Welcome

Hey there, I'm Jay Gurav — and this is my blog, a.k.a. my online notepad with delusions of grandeur.

Here, I share ideas, stories, and reflections from my journey through work, life, and whatever rabbit hole I’ve recently fallen into. From curious thoughts and half-baked experiments to personal insights and unexpected discoveries, it’s all part of the mix. Some posts might make you think; others might make you wonder, "Why did he even write this?" —but either way, I’m glad you’re here. Might as well scroll a bit, with a strong cup of coffee and a healthy dose of curiosity.

Read at your own risk.
