It’s easy to consume, it’s hard to create. I think about this every day; like it’s an eternal battle going on in my head. So I’m just going to conduct an experiment. I’m going to try and post consistently for 30 days. Let’s see how it goes. If I get really stuck on a day,…

What I learned working on a Google project
I recently got to work on a Google project as part of my work at rtCamp. It is an amazing feeling to know that your work is going to be seen by thousands of people all over the world. It’s also kind of scary tbh. The most important thing I learned is that the focus…
KZ ZST Review
I bought these earphones (or rather IEMs) in July of last year, and since then I’ve bought another pair of headphones that costs over 7 times. But I still think this is a good pair of IEMs. They cost me ₹1800 in India, and they’re priced at around $20 in most other countries. For the…
Chinatown (1974)
Chinatown is set in 1937 LA, where the city is small (in its early stages), the desert is huge, and there’s nothing in the valley. I love how 1937 LA looks and feels. J.J. Gittes is a private investigator specializing in exposing cheating spouses. He is hired by Evelyn Mulwray to find out if her…
Exercise
There is no doubt that exercise plays a major role in keeping us mentally stable and healthy. Well, it sure keeps me mentally stable and healthy. So why do so many of us not exercise? Why can’t we make ourselves spare a few minutes of the day for our body? The first step is the…
The value of a good break
It’s 1:30 am. I completely forgot about posting. I literally just got back out of bed because I suddenly remembered I have to post, while I was half-asleep and subconsciously dreaming. It’s interesting how a small break of 2 days made me completely forget about my 30-day posting commitment. The 2-day break was a good…
Detox
Every 3 months or so, I do a “detox” where I just shut everything down and go completely off the grid. No laptop, no computer, no phone, no nothing. A break from any and all kinds of technology. A detox like this helps me clear my head a lot. The break from all those notifications,…
Dolby Access for Windows
I tried out the Dolby Access app from the Windows store with my headphones (Hifiman HE-400i) today on a colleague’s recommendation. It doesn’t seem to make a lot of difference to the sound for my headphones. When it comes to music there is no difference at all, but for gaming, I do feel there is…
Inspector Morse – Colin Dexter
[I’m going to start reading an Inspector Morse mystery tomorrow. I’m getting bored with the monotony that comes with being stuck inside.] * I first read an Inspector Morse mystery not too long ago – maybe a couple of years ago – although my dad had got me two Morse books from his trip to…
Stephen King On Writing
[Yesterday, I mentioned that I’m reading On Writing by Stephen King. I want to talk a bit more about it.] * On Writing by Stephen King is Stephen King’s autobiography mixed with tips on writing and being a writer. I’m almost halfway through the book and it’s amazing how much this man has gone through.…
Resources to become a web developer
[Thought I’ll list down some resources for anyone looking to get into web development from scratch.] * Disclaimer: I am not a web developer (well, at least as of now… who knows if I switch roles). But being part of a company that does web development as its main business, I get to be around…
