An ode to Sujit Lalwani.

To Sujit Sir,

I have always admired Rahul dravid from my childhood; The way he pushes the ball through the covers amidst the tight field set, the way he glances the ball to the fine leg, that pull shot❤  damn! That's the perfect way to seduce any hardcore cricket fan.

One fine day, I got a chance to watch the test match between India and Pakistan. Need I say more? The crowd went gaga over Sachin, Ganguly, Rahul and many big names.
Day 3, India had already lost 2 wickets, Dravid comes to bat. I still remember that walk from the dressing room. Elegantly he came. Shoaib Akthar from the other side comes running from a mile and Dravid defences it like a warrior who defends his opponent with all courage and elegance, and the crowd had their loudest cheers for that defence. That one moment inspired me to a very large extent that, I promised myself on that day, that One day I gonna be like him(Though not in the cricket field).

 Likewise, the day I watched your speech at one young world in 2012 in YouTube, I instantly became your fan. Then I decided, one day I am gonna become like him. Today at the conference, when you walked up to the stage and started giving an excellent view of your life, that was an amazing feeling for me. Felt so inspired, energized, *adjective*ed. Today, watching you in live was a total fanboy moment for me.
Thank you so much sir!

The wanderer

a. There must be a place that feels exactly like home, but not home. There must be a phrase that  Sums up all the feel-good emotions that I so want to banter about. There must also be the warmth that I always needed. b. Every step I put requires the strength  Of wanting. I wander. I get lost. I wander. I find. c. Every play has 3 parts to it. The beginning. Feels terrible. The interval. Realization and the urge to get closer. The end. Finding the familiarity. The more I get lost, the more I find a part within me that I barely knew existed.

Goya

Just the other day while standing under an abandoned building similar to my heart, when it was raining cats and dogs, a man ran towards the building seeking for shelter. As apparent it was, he was all drenched. Striking a conversation was never so easy with a complete stranger, until it down poured heavily. Because everyone does look for shelter just like seeking for their souls out of life and have got nothing but share stories. The particular story of the man standing right across me left me dumbstruck. You see, relatable stories. Crazy as it sounds, but the fact is stories are never unique, just the souls dealing with it are. In the end, we're all just mundane stories narrated with different lives. As simple as that.

Aadhar Card & Evolution- An Observation On Complex Systems

A couple of days back I was at an Aadhar Card Centre to get my details updated. While I was waiting for my turn, I was just observing the surroundings and just about so, I went into the rabbit hole of thinking about how the Aadhar Card as an idea must have originated. It must have started with a purpose that every citizen of India must have a unique number through which the person is identified. Sounds simple, right? While the idea is simple at its core, when implemented at scale it becomes extremely complicated- a complex system, if you will. Let me go down the rabbit hole even further and I will do that by making a conjecture, the conjecture being, that any Primitive Idea when it is scaled at large becomes a very complex system. And moreover, the same pattern can be observed everywhere, right from the formation of cities from an evolutionary biological standpoint to the present-day human behavior in society and whatnot! Let me explain what I mean. To implement the idea of assigning
