Someone I was interviewing for a job recently told me about - hard work vs. smart work. Suddenly occurred to me that this is never the choice. It is about being smart while working hard. Working hard is not optional.

Somewhere out there, in a world where only Ghibli’s exist, an AI figured how to make natural non-anime images. It took the Ghibli AI world by storm. Their GPUs melted too. There was a craze to make non anime images. And then, like always, this phase passed too. Next came…

Non linearity is where the secrets are. In getting returns for effort, in fine tuning systems to work across scenarios and in going a bit closer to reality — non linearity is where the pay offs are. Linearity is an over simplification.

Families are groups where there is quite a bit of unconditionality in support. But businesses are constructed to create value in exchange for value paid through money. What unites people here can be passion but little is unconditional when the end goal is strongly conditional.

And then there are quotes which say - if you get on the wrong train, remember that the train driver is just another human like you. So you can convince the driver and the passengers to take the train to a destination that you want.

Sometimes working on what you love is not optimal. Love makes rational behaviour hard. It’s better to work with the mindset of discharging important duty. Responsibility based actions are more likely rational than love driven actions. Start with love. Sustain with a sense of duty

Imagine starting a car that hadn't run in 21 years, that's 15 billion miles away in interstellar space. That's what the NASA team just did with NASA Voyager's thrusters. People are amazing. jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasas-voy…

I don’t agree with the notion that funding is stuck. AgniKul Cosmos just got support from DST as a space startup. Deep tech requires thoughtful & steady capital infusion. Such capital is now available in India. Just because it is happening quietly, doesn’t mean it’s non existent

Major career cheat code: Be the person who can figure it out. You’ll be handed tasks you have no idea how to complete. There's nothing more valuable than someone who can just figure it out. Do some work. Ask key questions. Get it done. If you do that, people will fight over you.
