Saw a dystopian movie today – The Creator. It’s a three year old film, but chanced upon it on Netflix, and must say that I enjoyed it thoroughly. For a change, the movie was about bad humans and good AI, with the Americans NOT saving the world for a change. I would recommend this flick …
A day of debates. Actually, a season of debates. From politics, to relationships, to services. It is tough to debate. It is easy to fight yes. Look no further than the Lok Sabha.

I was going through a few blogs that I had written way back in 2021, and chanced upon this one. Am happy that five years later, I still have the good fortune of loving what I do, and am still trying to build a team that loves what they do. That’s half a decade later …
