Hi Guys!
It's been a wonderful year for me and when I look back I see so so many things which wouldn't have happened if it was not for this blog!
Blogging about things I love, things I am exploring and keeping everyone posted on my experiments and adventures gives me a lot more motivation than just scribbling thoughts in some journal, though I do keep a journal;P
I have been working day and night on things which I decided to learn this year and as this year passes by, I find myself diving even deeper into the toolkit and yet again, somehow everything seems to fall in the right place.
Right now, I am working almost exclusively on JavaScript with some combination of Jupyter for documenting the entire process but I love CoffeeScript for the sheer cleanliness of it's syntax. I keep experimenting with the UnderscoreJS library and this past month or so. A wonderful resource for JavaScript libraries that anyone dealing with the Web would find useful is JavaScripting.
You know, I used to think that even sharing the slightest bit of the idea with anyone would lead to a "rat-race" like situation but as I read from the ones who have "been-there-done-it" already, I am learning to become much less paranoid about such possibilities.
So, I'd like to tell you guys this much that what I am working on can compete LinkedIn, YCombinator, Angel.co and even some portion of Kickstarter! And trust me, I can pretty confidently tell you that if I work hard then I can pretty much retire by 30. All this involves a heavy ( "heavy!) use of Visualizations as well. And that's my dream, to retire and live a life like Tim Ferriss - do every freaking thing I can dream of. Of course, as I summarized in my previous post - I am absolutely in love with Physics, Mathematics, Linguistics and Computers but hey, these are all intellectual pursuits, aren't they. And if I were to stay limited to only these then would I have truly lived at all?
I think, that's not a good life, sure a dedicated life but not a good life. My idea of a good life is to achieve my full potential as a human being, something that agrees with my values. So, as you know by now, that I am big on Music, Exercise and Arts, so then why would I limit myself to only the Intellectual Pursuits. I love to write and I have a few interesting ideas which I plan to put down on paper. So, yes - I am happily busy;)
Wish you all a very Happy New Year!
