I am crious how you came to choose the title of this post and if someone were to just read the title, what would they think Africa represented. Would it allow them to appreciate the richness of the books you read or the efforts of adaptation you saw.
An article where you spoke about why people in Bhopal drive on the wrong side of the road bought similar questions to me. I would have appreciated a deeper inquiry into how the traffic signals and the historic cities of India were designed in different times by different groups of people and perhaps cities in India need traffic solutions of their own.
Being from a ‘Developing country’ and having been a student at Harvard, I have seen firsthand how such depiction feeds the loop of how people view and understand the so called ‘developing socities’.
Curious to hear your thoughts maybe in the next newsletter.
Hello Dr, Tarun,
I hope this communique finds you in a moment of stillness. Have huge respect for your work.
We’ve just opened the first door of something we’ve been quietly crafting for years—
A work not meant for markets, but for reflection and memory.
Not designed to perform, but to endure.
It’s called The Silent Treasury.
A place where judgment is kept like firewood: dry, sacred, and meant for long winters.
Where trust, patience, and self-stewardship are treated as capital—more rare, perhaps, than liquidity itself.
This first piece speaks to a quiet truth we’ve long sat with:
Why many modern PE, VC, Hedge, Alt funds, SPAC, and rollups fracture before they truly root.
And what it means to build something meant to be left, not merely exited.
It’s not short. Or viral. But it’s built to last.
And if it speaks to something you’ve always known but rarely seen expressed,
then perhaps this work belongs in your world.
The publication link is enclosed, should you wish to open it.

Warmly,
The Silent Treasury
A vault where wisdom echoes in stillness, and eternity breathes.
