Making Sense The whole world looks distracted now. There is so much news to consume, if one decides to. My always-open-to-be-distracted mind chomps on such crazy periods. Puts all my creative drives on the back burner. The uncertainty marks everything else futile. What is the point of anything when a few minds

A pleasant drive to the outsirkts. And I see the life that matters. Pune is blessed that way!

Spent an hour today writing a post that eventually felt inauthentic. I only realised after writing it that I had no opinion on the topic. Why did I think I needed to have one?

It happens a lot when I read meta posts on writing. I tend to get swayed and believe that I ought to contribute. I don’t.

On Handwriting I have terrible handwriting—often, even I can't read what I scribble. But how I write tells me more than what I write.

The First Thing That Gets Left Behind Whatever I say or feel about writing, it remains a hobby for me. I need to find time for it. And the thing about hobbies is that they tend to get left behind while life happens.

While I Wait My current ritual is to refresh my email. Once I realise there's nothing in there, I refresh a news website. I hate the news, and yet the futility of the task feels perfect in the moment.

I keep writing about the same thing I have been documenting my struggle to systematise everything. But what if I'm creating the problem by writing about it? Maybe I'm just writing about the wrong things.

Email and Calendars I don't know how to do email and calendar. The latter troubles me more.

A peaceful corner at a hospital that I had to visit recently - much needed calm for people going through a lot within.

Unsubscribe Spree Continues After changing a few apps and services recently, it was time to revisit my use of the read-later service.

Losing Patience with Reading I am bored with what I am reading these days. My RSS feed no longer inspires me. I know the problem is not them. It's me.

I suck at routine I should be deep asleep at this point. Instead, I am wasting my time reading stuff I had no inclination to catch up on. I opened the editor and then started reading older drafts. Anything but put some words on paper. It's so frustrating when I let that happen, because

I generally do not enjoy rock or rap songs. But I am enjoying the soundtracks from Dhurandhar. Good vibe.

While stuck at a traffic signal, I captured the mode of travel I’d prefer.

Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning Ethan Hunt and team continue their search for the terrifying AI known as the Entity — which has infiltrated intelligence networks all over the globe — with the world's governments and a mysterious ghost from Hunt's past on their trail. Joined by new allies and armed with the means to shut the Entity down for good, Hunt is in a race against time to prevent the world as we know it from changing forever.

Watched: Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning ★★🍿

The weakest MI movie. The story is weak. The antagonist is weak. Even action only works in parts. The submarine part felt stretched. Just no tension, and that’s the biggest fault.

I have been away from the Arc browser for a while now—basically, the sidebar interface. I tried going back to it with the Zen browser, and it’s frustratingly ineffective. It’s not the best view for the tabs. Kinda limits me.

Where Do the Children Play? On the need for a world without us

Where Do the Children Play? ⚓︎

"But that doesn’t change the fact that kids need their independent peer cultures. If we can’t provide physical spaces for them to form, then we must accept that they will often form in digital spaces instead... https://amitg.blog/2025/12/09/where-do-the-children-play/

We had a nice unplanned walk around the neighbourhood last night. Some charm in the usualities at night.

Movie night with family - Zootopia 2 at IMAX 🍿

It’s long past midnight and I am still unable to go to sleep. There’s a lot of noise outside and within. I have got nice sleep music playing in my ears, but when has that helped to cut the noise within? This is rare, but I hate when this happens.

Google just launched Antigravity, an AI-first IDE to challenge the growing popularity of Cursor and Windsurf among developers. I spent time testing it against Claude Code. Here are some of my early impressions. dev.amitgawande.com/2025/antigra...

Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai Sonia and Rohit love each other but Rohit is mysteriously killed. When Sonia moves to New Zealand, she meets Raj, Rohit's lookalike who helps her trace Rohit's killer.

Speed watched: Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai for n’th time🍿

I like to remind myself how cheesy Bollywoodish the 2000s were. And how crazy in love I was with the phase.

Sometimes the test posts are not to test the post, but to test the poster. Here’s that post.

When the skies peek from the canopy of the greens, sometimes that’s the best part of the walks! Yesterday was one such day - a walk through the old city of Pune. My daughter fell in love with the city that she never knew she was living in.

I have enabled the crossposting to all places again. Why? No reason. I have anyway been crossposting to Mastodon, which is the only social network I have been active on. But that need not be the case.
