About
I am a software engineer by profession and an intentional introvert by nature. I strongly believe, based on observation and proof, that there are no permanent villains or heroes in society. It is mostly a vicious cycle. And it is that cycle we need to break, rather than constantly fighting individuals.
I read extensively. Mostly history, law, true events, autobiographies, and books that help me understand society at a deeper level. My intention is simple. If I understand society better, maybe I can help my country in some way. At the very least, I try not to add to the damage. I am not perfect. Sometimes I fall. But I pull myself back as much as possible.
I write blogs and long form posts in a raw and direct style. I question systems and ideas instead of accepting them blindly. I am more comfortable challenging a system than worshipping a personality.
When it comes to poetry, I deeply admire Sri Sri gaaru. His words shaped my thinking and carried me through different phases of life. When it comes to logic and structural thinking, I respect Ambedkar gaaru immensely. I have read almost all of his works and I admire the clarity and courage in his reasoning. When it comes to solutions, I feel the Gandhian way is underrated, yet powerful when applied with discipline and sincerity. When it comes to courage and sacrifice for my country, I draw strength from Azad gaaru and Che gaaru.
Outside 9 to 5, I love motorcycles, especially my Enfield Classic. They are not just machines to me. They are a serious engagement. I spend a good amount of time with my bike and others. I repair my own bike and many others when needed. Through that process, I learned how engines really work. I went deep into mechanical systems and improved my understanding practically. I create motorcycle DIY content from nut to bolt.
Along with that, I love traveling, especially on my bike. I have travelled across most of South India and now I am exploring North and Northeast India. Every year, I ride long distances to explore places, people, and perspectives beyond my comfort zone. The road teaches me things no classroom ever can. Recently, I also tried hitchhiking. That is another adventure I should speak about another time.
Music is another serious commitment in my life. I practice Carnatic flute with discipline. I love it. It keeps me grounded and focused.
And lastly, I value rational thinking over rigid ideology.
