Proud to Be a Small Part of Something That Touches Many..
I landed in Delhi few weeks back, running on minimal sleep. But the moment I stepped into the venue for Confluent Data Streaming World Tour, the fatigue vanished. The room was already packed—customers, partners, familiar faces, and new ones. It had that distinct buzz you only get when people genuinely want to be there, not…
Technology Is the Answer, Not the Pitch – an SBI Credit Card Story
Last week I was at HiLite Mall in Thrissur with my family, headed into Lulu Hypermarket, when a sales executive from SBI Card stopped me near the entrance. “Are you planning to take a credit card?” “No,” I said. “I already have an HDFC and an ICICI card.” She wasn’t ready to let go that…
From Stone Age Axe to ChatGPT: What We Keep Giving Up
A few days back, my son Sid was stuck on a school assignment, and before I could even open my mouth to explain it, he had already typed the question into ChatGPT and had a full answer staring back at him. It made me pause for a second — when was the last time I…

If NASA engineers want to send it a simple “Hey, run a diagnostic check,” they have to beam…

Why do we put ourselves through this stress? Simple: hard work pays for the lifestyle, dinner table upgrades, and overall well-being of our loved ones. Whether…

For years, I had a very specific, high-stakes ritual every time I finished writing a blog post about Azure. But I was bit lazy to do proof reading few times to correct it and make a good flow. So, like any loving husband, I did what felt natural: I handed it over to my wife.…
