Thanks to the birth of my daughter and the support from my employer, Pulse Energy, I spent quite a bit of time in my village Bhattugudem, near Bibinagar, just outside Hyderabad. I saw something that made me stop and think about the life in city vs village. Farms were being worked on, yes, but only by the elderly.Construction sites were full of workers from Bihar and UP.Shops in the village? Most of them now run by Marwadis from Gujarat and Rajasthan. And the locals? They are gone. Moved to the cities, like I did, in search of a better life. …
I just finished reading Fountainhead by Ayn Rand and wanted to write a blog post on what I feel it changed in me. This book has been with me for many years now. And I started it many times, too, but didn’t keep going. It’s almost mysterious that I picked up this book when I was deeply disturbed about my life in general. I still am disturbed, but it gave me a direction to follow. The Howard Roark character has been mighty inspirational. It depicts what a man is supposed to be. He follows his soul and seeks what brings …
App updates are a part and parcel of an app lifecycle. What I have struggled with personally in my career is how to make the new update exciting enough for the user. I recently came across this interesting banner on the Fastned App. It’s an EV Charging App from the Netherlands. I opened the new app and saw this huge, almost full-screen intro card. I love the bright yellow card surrounded by the black border. It stands out, and the artwork is pretty neat and not overly done. Enough space is given between the hero text and the middle animation …
I was back in Bangalore after a long time. And I was catching up with some of my buddies today. It was a casual meeting to talk about life, dreams, and stuff that mattered. I met Sumiit for the first time, and we were chatting about a book I was reading, The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. Mind you, this book has been with me for many years now. I started it many times but couldn’t finish. Determined, I started reading it again recently and glad that I stuck with it this time. I explained the basic idea in the book, …
There was a time in my 20s when every weekend was an adventure. Almost any given weekend, you’d find me hiking up a new peak in the western ghats, chasing waterfalls, or camping under a blanket of stars. From Kudremukh to Kodachadri, I explored it all. But while I was busy conquering the misty mountains of the western ghats, something was missing—the towering, majestic Himalayas. In my late 20s, Life took over the driving seat. Work was demanding and sometime later, I got married. Result? the 7-10 day breaks I needed to explore the north truly became rarer. Before I …
Death is a subject I have understood for a long time and come to terms with. I could sense that in my reactions when I hear death news these days. However, one thing that keeps me awake at night is that I am alive. Not just alive and breathing but leading a very active & intentional life. The more I think about this subject the more I am convinced I have one chance. I don’t know if I would be born as a human being in the next life, Surely I can’t say if I’d be as smart as I …
