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!!
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!!

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:
Can’t believe Elon decided to compete with OpenAI just two years ago - and now he’s ahead, crushing it, and fighting to be 1 in the AI game.
xAI trained their new model on 200,000 GPUs. For context, that's more processing power than existed on Earth in 2015.
Grok 4 dropped yesterday. It can solve differential equations, write production code, and explain why your teenager is mad at you. The benchmarks say it's better than everything else at everything.
I want to own a FARM.
Not a metaphor. A real one. Chickens. Goats. Fresh pies. Stars at night. A life far from the city.
Last weekend, a few of us decided to get away from the AI rat race. With everything moving so fast - agents, models, startups, fundings - we just needed to pause. To breathe. To think.
So we packed up, drove out, and landed on a quiet 27 acres farm - $489 for two nights split between us. No notifications. No launches. No dashboards. Just open skies, campfires, and silence.
TikTok used Instagram to grow….and now it’s bigger than Instagram.
Back in the day, TikTok ran a hell lot of ads on Instagram to attract users.
They may have spent around $150M–$300M advertising on Instagram alone during that initial scale-up phase (2018–2020).
Instagram thought, "Let them spend, our users won't leave." But TikTok's strategy worked. Now, TikTok boasts over 1 billion monthly active users, while Instagram has around 2 billion.
Stack Overflow didn’t just get disrupted. It got deleted.
In 2020, it was the dev world's go-to.
By 2025? It's a ghost town.
Daily questions: from 8,000 to 3,200 - a 60% drop.
Monthly visitors: down 52%, from 100M to 48M.
Average response time: went up from 26 minutes to 2.4 hours.
Answer acceptance rate: plummeted from 65% to 38%.
No downvotes. No passive-aggressive replies.
Just answers. Instantly. In your context.
Stack Overflow was built for a different era.
New York City has launched a congestion pricing toll system.
They're launching a $15 congestion charge to drive into downtown Manhattan during peak hours.
Cameras + E-ZPass = automatic toll.
This will result in: Less traffic. Cleaner air. More funding for subways and buses.
This isn’t a wild experiment.
It’s a playbook already working in:
London
Singapore
Stockholm
Milan
Oslo
Gothenburg
These cities saw smoother roads, better air, and public transit that actually works.
