To everyone asking, "Why aren't Indians building crazy, innovative stuff?"—they absolutely are. It just doesn't always make the headlines.
Go give it a try and show some love!
A guy from China just built a system that reshapes thousands of glowing particles into a jellyfish, a dragon, a statue, and a samurai. Just by moving his hands in front of a camera.
Just a webcam reading his hand position.
Every particle recalculates in real time. 60 frames per second. Not pre-rendered. Not a recording. Live.
Clench both fists and the entire thing collapses into nothing.
The whole setup runs on a regular camera and a GPU particle system. No special hardware.
This is where hand tracking, computer vision, and real-time graphics have gotten. And most people haven't noticed.
Apple used to be infamous for lengthy app reviews.
Ironically, my recent experience has been the opposite—Google Play has felt like the bigger bottleneck.
If AI is helping us build apps 10x faster, shouldn't publishing keep up too?

The delays aren't technical.
They're in vague review rejections, slow support, long review cycles, and circular requirements that leave new developers stuck before they can even launch.
I grew up believing achievement would bring happiness.
What it actually brought was temporary validation.
Real confidence comes from knowing you're valued even when you fail.
That's the lesson I hope my children learn much earlier than I did.
The older I get, the more I understand this:
Gold fades, titles change, but what you learn and who you become… that’s lifelong prosperity.

Had a chat with friend and his words punched me in the gut...
"What if we're burnt out not because we're doing too much, but because we're doing too little of what lights us up.”
🌟 Recent introspections that have made a big difference in my life:
1. Cut down on distractions (bye Instagram! 👋)
2. Listen to your inner voice & clarify your goals. Read extensively on goal-aligned topics 📚
3. Cherish family time—true happiness lies there💖

5 lucky things that I believe defined 99% of where I am in life today.
1/ I was born a male
2/ I was born fair-skinned
3/ I was born to parents who went to college
4/ I was sent to an English medium school
5/ I was raised in a big city (Delhi)
It will be pompous af for me to think that its my hard work, or grit, or discipline or anything like that, which played a major role to get me to where I am in life today.
The truth is - I am privileged.
I was born into a very small tight funnel that set me up for a lot of things in life that millions of people will never get to see.
They work far harder than I ever will.
And a lot of them are far smarter than I will ever be.
I just got lucky.
Luck is a fascinating concept.
Just because we can't measure it we tend to undervalue it.
Or worse, try to think that we can make our own luck.
Sure we can.
But that's a finetune on the actual luck (or the lack of it) that you didn't have any agency over.
Ruchi, my wife and I thought about this often, as parents.
Our kids are born into massive privilege, that they didn't have to work for at all.
- Abundance of money
- Global exposure
- Educated parents
- World class education
the list doesn't end
What is our role as parents then?
Is it to snatch away the privilege?
Make them experience 'the real world'?
Make them sweat?
Yes, to some extent.
But they will still experience the privilege.
It can't be wished away.
So our main role, we figured, is to make them recognize this privilege everyday.
When they sit in an air-conditioned car, licking their fancy premium ice-cream and someone knocks on the door trying to sell them a tissue box costing less than what the ice-cream costs, the one thought that should NEVER cross their mind is - I am above them and they are lesser than me.
Instead, the thought should be - I am grateful for what I have today, for which I have done nothing. I just got lucky.
Recognize your luck.
Embrace it humbly.
@shreyas True, it's also important to give PMs space to work or demonstrate other skills. If you keep them super busy in one area, how can you expect them to grow in other areas where they may be even better and can create more value for your business.
@bandanjot 1) uncertainty is part of every aspect of life
2) No job is 'secure'
3) keep upskilling yourself
4) If you have job, be thankful
5) If you don't have job, this time too shall pass, just keep faith in higher forces
This workflow diagram is floating around again. I made it back in 2017, and it was initially published in this blog post: https://t.co/HGxBPTHgjm
I wanted to share a few notes on it.

What a special day and moment. There is a different energy altogether, not sure if someone is showering on me or I am attracting it.
I am special+unique and so is my life's journey. Here comes the time to redefine it and sparkle🌟
