What Did I Write, and What Did I Learn in March 2024?

March was a good month for yours truly, because despite a fair bit of travel, I managed to post every single day (yay for me!).

  1. My number one learning for the month of March,2024 was that if you are a cricket fan, you absolutely should go and see a test match at Dharmshala if you get the opportunity. It’s not like I have been to all the stadiums in the world (hell, I haven’t been to all the test match venues in India, not by a long shot) – but I find it difficult to imagine that there is a more picturesque stadium than this one. It’s a long ol’ trip, but trust me, it is worth it.
  2. Prompt engineering is a skill worth learning, regardless of your age and profession. I cannot wait for Ethan Mollick’s book to land, and you should pre-order it. Check out the website in the meantime.
  3. Green, red and Zomato. This is my take.
  4. My reflections on Paul Graham’s essay on, well, the best essay (with a bit of Pirsig for company)
  5. My reflections on a book, a chart, a blogpost and a book on Foxconn and its factory in Tamil Nadu. This is a topic I hope to think and write about (and read about!) much more in 2024.
  6. I conducted a train the teacher program in Goa, and had a lot of fun. I also learnt about the latent demand for teaching how to use AI in the classroom.
  7. What links Satyakam (the movie) and RCT’s in Kenya? This blogpost does.
  8. If you’ve ever been to Dharamshala and McLeodganj, Devon’s Twitter thread will resonate with you.
  9. I hope to become a better photographer, and I found this video very helpful. It is about being a better photographer if you’re using your smartphone. Perhaps you will too.
  10. Weird pick, and not so much because of when the post was written (in February), but because of the date it is about (1st of April) – Sidin on why our financial year begins on the 1st of April.

I’ll be back after (hopefully) 30 posts in April 2024.
