Who am I?

Guy who builds data-driven software and cloud infrastructure for that addictive monthly salary. Take that away and I love exploring where’s the next good bite in Delhi. I like to read internet journalism and Wikipedia too much, eat all the unhealthy stuff with relish, binge watch YouTube, sweat my pants off running or playing racquet sports, and I try to finish at least one video game a year.

Where am I?

All over the Delhi National Capital Region in India as far as the Delhi Metro can take me.

Why am I?

God willed it.

Either that, or poor decision making by my parents.

Quote to live & die by?

“It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.”

- Invictus, William Ernest Henry

Something you said online got me pissed and I want to express that to your face

If it is a failing of my morals or ethics, then I will make it up to you and everybody I didn’t mean to hurt but I did end up doing so.

For the rest….. seethe.

Nice site. What’s the stack?

It’s a hackneyed job underneath and I think I’ll let it be this way in this era of everything being built by AI. To acknowledge the hard work of the unsung devs who made each bit of this site’s toolchain possible, here’s the list:

• Atlantic theme for jekyll-rb by Zerostatic. I modified it to meet some of my design needs.
• GitHub Pages, hosting my previously dormant website and now these pages since the last decade. Posts are written as Markdown files on a branch and a GitHub actions workflow automates building the pages you see here. (I did write this and it didn’t work, so Claude one-shotted the repair job for it. Thanks, Anthropic, I guess.)
• Disqus to provide an entire comments & reaction system for the site’s posts.
