I've spent the last ten years wrangling web apps—wrestling with half‑baked specs, tackling edge cases nobody saw coming, and yes, occasionally watching my own creations misbehave in production (the best lessons always come wrapped in chaos). Give me the messy, the uncharted corner, the inherited spaghetti code—I thrive there.

Ruby and Rails aren't just tools to me; they're longtime collaborators. There's a poetry in Ruby's syntax and a comforting rhythm in Rails' conventions that feels less like "framework" and more like an early‑morning conversation with a friend who's been through the trenches. When everything else in tech seems like pushing boulders uphill, coding in Ruby feels like dropping into a hammock.

Off the clock, you'll catch me automating the trivial (or utterly game‑changing—it really depends on the day), plotting my next tactical chess gambit, or scribbling half‑baked ideas in a notebook—most of which will never see the light of day.

This little corner of cyberspace is my workshop: unvarnished thoughts, prototypes, misfires, and every tiny victory along the way. No polished brochures—just whatever's rattling around in my head. Feel free to poke around, and who knows? You might find something that sparks your curiosity.

Jab Tu Mujhse Milti Hai

Poetry • May 16, 2021

Lyrics

Her raat per wo baat nikalti hai
Mere dil se ye awaaz nikalti hai
Ke jab tu mere sath chalti hai
Jindagi her pal rukh badalti hai

Ankhein sab bayan karti hain
Kehti kuch nahi, bas isharon per chalti hai
Jindagi se gham haar jati hai
Aur khushi aansuon me nikalti hai
Kuch aisa hota hai, Jab tu mujhse milti hai

Not In My Name

In support of #NotInMyName campaign

Lyrics

For you it has always been a game
A game where you always blame
You blame me for what I am
You blame me for religion and my name
For you it has always been a game....

A game where we always loose
And we played because we had none to choose
A game where you let children cry
A game where you let people die
You never feel anything when it rains
You never care when we are in pain
But I promise you this time
I won't let you play this game
Atleast not in my name, not in my name
