Decades later, we still remember the exact moment when we heard the news.

And if there's one thing we should have learned that day, it is that violence isn't a solution. It is time to reflect as a country and as a society.

To friends, coworkers, acquaintances who we lost that day and since then. 🇺🇸

Prompt engineering is like using a GPS for navigating an AI model.

You define where you want to go (your goal),
provide the right inputs (your prompt and context),
and optimize your phrasing (route)
to ensure the model (navigation system)
takes you there efficiently.

I recently discovered two excellent articles that are highly relevant to the current trends, especially with the growing interest in "outsourcing" writing tasks.

It's a well-known principle that one should never delegate one's core competencies.

Running is a constant reminder that sheer will can often break through all reasoning.

You gotta stick with it and put one step in front of the other.

This book changed my life in ways I did not think a book could. Also, the recent passing of my father further cemented some of the things that the book mentioned, including
1) letting go of things early,
2) proper documentation of all worldly things, and
3) keeping things simple

Range of emotions.

- Sadness- India was a slave country for way too long.
- Happiness - India is independent now and thriving.
- Satisfaction - Saw it in real life; and this was right after I’d run the half-marathon in Mumbai.
- Amazement - beautiful humongous and structure; how did they do it?

100 years of Gateway of India. This is where the last of the Britishers left leaving India and independent country.

Lots of history here, and fortunate to have seen it this year for the first time.

Thankful for a lot.
Most importantly to have the optionality to do what the heart desired. Looking forward to 2025 and excited for what awaits.

Ah! What a beautiful place Hampi is. Enjoy a couple more pictures.

Come, take a trip while we are here in Bengaluru. Lots to go around and see in beautiful South India - Legacies, Lavishness, and Lakes.

It’s amazing that the foreign invaders burnt the prosperous Hindu city down and pillaged it for over six months in 1565, and yet it stands showcasing the glory. Here’s a few pictures from earlier today. #Hampi

Indian cultural heritage is so rich and mesmerizing.

Human jealousy, greed, and ego has led to the destruction of some of the most beautiful things ever created on Earth.

Running and traveling has kept me sane from all the chaos in the day to day life. Investing in your mental peace should be mandatory.

Shubh Deepavali, everyone!

May the Festival of Lights illuminate your homes and hearts. Deepavali is a time for new beginnings and the triumph of good over evil, light over darkness, and knowledge over ignorance. It commemorates Lord Ram's return to Ayodhya.
