Covid diary: April 23 Brought together a team of 20 people. Together made ~150 calls. Convinced ~10 people to donate plasma. That's 10 lives people. That's 10 families ❤️

You're not lazy, your city just isn't walkable enough. Week 1 in Goa Vs. the last 2 weeks in Hyderabad (And yes, Hyderabad is still the most livable tech city IMO.)

Does anyone have any useful sentences that will change my life immediately upon being read?

Catching sunsets every day has become a ritual and honestly I'm not complaining

@ku1deep Got ittt, thank you :)

@apoorvaax I mean it can be anything. Clarifying something, part of a story, a narrative arc , instructions. But write like you are expected to build up on it later. You will clarify it to yourself.

Amid the Cambrian explosion of “agentic productivity” , all my best work the last few weeks has come from this workflow. 1. Write on paper. 2. Write like you are writing a prompt to yourself. 3. Keep writing till your brain is dry and your claw hurts. 4. Take picture with phone camera and ask Claude to convert to markdown and tell it to “change nothing even typos” 5. Use this file as a starting point for all further work with AI. Takes a few hours but the output is dramatically different than “chatting with your AI”

Life Update: Quit my 9-5, moved to Goa 🌴🌊

Hyderabad, you've been so so kind! ❤️ Now, it's time for the next adventure ✈️

V excited for Feb, life's feeling soooo bright ✨

If you are in college, fresh out of college, or in the early stages of your career, worried about AI taking your job, read this:

@AravindSingh08 Yes, but what about the times when they are at home? They do travel a lot in a year, that's actually good in my case. But I was thinking more from a hobby/ community perspective - everyday if they can spend 3-4 hours of their time at someplace where can meet people.

@apoorvaax Take them with you every 6 months

@harnidhish This is beautiful! Excited to read your book soon ❤️

An excerpt from my book that almost made me cry when I only wrote it. This draft has taken everything out of me, and it's been the greatest privilege of my life: "Punjabi has a stark way of reminding us that joy and sorrow were never separate states. We don’t say someone died, or woh mar gaye. We say, “oh poore ho gaye.” They became complete. It’s such a quiet, radical phrase. It treats death not as a cutoff, but as a completion. The idea that even endings can be full, that the last breath is not a negation but a rounding out. That’s what joy is, too. Not a burst of happiness that cancels pain, but a sense of wholeness that can hold it. The feeling that your life, with all its mess and ache and imperfection, is still somehow poora. Every time you let yourself feel joy, you’re participating in that same completeness. You’re saying: despite everything collapsing, despite the news, despite the losses, I am still capable of wonder."

@nutanc @AskPerplexity share the prompt for this output

Ok, so ChatGPT can create Aadhaar images. Thats not the interesting thing. The interesting thing is where did it get the Aadhar photos data for training?

@harnidhish THIS!!!!! Beautifully put, Harnidh ❤️

I get where this is coming from. There’s a frustration in seeing people not take care of themselves when you know the impact it can have—on confidence, energy, even just daily movement. But I also know, firsthand, that the conversation around weight, effort, and self-perception isn’t as simple as just “get up and try.” I’ve been fat all my life. I’ve also lost 22 kgs in the past year. And I can tell you—getting to this point wasn’t just about willpower or motivation. It was about unlearning years of shame, fear of judgment, and internalized failure. It was about accepting that my body wasn’t the enemy and that effort doesn’t have to come from self-hatred. It was about realizing that for so many people, the struggle isn’t just physical; it’s deeply psychological. Yes, body positivity isn’t fat positivity. I agree that no one should glorify unhealthy habits. But here’s what I’ve learned: shame has never made anyone healthier. Encouragement does. Respect does. Meeting people where they are does. Because for many, their weight isn’t about delusion—it’s about survival. Some are dealing with emotional eating, medical conditions, financial barriers, or simply not knowing where to start without feeling like they’ll be mocked or dismissed. You can hold the belief that people should take care of themselves while also acknowledging that they deserve kindness on that journey. Effort matters, but so does grace. And from someone who’s been there, I can tell you—when people feel supported rather than shamed, they’re far more likely to actually get up and try.

What I miss the most as a kid-without-sibling is brother or sister who'd tell you ki: dekhi jayegi, bas tu kar le I am my own sibling, telling me that it'll be fine, and we'll figure it out and I am really envious of my partner & my friends who have such siblings siblings are special, if you have them, cherish them, they give you a lot of support merely by existence, someone's got your back unconditionally

@nikkithaml @FittrPM Ah! Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
