I remember getting addicted to the Star Trek Original Series, thanks to AB. The series makes more sense now. Gene Roddenberry, the writer, was a visionary. Space: The final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go …

unknown
Going through Ruskin Bond’s short stories takes me back to childhood. Even though I was born in a plain, but after school, Delhi became home. The frequent trips to the hills from the ISBT bus stand. It seems every other house on the hill had a unique story. Or it was a favorite time for …
test
If we look objectively, life seems to be some kind of test. There is one or the other surprise hidden in every aspect of it during our existence. It is not something one can overcome. We can only celebrate and lead our lives. The definition of happiness, the power of money, or freedom are all …
Connect
We are living in an automated world. Our emotions are like air, impossible to catch. Our moments are slaves to the digital sphere. The connections are mostly plastic and hollow. The rat race of proving something or someone has superseded the act of becoming human. We appear too busy to live with essence. We are …

I feel we often get too sucked into the idea of waiting for the universe to do things for us. But after crossing 30 years of existence, I’ve realized that I am responsible for my life. In short, how I want to live it and who I want to work with—it’s all in my control. …

Urgency
The last 4 weeks have been supercrazy for me. It feels like I’m back in my college days, hacking around, setting up Linux machines, and playing with various distros. The only thing that has changed now is the emergence of LLM and the mainstream adoption of AI. As a founder of a startup, one of …
faith
One of the virtues that has brought me this far in my personal and professional life is faith. I have met many people and connected with a few. Some of them were the reason I have come this far in life — it was about having faith that their guidance would do good. I have …
declutter
How many unwanted connections are we hanging out with? Are those likes, compliments, and communication needed at all? We are who we are surrounded by. In this era of abundance, we are continuously losing our sleep over matters that mostly mean nothing to us and over which we have no control. Everything around us wants …
importance
We are living in our thought bubble. We expect others to treat us in a certain manner. We seek importance. We like to be loved and given all the importance. The tragedy of the modern world is that we are all becoming machines. As a result, we are all running for the outcome, and empathy …
