One of the topics which fascinates me a lot is "minimalism". It's a way of living i.e. owning less things, living optimally (which is not the same as living frugally or being poor). But more importantly, it's a way of life i.e. it's a philosophy of life applicable for every walk of life. This week's... Continue Reading →

नुकतेच म्हणजे ४ आठवड्यापूर्वी अमृता प्रीतम यांचे जोडीदार कवी आणि चित्रकार इमरोज यांचे निधन झाले. अमृता प्रीतम या प्रसिद्ध कवियत्री, पंजाबी साहित्यिक आणि ज्ञानपीठ विजेत्या होत्या. त्यांचे हिंदी चित्रपटसृष्टीतील प्रसिद्ध गीतकार साहिर लुधियानवी यांच्यावर प्रचंड प्रेम होते. तसे त्यांचे लग्न प्रीतम सिंग यांच्याशी झालेले होते, पण प्रेम साहिरवर. आणि इमरोज (मूळ नाव इंद्रजितसिंग) यांचे अमृता प्रीतम...

BBC Show “Countdown” and Rachel Riley
I like British Humour a lot! My first brush with the British Humour was through legendary Marathi humorist Pu La Deshpande (or P. L. Deshpande). Pu La used to rave about P.G. Wodehouse and followed his kind of humour. When I started reading in English (which was from standard 8 or 9, because my introduction... Continue Reading →

He recently co-authored a book... Continue Reading →

Elon Musk is an enigma for me. I am still not sure if he's a maverick genius or an eccentric and arrogant nerd. I'm not sure if I like him or dislike him. Over the last 1 year I am trying to understand him more closely. I recently got his biography by Walter Isaacson, which... Continue Reading →
The Seen and The Unseen: Episode #352 with Harsh Vardhan
One of my favourite podcasts is Amit Varma's The Seen and The Unseen. Though the episodes are way too long (usually 3 hrs long, but sometimes extending to 5-6 even 8 hours!), they are always valuable and enjoyable in parts. One such episode I liked and thought of sharing here was that with Harsh Vardhan.... Continue Reading →
The Best of Charlie Munger
I am still not over the fact that my role model Charlie Munger passed away at 99. And the same is true for his cult - which is pretty huge, spread across the world! So I have been watching for last few days multiple videos of and about Charlie and articles written by him or... Continue Reading →
