![PM Cover](/images/proficient.jpg#center "PM Cover")
I have been riding motorcycles for past 7 years. I've had so many crashes in the early days that people were afraid of sitting as a pillion on my bike. Slowly I started internalizing few things and gradually the accidents stopped. This is a typical journey of how you learn any skill. However, it becomes a problem if you never give yourself a chance to see your skills from first principles and examine bad patterns that you might have internalized.
Reading this book was a refreshing reminder to examine how I ride a motorcycle.
This didn't teach me anything extraordinary, but it explained so many things that I had, just sort of, accepted as given. Like how tyre pressure affects a bike's traction, why counter-steering works, why front brakes are much more powerful (and should be used more frequently) than rear brakes, and on and on.
Pick up this book if you'd like to improve, and understand, how you ride.

Now that Ive moved away from reading fiction, I find that I face a lot of inertia to pick up something purely for pleasure. Maybe this is a nasty by-product of wanting to be as “productive” as possible. But the more I have drifted away from reading for pleasure, more mechanical the whole process has become for me. Partly to avoid this feeling, and partly because of my shame at seeing my bookshelf filled with dusty unread books, I picked up this one to assuage my feelings of guilt....</p> Now that Ive moved away from reading fiction, I find that I face a lot of inertia to pick up something purely for pleasure.

Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
I have no affinity for running, even for short jogs, and much less for wanting to run long distances. Although this is not because I hate exercises - one of those rare things that I figured out early in life was my desire to remain healthy as long as possible and that of course means I need to keep myself fit - but probably my distaste for running stems from the monotonous nature of the activity....</p> I have no affinity for running, even for short jogs, and much less for wanting to run long distances.

I find India really fascinating sometimes, even though Ive lived my whole life here. What the cultural multitudes and colorful festivals hide underneath is an ugly facade which threatens to break everything that has been built over the years. What I find most fascinating is how weve conditioned ourselves to ignore the blatant reality and move ahead with an oblivious calm, living in shit and aspiring for the gold....</p>

I find India really fascinating sometimes, even though Ive lived my whole life here. What the cultural multitudes and colorful festivals hide underneath is an ugly facade which threatens to break everything that has been built over the years. What I find most fascinating is how weve conditioned ourselves to ignore the blatant reality and move ahead with an oblivious calm, living in shit and aspiring for the gold....</p>

I have had a very curious relationship with religion, although now that I talk to others, it was a much more normal experience than what I led myself to believe. I followed the typical path of receiving a particular religion from my parents (born a “Hindu child”), which had a supporting role in my life up until my late-teenage/early-adolescent years.

I had picked up this one thinking it to be an autobiography, and with an expectation that itll cover Rajans tussles with the government in more details. I was pleasantly surprised to find instead a good collection of technical essays covering the workings of RBI, and economics in general.

Reading fiction has always been a double-edged sword for me. Some of the most intimate moments Ive spent alone is while reading fictional stories, while at the same time, feeling a pang of disappointment for myself because I wasnt doing anything “productive.” Is this mere entertainment? Am I just escaping my real-life responsibilities and reading stories of make-believe? While I still havent found sincere answers to these questions, Ive grown more confident of what I enjoy and what I dont, which has consequently helped me find peace with this conflict....</p> Reading fiction has always been a double-edged sword for me.

How to fool the world and become a Billionaire I remember hearing about Elizabeth Holmes when I was in my late teens, at that impressionable age when you get hyper-inspired by reading about icons that are going to change the world.

A disappointing jumble of thoughts Disappointed. A disappointing jumble of thoughts Disappointed.
I am an atheist interested in the power of mindfulness and the whole world of so-called spirituality, so naturally, I am the ideal audience that Sam Harris is looking for. But it disappointed in almost every domain that I had expectations in. Using deep-sounding difficult words and wrapping them in an almost mythical aura of “Consciousness”, this one was a huge letdown....</p> I am an atheist interested in the power of mindfulness and the whole world of so-called spirituality, so naturally, I am the ideal audience that Sam Harris is looking for.

Main takeaway? Other than the central idea around which the book revolves (and succinctly mentioned as the book subtitle too), the idea of interleaving is what struck me the most. I had already read about this particular method in Michael Nielsens brilliant post on Anki (“Augmenting Long-term Memory”) and it was interesting to read about it formally in the book....</p> Main takeaway?

Over the years, I have increasingly gravitated towards films where supposedly “nothing happens”. Characters talk, no attempt is made to instill a moral point into the minds of the audience, which is usually accompanied with long, patient shots of people existing in their environments.

I had watched Once Upon a Time in Anatolia from the same director previously and much like films by Wes Anderson, I could immediately tell this was Ceylans film right from the start, although these two directors could not be any more different....</p> I had watched Once Upon a Time in Anatolia from the same director previously and much like films by Wes Anderson, I could immediately tell this was Ceylans film right from the start, although these two directors could not be any more different....</p>

A slow, methodical display of patience and absurdity juxtaposed on the vast landscape, this film has something else going for it.

Now that Ive moved away from reading fiction, I find that I face a lot of inertia to pick up something purely for pleasure. Maybe this is a nasty by-product of wanting to be as “productive” as possible. But the more I have drifted away from reading for pleasure, more mechanical the whole process has become for me.

Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
I have no affinity for running, even for short jogs, and much less for wanting to run long distances. Although this is not because I hate exercises - one of those rare things that I figured out early in life was my desire to remain healthy as long as possible and that of course means I need to keep myself fit - but probably my distaste for running stems from the monotonous nature of the activity....</p> I have no affinity for running, even for short jogs, and much less for wanting to run long distances.

I find India really fascinating sometimes, even though Ive lived my whole life here. What the cultural multitudes and colorful festivals hide underneath is an ugly facade which threatens to break everything that has been built over the years. What I find most fascinating is how weve conditioned ourselves to ignore the blatant reality and move ahead with an oblivious calm, living in shit and aspiring for the gold....</p> I find India really fascinating sometimes, even though Ive lived my whole life here.

I have had a very curious relationship with religion, although now that I talk to others, it was a much more normal experience than what I led myself to believe. I followed the typical path of receiving a particular religion from my parents (born a “Hindu child”), which had a supporting role in my life up until my late-teenage/early-adolescent years.

Over the years, I have increasingly gravitated towards films where supposedly “nothing happens”. Characters talk, no attempt is made to instill a moral point into the minds of the audience, which is usually accompanied with long, patient shots of people existing in their environments. This was an excellent specimen of the same dish. Over the years, I have increasingly gravitated towards films where supposedly “nothing happens”.

I had watched Once Upon a Time in Anatolia from the same director previously and much like films by Wes Anderson, I could immediately tell this was Ceylans film right from the start, although these two directors could not be any more different....</p> I had watched Once Upon a Time in Anatolia from the same director previously and much like films by Wes Anderson, I could immediately tell this was Ceylans film right from the start, although these two directors could not be any more different....</p>

A slow, methodical display of patience and absurdity juxtaposed on the vast landscape, this film has something else going for it. When you read the synopsis or look at the posters, you expect a certain police procedural drama - the kind of which youve been accustomed to till date.

Motorcycling community is laden with fist-pumping-muscle-bulging-neckbeardy-speed-ninjas-Harley-fans, and it usually gets a bad rap all across the world. Gaurav Jani is none of these things. His passion and humility and curious nature reminded me why I loved biking in the first place. This is a must-watch for anyone fascinated with two wheels and the places they enable you to visit.</p> Motorcycling community is laden with fist-pumping-muscle-bulging-neckbeardy-speed-ninjas-Harley-fans, and it usually gets a bad rap all across the world.

I had picked up this one thinking it to be an autobiography, and with an expectation that itll cover Rajans tussles with the government in more details. I was pleasantly surprised to find instead a good collection of technical essays covering the workings of RBI, and economics in general.

Reading fiction has always been a double-edged sword for me. Some of the most intimate moments Ive spent alone is while reading fictional stories, while at the same time, feeling a pang of disappointment for myself because I wasnt doing anything “productive.” Is this mere entertainment? Am I just escaping my real-life responsibilities and reading stories of make-believe? While I still havent found sincere answers to these questions, Ive grown more confident of what I enjoy and what I dont, which has consequently helped me find peace with this conflict....</p> Reading fiction has always been a double-edged sword for me.

How to fool the world and become a Billionaire I remember hearing about Elizabeth Holmes when I was in my late teens, at that impressionable age when you get hyper-inspired by reading about icons that are going to change the world.

A disappointing jumble of thoughts Disappointed. A disappointing jumble of thoughts Disappointed.
I am an atheist interested in the power of mindfulness and the whole world of so-called spirituality, so naturally, I am the ideal audience that Sam Harris is looking for. But it disappointed in almost every domain that I had expectations in. Using deep-sounding difficult words and wrapping them in an almost mythical aura of “Consciousness”, this one was a huge letdown....</p> I am an atheist interested in the power of mindfulness and the whole world of so-called spirituality, so naturally, I am the ideal audience that Sam Harris is looking for.

Despite this lifelong love affair with music of all kinds, there was one particular genre of music that always baffled me.

There are few books which leave you in a mesmerizing state after having read them. You ponder about it for days to come, want to scream your head off about it to anyone whod listen, and then dwell in this fear of picking up another book because how can something else ever come close to being this perfect! I have felt this way before - first when Id finished The Complete Sherlock Holmes, later when I was left in a daze for multiple days after finishing the notorious and brilliant House of Leaves, and much more recently when I was unable to sleep after reading Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker....</p> There are few books which leave you in a mesmerizing state after having read them.

<p>You can spot Wes Anderson trademark from a mile ago, although this is the only movie by him which left me dissatisfied. The unique and swift camera movements are still there, the colors still pop out like from another universe, the absurd comic timings still bring a smile to your face - but you won&rsquo;t feel the kind of personal emotional investment into the characters like you would in the rest of his filmography. Still, for a Wes Anderson fan, this would be a nice enough movie.</p> <p>You can spot Wes Anderson trademark from a mile ago, although this is the only movie by him which left me dissatisfied.

Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
I have no affinity for running, even for short jogs, and much less for wanting to run long distances. Although this is not because I hate exercises - one of those rare things that I figured out early in life was my desire to remain healthy as long as possible and that of course means I need to keep myself fit - but probably my distaste for running stems from the monotonous nature of the activity....</p> I have no affinity for running, even for short jogs, and much less for wanting to run long distances.

What the cultural multitudes and colorful festivals hide underneath is an ugly facade which threatens to break everything that has been built over the years.

I have had a very curious relationship with religion, although now that I talk to others, it was a much more normal experience than what I led myself to believe. I followed the typical path of receiving a particular religion from my parents (born a “Hindu child”), which had a supporting role in my life up until my late-teenage/early-adolescent years.

Over the years, I have increasingly gravitated towards films where supposedly “nothing happens”. Characters talk, no attempt is made to instill a moral point into the minds of the audience, which is usually accompanied with long, patient shots of people existing in their environments. This was an excellent specimen of the same dish. Over the years, I have increasingly gravitated towards films where supposedly “nothing happens”.

I had watched Once Upon a Time in Anatolia from the same director previously and much like films by Wes Anderson, I could immediately tell this was Ceylans film right from the start, although these two directors could not be any more different....</p> I had watched Once Upon a Time in Anatolia from the same director previously and much like films by Wes Anderson, I could immediately tell this was Ceylans film right from the start, although these two directors could not be any more different....</p>

A slow, methodical display of patience and absurdity juxtaposed on the vast landscape, this film has something else going for it. When you read the synopsis or look at the posters, you expect a certain police procedural drama - the kind of which youve been accustomed to till date. What you get is a completely different take on the trope....</p> A slow, methodical display of patience and absurdity juxtaposed on the vast landscape, this film has something else going for it.

Motorcycling community is laden with fist-pumping-muscle-bulging-neckbeardy-speed-ninjas-Harley-fans, and it usually gets a bad rap all across the world. Gaurav Jani is none of these things. His passion and humility and curious nature reminded me why I loved biking in the first place. This is a must-watch for anyone fascinated with two wheels and the places they enable you to visit.</p> Motorcycling community is laden with fist-pumping-muscle-bulging-neckbeardy-speed-ninjas-Harley-fans, and it usually gets a bad rap all across the world.

I had picked up this one thinking it to be an autobiography, and with an expectation that itll cover Rajans tussles with the government in more details. I was pleasantly surprised to find instead a good collection of technical essays covering the workings of RBI, and economics in general. If youre looking for a good explanatory work in the field of Economics (and especially those concerning India and its policies), youll enjoy this....</p> I had picked up this one thinking it to be an autobiography, and with an expectation that itll cover Rajans tussles with the government in more details.

Reading fiction has always been a double-edged sword for me. Some of the most intimate moments Ive spent alone is while reading fictional stories, while at the same time, feeling a pang of disappointment for myself because I wasnt doing anything “productive.” Is this mere entertainment? Am I just escaping my real-life responsibilities and reading stories of make-believe? While I still havent found sincere answers to these questions, Ive grown more confident of what I enjoy and what I dont, which has consequently helped me find peace with this conflict....</p> Reading fiction has always been a double-edged sword for me.

How to fool the world and become a Billionaire I remember hearing about Elizabeth Holmes when I was in my late teens, at that impressionable age when you get hyper-inspired by reading about icons that are going to change the world. There was a profile of her in Wired, with an eye-catching image of her wearing a turtleneck black sweater holding what looked like a test-tube with a tiny amount of blood with a science-y background....</p> How to fool the world and become a Billionaire I remember hearing about Elizabeth Holmes when I was in my late teens, at that impressionable age when you get hyper-inspired by reading about icons that are going to change the world.

A disappointing jumble of thoughts Disappointed. A disappointing jumble of thoughts Disappointed.
I am an atheist interested in the power of mindfulness and the whole world of so-called spirituality, so naturally, I am the ideal audience that Sam Harris is looking for. But it disappointed in almost every domain that I had expectations in. Using deep-sounding difficult words and wrapping them in an almost mythical aura of “Consciousness”, this one was a huge letdown....</p> I am an atheist interested in the power of mindfulness and the whole world of so-called spirituality, so naturally, I am the ideal audience that Sam Harris is looking for.

Despite this lifelong love affair with music of all kinds, there was one particular genre of music that always baffled me.

There are few books which leave you in a mesmerizing state after having read them. You ponder about it for days to come, want to scream your head off about it to anyone whod listen, and then dwell in this fear of picking up another book because how can something else ever come close to being this perfect! I have felt this way before - first when Id finished The Complete Sherlock Holmes, later when I was left in a daze for multiple days after finishing the notorious and brilliant House of Leaves, and much more recently when I was unable to sleep after reading Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker....</p> There are few books which leave you in a mesmerizing state after having read them.

Started with a tightly-knit structure, but faltered at the end. The last few chapters were a slog to get through - mostly because of numerous “business-class” style case studies.

Main takeaway? Other than the central idea around which the book revolves (and succinctly mentioned as the book subtitle too), the idea of interleaving is what struck me the most. I had already read about this particular method in Michael Nielsens brilliant post on Anki (“Augmenting Long-term Memory”) and it was interesting to read about it formally in the book....</p> Main takeaway?

<p>I have been a lover of music since my early childhood - runs in the family - and have imitated and performed songs (mostly inside my own head) on numerous occasions. Despite this lifelong love affair with music of all kinds, there was one particular genre of music that always baffled me. Mostly because of my own ignorance, but partially also because nobody else was talking about it. Nobody else in my own vicinity that is. It didn&rsquo;t play on the radio, you won&rsquo;t hear it playing on any of the countless music channels and certainly, nobody was going on tours giving live performances.</p> <p>I have been a lover of music since my early childhood - runs in the family - and have imitated and performed songs (mostly inside my own head) on numerous occasions.

"articleBody": "Started on: July 12th, 2024\nFinished on: Aug 29th, 2024\nTime to read: 9 hours, 9 minutes\nAlso published on Goodreads\nI have been riding motorcycles for past 7 years. Ive had so many crashes in the early days that people were afraid of sitting as a pillion on my bike. Slowly I started internalizing few things and gradually the accidents stopped. This is a typical journey of how you learn any skill. However, it becomes a problem if you never give yourself a chance to see your skills from first principles and examine bad patterns that you might have internalized.\nReading this book was a refreshing reminder to examine how I ride a motorcycle.\nThis didnt teach me anything extraordinary, but it explained so many things that I had, just sort of, accepted as given. Like how tyre pressure affects a bikes traction, why counter-steering works, why front brakes are much more powerful (and should be used more frequently) than rear brakes, and on and on.\nPick up this book if youd like to improve, and understand, how you ride.\n",

<p>I have been riding motorcycles for past 7 years. I&rsquo;ve had so many crashes in the early days that people were afraid of sitting as a pillion on my bike. Slowly I started internalizing few things and gradually the accidents stopped. This is a typical journey of how you learn any skill. However, it becomes a problem if you never give yourself a chance to see your skills from first principles and examine bad patterns that you might have internalized.</p>
<p>Reading this book was a refreshing reminder to examine how I ride a motorcycle.</p>
<p>This didn&rsquo;t teach me anything extraordinary, but it explained so many things that I had, just sort of, accepted as given. Like how tyre pressure affects a bike&rsquo;s traction, why counter-steering works, why front brakes are much more powerful (and should be used more frequently) than rear brakes, and on and on.</p>
<p>Pick up this book if you&rsquo;d like to improve, and understand, how you ride.</p>

<p>This book falls into the category of books that I like to call &ldquo;Fast-food books&rdquo;. They won&rsquo;t necessarily make you healthier or your mind sounder, but it&rsquo;ll feel really good while you&rsquo;re eating them. There&rsquo;s only so many anecdotes you can digest. The most common criticism that people have with these kind of books are that they could&rsquo;ve been summarized in a much shorter format - probably a blog post or two. The same applies here - only the irony is that it is BECAUSE of those blog posts and the reaction it generated that prompted the author to write a whole book about it.</p> <p>This book falls into the category of books that I like to call &ldquo;Fast-food books&rdquo;.

<p>Reading fiction has always been a double-edged sword for me. Some of the most intimate moments I&rsquo;ve spent alone is while reading fictional stories, while at the same time, feeling a pang of disappointment for myself because I wasn&rsquo;t doing anything &ldquo;productive.&rdquo; Is this mere entertainment? Am I just escaping my real-life responsibilities and reading stories of make-believe? While I still haven&rsquo;t found sincere answers to these questions, I&rsquo;ve grown more confident of what I enjoy and what I don&rsquo;t, which has consequently helped me find peace with this conflict.

<p>Philosophy has always been one of those baffling things that entice you at first by its simplicity, but as you get sucked into it more and more, you find yourself searching for the end of this labyrinthine landscape. I had my first exposure to anything related to philosophy in my second year of college when I stumbled upon <strong>The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand</strong>. At the time, it was one of the fascinating books I had ever read. I distinctly remember sitting down with the book at 9 PM having had my dinner, and as the custom goes, was looking forward to reading anything that could distract me from the mountain load of coursework that I had to finish for the upcoming semester exams. I became so engrossed in the story that when I finished the book and went outside to take in a fresh breath of air - I was startled to discover that the sunlight was already shining throughout the corridor - it was 7 o&rsquo;clock in the morning!</p> <p>Philosophy has always been one of those baffling things that entice you at first by its simplicity, but as you get sucked into it more and more, you find yourself searching for the end of this labyrinthine landscape.

<p>However, aside from a couple of books here and there, I was pretty ignorant about the whole field of philosophy . It was not until my last year of college when my then-girlfriend introduced me to different sub-fields of philosophy, and consequently, the names like <em>Albert Camus</em>, <em>Bertrand Russell</em>, and <em>Friedrich Nietzsche</em> and their ideas started sounding familiar.

I have no affinity for running, even for short jogs, and much less for wanting to run long distances.
