ADITYA VITTAL writes from silence—not to fill it, but to make sense of it.

Where others speak to be understood, he listens. Observes. Waits. A lifelong collector of quiet moments, Aditya’s words don’t shout—they resonate. His craft is shaped by stillness—the kind that lingers between thoughts, between people, between versions of the self we outgrow and rediscover.

His first book, Sin & Success, explored the architecture of product thinking. It made its way into the libraries of leading institutions like IIMs and ISB, earning quiet acclaim from readers who value systems, strategy, and structure. That book was about clarity, utility, and innovation.

But The Curse of a Silent Mind is not that kind of book.

This one is different.
This one is personal.

A series of unsent letters, written in the language of observation, memory, and unspoken emotion. It doesn’t follow chapters. It follows echoes. It traces the shape of silence through love, heartbreak, work, identity, and stillness—offering something more tender than advice, and more honest than resolution.

Aditya has traveled through more than 25 countries, often alone. But he doesn’t travel for escape—he travels to observe. Airports, cafes, old cities, shared hostel bunks, dusty roads, and sunrise views from nameless windows have all left their mark. He doesn’t collect souvenirs. He collects moments.

When he’s not working on innovation in the tech world, you’ll find him behind a camera, beside a mountain trail, or across the table at a café, sketching strangers in silence. His background in business and technology shaped his mind. But it’s silence that shaped his heart.

He believes that silence isn’t the absence of expression.
It’s another kind of language.
One that doesn’t demand to be heard, only understood.
A language for the things we feel deeply but can never quite explain.

This book is written in that language.
And maybe, in reading it, you’ll recognize some of your own.
