started October with 34 followers, 434 today. and of course it sounds ✨✨✨ but i think its a little to do with posting about my portfolio everydayyy with someone value to anyone looking at my tweet, until one day, it blew up. ;)
my biggest experiment ever, was spending unquestionable time, blood, sweat, tears into my portfolio. it didnt make sense to anyone around me, ofc. my dad would ask me everydayy if its done. throughout these couple of months, id be awkward to meet any of my friends because i never had answers to give about what i were doing.
i know, i know. sounds so typical and cliché and probably bleh. BUT even if it comes across through one person its a win for me. take bets, the biggest bets and go all in. put yourself through a lot of mini failures. be unreasonably delusional. i swear if i i read this off someones twitter, i probably would've ignored it, too. but all you lovely folks are here, because of something you liked, enjoyed and supported. soo, hope this means something to you ;)
P.S. QUIT THAT GODDAMN LOSER JOB OF YOURS THAT YOU HATE AND COMPLAIN SO MUCH.

Also, the Chaitanya Narayanas have robbed the kids’ leisure time. With all the gruelling study hours, students are left with little time to pursue any meaningful hobbies. All that they could resort for cheap entertainment is mindless cinema. Any thought provoking cinema is

Hello @NetflixIndia the next time you want to name a reporter character Sandhya, show her uncovering illegal sand mining, create a Tamil villain, and pick bits & pieces from MY real life story which was pitched to you TWICE in 2022 and 2023, AND not give me any credit at the least.... Think hard and well.
Thankfully it was a supremely crappy movie with ham performances and @ParineetiChopra was nothing like me. In fact she was nothing like any reporter & the newsroom portrayal was idiotic & amateurish. You've been clever enough to try & escape a lawsuit by altering the story enough.
You owe me a public apology at the very least but I'm certain you have no moral fibre in you to do so.
Shame on you all, especially the director-writer Dhruv Tripathi. Stealing other people's hard work and making money sneakily out of it.

with my current platform, allow me tell you about what's happening in Indonesia.
today, massive student-led protests are taking place against the incompetent and self-serving regime.
one of the most pressing issues being raised is the BURNING DOWN of our forests and lands, which has been happening for months. you might have heard about the fires in Kalimantan/Borneo, as neighboring countries also suffer from the haze, but they're happening across other islands too; Sumatra, Papua, Sulawesi, Maluku, and even multiple mountains in Java. beyond the loss of people's homes, clean air, and clean water, we're watching our native wildlife and irreplaceable biodiversity along with centuries-old traditional sites disappear before our eyes.
yet the government has been UNWILLING to take meaningful action. instead, our public servants have been trying to silence our voices online, turning down foreign aid, and waging psywar against other countries, all without even acknowledging the severity of the situation.
budgets for disaster relief, education, and healthcare have been reallocated to the Free Meal Program, the president's flagship campaign promise, which ironically has reportedly poisoned ~40,000 children in less than 2 years, with no one being held accountable.
today, in jakarta alone 14,000 police and military personnel were deployed to confront demonstrators. This is the reality of the repressive, anti-criticism government the Indonesian people are currently facing.
and you know what? WATER CANNONS were prepared. water cannons that have never been used to fight the fires are now being aimed at the people.
today is the Youth Pledge Day, when indonesian youth pledged to fight for freedom 98 years ago.
may this freedom find us again.
Long live resistance.

Writing is the superpower of humankind. It is our truest form of magic.
Writing allows you to conjure up something of value where nothing previously existed. It costs little for you to write down the lessons of your life and yet those few minutes spent writing can be life-altering for the right reader. As I once saw it put: "there is someone out there with a wound in the exact shape of your words."
Furthermore, writing is the foundation of nearly every technology and innovation because we have to record what we know before we can build upon it. And these innovations are passed down from generation to generation, allowing our children to inherit a richer intellectual fortune than what we were born into. The world is richer because we write and nobody is made poorer in the process.

The story of tech and design:
In 1976, Apple figured out that design, taste, and quality make better products.
Ever since, everyone in tech has wanted to be like Apple and “do design,” while remaining completely oblivious to what design, quality and taste actually means
“designing much faster than the others” — this so daft and makes it clear they don’t understand design at all. “Designing fast” (or slow) is just not a thing. If you conflate “producing ui by piecing together stuff” and “design” then the former (which is a form of assembly-line practice) can surely be fast or slow.
What makes the practice of design challenging is not how to put a ui or poster together, it’s what the pieces are, what the message is, what is being communicated, how it all works together.
So many of today’s “design” AI tools focus almost exclusively on the production part, on putting stuff together. I’d love to see an AI design tool that forms a deep understanding of a problem over the course of days or months and works like a creative partner. Call me on my bullshit, thinks about the whole, isn’t concerned really about the final arrangement of elements as much as it would understand the story and the message.
