0924/ Hacking Meditation
no matter what I try- I can't meditate.
My mind Just refuses to downshift.
Yoga Nidra taps into the Hypnopompic state.
This state happens right before natural waking.
Hack: Sleep at 10:30, wake at 6:30, laze till 7:30.
Drift in and out of sleep.
This gets me into this Hypnopompic state.
Clarity comes—no distractions, ideas flow.
It's now routine, and I highly recommend it.
-especially for meditation-phobes.
0824/ Holy Coffee
I’ve been rabbit-holing Tulsi.
Tulsi is proving it's more and more legit:1,2,3,4,5
I’m growing 5 varieties in our garden.
-Ram, Shyam, Kapoor, Vana and Laung.
I keep a few leaves in 1L of water overnight.
Extracts more phytochemicals and ups bioavailability.
I mix ¾ cold brew with ¼ Tulsi water.
The taste is basil-y, peppery. surprisingly good.
Benefits: Immune support, detox, anti-inflammatory.
Why isn’t this a thing in India yet?
1123/ MICRO-FARMING WITH GPTS
Nits started solids recently.
Our new place has a sizEable garden patch.
So why not micro-farm?
I built "Maali GPT" to help me optimize planting.
VARS: CITY, HRS SUN LIGHT, MONTH, bedding.
we’re growing fruits, veggies, greens, and herbs.
plan is A three season rotation.
Nit's isn't a fan of the spinach yet,
-but loving the new friends (BUTTERFLIES).
0523/THE Paradox of Imperfect AI
masochisM?
visualizing a mathematical paradox.
The Banach–Tarski paradox is A Fun one.
For kicks I prompted Midjourney v5.1
The result? Abstract, cool-looking.
but off.
Maybe it's fitting.
this paradox defies conventional visualization.
It’s rooted in the axiom of choice, beyond reality.
a fun telling weekend experiment.
0123 /Tiny Hands
A few days ago, I became a dad.
I think many of us "boys" carry an image
-An image of transformation into fatherhood.
but To actually experience it,
is a profound moment of truth.
Nothing can fully capture this feeling.
Nitara was born early morning on January 14th.
Her name means "deeply rooted" in Sanskrit.
Both baby and mommy are doing well.
