Takshi talks to me about her journey as a freelance journalist in India, writing for some of the biggest names in the industry, such as Vogue India, Architectural Digest, and The Hindu. The conversation then takes a quick turn into her upbringing and her reflections on the discipline and extremes that often define the lives of successful people - and whether that lifestyle is sustainable for mental health.

Ishita shares her experience of growing up hosting TEDx events from the age of 10, making her the youngest person in the Asia-Pacific region to take on such a role. She also published a book, Simran's Diary, which makes her one of the youngest authors in India. In our conversation, she discusses her learnings, conditioning, and experiences while navigating the challenges that come with such significant labels and how her parents guided her in her journey.

Be curious :)
