ABOUT ME
Grew up in Bengaluru, India. Studied Electronics Engineering (UG) in NTU Singapore. Moved to and worked in USA for 6 months during my undergraduate degree in a semiconductor foundry start-up in Silicon Valley (near San Francisco.)
Currently founded and working on a social start-up GEODHA (geodha.org) towards tracking and providing data analytics on various community challenges. Useful step towards any progress in society/economy, where ensuring resiliency and reliability in ground infrastructure such as water, electricity, roads, cleanliness, communication and more, is a critical first step. I can provide many examples for this.
My LONG term dream and aspirations for my career are to work towards electricity resilience and advancements towards nuclear fusion and space exploration, and in life I want to build new and cool technologies. I am passionate about software, physics, philosophy, education and food, and am always exploring new hobbies.
I like to write about a lot of things and also collect and curate useful nuggets of information that I now hope to share through my website. Through my writing, my goals are:
To meet likeminded individuals.
To share information that I found useful for myself in improving my life and overcoming challenges, so that others in similar circumstances may also find it useful.
To share ideas, that I have the knowledge of, but don’t have the resources (be in infrastructure, time, investment, etc.) to execute and hope I could inspire others to take it up.
Through writing and expression, my own ideas get refined in the process, and it becomes a useful repository of information that I can refer to, and will guide my career.
As well, I hope to inspire others to be able to express themselves!
My primary offering - my blog where I talk on a variety of topics! I value your time, and so in my writing style I aim to always end with useful takeaways that everyone could benefit from. Hope you may find my works interesting! Do leave a comment, so I know how you felt about it :D and feel free to reach out to me to discuss on any of them.
All my writing works and all content on this site is original and written entirely by me (unless referenced and specified.) While I’ve made all the information public and ideas free to share with no licensing - do credit me if sharing, so my works may reach out to more people.

This is an essential list. What else is there do in life? What makes a life worth living? The difference between a small company and a big one, is that the big one provides opportunities for it's employees to enrich themselves in these areas mentioned in the list. For e.g. free food, cultural events, company library, parental leave, etc. The employee feels like actually living rather than a mundane robot like cog in the machine.

The three concepts are deeply connected and intertwined, and cannot be clearly distinguished, but note that they are not inherent of each other. People of a certain religion develop cultures and practices, but it is not inherent of the religion. All religion leads to spirituality, but spirituality has no religion. I think this is an important distinction needed.

Two approaches for dealing with addiction. The first is understanding what is happening: "Smoking is Awesome" by Kurzgesagt
The second is more meditation. Many forms. Even suggested in AA groups for those overcoming alcohol addiction. Helps the brain to think more rationally.

Even if you feel that the waste management in your city mix up the waste in the end - still do it. Especially segregation between dry and wet waste as there are people who sort through the waste and your mixed waste bag is not making their lives any easier. Secondly mixed waste most often is burnt due to economical constraints - more emissions and climate change.
Growing more plants is one of the best ways to improve air quality in your home and city.

I suggest squats as it works out the entire lower body and is one of the single best mobility exercise that needs no gym equipment. Any long-term leg pain, squats was the one exercise that solved it for me. Apart from that, the mobility enhancements from stronger legs is simply amazing - being able to hike and trek easily, dancing all night long, running feeling like gliding effortlessly, and more. If you already do squats and some exercise, go further and make it harder. How to do so? The following is a great guide:
How to do squats from any fitness level?
Our body needs water for everything. Drink a lot of water especially in between meals and before going to sleep. Especially if you have congestion and snoring, just drinking water before going to sleep is life-changing. Think about it, if you were awake for 5-8hrs you'd naturally drink water in between, but that's not happening when you are asleep for that many hours.
A lot of people panic over headlines of certain food item being dangerous for our health. Many times though the risks are present only if consuming the food item excessively or without a balanced diet. While food safety and regulation is essential, a healthy body that eats every in moderation will be able to continue to stay healthy, by the body's natural healing ability and can thus sustain even having a few health points temporarily knocked off.

I'll be honest - I hoped to write an article but couldn't complete it because of being overwhelmed by how grave the situation is. I'll list the challenges, these are ones that need our attention and focus today. If you are interested in learning more about any of them, let me know, and I can guide you to the resources and ideas I have collected.
In no particular order, here are the top areas that I expect India to face challenges in the coming future:
Climate Change, Extreme Weather Events, and Natural Disasters.
Air Quality - IT IS TERRIBLE RIGHT NOW.
Youth workforce emigrating out of the country - inevitable trend for at least one more generation to come (20-30 years)
Obesity, and related health conditions.
Waste Management
Woman safety, and workplace equality.
For each I have A LOT to share.
