An archive of thoughts. A piece of my life.

—————————

I live in Munich, where advanced urban living meets the serene beauty of a grand village. I come from Chennai, the land of Thirukkural. This is an anthology of couplets written 2000 years ago touching every aspect of human life, from tax collection to depths of love. Many of them are striking. Here is one.

யாதானும் நாடாமால் ஊராமால் என்னொருவன்
சாந்துணையுங் கல்லாத வாறு.

Since every land and every town is one’s own to the seeker,
why would anyone ever stop learning?

— Kural 397

I am a Software Architect by profession. I have been part of teams building software for some of the world’s largest organizations. This work brought me to Germany and expanded my world, enabling my travels across Europe and beyond. I am passionate about learning many things that life brings to me. Or sometimes, I run to them.

I am always curious about our past, present, and the “what if.” By this I mean history, current affairs, technology, and science.

I am learning so much from others—by listening, observing, and reading. It is amazing how two people can perceive different aspects of the same object and present them in a curated structure of their own. Their signature.

I want to use this platform to share thoughts and reflections from my vantage point. My signature.

It is my way of engaging back. I call them my Records. An archive of thoughts. A piece of my life.

They can take many forms. I am starting with writing because I believe it is the most direct, minimalist and powerful way to communicate expansive ideas. I am also open to exploring other forms of expressing thoughts and recording life. Be it audio, visual, or any new form the future holds.

I heartily welcome you to join me on this journey as a fellow human.
