Cushions - the worst invention ever by humanity in terms of utility. Period.

All the complications around copyright and matching likeness, etc. notwithstanding, I have always wondered what the legendary playback singers/songwriters of yesteryears would do with the sound technology and engineering available today. Guess I won't have to wait long now...

No one really cares about what they could make ($$$), but only about what they should. That is what limits human ambition

“AI” is the new comma. Used often, but seldom in the right way.

Can’t say “blind study”, use “masked study”; Can’t say “sanity check”, use “fact check”; Can’t use “walk-in”, use “drop in”; Can’t say “master” bedroom, use “primary”. People who pride themselves on freedom of speech are the ones clamping down on the freedom of others to speak!

“Emotions come from the heart. Not a wand”. And he’s all of 3.

I was asked today, “How does one become a guru?” My impulsive response: “Just start referring to yourself as one”. Had a moment of self-realization when I uttered these words. Think about it - it truly is that simple.

The funniest moment in a movie hall for me was the screening of Ship of Theseus in Gurgaon. After the movie ended on a somber note and credits started rolling, the deathly silence in the theater was broken by a viewer asking his clueless friend “Sir ji, jahaaj to aaya hi nahi”!

Noticed how a nation’s music and movies are a peek into its collective mindset? India’s content scene seems to be on a leisurely stroll lately, with a sprinkle of pixie dust amidst the sea of drivel. Should we be worried about the playlist of our future? Discuss.

Realised I pay for more than 1 music streaming service. Anyone else who does the same and wonders why? I did too, but figured I have good reasons to do this. My list: YouTube Music, Spotify, Apple Music and Qobuz

“Lo-fi”. Another disastrous, formulaic and mindless cocktail recipe that butchers the very soul of Hindi film music after “Jhankar beats” and the garbage called “remix”. Let classics be. They’re those for a very good reason.

Foxed by the lack of academic scholarship and basic grammar when it comes to communication from the current generation. How does one respond to “What’s up, bro?”

Why are people losing their minds on airline passengers urinating on their fellow passengers? Spare a thought for the walls lining gullies and roads in India that have silently tolerated being sprayed on relentlessly for decades #wokester

Long interview, but worth listening to. The debate between science/evidence-based medicine and “alternative” medicine is seeded in logic and practicality. Also shows that science is a constant process of (re)discovery and questioning @amitvarma @theliverdr youtu.be/2t23ydu2NVQ?t=…

My viewing preferences have changed significantly, from the ability to watch anything to content that’s seeded in extremes…believable reality (eg Scenes from a Marriage) or absolute nonsense (Main Tera Hero). Age, parenthood, short attention span, natural evolution? Anyone else?
