I work in cybersecurity — which means I spend my days thinking about how systems fail, where trust breaks down, and what it takes to build something that holds. It is, genuinely, a fascinating field. But it has never been the only thing.

I grew up in India with an appetite for things I couldn't always easily access — obscure films, rare cars, food from cities I hadn't visited yet. That distance taught me how to research obsessively, how to read deeply, and how to form strong opinions about things I'd only encountered through a screen. Most of those opinions have held up.

I am a high-achiever by habit and a generalist by nature. I have strong views on what makes a car great, what separates a good film from a lasting one, which cities reward slow attention, and why most technology is interesting but very little of it is actually good. I think about these things more than is probably useful.

This website is the place where I stop keeping those thoughts to myself. No algorithm. No engagement metrics. Just the ideas, the lists, and the writing — offered to whoever finds them useful.
