How I’m using AI
I work in tech, so all I’ve been hearing for the last two years is ‘AI.’ Even if you don’t work in tech, you would have probably heard of AI unless you’re living under a rock. There is an overabundance of opinions, predictions, courses, and information in general surrounding AI online, and frankly I’m kind…

My thoughts on Ignited Minds
Earlier this year, I found Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam’s book, ‘Ignited Minds: Unleashing the power within India,’ at home. I hadn’t read a non-fiction book in a while, and I have deep respect for Abdul Kalam sir, so I thought I’d give it a go. Abdul Kalam sir, as we all know, was a noble…

Things I love for no reason
[Warning: Probably the most useless post on my blog. Wrote this just to see how many things I can think of in one sitting.] (in no particular order) There’s probably a lot more. Will keep updating this list whenever I think of something. Life is pretty fun. 🙂

When jokes hurt
I recently re-watched the Hindi movie ‘English Vinglish.’ There is a scene in which Shashi’s laddoos are served to her family members.

The anxiety around starting a personal blog
Let me start by disclosing the reason behind starting this personal blog. It was not to write. It was to own a personal website with my name. Unfortunately, the .com domain was taken, so I had to settle for another one. After doing some research on domains and the purposes for which each is used,…

My writing journey
I sometimes hesitate to call myself a writer. Although my professional designation has the word ‘writer’ in it, and I list ‘writing’ as one of my hobbies, I don’t think I’m qualified enough to call myself a… Writer, you know? I say this in a very matter of fact way, not out of self pity…

The tree without leaves
It is said that being in nature cleanses your mind, body, and soul. As someone who lives in one of the most congested cities in the world, my access to nature is limited to small, boundaried pockets of greenery. I am fortunate that one such pocket exists in the residential gated community in which I…
