Moving past chaos
The last few months have been chaotic for me. They could’ve been better, but I managed to accidentally introduce confusion, making them chaotic. I started way too many personal initiatives and ended up finishing none. These weren’t necessarily tech projects, just some personal initiatives around health, managing time, growth, etc. Not all of these initiatives…

Happy New Year 2021
—
in PersonalLast year, when I wrote the “Happy New Year 2020” post, COVID-19 had just begun its course. Very few people in the world were aware of the full glory of the havoc it was about to wreck on the world. Looking back at that post, I just smile at how oblivious I was to what…

North

Decade In Review (2010 – 2019)

Working on Side Projects
—
in PersonalWorking on Side Projects can be really fun. But, you know what’s not fun and sucks? Not finishing the project and abandoning it (also, Global Warming). This is a very common problem and most of us struggle with it. It gets trickier. Once you lose interest in the project and abandon it, guilt kicks in,…

Game of Thrones

Happy New Year 2019

in PersonalHappy New Year! 🎉 2018 has been a great year for me. Both, professionally and personally.

Personal Blog
—
in PersonalA blog is a great place to post interesting, insightful and fun things. Or even boring things. It doesn’t really matter as long as you like doing it. I really enjoy reading my friends’ blogs. It has a different feel to it as opposed to reading a generalized feed on a social network. Typically, I…

Domain name purchase obsession
—
in PersonalI love buying interesting domain names. I do that with the hope that one day, I end up using the domain name for one of my side projects or at least work on a side project after purchasing the domain name. Sometimes, I just think of an idea and come up with a good name…

Happy New Year 2017

in PersonalLast year, I, royally screwed up the timing of my year in review post by posting it in July. I know, July is not really the best time to wish someone a Happy New Year, but, unfortunately, that was when I snapped out of my laziness to write a blog post. I didn’t want to…
