![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>

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 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.
As is the norm for every child brought up in religion, I used to consider myself special believing that I had a “personal relationship” with God....</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. 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>

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>

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>

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>

World history in a nutshell More than 1100 pages, this behemoth of a book still fails to capture the whole essence of world history - and rightly so. How can you combine over 2000 years of human history and still do justice to every element? But the unique manner in which this book - or more appropriately, collection of letters - has been written, it shines brightly amongst the plethora of history books you can find on this vast subject of world history....</p>

Reasons you should read this book:
If youve ever had a panic attack. If youve ever counted the number of times the ceiling fan rotates, just so you could avoid dealing with the endless voices in your head. If youve ever felt ashamed to admit that you might be suffering from the D-word. If reading about personal stories of how people overcame their mental illnesses soothes you....</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....</p>

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>

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>

The School of Life - a massively popular YouTube channel - used to be this source of solace in some turbulent times of my college life. It is not something that youd think would be cheerful and uplifting - a quick glance at some of the most popular videos of the channel would include titles such as “Why we go cold on our partners”, “Why you will marry the wrong person” etc....</p>

<p>Verdict: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Check it out on Letterboxd
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.
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>

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>

There are films which you wish you had watched earlier in life, and there are others which dont make sense until you have had your fair share of world experiences. Waking Life falls in the former category.
The college sophomore me would have been really excited about discussing vague notions of self and freedom and free will and morality and dreams - and dont get me wrong, mid-twenties me is equally as excited about these things as my former self, if not more so - but the problem lies in the superficiality of it all....</p>

Anhedonia. The Wikipedia entry for this word says:
a diverse array of deficits in hedonic function, including reduced motivation or ability to experience pleasure.
At one point or another, we have all experienced some version of this phenomenon - may be characterized by an oversaturation of love, or caused by a prolonged mediocrity in life, or as in the case of our protagonist here, the complete loss of will and motivation to feel anything....</p>

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 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.
As is the norm for every child brought up in religion, I used to consider myself special believing that I had a “personal relationship” with God....</p>

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.
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>

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>

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>

There are films which you wish you had watched earlier in life, and there are others which dont make sense until you have had your fair share of world experiences. Waking Life falls in the former category.
The college sophomore me would have been really excited about discussing vague notions of self and freedom and free will and morality and dreams - and dont get me wrong, mid-twenties me is equally as excited about these things as my former self, if not more so - but the problem lies in the superficiality of it all....</p>

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>

Anhedonia. The Wikipedia entry for this word says:
a diverse array of deficits in hedonic function, including reduced motivation or ability to experience pleasure.
At one point or another, we have all experienced some version of this phenomenon - may be characterized by an oversaturation of love, or caused by a prolonged mediocrity in life, or as in the case of our protagonist here, the complete loss of will and motivation to feel anything....</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. 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>

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>

World history in a nutshell More than 1100 pages, this behemoth of a book still fails to capture the whole essence of world history - and rightly so. How can you combine over 2000 years of human history and still do justice to every element? But the unique manner in which this book - or more appropriately, collection of letters - has been written, it shines brightly amongst the plethora of history books you can find on this vast subject of world history....</p>

Reasons you should read this book:
If youve ever had a panic attack. If youve ever counted the number of times the ceiling fan rotates, just so you could avoid dealing with the endless voices in your head. If youve ever felt ashamed to admit that you might be suffering from the D-word. If reading about personal stories of how people overcame their mental illnesses soothes you....</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....</p>

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>

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>

<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 you&rsquo;ve been accustomed to till date. What you get is a completely different take on the trope.</p>
<p>The cinematography seems out of this world, and the melancholic doctor only adds to the moodiness of the whole atmosphere. One little scene in the middle will remain in my heart for a long time.</p>

<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>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>

<p>Having said that, since I put Linklater on a pedestal, this by no means make it an average film. The visuals are cool, the animations are innovative and the ideas discussed, no matter how superficial, ultimately make you think and mull them over afterwards. That is more than what any filmmaker can aspire for and in the end, makes this a watch worthwhile for me.</p>

The way Ceylan deals with landscapes and how people co-exist with nature is simply breathtaking. Alas, I neither have the vocabulary nor the expertise to appreciate much less dissect a film like this, but let these screenings be my own private film school and I hope that at the end of this year (which I&rsquo;ve dedicated to watching foreign language films only), I would at least be in a position where I can better appreciate these masters of their crafts.</p>

attackiong when you least expect it to. One moment you&rsquo;re enjoying the weather, basking in the glory of some happy thought, maybe
remembering that on thing that your partner did for you - and suddenly from this wave of happy and positive emotions, a tiny
splash comes towards you - the splash of doubt. Was your colleague being sarcastic when he was praising your work?</p>

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 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.
As is the norm for every child brought up in religion, I used to consider myself special believing that I had a “personal relationship” with God....</p>

<p>Verdict: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Check it out on Letterboxd
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.
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>

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>

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>

There are films which you wish you had watched earlier in life, and there are others which dont make sense until you have had your fair share of world experiences. Waking Life falls in the former category.
The college sophomore me would have been really excited about discussing vague notions of self and freedom and free will and morality and dreams - and dont get me wrong, mid-twenties me is equally as excited about these things as my former self, if not more so - but the problem lies in the superficiality of it all....</p>

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>

Anhedonia. The Wikipedia entry for this word says:
a diverse array of deficits in hedonic function, including reduced motivation or ability to experience pleasure.
At one point or another, we have all experienced some version of this phenomenon - may be characterized by an oversaturation of love, or caused by a prolonged mediocrity in life, or as in the case of our protagonist here, the complete loss of will and motivation to feel anything....</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. 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>

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>

World history in a nutshell More than 1100 pages, this behemoth of a book still fails to capture the whole essence of world history - and rightly so. How can you combine over 2000 years of human history and still do justice to every element? But the unique manner in which this book - or more appropriately, collection of letters - has been written, it shines brightly amongst the plethora of history books you can find on this vast subject of world history....</p>

Reasons you should read this book:
If youve ever had a panic attack. If youve ever counted the number of times the ceiling fan rotates, just so you could avoid dealing with the endless voices in your head. If youve ever felt ashamed to admit that you might be suffering from the D-word. If reading about personal stories of how people overcame their mental illnesses soothes you....</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....</p>

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>

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>

The School of Life - a massively popular YouTube channel - used to be this source of solace in some turbulent times of my college life. It is not something that youd think would be cheerful and uplifting - a quick glance at some of the most popular videos of the channel would include titles such as “Why we go cold on our partners”, “Why you will marry the wrong person” etc....</p>

<p>More than 1100 pages, this behemoth of a book still fails to capture the whole essence of world history - and rightly so. How can you combine over 2000 years of human history and still do justice to every element? But the unique manner in which this book - or more appropriately, collection of letters - has been written, it shines brightly amongst the plethora of history books you can find on this vast subject of world history.</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. 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>This was the wonderful genre of concert music.</p>

<p>I had picked up this one thinking it to be an autobiography, and with an expectation that it&rsquo;ll cover Rajan&rsquo;s 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 you&rsquo;re looking for a good explanatory work in the field of Economics (and especially those concerning India and its policies), you&rsquo;ll enjoy this.</p>

<p>One of the principal joys of reading is to discover the magic hidden in the seemingly banal things in life. I would&rsquo;ve never cared to think twice about the intricacies of designing buildings and urban spaces, had it not been for this book. This serves as a gentle introduction to the fascinating study of how subtle differences in design of public spaces affect interactions on a much more broader scale.</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>Probably should have let the blogs say it all.</p>

<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. Over the years, I&rsquo;ve realized that reading good literature is therapeutic for me - not to be used as an afterthought but essential to keep me functional.</p>
<p>Stoner was another great session in my therapy.</p>

<p>The School of Life - a massively popular YouTube channel - used to be this source of solace in some turbulent times of my college life.
It is not something that you&rsquo;d think would be cheerful and uplifting - a quick glance at some of the most popular videos of the channel would include titles such as <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRaaqN2Atxw">&ldquo;Why we go cold on our partners&rdquo;</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuKV2DI9-Jg">&ldquo;Why you will marry the wrong person&rdquo;</a> etc.

<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>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. From all the ideas out there, <strong>Existentialism</strong> was something that drew me in the most.</p>
<p>By no means, I&rsquo;m an expert in any of these matters, and neither do I have any authority to comment on them. This is just an excited rant of a newbie fanboy who just discovered his favorite toy. So please, <em>Reader Discretion is Advised!</em></p>

<p>Recently when my mom got a new phone, I wanted to remove some system applications from the phone which are bloatware. Now doing this with a laptop is fairly easy, we can just use adb to uninstall, however the task becomes difficult if you cannot use a PC.
Found a way to do this via Shizuku &#43; Hail:
Install Shizuku Starting with android 11, you can use ADB on the device without using a PC....</p>

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>

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>

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....</p>

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>
