Ender 3

Mon, 06 Oct 2025 10:03:49 +0530

An Ender 3 is the rite of passage for all 3D Printing enthusiasts. Yes a Bambu lab may be refined, convenient and clean but to become the ultimate hobbyist and maker one must burn their hands cleaning the clogged extruder of an Ender 3. One must blow more money on repairs than the actual cost of the printer in order to get it running.

Aloo Tikki

Mon, 31 Jul 2023 11:19:53 +0530

Its the conflicting flavours, red caramelized chutney with its heavy spicy taste and the green, sour tangy refreshing coriander chutney. The hot tikki just out of the wok, straight into some chilled yoghurt. A contrast of temperature. The depth and texture of the brown deep fried tikki being contrasted by the homogenous white yoghurt. On top it may be graced by a salad dressing, of chopped onions, cabbage and pomegranate further producing opposition to the deep fried carbohydrates of the tikki.

Music Reaction Channels

In the recent years, music reaction channels on YouTube have become quite a thing. These channels mainly react to forms of alternative music such as rock, metal and other genres that like to go with the “its not pop music” identity.

College

A series of (incoherent) thoughts I have had since joining college.

The curriculum is merely a carcass every student is assigned to drag behind them for the next four years of their life. Even the administration knows this, and they don’t put too much effort into not letting the world know about it.
Exams and academics only exist to provide a goal to those who don’t have a purpose to live up to (yet).
Extra-curricular activities exist, yet as a curriculum themselves. The creative outlet of extra-curricular activities is just reduced to gaining credentials to add after ones name on their resume. Perhaps a form of totalitarianism, imposed by their political correctness. Giving us the freedom to have such collectives yet also prioritizing our careers and placements. Making it much harder to rebel against them. It is easy to rebel against tyranny but tough to rebel against the conformism enforced by the very freedom of choice. It is tough to realise when some granted freedoms of extra-curricular activities become the slaveries of imposed curriculum. This brings me to the question, shall we ever be truly free ? I tried to fit in, in fact if it has been noticed this webpage was reskinned (shall I say stripped of skin, or soul). For the purposes of looking more professional, to be more squared for professional life I had butchered my own creativity. Now that I have realised the status quo, I am no longer afraid of offending people by merely being not squared. This is some paranoia
