My 6 AM used to look very different.

Goldman Sachs days meant skipping breakfast.
Grabbing coffee. Running to meetings.

Fitness was something I'd start "next Monday."

Then I switched to Microsoft.
New job. New routine opportunity.

I started with one change.
Waking up 30 minutes earlier for a proper breakfast.

Protein Shake after a quick workout.
Nothing fancy. Just consistency.

Three months in, I feel different.
More energy during standup meetings.
Less afternoon crashes.
Better focus during code reviews.

Small routines compound.

MuscleBlaze Biozyme became part of that reset.
MB's clinically tested and US patented 50% higher absorption means my body actually uses what I consume.

Your mornings set your entire day.

What's one morning habit that changed your life?

The scary part about AI isn’t that it writes code.

It’s that it ships products faster than engineers do.

In 2026, the engineers who stand out won’t just “use AI.”
They’ll orchestrate it end-to-end.

That means:

॰ Shipping production AI apps with tools like Replit instead of months of scaffolding.

॰ Running autonomous AI agents that execute tasks without constant human input.

॰ Automating painful legacy workflows most  companies still do manually.

॰ Wiring AI through real APIs, auth, retries, secrets, and infra.

॰ Designing prompts that work across text, image, audio, and video

॰ Training models on private enterprise data, not generic internet examples

This isn’t prompt engineering hype.
This is systems engineering,  just at a new layer.

At Microsoft scale, AI isn’t a feature.
It’s infrastructure.

And the engineers who learn how to ship AI, not just talk about it,
will quietly replace entire workflows.

The stack has changed.
Are you building on it?

I was travelling to Goa last week and my flight got delayed.
It was a last-minute trip, and I barely had time to plan anything.

While sitting in the airport lounge, I was once again trying to make an itinerary,
scrolling through Instagram, opening saved reels, and hopping between apps.

And that's when I realized that making an itinerary is the least fun part of the trip for frequent travellers like me.

Endless scrolling through saved reels, “must-visit” posts, café recommendations,
trying to turn Instagram inspiration into a real, workable plan
and still feeling like you’re missing out.

I wished I had an app that could just understand my preferences
and curate a travel plan for me based on my interests, budget, instagrammable spots, food choices, and trending places included.

I still had some time at the airport.
So I thought, why not build this for myself?

I opened Replit and described this idea in plain English.
No writing code.
No setup.
Just explaining what I wanted to build.

What came out was a working travel planner that:

Creates a day-wise itinerary based on my interests
Suggests trending places people actually visit
Recommends areas to stay based on vibe and budget
Links out to flight searches all in one flow

The video below is a quick demo of what I built.

Replit genuinely changed how I think about building ideas.

You don’t need to sit down and write code to bring something to life anymore.
You just need clarity about the problem you want to solve and the ability to describe it well.

Replit takes care of turning that clarity into something real.

Sometimes, all it takes is a delayed flight and an idea.

Some nights, the world keeps moving.

And you're still figuring out how to make it all work.

For Jyoti, that meant learning crypto while raising a newborn. Late nights. Small windows. Just finding moments for herself and her ambition in between everything else.

This film doesn't need to be loud. It's honest. It's relatable. And it reminded me that slowing down, paying attention, and telling stories with care can make even the smallest moments feel epic.

The brand hand-crafted this animation with real artists, no AI shortcuts. That patience shows in every frame, just like Jyoti's journey.

She's one of the 2 Crore+ Indians living inspiring crypto stories with CoinDCX proving that persistence and quiet determination can create real impact.

Stories like this? They connect because they're kind, they're real, and they see us.

Have you ever found your ambition in the quietest hours?

I laughed. Then I reread it. Then I checked the comments again. 

Jethani Ji believes 5 vada pavs = daily protein goals, thanks to an influencer she follows “religiously.”

At this point, I’m not even judging. I just want the reveal. Who is after all this?

Supertails using the loneliness market to promote pet adoption was not on my 2026 bingo card.

But here we are.

I spotted this at a Bangalore bus stand and had to stop for a second.

“Run clubs won’t help you escape loneliness.”
“Going home feeling lonely again?”

No guilt.
No sad puppy eyes.
Just a line that hits exactly where New Year emotions live.

What’s smart about this from a marketing POV 👇

• New Year = peak loneliness, and they leaned into it honestly
• Humour over preaching — you smile first, then the message lands
• Autos as moving media → local, unavoidable, very Bangalore
• Bus shelters as daily touchpoints → read in 2 seconds, remember all day
• QR code → ethical shelter funnel, not a feel-good dead end

And the best part?

This doesn’t feel like purpose washing.

Supertails partnered with CARE, so the creativity actually leads somewhere meaningful.

Only in Bangalore does your auto ride remind you that situationships won’t fix loneliness —
but a pet just might.

This is how social impact should be done:
Warm.
Local.
Non-preachy.
And smart enough to earn attention without begging for it.

Curious to see more brands use OOH like this, insight first, message second.

What’s the smartest offline campaign you’ve seen in Bangalore recently?

I didn’t expect a newspaper to challenge my instincts today.

Not because of a headline.
But because of a comparison.

Two photos printed side by side.
No logos. 
No context. 

One was from a competing phone.
One from the REDMI Note 15.

And most people guessed it wrong.

Not because it was misleading.
But because when details are done right, you don’t need to explain them.

What stood out to me wasn’t just the photo quality.
It was the confidence behind putting this on print.

Most brands play safe with comparisons.
Xiaomi didn’t.

They let the image do the talking.
And trusted the audience to decide.

No loud promises.
Just proof.

That’s how you make a move, REDMI Note 15 🙌

This didn’t look like a smartphone ad.
So I stopped scrolling.

A front-page newspaper visual for the REDMI Note 15 Pro Series that felt almost uncomfortable in how real it looked.

No glossy studio lighting.
No fancy setup.

Just a phone shown like it actually gets used.

And that is exactly why it worked.

We have seen the same smartphone ad a hundred times. Perfect glass. Perfect reflections. Perfect colors that only exist inside a studio. This one broke that pattern. It felt raw. Honest. Almost like the brand was saying, here is the phone, judge it yourself.

The proof was right there in the image.

You could see the camera performance without anyone telling you about megapixels. The detail, the clarity, the way the scene held together. It did not need a caption to explain itself.

And you could feel the durability. The phone was not being protected or hidden. It was placed in a situation where most brands would get nervous. That kind of visual only happens when you trust what you have built.

That is very REDMI Note.

For years, they have leaned into capability over claims. The MasterPixel camera line has always been about showing, not shouting. This visual felt like that philosophy, just turned up a notch.

More see for yourself.
Less believe us.

I am genuinely curious to see how the REDMI Note 15 Pro Series performs in real life, because when a brand puts this much on the line in a single image, it usually means they are confident it will hold up.
