About Me

Hi, I’m Mahathi Murarishetti.
My husband, Venkat Murarishetti, is a Software Engineer, and together we’re raising a wonderful daughter. I’ve always been deeply drawn to human nature—why people behave the way they do, even when it harms them. This curiosity led me to read extensively about psychology, and through it, I began to find answers.

Psychology opened my eyes to the foundations of human behavior. It helped me see how our basic needs, life experiences, and the emotional inheritance we receive from our parents shape who we become. I realized that our belief systems aren’t random—they are built, brick by brick, from how life treats us and how we’re nurtured.

Once I understood these truths, I stopped blaming people for the way they act, and instead started observing with empathy. One of my biggest takeaways? No matter how hard people chase money, recognition, status, or the approval of others, we are all fundamentally different—in our looks, emotions, talents, and needs. And yet, our basic human needs remain the same. Sadly, that’s something many leaders and systems tend to overlook. But my writing isn’t about politics—it’s about people.

Marriage took me abroad, giving me the chance to experience life from both Eastern and Western cultural lenses. This shift offered me a rare insight: in one society, individual freedom and personal choice are celebrated; in the other, interdependence and shared responsibilities are prioritized. Despite these contrasts, I noticed something universal—no matter where we live, we are all human.

We all carry emotions that guide us, insecurities that trouble us, talents that comfort us, and desires that keep us moving.
Living as a global citizen made one thing clear: humans everywhere are trying to build better lives. We’re all attempting to fix our relationships, understand ourselves, meet our needs, and make sense of our beliefs.

What often frustrates me, though, is how slowly this change seems to happen. Why can’t we fix things faster—both individually and collectively? The answer, I believe, lies in the larger ecosystem we live in: people’s understanding, financial systems, politics, business environments, and employment practices all shape how fast or slow progress moves.

Through my reflections and writing, I explore how we might approach life more thoughtfully, more consciously, and ultimately, more humanely.
