Most techies in Bangalore are pretty lonely. Away from family, no real friends, stuck in traffic, high rents, children not getting good values, peers into status games, cringe tech meet-ups, shoves body with coffee & alcohol, hair-loss, tummies popping out & pays highest taxes.

A friend with around 20k pm income & coming from a humble background being the sole breadwinner has just purchased an iPhone 13 on EMI despite me explaining against the purchase for 1 whole month.
People don’t understand finance at all.

Indian tech diaspora is spineless when it comes to have a public opinion on religion, politics & policies.
Nobody wants to criticise or take sides for the fear of being pushed out from the comfy circles they’re part of.

You don't need to pollute your body with alcohol shots & smoke puffs to 'have fun' at a party.
Never give in, keep holding your ground. The society wants you intoxicated, they can't handle you sober.

My whole career sits on top of C/C++ , OS, Networking concepts.
Whoever says our college curriculum is bad hasn’t either studied anything or hasn’t worked on core engineering roles where these concepts are heavily used in everything you do.
people who say "This is not used in industry", have not seen the industry enough.
More often than not, these people have not seen a world beyond web development. Not their fault, but I believe they really should.
Today, so many new databases, engines, and language runtimes are getting re-conceptualized with some unique insight, and the majority of them are written in C and C++.
It is now a known pattern, that when you need to push the limits, you gravitate towards the foundational languages like C and C++.
ps: Redis and Python are two of the most widely used in the "industry" and both of them are written in C.

If IITs are that good, why don’t they make more of them?
A country of 140 Crore people and a mere 17k seats in IITs. And out of those, roughly 6.5k are open seats. Even if we add Gen-EWS, the number come to 8000.
IITs need to have atleast 50k open seat mark to stay relevant.

Me & Tanya applied to around 100 plus startups & got replies from 5-6 of them & we were still of the opinion that we didn’t applied enough. Important thing is market was closed back then & layoff spree was high.
One should prepare like a Monk & apply like a Madman.

I wrote this for folks beyond mid Thirties who are locked in the system & very hard to get out even if they want to. Golden cuffs.

The fact that me & @tanyarajhans7 passed through the very same route around 30 minutes prior to this unfortunate accident. Water was already around 3-4ft deep when we left, and it had rained only for a short while.
Bengaluru infra is an absolute shit show.
22-year-old woman died and her five relatives were rescued from MPV, and two auto-rickshaws got stuck in flooded K R Circle underpass. Fire force rescue team seen rescuing people from vehicles stuck in the underpass which was flooded after rain in #Bangaluru on Sunday.

For my fellow Engineers:
If you like to read books, try reading Standard Engineering books.
Here are some of the books which made my brain go mad sometimes but totally worth the knowledge & self esteem boost they provided.

Rajeev Motwani is an absolute GOAT in his contributions to the tech diaspora.
For those who think you know algorithms, I’d suggest reading ‘Randomised Algorithms’ by Rajeev Motwani. It will extract the last working cell of your brain. There’s a reason why math bg helps in tech.
Left: Google Founders
Right: Their mentor - Professor Rajeev Motwani
Professor Motwani (IITK CS) mentored Larry & Sergey grad students at Stanford & helped form Google (+co-authored PageRank)
He died in 2009
He mentored many other startups
It's important to remember him

I am a Modi supporter but couldn’t be more happy with the results. BJP got the much needed belting.
Can’t keep winning elections on Modi face. Can’t keep stressing the middle class under tax burden.
Hoping better for 2029 but this was much needed introspection.

If you’re ever in this situation, don’t be like this guy. Record for a few seconds to get proof, press the damn accelerator & hit these assailants if need be but protect your family.
Don’t be a helpless coward, nobody’s ever going to help you.
A odiya family in a Car was attacked by a thug in Bengaluru. He had an infant & a young child in the car during the time of attack.

If i had to do engineering today, I’d go for Electronics & not Computer Science.
CS degree isn’t even necessary & one can learn everything on the side. EC discipline with the code pedigree is the absolute goated combination given today’s context of AI.

You need to get out of the “but there aren’t enough jobs in the market so i’ll rather not study”.
More accessibility to world class education comes with more innovation, entrepreneurship, research & a lot more.

Yesterday i completed my 30 day challenge for waking up early at 4am followed by meditation, book reading, exercise & eating right.
Although it's nothing big, but I'm so happy & proud that i did this 🥳.
Did my life change already? No
But am i willing for it now? Yes
I've been underperforming for past several months now due to some unfortunate events in the past year. It has affected my work and the learning cycle.
It's time to bring in some changes.

There’s literally no such thing as being behind in life. There’s only where you are and the path you’re creating for self.
To be behind means walking behind someone walking the same path as you & absolutely nobody is walking the same path as you.
