K-Notes | Unfoldearning with Kaustav
Being Normal is the New Goal - because every normal day spent efficiently builds extraordinary lives…
Engineer → Teacher → Coach → Creator. 14 years of my pursuit in unpacking why conventional self-development fails us. Now, I create the science & experience-backed notes I needed then. Let's build your toolkit. The objective is to unlearn & learn to ensure that nobody is held back by the unexamined rules about success and growth
K-Notes is the channel I wish I had at 25. I break down self-development using science, facts, and hard-earned experience—no toxic positivity, just actionable notes to help you question the stereotypes and design a life on your own terms.
This is a relentless pursuit of unlearning, learning, and paying it forward. Join the journey.

How to Rewrite Every Rule They Gave You | Malvika Singh | Living Room Dialogues #1
They gave her a rulebook. She wrote a new one.
In our first Living Room Dialogue, I sit down with Malvika Singh—from a remote tea garden to heading campus recruitment at a global financial giant—to unpack how she built a life and career by rewriting every rule she was given.
This is not a motivational story. This is a transferable blueprint for anyone feeling trapped by corporate stereotypes, others' expectations, or their own self-doubt.
What you’ll learn:
- How to separate real limitations from inherited scripts
- The mindset shift from "proving others wrong" to "backing yourself right"
- Practical tools for sustainable growth (beyond hustle culture)
- How to embrace your unique path in a world of comparison
- Daily habits and mental frameworks that build resilient confidence
