Welcome to this eclectic group Avani! Fellow Bangalorean here (& lurker on this group)...new-ish part of the city (towards the airport), but I almost always make it to Silk meetups. In fact Udhay & I were just discussing about another BLR session. Last time we got to see Udhay & Julian jam on some cool tracks at Julian's lovely place.
I read SciFi (a lot!) & collect graphic novels (mostly SFF and textbooks). When time permits I assist my son with his comic(s) making efforts, and cooking (mostly Kannada cuisine). Currently building two exciting things: - a learning engine to facilitate AI-augmented employability in STEM fields (for India): memebu.com/listing - a data / AI collaborative platform for computational neuroscience researchers: neuropeek.com Fascinating to read about others' obsessions and interests here.
