I watched so many (probably hundreds?) movies with my parents as a child and a teenager. We mostly saw them in theaters; in fact, there was no other option. The first set I remember is Premaloka and Ranadheera, directed by Ravichandran. Both were remakes, but it didn’t matter. Premaloka was released in 1987...
The only thing I miss about working remotely is being around people. I enjoy meeting people outside of work, such as over coffee or during lunch breaks. Even working remotely, I have tried to go out and meet and work with people at least once a week. However, for some reason, I didn’t...
So, when you don’t believe in God or follow a specific religion, what do you celebrate with others? Just because I’m not religious doesn’t mean I’m anti-social—I still want to spend time with family and friends, which often happens around religious festivals.

My visit to IITM/Chennai was enjoyable; I met many students and spent time with some of them. In general, it was great to catch up with all of them. This is the fifth year of the program. Many graduated this year with three-year and four-year degrees. It’s amazing to see this happening at...
So, I’m going to attempt to write a blog post, actually by dictating it using IdeaShell. It’s my dream to write a whole blog post using voice. It’s not done using any Text-generating LLMs, but this is done using Speech to Text (STT). Just to try it out. I’m doing this while I’m taking a stroll at Madras, an evening stroll. It’s a good way to test it because I just wanted to test it in different environments. How does it perform?
