If you're (South) Indian, then you know how brave I'm being right now.

You couldn’t just roll down the street leaving huge piles of garbage everywhere you go, making life slower for everyone as they climb over your mountains of junk, just to get on with their life. That’s how I feel about the digital things we put out into the world: websites, apps, and files.

Netflix is, in my eyes, a world-leader in video delivery, so I figured if they can use AWS to serve their content, why can't I?

My writing here is mostly focused on people and technology in all aspects. Sometimes, an idea just sticks in your head and needs to be written. Isn't all of time is measured only by relative means? Maybe time really is just wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff...

As I watch (a rather large subset of) my peers headed towards job interviews and starting a career; few realise that it can take a long time to figure out your work life...

Is your Macbook Air overheating? Here’s a technique I’ve been using for the last couple of years, works everytime. Read the rest of this before you decide to throw away good money on yet another snake oil solution.

As I’ve evaluated contradicting opinions in different areas of software engineering and development, I‘ve found an analogy that helps me make decisions. It boils down to one central idea: Your life is an open source project, and you are its maintainer.

Perched precariously on the top step of an inadequate and shaky ladder in the corner of my living room; I think "Maybe I’ll just stand here for a few hours and not move, maybe I don't even need Wi-Fi anymore. Maybe I should live in the mountains and never think of technology again"

Lately I've been delving into the WordPress ecosystem, as it seems to be the most popular CMS platform around at the moment. I've built several sites with it so far.

As my role at the South Indian Model United Nations grows increasingly more complex, I draw parallels with yet another excerpt that a fellow redditor posted: I was part of

As my formal education in computer science progresses, I have now discovered an unexpected relationship between coding and writing. There is perhaps no single greater way to articulate and delve

I adore words, but let's face it: books suck in a lot of ways. Beautiful ideas have been helplessly trapped in physical books for the last few centuries....

I'm fast approaching the end of the first semester of my CS course at college and it seems to me that the whole "everyone should learn programming" has gotten out of control. Nearly every course has to have a programming class - even the ones that don't seem to benefit from it whatsoever...

I recently read Letter from a Birmingham Jail by Martin Luther King Jr. and what I absolutely love about the letter – beyond the incredible emotion – is that it illustrates just

Despite my morbid love for desktop computers and a perfect desktop workspace, I've been chasing the perfect laptop for a while now. Although I've tolerated lugging around 2-3 kilogram machines

Despite popular assertions to the contrary, science tells us that money can buy happiness. To a certain extent. This is something...

Everything on the internet seems to be done with an app these days and I'm getting sick and tired of being nagged to install your damned mobile apps....

I've been using the internet since 2007 and I still frequent several websites (especially Reddit) and Reddit didn't get a long-deserved website redesign until a while ago. This made me

Basically every post from Lifehacker and any other similar productivity porn site always seems to feature a new To-Do application. There are dozens to choose from, regardless of which platform

The prevalence free, fast and open WiFi networks has made it extremely easy for a WiFi eavesdropper (sniffer) to track your activity and perhaps even steal your identity cookies while

Today's processors contain billions of transistors in a tiny, constantly shrinking amount of space. All of these transistors produce heat. Power consumption for CPU's can vary wildly: 1000 watts on

Now, full disclosure before I begin. This blog is hosted on Ghost and I like it. It's simple and quick. Especially for the occasional blogger like me; who is hosting
