Artificial Music: My predictions on how AI will shape music
I foresee a marked deterioration in American music and musical taste… in this twentieth century come these talking and playing machines that offer to reduce the expression of music to a mathematical system of megaphones, wheels, cogs, discs, cylinders and all manner of revolving things. John Philip Sousa, a legendary American composer and conductor, in…
Bloganuary – Day 10
It will sound really weird, but growing up, I was most attached to my pen. I am chuckling as I begin to write this because it was not any special pen. In fact, it was a series of pens that I liked – with each being a favourite in different phases of my life. They…
Bloganuary – Day 9
I grew up an ambitious person. I have talked more about my ambition in a previous post before, but I love context so I will elaborate a bit more. Growing up in an income-constrained family in a tier 3 city in a not-so-developed part of India, I saw my father start a business, leaving his…
Bloganuary – Day 8
I am freaking scared. A few months back, I tuned into an episode of the podcast called The Seen and The Unseen. In this particular episode, they discussed about how and why the Indian government brought in certain pension reforms, primarily moving from a defined benefits scheme to a defined contributions one. Apart from being…
Bloganuary – Day 5
I thought I had a very cut-and-dry answer to this. My instinctive answer to this was: I definitely spend more time thinking about the future than dwelling on the past. For the simple reason that I cannot change anything about my past, but I can change my present and future. But I asked ChatGPT to…
Bloganuary – Day 4
Their approval? Just kidding. Or am I? Let me take a quasi-analytical approach to this question. I define gift as anything that provides me value without me having to pay any cost for it. It doesn’t exclude gifts from relationships and so therefore you have a social contract in place already. You may repay (or…
Bloganuary – Day 3
This is a kind of prompt that isn’t really helpful to me at all. Prompts like these are harder to write for me, because in any real-life situation where by the way, this is a very legitimate conversation starter, I would end up with a factual dry answer: I studied at IIT Kanpur. Sometimes if…
Bloganuary: Day 2
Do you play in your daily life? What says “playtime” to you? With an intent to write a lot more this year, I am diving head-first into this Bloganuary trend. Let’s see how long I can keep this up. Oh, this one is fun. If you ask this question to people I know, they’ll lose…
Mastering Competitive Intelligence: Overcoming Challenges in B2B SaaS Product Marketing
In my experience, a lot of B2B product marketing effort hinges on a good competitive intelligence (CI) program. However, with fast-growing and/or large-ish companies with 50+ sellers or a 400+ headcount company, there are many common issues that can slow down or hinder the effectiveness of a good CI program, no matter how deeply you…
Action Goals: What Guitar Lessons Have Taught Me About Goal-Setting At Work
I bought my first serious guitar in 2017. After about a year of dabbling with guitar on my own, learning chords and songs from YouTube lessons and other paid courses online, I started guitar lessons with a guitar instructor. Since then, and especially with my latest guitar instructor, I have picked up and honed a…
