Obsessed with building stuff that truly matters.

I can’t stop myself from doing napkin math at every place I go and reading Paul Graham essays in bed before crashing.

I post random stuff I find interesting and juicy. Once in a while, it resonates with a lot of people.

In my free time, I love going down rabbit holes on the most random topics. Right now, I’m deep into learning about Silver Tsunamis (aging population trends), Akiyas (abandoned houses in Japan), & Greenwashing.

HUGE Naval FAN!!

This is a $300B+ affiliate commerce game. Everyone wants in.


Exciting times ahead!!

OpenAI wants to add checkout inside ChatGPT… and take a cut of every sale. 🛒

Basically, ChatGPT won’t just recommend - it might sell too.

Imagine asking for “best headphones” and buying them right there - no Google, no middleman.

But here's the real question:
Will it still show the best products…Or just the ones that give OpenAI a cut?

Sam Altman says rankings won’t be influenced by affiliate dollars - but we’ve heard that before and google does exactly the opposite.

yes. I discovered there’s a world beyond the computer!!

Sunlight > screen light.
Conversations > comments.
Touch grass > touch screen.
Board games > video games.
Fresh air > air conditioning.
Real laughter > LOLs.

So take a walk meet new people!

It’s the OG dopamine hit.

If you're looking to make new friends or someone to talk to, hit me up. Always looking to meet and talk to interesting folks.

A dollar spent in New York actually feels like 50 cents….its literally half as much!

You need to spend twice as much to get the same thing you'd get in most of the US.

However, a dollar in India feels exactly the opposite. We get so much for the same dollar.

Same haircut. Same meal. Same lifestyle for less than 1/5th the cost.

That’s why I love vacationing in India.

Everything feels abundant - the food, the family, the comfort.

Looks like Tesla will put a leading AI model (Grok) in their cars before Apple puts one on their "smart" phones.

My faith in Apple's ability to innovate is going down every single day!!

Mid-fade on sides & back - starts at 1/8" and fades up to 1/2" to keep it crisp and defined against your brown skin tone
Oversized, rectangular glossy black frames with dark tint — worn high on the nose to sharpen and contrast facial softness Outfit (
Loose white cable-knit sweater - top 1–2 buttons undone for a casual, open neckline
Head tilted up 10–15° - gives structure and posture, especially for round faces


I let AI dress me, style my hair, AND tell me how to exactly pose me for a photo…attached is the result!!

I asked for a haircut, outfit, and pose.

It gave me a full blueprint - fade, sweater, plants, mirror angle and all.

I just uploaded my random selfie and here’s what it gave me which is very interesting -

Attributes:
Thick, wavy Indian hair
A warm brown skin tone
A oval face with soft features
Desi guy energy

Suggestions:

The benchmarks maybe off a little but literally the model is still so good.

Crazy part is its one guy doing all this at the same time…

Launching rockets 

Running Tesla, the world’s most valuable car company

Building brain chips with Neuralink

Running Starlink with thousands of satellites in space

Buying Twitter and turning it into X

Digging tunnels with The Boring Company

Changing how we power the world with Tesla Energy

Like seriously….what does this man eat for breakfast?
