Here’s what I’m doing now.

Travels

I used to travel a lot. But now, I’m back home in Kerala for the foreseeable future.

I will be at these events in the following months. Say hi!

Full-Time Job

I recently left my job to pursue my more amateur interests. It’s still novel, so I don’t really know how to put labels on the things that I do now (or whether I should).

But previously, I worked on open source projects in the cloud native space. I have traveled a lot to speak at conferences and meet our customers.

Blog and Newsletter

I write on this blog about my work and my other projects. I also send occasional newsletters to a couple of hundred people.

I don’t plan to work on these full-time or scale and monetize them, at least for now.

Reading

I’m currently reading V K N's collected short stories.

I’m also reading The Anarchy by William Dalrymple. It talks about the East India Company and how it rose to power against Indian kingdoms.

I like learning history. I’m terrible at it, and I have been improving my knowledge by reading more history books.

I have also been using Readwise for articles and newsletters. It works really well. I will create a public list of my subscriptions soon.

Side Projects and Hobbies

I’m not working on any side projects now. But I have a big “Ideas” document that I find myself updating constantly.

A lot of my hobbies, like playing my bass guitar, have reduced significantly. I plan to spend more time on my hobbies after a few months.
