OFF-GRID

Signals Beyond The Console

Four off-grid frequencies that keep the technical work grounded: writing, reading, music, and an enduring appetite for trivia.

OFF-GRID / 01

Writing

Writing has been a constant since childhood, from notebooks filled with stories and poems to the long process of completing a full novel.

  • My novel, "The Room of Death," is awaiting publication after countless late-night sessions, revisions, and refinements.
  • I also publish short stories and poetry on Instagram, often exploring emotion, observation, and the quieter intricacies of everyday life.
OFF-GRID / 02

Reading

Reading is an instinct-led journey through history, science, mythology, psychology, strategy, and ideas that sharpen how I understand people and systems.

  • Books such as Daniel Kahneman's "Thinking, Fast and Slow" have deepened my interest in human behavior and decision-making.
  • The Bhagavad Gita and Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" continue to shape my thinking about duty, ethics, resilience, strategy, and adaptation.
OFF-GRID / 03

Music

Music is both refuge and expression, connecting the melodic traditions of India and the West through listening, reflection, and playing the guitar.

  • Jagjit Singh remains my favorite artist; his voice and poetic phrasing carry an emotional depth that continues to resonate with me.
  • Playing guitar gives me a personal way to explore melody and rhythm, whether revisiting classics or experimenting with unfamiliar tunes.
  • Ghazals hold a special place in my listening for their lyrical beauty and ability to communicate what ordinary language often cannot.
OFF-GRID / 04

Trivia

Trivia keeps curiosity active across history, science, literature, technology, and popular culture.

  • I enjoy discovering obscure connections and testing them through quizzes, games, and spontaneous conversations.
  • It is a playful discipline that continually expands my knowledge and connects me with people who enjoy the fascinating details of the world.
