Weekly Notes 27/2025

I realized I was not listening to podcasts that I usually would. I have downloaded PocketCasts to fix that. I have also downloaded the X and Tusky app for Android to access X and Mastodon. Thus ends my social media detox.

What I’m reading?

  1. Education is free, Learning is expensive by Seth Godin
  • “If knowledge was power, controlling access was essential.”
  • “They even call it the ‘admissions office.’”

2. On SpaceNews going paywalled, and the broader disregard for archiving in journalism by Jatan Mehta

I read Doc Searls’ blog post about the subweb only two days back and now to be bought into my own space world so quickly is sad to see.

3. Six Paths by Vishwesh Shetty (Qissa Comics)

4. Build an Epic Career by Ankur Warikoo

What I’m watching?

Matt D’Avella is someone I started following when I was into minimalism. Good to see that he is still trying to hang in there.

I have been trying to explore solarpunk and lunarpunk themes in my story writing. I haven’t written much this year. That’s something I hope to fix at this year’s NaNoWriMo.

I’m seeing many finance YouTubers and podcast hosts talk about cryptocurrency again in India. Most of the stuff that I have watched had been sponsored by the cryptocurrency exchange, CoinDCX. Another cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, which had decided to not comply with India’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) guidelines for cryptocurrency exchanges and had left India is also returning with a India Blockchain Yatra.

Mukesh Bansal’s solocast on fasting.

Madhu Kela, knowingly or unknowingly says in this podcast, “China is an autocracy, India is a bureaucracy”, although he corrects it to democracy before he completes.

Storytelling in Malayalam

My Instagram watch time is also growing. I might add things I watched from there as well, starting next week.
