01 / TECHNOLOGY
500+ posts written over 22 years. Does it matter?
The Internet isn't short of information. Neither is your AI assistant.
But sometimes you don't want another answer. You want to know: "What does he make of this?"
That's a different question. It comes with history, shared context, and some sense of the person whose opinion you're asking for.
So I've made 22 years of my writing - 500+ posts on books, perfumes, health, tech, and assorted preoccupations - available to your AI assistant with a few clicks.
Not another search engine. A familiar perspective you can invite into the conversation.
It won't know you the way I do. But it can bring what I've written to the context you give it.
Think of it as asking me, without waiting for me to finish explaining something else.
Just take the URL below and set it up in your favorite AI assistant - ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Kiro, or whatever else.
02 / MUSIC
Somewhere
inside a raga.
I can go from jazz to carnatic, qawwal to maqam to namasankeerthanam, Ilayaraja to SD Burman effortllessly. I am open-minded and secular about my music. But the inexplicable returning point - the samam - of my music is raga based music.
03 / OUTDOORS
Get busy living
Lest you get busy dying.
Being healthy, being fit, being functionally free is a state of consciousness, awareness, and love for yourself.
I spent too many years in the darkness of knowledge, but turned everything around in 2024. I have far too many opinions on this topic - fortunately, most of them are grounded in science and data. Ask me a question on health from your AI assistant.
04 / FRAGRANCE
Memory,
bottled.
I got into the hobby of learning about perfumes, perfumers, the science, and the art of perfumery - the side feature of this being that I have accumulated far too many perfumes. Have lots of opinions - about the industry, about perfumers, perfumes, perfume houses, perfume reviewers and so on. Ask me a question on perfumes from your AI assistant.
05 / SHOWCASE
Showcase
06 / EVERYTHING ELSE
Wait. Is that it?
In the last several years, my own observed pattern of learning is what I would like to call Mandala. You take on a topic, give it your all, go deep into it, get to a place you want to get to, and move on to the next topic. Some of these interests stay with you for longer, and some of them just go away.
In addition to tech, music, health, and perfumes, I also write on topics like people, behaviors, economics, finance etc.
