Personal
I have a deep love for books1, competitive chess2, and an on-again-off-again fling with video games3. Lately, though, my time has been consumed by learning to play Go (thanks to the brilliant WonkyVamp), and I am utterly obsessed.
If you are wondering what to get me for my birthday, here is a tip: I am an analog watch fan. Anything that ticks without needing a battery, and I am sold :)
Oh, and I love cricket. Between overs and innings, life is never short on excitement (or waiting).
I was introduced to Linux at the age of 7 and never turned back: I love terminals! I have been using Vim/Neovim for the past 10 years now, mostly because I spent the first 2 years figuring out how to exit it (ironically this website is built using Emacs)! (View my nvim config file here). Not anymore. I recently ditched Vim/Neovim in favor of Zed. Read more about it here.
Some more things I love:
- Good, aesthetic, thought out designs: I love soft brutalism and anti-branding
- A good pen
- Rushing deadlines
- Black coffee (light roast)
- Good well written lines (be it in code, prose, or poetry)
- The smell of old books
- Cognitive science
- Chicago (best city in the world, Tokyo is a close second)
Site Notes
- This site is a collection of org-mode files, exported via org-publish in Emacs.
- Apologies for any word crimes - I am trying my best!
- I have a collection of mismatched socks that I refuse to throw away because I am convinced the other sock will turn up eventually.
- I adhere to the philosophy of File over app.
