Remarkably Bright Creatures if you want something bright and sweet, yet thoughtful, and you like octopuses

Thanks so much for the suggestions, everyone! We went to the one in new tippasandra (cute, small) and Ulsoor (super traditional and nice). Ate some chicken-egg rolls and lucchi kosha. Fun times were had! Pictured is the Ulsoor pandal with beautiful hand drawn decorations.
Bengalis of Bengaluru, what are some good pujo pandals around Indiranagar / Koramangala / Ulsoor with good food stalls and vibes??

I’ve been mixing my flavoured creatine in my isabgol (call it my creabgol), it’s a win win. Nice tasting isabgol and a stacked habit that ensures I don’t miss creatine.

Pretty doc that Claude generates for pretty much anything, with a shareable link. And now people can also comment and collaborate on it

Saying “send me an html” will now make you sound like a dinosaur, it’s now “send me an artefact”.
What’s a phrase you’ve never heard in corporate life until 2026 and it’s suddenly everywhere? “Send me an html”

Slomotion is amazing. So comfortable I’d actually consider wearing them on a trip.

I explored upper middle class family life in Benin, Kiribati, Chile. A fun way to learn something about another part of the world’s culture, economy, way of life.

Discovered a fun exercise with chatgpt- give it a description of your (or any familiar) family - demographics, professions, type of house etc, and ask it to describe a comparable family’s life in <insert any country>

This generation has been let down by authorities consistently and repeatedly to a point where they have no hope. Reaction is to “scold” them for using bad language? How did anyone think this is a good idea.

If the PM and his team had kids or even interacted with Gen Z in good faith for 2 days in a row, they would realise how cringe and tone deaf the new Instagram reels are. The defining trait of Gen-Z is that they dgaf about authority.

On the good end of the spectrum to use Claude extensively, though it’s not a good look if one can’t defend their work and says “Claude said so”
