Sitting at the bar

While sitting at the corner of a bar,
Looking at the mirror seeing a past full of scar,
Gulping whiskey to get thoughts and reality at par,
Lost among strangers while surviving the brutality of a never ending internal war.

He asks the bartender for another drink,
Maybe this might help him think.
Consciously trying to figure out the reason why he was at this place,
When he spot her dressed in satin and white lace.

He skipped a heartbeat,
And perspires as if there was tremendous heat.
He tried to get up to talk,
But he trembled and fumbled before he could even walk.
She looked at him with a smile on her face
Before she walked out and left with complete grace.

He continued sitting at the corner of the bar,
Looking at the mirror spikes a strand of his hair.
Gulping whiskey to get his excitement and reality at par,
Lost among the drunkards, he felt like a lone star.

Why India Hasn’t Built Its GPT Moment (Yet)

India has the world’s third-largest startup ecosystem, a thriving developer base, and a mobile-first population larger than the US and Europe combined. Yet, no GPT-4. No DeepMind. No Amazon-style platform. Why? Innovation Isn’t Accidental—It’s Engineered The Zerodha Daily Brief recently asked why India hasn’t built a global product company like Apple. The key argument: India isn’t building for the world. It’s solving for local constraints, scale, and affordability—but global scale requires deep IP, design, and tech differentiation. It’s not just about software, it’s about systems thinking. More importantly, it answers the question: Why do countries innovate? The answer isn’t just genius or ambition—it’s incentives and ecosystems. The U.S. Defense Department, for example, accounted for nearly 70% of federal R&D funding during the Cold War. China has pumped billions into semiconductors and AI with long-term national alignment. These aren’t short-term bets—they are strategic, delibe...

Problems with mysql.sock

Sometimes while working on Linux, mysql.sock may get deleted by mistake due to some softwares.. in such cases any access to mysql wont be possible as the sock file defines the socket connection for mysql. It will give an error of the following type: ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) In such cases follow these steps to reconfigure mysql: Delete the log files with the names: ib_logfile0, ib_logfile1 and ibdata1 in the /var/lib/mysql directory Then type: "mysqld_safe --user=mysql &" This will automatically create mysql.sock file and even the new logs files. This is a very simple solution which I used recently and decided to share with you people.
