Happy Mother's Day to all the Mothers.

Made this set of conversations about memorable moments with Mom. Do share with your Mom if you relate them/like them.

PS: lookout for special hastag in each slide 😁

In the lore, Jirachi doesn’t just wake up for anyone, instead he will reveal himself and awaken from his 1,000-year slumber only when he reacts to the voices of pure hearted children.

I’ve long maintained (for over 10 years atp) that the Indian education system is a scam. Honestly I’m tired of saying it again and again. Everyone knows the problem, but these days I have a different opinion on how to change it. Given the climate, it’s not a popular opinion but I’ll say it anyway. There’s actually two ways to do it and the best analogy I’ve found to explain it is actually from the anime Code Geass.

The first is to directly take on the system, through anger and being vocal about it. It’s the Lelouch approach. But over time you will find that in order to fight villains, you have to become a villain yourself. This path starts peacefully with a genuinely good objective but is often hijacked by people who just enjoy violence and don’t care about the mission. It’s still a necessary path and it’s important some people take it. And we have a constitutional right to raise our voices. Especially because students have lost their lives because of this system, it’s critical to be vocal and put pressure on it. Many of our own channels have been as vocal as we can. But my experience of seeing these over decades means that in a year or two we’re back in the same situation. Temporary solutions, temporary apologies. But a permanent problem with new faces.

There’s another path, the Suzaku path. The Suzaku path fully understands that the system is broken and there are villains. But the approach is to patiently and slowly change the system. In the real world that also means building viable alternatives. It’s the less flashy, less vocal but more effective path. Unlike the other one, it takes a long time, sometimes decades of doing things like creating jobs and slowly but surely influencing the system to produce the type of talent you need and thus also changing things in the process. The education system exists to serve the ecosystem of jobs so over time the system has no choice but to change.

Separately, I also think we really need better technology in our systems to prevent things like leaks. If people opt for the default path, we have a right to demand that it is at least fair. And a resignation to keep the system accountable is a correct ask. But at the same time we need alternatives for those who don’t make it in the current system. It’s brutal and unfair and I think many people are super talented but aren’t very good at giving an exam. We cannot judge a person based on just that. I hope to dedicate my life to helping build some of those alternatives and who knows, many one day that even becomes the norm.

As a big fan of the pink flower blooms in Bengaluru, I try to click pictures of these trees wherever I spot them. In that journey, I got curious and did a little research and plotted it on a map. There are around 27k tabebuia rosea trees in Bangalore currently.

Boris created Claude Code. His point here is important - when AI handles the code generation, the engineer's value shifts to the decisions above the code:

1. what do we build?
2. why? for whom?
3. and how it all fits together.

The bottleneck was always judgment, taste, and systems thinking. AI just made that more obvious.

My parents spend 2–3 hours every day in the temple. For years, I argued with them about their faith, their rituals, and the traditions they followed so deeply. I never understood why.

Then, slowly, something shifted. I stopped arguing and started watching. Their faith keeps them grounded and calm. It gives their days a center, a rhythm, and a quiet sense of purpose. They have a community and a belief system that holds them steady, especially when life feels heavy.

In tough times, they place all their worries in God’s (or karma’s) hands and come back lighter and calmer. I find myself wishing I could do that as I carry everything. And I'm exhausted by it.

When good things happen, they're grateful. Not proud. They never believe good things happen only because of them. That humility. That constant gratitude. I don't have it. I take credit when things go well and blame myself when they don't.

Here's what really got me:
My parents have been living the same routine for 35 years. Same rhythm, same days, same life. I can't do the same thing for 35 days without feeling restless.

We often feel an existential crisis, questioning meaning, direction, and purpose. I never see them struggle with that. They look content. They wake up with purpose baked in. Community built in. A place to put their weight when it gets too heavy.

I used to think they were trapped in tradition.
Now I wonder if I'm trapped in endless becoming.
They found something to rest inside. I'm still looking.

Not saying religion is the answer. But they solved something I'm still trying to figure out:
How to carry life without carrying all of it yourself.
How to be content without labeling it complacency.
How to arrive, instead of always optimizing for the next thing.
