This is my independent space where I share my thoughts and learnings, written in a mix of languages. It’s very much a testing ground for a bundle of experiments. Learning by doing!
Building systems & catching up on books backlog. Learning that सार्थक बदलाव स्थायी होता है।

A side quest to let any visitor choose the website’s UI, moving from 7 to 93 looks with 6% more code. Made the website richer on top but simpler underneath. And this time, used several guards to almost nullify the earlier mistakes by AI.

A quick journey of creating 1 website, 2 native mobile apps, 1,000+ commits, 330+ recorded AI mistakes with 0 prior experience. This is as much a learning experience as a record of keeping things honest.
Books | Science, History
Where 'How to Feed the World' focuses on one survival pillar, this book by Vaclav Smil zooms out to energy and economics. I want to read this demanding book to better understand the macro-systems driving human progress.
Books | Psychology, History
I’m finally making time to read this book. While it challenges the pessimistic narrative that the world is growing more violent, my goal is also to observe how a master researcher structures massive global datasets into a cohesive narrative.
Books | Science
Getting ready to read this book to ground myself in physical realities. I want to see how Vaclav Smil synthesises agronomy and economics to explain the hidden complexities of food production, without the political noise.
Movies | Action
Phenomenal live-action adaptation with jaw-dropping, fast-paced sword choreography! Takeru Satoh’s acting is really good as Kenshin with Tatsuya Fujiwara shining as ruthless Shishio. Runtime gets a bit lengthy across films, but the action totally delivers. Watch the whole franchise on a big screen!
Games | Action, Horror
The legendary campaign, interesting puzzles, iconic characters, tense moments - so many things come together - in excellent detail!
Games | Action, Sci-Fi
Will we get something like this again? This is one of the very best solo FPS gameplay experiences! Expansive landscapes vs tight halls and interesting mechanics! Sound design and music fit the excellent campaign story so well! Probably one of the very few reasons to get a Xbox X?
Movies | Action, Thriller
I found it to be a wild, inventive sci-fi ride with fierce class-warfare energy! Really wonderful acting, whether subdued or eccentric, by everyone! It gets gloriously bizarre, but it completely hooks you. Watch it with good headphones!
