The world didn’t ask for another blog. But here we are.
This isn’t about productivity hacks, life optimization or becoming a thought leader in five easy steps. It’s just thoughts; some smart, some ridiculous, most somewhere in between.
Like, how do you explain to your grandparents that the WhatsApp message they just forwarded. The one about fake airline giveaways, miracle cures or secret government leaks, isn’t real? You could break down misinformation, deepfakes and how these things spread. But let’s be honest, by the time you’re done, they’ll have forwarded two more.
We live in this strange paradox: information everywhere, clarity nowhere. Everyone’s an expert, yet nobody really knows what’s real anymore. So, what do you do? Become an expert yourself? Ignore it all? Escape to a farm and grow tomatoes?
And then there’s the everyday stuff. Like watching parents hand an iPad to a six-month-old to keep them quiet. Is that bad? Or just the new reality? Why do some people want to embrace technology fully while others want to run from it? And why do most of us feel stuck in between, staring at both sides like my cat, Kulfi, at an open door; wanting to go out but also kinda wanting to stay in?
I don’t have answers. Just thoughts. Sometimes funny, sometimes existential, sometimes both. I write them down. You read them. Or don’t. Either way, life goes on.
Oh, and about the name.
Curiosity Didn’t Kill the Cat is named after my cat, Kulfi. But she’s more than just a cat. She’s a metaphor for all of it.
Some mornings, she’s ready to train for a marathon. By noon, she’s craving a cheeseburger. Some days, she has a billion-dollar startup idea. By lunch, she’s drafting her resignation email. By dinner, she’s deleting it. Some days, she’s watching YouTube tutorials on how to live off the grid. The next, she’s paying extra for an oat milk latte with Apple Pay.
Sometimes, she’s an employee drowning in corporate absurdity. Sometimes, she’s just a person trying to make sense of it all. And sometimes, she’s watching the world unfold with that perfect mix of curiosity and confusion.
Sound familiar?
In short? She’s figuring it out, just like the rest of us.
So, welcome. Let’s figure things out together. Or at least, let’s pretend to.
Meet Kulfi.
No this is not AI generated. This is real. 2 months old Kulfi.
A bit about me (the bits I don’t mind sharing)
This little corner of the internet is just that; a corner. For ideas that don’t quite fit in a diary but might find a home in someone else’s head too.
I like to experiment with designs, with words, with images. Sometimes purely mine, sometimes borrowed from my chats with AI. A lot of what you see here has been stitched together from those moments. Some start as messy thoughts thrown into a conversation with a bot, only to come back dressed up in words I wish I’d thought of first. Some come from me staring out of a window, walking in nature, reading, or just scribbling in an old-school notebook.
In many ways, I’m deeply traditional. I like things I can touch like books, leaves, rain. I like to be in nature and enjoy the silence. But I also want to understand the world we’re stepping into. The AI one. The fast, dizzying, sometimes ridiculous one. I don’t want to be that person decades from now, squinting at a screen and saying “kids these days.” I want to get it. Or at least try to.
I feel lucky to have lived a childhood that involved mud, mangoes, and scraped knees, and now, to witness this wild new world where I can type a sentence and create a universe.
Things evolve. That’s just nature doing its thing. And I’m here for it confused sometimes, curious always.
