WAIT, WAIT, WAIT... WHAT EVEN IS AWARENESS??! 🤯

Hiiiiii again! This is TD Insider — back with more questions than answers, and yes, we’re dragging you into the confusion too.

So last time we said something deep like:

Woah. Big words. Very inspiring. 👏
But hold on... what even IS awareness?

Is it just knowing something exists?
Or is it doing something with that knowledge?
Or is that exposure?
Or is it reflection?
Or... or... bro what is it really?!

Let’s not Google it.
Let’s TD it.
Let’s live it through what’s happening right here in our community.

Starting from the Core — The INEA Framework

You’ve probably heard this being thrown around — INEA, INEA, build your INEA, start tracking INEA. But unless you’ve been inside the workshop, you’re probably like:

“Bro, is this some secret cult?”

Well... not really. But maybe just a little. 

Look, if you’re new here or just pretending to know what INEA means, don’t worry — we all did that for the first 3 months (or more?).
But let’s decode it:

I - Identity
N - Network
E - Exposure
A - Awareness (duh)

INEA Workshop: You blinked. You missed. You regret. 😵

It's happened twice already — in classic low-key TD fashion — and guess what? It wasn’t a boring lecture.
People from our community sat down to track not just tasks, but life — their INEA.

💥 Boom. Awareness, about you?

And through it? They realised, alot but let’s just speak up awareness here:
🧠 Awareness isn’t just knowing — it’s catching yourself before you fall into patterns.

So, want an INEA workshop?

Start a convo in your group. You never know who else is waiting. 👀

And speaking of sessions that lowkey changed lives... 👀

yup, we’re talking about the next big one:

BRANDING WORKSHOP — Guess Who Pulled Up? 

YESSS. A whole Branding Workshop happened.
And guess who hosted it?

🧠 Our very own StupidPreneur — Shashank.
(yes, the guy who makes you laugh but somehow also drops truth bombs every 10 minutes.)

This wasn’t just about logos and aesthetics, but something more! (Nah-nah, I’m not spilling any more tea)

We had Abinandhan and Adesh from our community, bringing in more context, deeper chats and just some straight-up a-ha moments.
Missed it? Oops. Maybe, you can reach out to adesh, abinandhan or shashank himself? 

Alright, alright — let’s stop romanticising workshops for a sec.
Because guess what? TD isn’t just about talks and tasks…

TD Has a Library. Yes, a Real One. 📚

“Library ah? Aama boss!”

Yes, TD has a physical library. Like... books. Paper. Smell. Pages you flip. This isn’t a metaphor. This is not a drive link.
This is a real, physical library — where real books live, and real people borrow, read, and return!

Want to contribute?
Bring your favourite book. Write your name inside it.
Now you’re part of the TD Library forever.

A book left behind is a conversation starter. It’s a piece of you living in someone else’s hands.

And the best part?
There’s no complicated system. No card. No cranky librarian.
Just a bunch of people sharing what helped them grow.

So the next time you're stuck, confused, or just feeling ✨intellectual✨ — go pick something from the TD shelf.

And yeah, Adhavan and Shifan?

They’re already on a roll, dropping books like mic drops.

Big shoutout to them for not gatekeeping good stuff. 🔥

And yeah, so shouldn't you… time to roll out something interesting! 

‘Community’ Awareness Challenge:

Alright, TD — time to wake up and spread some awareness. No, not the type where we talk about that one time you accidentally sent a text to the wrong group. We're talking real awareness, the type that makes us all grow!

The Deal:

Until the release of the next newsletter, let's all make each other aware of something that’s actually worth knowing. Whether it’s a life-changing hack, a tool you swear by, or something that’s boosted your productivity, this is your chance to share.

Step 1:

Find something that actually helped you get your life together (or at least made you look like you did). It could be a new app, a mental health trick, or even a “wow, I should’ve known this earlier” realization,

Step 2:

Drop it in the group, but don’t just leave us hanging. Give us the goods:
Why is it awesome? How did it help you? How can it make everyone’s life 10x better (or at least 1% better)?

Step 3:

Tag someone else and challenge them to do the same. It’s like a knowledge relay race, and we all want to win the “Most Aware” trophy!

The Goal?

By the time the next newsletter drops, we’ll all be walking around like the most enlightened version of ourselves. So go ahead, hit us with something that’ll make us go “How did I live without this?!”

And hey, do you know someone already doing this? Yeah, you’re right!

🏆 MEMBER OF THE MONTH: JEEVITHA!

Why?
Because she’s on an actual awareness arc.
Not the “I just realised I overthink” kind — but the "I'm working on myself" kind.
She shows up, reflects, questions, and does the work!

Her thirst to just get to know about things, is what awareness looks like.-

Go ping her. Ask her what she's currently working on. You’ll come out thinking.

Oh, and before I forget, huge shoutout to Tejasvi — because guess what?

🎤 AND DID YOU HEAR? TEJASVI ON TEDx.

You know how we’re all about awareness? Well, Tejasvi just took it to a whole new level — because she’s now officially a TEDx speaker! Yep, you heard that right. 

Talk about next-level awareness, huh? We’re not just about building habits here, we’re living with legends. Big shoutout to Tejasvi for proving that with the right mindset, anything is possible!

And just when you thought this newsletter couldn’t flex any harder… guess what?

🕵️‍♂️ MENTOR SPOTLIGHT: ABHISEK – HE HACKS STUFF, LEGALLY.

Ever wanted to understand cybersecurity but the word "firewall" already gives you hives? Meet Abhisek : He’s not just good at tech – he’s that person companies like Google, Android, Xiaomi, Zoho, Mozilla, Brave, Bumble, and more have publicly thanked for finding bugs in their systems. So yeah, your broken Instagram isn’t his fault.

Why reach out to him?

-> Because you finally want to stop getting phished every time there's a fake Swiggy coupon.

-> Because he's been to over 30 cybersecurity events and still has the patience to explain what a “pentest” is without judging you (well, maybe just a little).

-> Because if you want to explore ethical hacking, Android security, or how to get into bug bounties – he’s literally the best person in the room. Every room.


-> And because he will make you think smarter about tech (whether you want to or not).

So yeah — if your passwords suck, your curiosity is high, or you’re just fascinated by how someone can legally break things and be celebrated for it — go hit up Abhisek.

Mentor. Hacker. Internet’s friendly neighborhood debugger.

So... did you finally figure out what awareness is? Yeah, me neither! But If you actually get it, then start a convo in our group right now and enlighten us all, because we’re still waiting for that a-ha moment! 😆

Or, if you don’t know (like me), just tag people who you think might know. But asking Thina Anna? That’s basically cheating.

So yeah, It's a Buhbye, Until next time!

Yours Parallelly,
