November 2024

Hello hello!

I have been delaying these posts more and more, and I am not sure if that is because I no longer know what I should put in these, or if too much happens every month, or if it is because I don’t have a clear structure around what I want to communicate. So this one might be slightly shorter than usual.

November started with a trip to Gurgaon (one that required me to keep my mask on at all times, unless I wanted my lungs to immediately give up; friends in NCR, how do you survive) for Slush’d to talk a bit about how I have been using AI in my process. Managed to meet with some cool people including the very creative Hasan, who is always a joy and delight to hangout with.

I was feeling some sort of creative burnout so even though I wanted to make progress on my game (the one that I am solo creating) it was a struggle and I just ended up working on more non-creative/ operational problems. Honestly its not really that the burnout is more solved now, and maybe burnout is the wrong word for it. I think my psychological energies are going in other places, and no matter how high your capacity, ultimately no one has infinite capacity. So I am just letting myself take it slow.

Kahran and I started doing interviews and publishing them. Its one of the best feelings, to sit with folks who I like and talk to them for an hour. Understand how they see life, how they think. You can check out the recent episodes here : Thinking on Thinking

Charu and I have continued to make progress on the game. Slow and steady. And there are some super exciting projects on all fronts that hopefully will happen starting January.

Hope you have a lovely time with your family and friends as the year closes! Happy holidays and Happy new year! See you in 2024.
