Writing

All writing

I recently found writing as a way to control my cluttered mind. I write about life, design, purpose, and anything that comes to mind.

• Oct 2026Ai in school to What’s coming in 15 Years?→Thoughts on how schools might prepare children for an AI-shaped future.
• Oct 2026ChatGPT, stop giving me emotional support.→I have been using ChatGPT for emotional support, and I am done. A boundary so AI stays a tool for work and learning, not a substitute for feeling and thinking.
• Oct 2026Afterlife→On belief, the scientific view of nothingness, and why religion may be the story that keeps a civilization sane.
• Sep 2026Another Late Night Train→A tourist asking for a toilet in Fort Kochi turned into a midnight rabbit hole about public sanitation, self-cleaning toilets in Paris, and why civic infrastructure has to be designed for the worst reasonable user.
• Apr 2026Intelligence as a utility→From a blank Google Maps reply to a Tata essay mug — reflections on outsourcing writing to AI, Sam Altman's vision of metered intelligence, and why staying uncomfortable might be the most human thing left.
• Feb 2026Is AI Making Us Dumber?→AI is a force multiplier — but is it quietly eroding our cognitive abilities? A deep dive into effort, learning, and the long-term impact of outsourcing thinking.
• Feb 2026Why We Built a Custom ORM Instead of SQLAlchemy→How we replaced SQLAlchemy with a 900-line custom ORM that boots 4x faster and keeps our team productive
• Feb 2026Why Do First-Time Founders Keep Making These 3 Mistakes?→Second year of college, I started my first startup. Five years and six failures later, I finally see the patterns that kept me from success.
• Dec 2025From "half breath" to "Full breath"→A reflection on finding peace in the present moment and learning to breathe fully through life's challenges.
• Nov 2025We're Here for Each Other→A reflection on money, purpose, and realizing that life is about serving others rather than escaping the rat race.
