For those who have lots of theories about practicality

I really appreciate the fact that you feel ‘No matter where problems come from, let the solutions come from me…’, but there is one thing that you need to make sure – you need the ability to listen and calculate.

There are people who are eager to help, but there’s one thing about it – how much of the person’s problems do you understand? If you have just the idea about the problem, please hold yourself back and listen more. The source of the problem is larger than you think. And that is exactly the reason why the person is telling you his problems – or why do you think the person is approaching you, when he knows his problem better, and when he knows his options better? The reason is, he needs other options, that are better – not just a solution. He knows a solution himself.

Meetin’ a close friend o' yers after over a year…

Well I thought I must write this. These thoughts were the ones that came when I was running to the theatre from my best friend’s place this evening… bear with me if the thought flow is weird; can’t help it. In fact I’m writing this after I wrote what I wrote below.

My First on Blogger

Well alright… I turn the chair abruptly and hit my elbow on the armrest. A shock wave runs thru my left arm which gives me mixed emotions.

Well, that’s a very scintillating, chilling ‘vibrant’ start…lol.

Good morning, folks…this is my first on Blogger after some small ones on fb… ;)

About

Life without adventures is as meaningful as a candle without its wick. But adventures are not all about going bungee jumping or white-water rafting. They are the different out-of-normal things you do. It is about how and how much you push yourself. To me, this includes going on a 100 km bicycle ride, or doing my first YouTube video, or building an online resume from scratch.

ISO 15919 Reference

A quick reference document for transliterating Indic languages. This reference is for the macOS; Linux has a much more intuitive input using the Compose key (I don’t use Windows; if you are referring to this for Windows, you’re out of luck). This page contains letters from two of the scripts that I am familiar with, and covers all sounds in the various languages I speak and write.

My Political Stance

My articles sometimes intersect with politics, so I think it’s important to be transparent about my views. This page offers a quick reference for readers and reminds me of my own biases (or lack thereof).

Apolitical Identity

I consider myself apolitical. While some, such as Akash Banerjee, criticize this position—and I’ve seen similar debates on social profiles and elsewhere—I remain firm in identifying as apolitical until I have reason to change. This is a personal stance; no one else gets to dictate it.

Privacy

Put plainly, I don’t want to know who you are.
