My 2026 Reading Plan
How I read, plus what I read
My Predictions for 2026
The first thing you should know is that the more things change, the more they remain the same. Let’s jump into my predictions for the year; these are not empirical nor backed by science. They are just backed by my intuition. NVIDIA will have a big year. My reasoning for this is thus: This will …
What I Read in 2025
Reading is one of the things I really enjoy doing. When I finish a good book, I get into a sorry state because I rarely want it to end. I also read like no other. I can spend hours on one page, as I pause to check the internet for something referenced on the page, …
On Keith McNally’s Book
McNally touches on something crucial that we all face; the hypocrisy of the double lives we all lead. We’re all known (and sometimes celebrated) publicly for things that stand in stark contrast to our truest desires and private wishes.

Previously, people lived together as a way to preserve clans and family relationships. Parents betrothed their children to their friends, and when these …
Quick one on Music and Albums
I was watching a podcast recently and one of the questions was “what was the first album you ever bought”. It was a question that got me thinking because the first album I ever bought had a funny story behind it. I went to the market and went music store to music store looking for …
The Best Product Managers

I was trying to show him a path to growth and how we can become better at his job and in doing …
