the universe through books, 4.17.24

sujeet needed a ride home because his neighbor works in construction and drops nails on the road from time so his car had two nails in his tires. i dropped him off and he invited me in. we got in, and his place was nice. it’s the first floor in a 3-story cambridge house. he showed me some of his books and we started talking about life and the universe. i can always get lost in these conversations because i think i have a curious mind at heart. that, and when i get focused, i get tunnel vision until i figure something out or understand it. he gave me a few recommendations to read so i will definitely tap in once i’m done with the current books i’m reading now. i’ve said it and i’ll say it again, sujeet is one of the most down to earth people you will meet. during our conversation, we heard a knock at the door. it was a package for him which was a perfume from diptyique that a famous cricket player wears. he opened it and it came with samples, to which he told me to take them home. he’s intelligent, funny, and an overall good guy. i’m lucky to have met him along the way during my journey in biotech.

though this world is filled with bad apples, good people keep finding me and i hope i never lose sight of the blessing that it is.
