A Day in my Life

Some things that I consistently do

• Reading for ideas
• Coding for feasibility
• Survey Competitive products
• Sometimes distraction of x,y,z finally like the 'z' concept
• Analytics / Data driven posts on economy, inflation, policies, politics :), Am i too Leftist :)
• Useless social media / Youtube ghost hunting
• Back to basics for teaching
• Late night drive....

My Daily Chores....

Keep Thinking!!!

Friends over Facebook

How many do I meet daily
How many do I share my views
How many I call up as moral support
How many I have as FYI
How many will regret/care if I am at a loss
Can I support them with time and care
Am i setting up for failure
Did I benefit/care for them
If I cannot manage my time, What's the point of number of friends. Zero or 1 both mean the same...

Keep Thinking!!!

Life is short

Aspects of Relationship

The people we meet are interesting and engaging but beyond a certain point words and actions are not consistent
Our parents know everything and they have guided us all along still we have discussions where we differ in their views
In such a scenario, it would take meaningful time to really understand relationships
Dopamine effect vs Realistic match of relationship vs emotional needs vs day to day differences

Life is brutal yet Life needs a gut to move on.

Challenges at Different Levels - Different Data Science Backlogs

FAANG

• FAANG Companies have no shortage of data, more data and really loads of streaming, insights, all types of clicks
• Model complexity and large scale training deployment are your challenges

Domain (Automotive / Retail) 

• Companies adopting Data Models
• Companies aiming for DBT
• The challenges in Data Science where you are ahead of data collection, data maturity is different
• Data Collection, Engaging and Selling Data Science usecase becomes elementary
• Mid to small scale models deployed based on business needs

Learning at both places is different. Challenges are different.

You can specialize in multiple areas

• NLP  
• Vision  
• Recommendations
• Forecasting
• Anamoly Detection

Business knowledge + Feature knowledge + Impact + Selling + Building + Deploying is a never-ending learning curve :)

Regrets / Mistakes / Gratitude

Sometimes it's best to ignore than to respond
Sometimes its best to see what others don't see
Sometimes good intentions can be kept quiet by someone who cannot understand
Sometimes its better to forget than to carry with you
Sometimes it's best to remember good days than regret bad days
Somes a good food and a few hours of sleep is all we need
Life is short, Forget and Live now...

Keep Going!!!

Find your strengths

Your skill could be solving a problem but with a slow-paced approach
You may bring different perspectives or alternative solutions
You may not be the smartest to communicate or connect
Your strength could be patience and focus
Your strength could be learning and collecting ideas
Your strength could be patience in tough times
Your strength is willing to fail and face/accept problems as they are
You don't care for the loss of money but rely on your beliefs
You are a lone warrior even if you end up being alone
Run at your own pace, Be better than your previous version

Keep Going!!!

Practice, Practice, Practice

• Learning something in 30 days is exposure / learning
• Practising something for 60 days is experience / applied learning
• Solving something on your own after learning is competency
• Intent vs Action are different
• Exposure vs Experience is different
• Competency vs Communication both are different

Keep Thinking!!!

Life

• Find Fact vs Truth
• Wish to believe vs What is Truth
• Love is wise, Hatred is Foolish

Keep Thinking!!!

How much we prepare for future

• How do we improve on lives of underprivileged
• How we build good skills / good education system
• How service-minded vs materialistic careers are viewed
• What keeps rising costs in check
• How we provide affordable education
• How we reduce crime/corruption

A lot of work has to be done if we have to live in peace. Leaders who think of it will have sleepless nights. Leaders who care for their families will sleep peacefully.

Keep Thinking!!!
