we asked him what strength means, he didn’t say hustle or grit. He said self-confidence. Knowing who you are. Letting go of what brings no peace. Trying new things even when you’re unsure. There’s a moment where he describes his perfect day: sitting in the sun, eating watermelon, reading a book. And honestly? That might be the most radical life advice we’ve heard in a while.
Agasthya is at a beautiful juncture of life, where he’s discovering adulthood, shaping himself and the life he wants to live. He’s carefully handpicking the people he surrounds himself with—his team, his community— people who motivate him, ground him, and give him a sense of home. With them, the streets of an unknown country are familiar. Strangers on the streets are friends.
Maybe this is a product of Agasthya’s unique and independent upbringing. Maybe it’s simply him and his carefully crafted state of mind.
In this Episode of the DashSisters Podcast, Agasthya gives us his perspective into what it looks like to build a life without rushing to define it.
This episode is warm, surprisingly funny, grounding and a little bit wise. Tune in now.
