I lied to you

I'm a software developer, writer, and a curious mind.
I write both long form essays and short notes exploring various facets of technology.
On my desk, you'll find reflections on the things I enjoy, and in my drawer little poems and musings quietly rest.
Sometimes I write poems, and short stories, and little musings in Malayalam, my native language from Kerala.
I love wandering through the world, discovering its stories, and letting them inspire me.

A random mix of technical notes, poetry, and occasional musings.
The most frictionless tool I have ever seen is a piece of paper and pen.
It’s simple and easy enough to not think about anything else related to it. I don’t need to think about how I can use that, as my brain knows how to use it like I know how to eat. There are no disruptions like new interfaces where the button position has been changed, or performance glitches due to useless features. It’s just a tool that easily becomes part of your body, and you can start working immediately. Eventually it will disappear from your mind when you are using it. That’s how it becomes a perfect tool.
How well do you know
your brother?
While driving, if he says “turn left,”
I can take a right, confidently,
because I know
he meant a right turn.
How can I be the best dad?
my younger friend asked.
You’ll become a great one
the moment you learn to heal
your kids’ wounds
with a single kiss.
The past smiled at me.
“Daddy, what is the most beautiful thing
you have seen in your whole life?”
my little one asked.
“You,” I replied.
She laughed while hugging me tightly.
