Xerox This

FY2025-26 was demanding. Full of meetings, revised plans, deadlines and moments that tested patience in ways I hadn't quite anticipated. And yet, as I sit down to reflect on this year, the sharpest lesson didn't come from any of that. It came from a roadside shop.

Utopian Reality

A lot has been said about AI. One statement from Mr.Vinod Khosla caught my eye. To quote - “By 2050, it'll be very clear that nobody needs jobs because with enough production of goods and services that are near free, you won't need jobs.”
