AI Isn’t a Bubble. I Watched It Do the Work of Four Engineers in My Living Room
Every few weeks, a new headline lands in the same inbox. “AI will cause mass layoffs.” “AI is the next dot-com bubble.” “AI is overhyped.” “AI is the end of white-collar work.” Pick one, and there’s a hot take to match it. I want to offer a different perspective — one that I think gets…

The “Reel” Economy: Why Shark Tank India is the New Influencer Circus
In the heart of Mumbai and Bangalore, a strange and quiet surrender is taking place. While the headlines scream about “New India” and our “Digital Revolution,” the reality is far more cynical. We are witnessing the birth of the Reel-Preneur—a hybrid creature that is 10% businessman and 90% performance artist. If you open Instagram, you…

For as long as I have lived in Europe and the United Kingdom, I have been asked the same question: “Why don’t you move to Dubai?” Sometimes it comes from friends in India, sometimes from colleagues, and occasionally even from recruiters who assume that any Indian engineer would naturally gravitate toward the Gulf.

The $30K Drone vs the $6M Missile: America’s New War Problem

Pralay Explained: Why the “Apocalypse” Missile is Pakistan’s Strategic Dead End
In 2025, India quietly rewrote the rules of warfare in South Asia. Operation Sindoor exposed the risks of manned aerial combat under modern air defenses. Months later, the successful trials of the Pralay quasi-ballistic missile delivered the finishing blow to Pakistan’s decades-old nuclear bluff. Pralay is not just another missile. It is a conventional, hypersonic,…

India’s Engineering Illusion: What the Galgotia AI Stunt Really Exposed
The recent AI summit controversy at Galgotias — where a Chinese-made Unitree Go2 robot dog was presented at the 2026 India AI Impact Summit as an in-house “breakthrough” named Orion– didn’t embarrass Indian engineering. It exposed it. And anyone who studied in a mid-tier private engineering college in India knows exactly what I’m talking about.…

FPGA Clocking Fundamentals: Synchronous Design and the Importance of Determinism
In the software world, we are taught that faster is always better. When you go out to buy a processor for your laptop, you look at the specs: 3.2GHz, 4.5GHz, or perhaps a overclocked monster hitting 5GHz. In that world, the clock frequency is the primary metric of “power.” But then you enter the world…
