In 1997, as a self-doubting college student, I was euphoric to have the Indian Express publish my full-page article. That first byline remains a fond memory in my writing journey—something that still puts a smile on my face.

The surprises continued when, in 2002, my article "Equals & Hashcode in Java" ended up being referenced by the University of Pennsylvania and in Hibernate documentation. I'm still not entirely sure how they found it, but as a junior developer at the time, seeing my suggested technical approach valued by these giants was quite encouraging.

Meanwhile, I have three blogs that often wonder if I've forgotten about them. The truth is, I only write when an idea haunts me or when the world's absurdity becomes too much to bear silently. It's not about volume but rather about having something worthwhile to say. More often, writing is my way of trying to get clarity through the messy, indistinct chatter in my head.

A couple of years ago, paid writing opportunities found their way to me, which prompted this curation of highlights from my work. What you'll find here is a modest collection: technical articles for multiple startup products, musings on work and life from MyZenPath.com, and a few literary pieces including magazine articles and poems. Just a handful of writings that might resonate or prove useful, rather than an exhaustive portfolio. Feel free to browse whatever interests you, though don't blame me if you fall down a rabbit hole or two along the way. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
