What I am doing NOW.

Observe closely. Write honestly. Trust slowly.

This isn’t a map of what I’ve made. It’s where my attention has actually gone this week — into five stories, a server that still argues with me most mornings, and a nursery full of plants that answer to nobody.

Reading

Kabir Vaidya — Season 3. Season 3 has begun. This time, I have attempted to elevate the witness stance, allowing readers to see more closely through the eyes of those who notice what others overlook. The situations and plots promise to be genuine thought-stirrers, with questions that may linger long after the mystery ends.

Come, Sit — Just Ask — Season 2. We are midway through Season 2, continuing to explore what AI is and what it means in our everyday lives. The Reflect interludes are worth preserving, and the Walking Maps, I believe, deserve a place in a frame on your work desk. They invite us to revisit a thought rather than simply move on to the next one.

STILLS — Season 2. STILLS continues to hold up fascinating social mirrors, inviting readers to pause, ponder and reflect. Some of these stories are quietly profound. They may stay with you far longer than you expect.

What Remains — The Story Exhibition · Made in Ahmedabad. This festive season, I have opened a Story Exhibition called What Remains — Made in Ahmedabad. Five stories, each holding a different part of a question that has stayed with me: what remains with us after the moment itself has passed? I have tried to give each story a setting in which the reader can linger, rather than hurry through. Some are tender, some ask more difficult things of us, and I hope each leaves something worth carrying home.

Building

The House architecture has become more stable. I have spent countless hours trying to understand the technology behind it, although, at this stage of my life, it remains a formidable challenge. I am making a sincere effort to learn and do my best. Much of this journey is a solitary one, but my passion for writing and for sharing what I learn continues to guide me. It is a strong, healthy source of motivation, and one that keeps me going.

Tending

Demai Greens — Living Gardens. At our nursery, we are developing a concept we call Living Gardens: creating extraordinary atmospheres for memorable events using thousands of flowering and ornamental plants. Rather than merely decorating a venue, the idea is to bring a living garden into the guest experience — something immersive, beautiful and memorable. A great deal of effort has already gone into it, and I hope it takes shape as we imagine. After all, we are working with nature. Nature has its own script, one that neither machines nor our minds can entirely control.

Around the House

Doors for reading.

If you’ve read this far, perhaps you’re no longer just passing through.

My home on the web is just around the corner. Wander in. Notice something. Stay as long as you like.

And if you ever find yourself in Ahmedabad, there is a real home too. The invitation works there just as well.
