"Food" for thought

Hello, World! As you might have noticed with my previous posts, my intention with these blogs has been to give you guys a TLDR; version of something potentially useful in a jargon-less (TLDR -> Too long didn't read) and lighthearted manner, and learn while doing the same. Today, I'm going to be writing about one of the things we all care about, which some of us live to eat, while others eat to live, FOOD . Again, like always, I'm not a nutritionist or a biologist (but I am a foodie), so this blog isn't an advisory on what's good for you, but I intend to leave you with something, which shall hopefully empower you to decide what's good for you. What is food fundamentally? (WARNING: A Pizza may seem less appealing after reading this) Food is basically a bunch of carbon(C), hydrogen(H) and oxygen(O) atoms linked together in a certain orientation with cameos of atoms like sulphur, iron, zinc, phosphorous, copper etc. While all of these aren't present in a...

Crypto-Currency Simplified

Hi all, Thanks again for visiting my blog. As they say, good things come to those who wait. (Well, technically you guys weren't waiting for this, but good things are coming for you nonetheless :P). This blog is all about crypto-currency (that expensive  Bitcoin, that relatively cheaper Ethereum etc.) [yes, the "hype" around crypto-currency got me] and more importantly, the underlying infrastructure ( BlockChain ) that supports it. With my limited understanding of all this, let me explain it to you guys by answering some simple questions. Also, I have tried to keep the implementation specific details away and this post is only meant to give you guys an intuition of how this stuff works. - What really is a Block Chain? Put simply, a block chain is just a chain of blocks where each block is a list of transactions .

Let's talk money

Hello World, Firstly, thanks for taking the time to visit my blog. I have been thinking about starting to write...but you know how this stuff usually works 😋 Now that I finally have some time dedicated for this, here's not a bit but a few bytes about me (Note: Please take a moment to appreciate the good humor here). As you might have already figured out, I'm a tech geek, currently living in the San Fransisco Bay Area. I am also an Indian, born and raised in Mumbai and trying to improve the world one bit at a time (Ok, no more bit humor). I recently (May' 2017) graduated from University of Pennsylvania and I love writing code and talking about exciting opportunities and business ideas ( of course, not just talking 😎) This post will majorly focus on explaining the rationale behind why everyone should try to understand fundamental economics. I will also share some of the resources that I have explored until now. Again, this post is not at all meant to be a one-stop d...
