Just finished work. Picked up a new book - The Power by Rhonda Byrne.

Here’s what’s happening in my life right now:

I joined a startup. I’m working with a bunch of crazy, cracked people who are just curious and love building things. There’s a saying: "If you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room." Well, these people? Insane. Every day, I’m learning how business works, how companies grow, and how tech fuels a startup. One day, we log out at 7 PM the next, we’re pulling an all nighter to ship features.

I’ve also been diving into psychology and human behaviour (shoutout to Paras Chopra’s blogs—100% recommended). I read something that stuck with me:Your identity is being crafted and you don’t even realise it. It’s shaped by the people around you, your thoughts, and what you consume . Once you start sitting with people who want the best for themselves, and you’ll start wanting and becoming your best self too.

Oh, and my newsletter? Kaam chalu hai. It’ll be out soon.

Late-Night AI Ramblings

I’ve been obsessing over AI reading papers, watching videos,coding stuff , falling into rabbit holes .Two questions won’t leave me alone:

• How do you control something smarter than you?Humans and AI have an alignment problem.

• Can AI ever mimic human survival instincts?

"Buy a Domain"

I was reading Show Your Work by Austin Kleon when one line jumped out "Buy a domain."

This isn't about making another social media profile. It's about Having your own patch of digital land Where you can post your art, your writing, your weird thoughts - no algorithms judging, no character limits cutting you off.

It got me thinking how much of myself am I leaving scattered across platforms I don't control? My tweets, my half finished threads, the art I only post to Instagram,So I did it. Bought my name before someone else could. Set up a single page that says who i am , what i make and how to find me .

no fancy design just a home base for my digital self .

And here is the crazy part , now when i make something , i ask “is this worthy of my own site ?“ this simple question has upgraded everything .

Evening hits and I’m there sitting by myself, thinking what am I doing ?

There are things to be taken care of. Why am I lost in my phone screen again. I’ve been so much in motion, I was left confused when I was still.

Instantly, because of this innate bottomless pit of ambition, I went on to find solutions.

It started off with :

• How can I make money more efficiently?

• Why do agency clients have these issues? How do I solve them?

And that led to me comparing myself to people around me:

• why are they making more money than i am ?

• I have all these issues , they must not have them .

So I went the usual route. Cleaned up the space a bit. Got the whiteboard this time, cleaned that and started writing.

Just that one 30 min session got my headspace right again.
