About Venkat

Thanks for visiting my blog. I’m a generalist at heart, who’s curious about how the world works, whether through technology, philosophy, creativity, or nature. I explore those topics through readings, podcasts, travel, and photography.

Best of the week

Each week, I curate the most interesting articles, podcasts, and ideas I’ve come across. From tech and philosophy to productivity and culture, it’s a mix of whatever sparked my curiosity. It is a highlight reel for the intellectually curious.

Hikes

Stay up to date with new content sent straight to your inbox! No more worrying about whether you missed something because of a pesky algorithm or news feed.

Travel

I'll share stories, itineraries, tips, and reflections from my travels. Whether you’re planning a trip or just daydreaming, I hope you find something helpful or inspiring.

Photography

Through my camera, I try to capture those moments of stillness, scale, and wonder that nature offers. Follow me as I try to find the perfect composition and light.

Book notes

I make notes while reading books and will post book notes for noteworthy books I've read. I hope to help others who want a quick summary, decide if they should read a book or revisit a book they have already read.
