However hard we try, it is not possible to fold a piece of paper beyond 8 folds, irrespective of size, shape or form. At one point the resistance to change exceeds the push and flexibility gives away. Same for humans.

Geoffrey Hinton, the winner of Nobel Prize in Physics (2024) for his contribution to the technology driving AI, using the ceremonial platform to highlight the downsides of AI. Great short speech, right from the top. youtu.be/-f5WQAk3dYo?si…

It's a strange relief that the most pressing issue in my life right now is the remix of Sonu Nigam's 'Bijuria.

If they cancel 'Late night with Seth Meyers', I will genuinely be in deep depression.

Can we normalise giving a 1 year cloud storage subscription as a birthday gift?!

Whoa! USD 1,00,000 per annum as H1B visa fee. That’s more than the salary of several of Indian IT employees deputed there I believe. Not sure if it would any more be sustainable for Indian IT companies. thehindu.com/news/national/…

While many businesses struggle and fail, it's surprising to see a company like AstroTalk stand out with a massive ₹1,200 crore revenue.

My ★★★ review of Mirage on Letterboxd boxd.it/b7vmfZ

This 'Songs Of Paradise' feels so authentically Kashmiri. Not the best judge of the same, but it definitely feels so nice and beautiful.

I'm officially at that age where I'm not upgrading my phone until it stops working. (Can't afford the latest iphone is silent 🚶🏻‍♂️)

Well!

Slowly, but surely finding my way back to holistic well-being. Not that it was grossly ignored, but that it was lurking way too far from my potential, due to this and that. It took few fitness related episodes to bring it back to focus.

The underlying pitch of any thriller or crime fiction, is that it keeps the reader guessing about the killer, the motivation, the device, the thought process, the place, the vengeance and/or the timing. A combination of above keeps the readers on the edge of the seat.

I have seen many many features and documentaries. But I have not seen one as clear and simple and well-intended as ‘Testament:The story of Moses’ on Netflix. I wish, all documentaries were like this. So good. So educational.

I hate my ex. Wow it really is a thin line.

Late night drive oderso!

So US has told Japan and Australia to spend minimum 3.5% of their GDP on defence. Substantial portion of this should be allocated to US. South Korea has been told to spend at least 10% of it’s GDP on defence. Told is the operative word here. Welcome to the new world order.

Something that I'm unable to crack is that both these movies were directed by the same person 😶

I have never been a fan of books that win the popular awards, more so those that win International Booker’s so was extremely sceptical picking this one. So much so that I bought it on whim, kept it in my TBR section of library and then completely forgot about it.
