I visualized my weight changes throughout 2009, documenting a drop from 74kg to 66kg before it trended back up to 72kg. I use these simple line charts to monitor the long-term effectiveness of my dieting.
I’m moving away from rapid dieting toward a slow, sustainable weight loss plan. My approach focuses on losing 1kg monthly through mindful eating, stocking healthy foods, and incorporating simple habits like taking the stairs instead of the elevator.
I reflect on how fear drives the creation of bloated, unread consulting proposals. By admitting ignorance and prioritizing brevity, I argue that "less is more" actually preserves focus and prevents the professional stagnation caused by corporate fluff.
I recount my grueling two-round interview experience with Boston Consulting Group. Despite handling complex case studies on cement and food processing, I was ultimately rejected for a "lack of structure," a vital lesson for any aspiring consultant.
I used The Hacker’s Diet principles to build an interactive visualization of calorie density versus price. Using Tesco data, I found that custards and jellies are surprisingly better high-volume snacks than most cereals.
I spent years hand-transcribing every Calvin and Hobbes strip to build a searchable text index. After a massive traffic spike from Reddit and MetaFilter, I received a copyright takedown notice and had to remove the archive.

Hi Anand,
Not sure you will recall. This is Saiprasad ( Sai) was your neighbour at " The Presidency", TISL way back in 1996-97. I always knew you were a genius and a man of many talents. I had chanced upon your site sometime ago but while I was trying to get some facts on Ilaiyaraja chanced upon the section of Ilaiyaraja. I didnt pay attention to the name of the author as I approached midway realised this must be the handiwork of Anand and as I cast my eyes upwards found my guess was on the dot. Good work Buddy. May you continue to shine like you always do. I am still with IBM. My contact no is 9886678319. Realise you are in London. I was there too for a couple of years on a sales assignment. Now back to Blore. Shall write again. do write when you can. Take care…. Sai
