Hello All,
Today I am writing my 130th Newsletter,
Reflecting on my journey, I’ve explored so many paths—researching, working 9 to 5, education, homeschooling, unschooling, alternative learning, parenting and traveling.
Each experience has shaped me, keeping me curious and engaged.
Now, as my son explores AI and coding, I’m diving into that world alongside him.
You won’t be the same person you once were.
Life’s shifts and challenges shape us, and connecting with who we once were can feel like looking at a stranger.
Creators evolve with this same fluidity. It’s not just natural; it’s essential.
Many find themselves adapting and shifting over time, often changing direction to explore new ideas and approaches.
This freedom to evolve, to experiment, is where growth truly happens.
Each creator deserves this independence—to adapt, create, and be their most genuine self.
I have realised that there are multiple ways to live,
we stop exploring, we stop asking questions for some reason.

Here is a tool that can read your mind
Arnav Kapur, a Delhi-born MIT student, has pioneered an innovation that might seem straight out of science fiction: a headset named AlterEgo, capable of mind-reading.
While we’re used to interacting with tech through touch or voice, AlterEgo allows users to communicate internally—no speaking, no typing, just thought.
How AlterEgo Works
Introduced in 2018, AlterEgo uses bone conduction technology to facilitate interaction.
The headset enables silent dialogue with machines, transforming private thoughts into action, without traditional auditory interference.
By detecting subtle neuromuscular signals, it translates a user’s internal speech into commands, effectively creating a “closed-loop” communication with digital assistants like Google
Quote to inspire.
Traveling to learn
Adi and I recently spent 79 unforgettable days traveling through various places, meeting diverse people, and exploring alternative learning centers.
Each day brought new adventures: trying out unique modes of transportation, sampling different cuisines, and embracing the highs and lows of travel.
Some days were comfortable and easygoing, while others tested our resilience.
Through every experience—whether exhilarating or challenging—we grew, learned, and built memories that shaped a wholesome journey.
