This just happened.

Excited to join Prof. Lingjie Liu’s @lingjieliu.bsky.social group at @upenn.edu for a research internship soon! Looking forward to the research ahead!

A telltale sign of a scientific mind is the openness to investigate.

Dismissing ideas only on face-value is analogous to being illogical.

The life of a fad ends when another starts

The effects of lowering attention spans will have many downstream effects. To understand, try this simple thought experiment:
Imagine the general population’s reactions after learning that there is life elsewhere in the universe?
Now how do you think the reactions will evolve in a week? 2 weeks?

Bob Dylan is such an undeniable legend! He followed his passion and creative spirit even though it meant defying expectations. No wonder Steve Jobs considered him as an idol. He’s mine too!

Mumbai International Airport.
India’s Infrastructure is transforming at a massive rate!

That being said, I am looking forward to being in the US again soon!

US and India are at very different stages in their journey. This time around it feels like the party has started in India!

Indian infrastructure is undergoing a massive transformation. So the best time to visit India is ~5 years from now.

Normal coffee in India

Yeah… I am going to need more than one cup here.

P.S- I observed this in Mumbai and parts of Gujarat.

Why is everything getting renovated at the same time in India? Development without regards for present utility is not a good choice.

I’m trying to pinpoint why I am so exhausted by sunset in India: I think it has to do with a combination of sensory overload and ‘controlled’ chaos.

Having spent the last ~1.5 years adopting the american culture, I don’t think it is reasonable to switch back for a month.

American conversational style is very different from India’s

Them: “how are you?”
Me: “Doing great! a different experience this…..”
Them: already moved on

The new Mumbai-Delhi expressway is impressive. Pretty much like the US Interstate highways.

Although I really don’t know how they collect data in transportation research …

If you want to experience high entropy, come to India. The emergent vehicular patterns are fascinating!

Not sure about research, because it’d be very difficult to collect replicable data unless it’s a highly curated environment which defeats the purpose really.

Yeah, I was just telling my dad that since there are no lane markings, everyone is just making them up in their head, which most probably are not the same for everyone leading to so many tiny errors.

India has a problem of under-regulation. I am on a national highway and there no lane lines. None.

Added!

Clarity* is a great unifier.

Done!

You’re right. Done!

Already done!

What rabbit holes have you fallen into, today?

Stop watching videos, start interacting with worlds.
