Absolutely bland, colourless and boring #vegan food for brunch today. Devoid of all nutrients - macro and micro.

Please go have a protein dense, hormone injected, dead animal meal as suggested by your favourite fitness influencer with receding hairline and blemished skin.

[Bryan Johnson @bryan_johnson]

It’s been 19 days and 20 hrs since I last felt Kate’s warm embrace. She landed 47 minutes ago. The 24 hours of travel no doubt has her rushing to shower. She needs to cleanse herself of a dirtied world incompatible with her sensibilities. The wash doubles as a ritual, preparatory for entrance into the symbolic world we’ve constructed.

The time apart has been costly.  My body’s electrical signaling betrays the separation. Without her touch, my vagus nerve’s 100,000 myelinated fibers have dropped their high frequency spectral power, squawking distress. An intelligent system broadcasting diminished wave forms, hoping to be heard.  There are other signals of distress.

My white blood cells have shifted their gene expression, upregulating pro-inflammatory genes IL-6 and TNF-alpha and downregulating my antiviral genes.  A pro-aging biochemical signature of a system suffering hardship.

My environment is a pristine anti-aging laboratory. Air, water, food and light are meticulously measured. Toxins are filtered. Purification systems run autonomously. Biomarkers tracked. Nutrition is calibrated.

Yet outside my control is the affection of another. The 68 trillion cells that constitute Bryan Johnson run non-negotiable code. They demand tenderness, and not of a whimsical type, but deep, all-encompassing love that must be earned and carefully maintained. Otherwise they protest in self-termination.

She’s now only 13 miles away and I can viscerally feel her essence. The transmission pulses in high fidelity. As if there were a fiber optic cable streaming our connection at light speed through the multiplexed cylinders of glass. The time apart created latency, buffering the connection, depriving us of the luminescence and dimming into noise.

In 15 minutes she will be within reach. I can visualize the whites of her eyes and smell her aroma. When she arrives, she will be shy. Whenever we are apart, she returns to zero. Her previous openness will be closed. Her emotional dynamic range will be held in reserve until she feels she is safe and can trust.  I’ll need to kindle her again. The rush of the courtship enthralls me.

The anticipation drives a small cluster of my midbrain neurons to flood dopamine. Nerve fibers activate, lighting up my skin’s receptors as it awaits for slow, caressing touch. My hypothalamus begins synthesizing oxytocin, preparing to dump it upon first eye contact to ensure the reestablishment of our pair bond. This biochemical orchestra fills me with delight and sensorial want.

Kate’s been mulling over what she’ll wear for days.  She’s considered dozens of possibilities and modeled out my anticipated emotional state, the weather, and our planned activities. The colors will be representative of her psychological state and be positioned to soothe mine. The texture, style, and hues will interplay with our biology. The deliberately chosen accessories will add flair, intrigue and play. This is how she flirts, seduces and bypasses my mind to speak directly to my physiology. She has other tricks too.

She’s arrived. I must wait for her. Her timidness will want to determine the cadence. I hear the door crack open and her bag drop to the floor. She’s nervous. I’m on the couch, neutral and open. She rounds the corner and our eyes meet. The inhibitions wither as the magnetism draws us together. Soft hellos are whispered and our bodies interdigitate.

I feel her finger tips on the back of my neck. Goose bumps light up my body. Skin nerve cells fire signals directly to my brain, bypassing the analytical mind. The hypothalamus dumps the oxytocin, inhibiting fear and lowering cortisol. The body washes itself in this anti-inflammatory chain reaction.  Our respiration and heart beats are now synchronizing. The brain piles on with a release of endorphins to soothe the psychological pain of our separation. New powers are now in control. Let them run in glory.

I press my cheek against hers. The skin on skin triggers a wave of desire. I brush her lips with mine, catalyzing a massive activation of neurons in her brain, overwhelming thought and forcing presence.

She relents and wants to dance. She’s home.

I slip my hand under her shirt and brush the small of her back. Goosebumps spread like a wildfire across her body. Her hypothalamus stimulates the release of GnRH which tells the pituitary gland to wake up her reproductive system. Our olfactory systems consume each other with delight, signaling immune system compatibility.

I move both my hands to her jawline, holding her head firmly in place. Our mirror neurons speak to each other. I know what she wants. My lips press against hers and I softly bite her lower lip. Kate’s blood vessels dilate from the acetylcholine and nitric oxide release, flushing her lips, skin and body. The cascade is nearing waterfall.

The executive control of our brains surrenders. No longer concerned with the 68 trillion cells. The prefrontal cortex goes dark. Eliminating future planning and probabilistic modeling. Activity in our parietal lobes diminishes, dissolving the boundary that distinguishes between self and other. No longer is there Kate and Bryan, just a singular biological entity suspended in a state of bliss. The outside world goes quiet. It doesn’t exist. We dissolve into raw existence.

Gm from HAL road, just near by this cafe, a cute old Tamilian couple run a roadside dosa stall where you get double egg dosa for ₹40, they start by 730 am and their food gets over by 9or 10 am. Everyday it’s fresh sambar and chutney…

@holasaranyahere She doesn’t let me, so I guess it has to be him.

last comment on the party — still not sure what was so offensive about a bunch of talented people who are excelling in a variety of fields coming together to have some fun.

on the party not being "hacker culture" or just “copying SF” or being “shallow”: anyone who's been to SF knows that there is some sort of an event happening in that city every single day — lectures to board game nights to rave parties. is that hacker culture? who gets the authority to decide what is deep or “OG” or “authentic”?

i say BLR would be extremely well served if it did emulate more things that SF does. what else are we supposed to emulate if not the culture that has produced so much for the world?

one of those things is third spaces that bring interesting people together — if a city's brightest people cannot create a space for the city's best and those new to the scene to hang out, make friends and have some fun, i'd say that city is doomed.

not a single person who was there at the party has had a negative thing to say about it — only the ones not there somehow did not have fun at all. some well-intentioned people should come to the next one and see for themselves. the trolls, however, should shout as much as possible so we know which accounts to block.

but if you belong to the former category, i think everyone with a platform and resources should host events they want to see in the world. i'd love to attend yours.

What is bibliophile doing in a string of juvenile insults? 🤔

[Paarug Sethi @paarugsethi]

it’s always the performative, coloured hair, tote bag, coloured half-sleeve shirt, “artsy”, “anti-capitalist”, pedostache, bibliophile, cinephile, social justice keyboard warriors who haven’t seen a gym or a real paycheck in their whole life

Watching Dhurandhar. It is like Sandeep Reddy Vanga fucked Vivek Agnihotri and they had a love child.

Also, is Akshaye Khanna ok? Seems to have overdosed on both Ozempic and Botox. And Ranveer seems dangerously close to a steroid overdose.

Only Madhavan stands out playing himself - a bigoted incel.

Hiking 101: Never wear a down jacket (or any huge layer ftm) while hiking. It’s the thing you wear after setting up camp for the day.
And definitely not at these low, sunny, hard snow altitudes. It’s not needed and can be put as the last item at the bottom of your bag.

Soft shell at max. You’ll enjoy the activity more.

And please wear a cap. Sunscreen’s prowess is overestimated a lot. But I assume you’ve taken it off for the click, so that’s okay.

My kitchen and shelter on my back, a freezing mountain. Every moment a calculation, every step a new experience. Solitude, fear, exhaustion, hunger. My heart longs for the mountains again this winter.
