You are right. The real story is that Sahil was at the final stages of his unbelievable innovation, the first ever in the world, a time machine that works.
Sahil was planning to go back in time, five thousand years ago, and eliminate the caste system so that all modern humans today could live with equality and dignity. But the Manuvadi professor, Doolla, found out about his plan, destroyed his time machine, and shattered Sahil's dream, hope, and lifetime of work. A dejected Sahil died by suicide.
Hopefully, the inquiry establishes the real story, as just illustrated by me, and Doolla pays for his sins.
Not upgrading your phone until it completely stops working shows that FOMO has no power over you and that you’ve reached a different level of maturity.
Before the nectar came the poison.
That is the lesson of Samudra Manthan, and I find it more relevant to our AI moment than almost anything written about technology this year.
We talk endlessly about what AI can do. We talk far less about what AI runs on. Energy demand from AI-focused data centres surged 50% in 2025 alone. By 2030, the sector's electricity consumption is set to nearly double. For India, our own data centre energy footprint is projected to more than double in the same period.
This is the infrastructure question hiding beneath the innovation headline.
On World Environment Day, I return to our oldest stories to find that some truths travel well across centuries.

No, no puedes trabajar de 9 a 5 y caminar 10,000 pasos al día, leer 2 libros a la semana, cocinar todas las noches, limpiar a diario, mantener amistades, cuidar de tu familia, cuidarte a ti mismo, dormir 8 horas, cultivar hobbies y ser completamente productivo en el trabajo todos los días.
Eso no es motivación, es una tontería irreal.
Libérate de eso.
Wanted to send a few documents to Bengaluru. Courier quoted Rs 350 (overnight) from Bhubaneswar.
Since it was just some printouts, I simply used print service of a quick commerce platform with delivery address in Bengaluru.
The documents reached in just 16 minutes 😅
What a time to be alive!
Too hot to step out during summers.
Too much air pollution to step out during winters.
Too water logged to step out during monsoons.
Most of India's metro cities. Unlivable.
I don’t want a city on Mars. I don’t want AI in every app. I don’t want data centres in space. I don’t want humanoids or flying cars. I want clean water. I want a stable climate. I want bees to survive. And a habitable planet.
I’m staying with a friend who moved to Uttarakhand 3 years ago.
Today she lives in a mountain-view home where AQI is literally 10. Works remotely for an MNC.
Keeps 1 cow, 1 goat & 2 dogs. All vegetables are homegrown & has full-time household help for chores.
This is the new rich lifestyle.
Not the Magnolias or the Camellias.
This is the view from the room.
the Karan johrification of Indian weddings is sooo tiresome. Everything is like a performance. But who are they performing for???
Earlier the dances were spontaneous( to dhol vadaks). There would be one dude taking really fun candid pictures. And one video guy making cringe wedding video.
Lot of Pooja and rituals followed by shaadi
Yesterday, guests were at home and Mom asked me to make a milkshake. I opened Blinkit and it showed ₹235 with a 17-minute wait.
I just stepped out of the house, walked 150 meters, it took me only 5-6 minutes, and I paid just ₹168.
We are getting addicted to these apps, and they are charging us so much. Go local, you’ll save money, and more importantly, the local dairy uncle will even give you goods on credit. Blinkit will not.
Yesterday I went to a wedding function. I don’t want to criticize their food, but they did something really stupid.
At the wedding, they had:
- an expensive DJ truck system
- a lot of fireworks just for the entry of the bride and groom
- Live screening of the marriage
- Screening of the family pre-wedding photoshoots, video they did out of town
- a singer and an orchestra
- 3 cameramen and a drone
- photobooth
They invited around 800 people. Maybe 250 were close family who stayed till the end, but most people came mainly for the dinner.
After spending so much money on unnecessary show off, they cut the cost in the food. The food was very cheap quality, not even worth trying, and it was served to guests who were invited to enjoy dinner and give blessings.
I found this stupid because they cared more about show off than food. I came back empty stomach, gave my blessing in a cover and went straight to a restaurant.
