My FIFA2026 WC bracket game now includes: A late entry bracket option with lower scores for groups. Make your picks till Round 3 starts. Also shipped daily updates of positions and scores of your bracket. Try it out? P.S: First @Lovable project with 100 visitors!

Despite a topsy turvy Arsenal season, some super exciting Malayalam movies and a lot of fun travel plans, my feed has been dead and I have been missing from here. Trying my luck once to change that. I have been building projects for fun on the side with AI. No points for guessing that I went straight to board games when I got my first shot at this. Meet Meepleverse : A place to discover board games, learn about them, plan game nights with friends, and track your gaming history. Was super fun to think of different components like gamifying user profiles with badges, creating game night invites and of course just basic things like game ingestion through APIs. I put down money for @Lovable almost a year ago during my first tinkering session, thought I was near the end of my first project, realized I was so far later. Kept tinkering, kept making errors, kept running away when work (or vacations) came calling. Lovable kept getting better and so did I. Finally decided that I should put whatever version is that I have out there. This is the most complete thing I've shipped for fun. Would love for some of you to give it a try. Here is an invite link as well, please be kind :). discovernewboardgames.lovabl… Despite my fears in front of the camera, I made a small walkthrough video as well. loom.com/share/b5aa782b54a34…

Meepleverse isn't the only thing I've been building. Tried my luck with a few other such fun quirky and fun projects at home: 1. PantryPal : A way to keep up with your pantry by scanning your shopping bag and see your pantry categorized neatly on your phone. Reminds you of when you stocked what, when things expire and the unhealthy stuff you maybe eating unknowingly. Also, restock by clicking and adding stuff to your cart on your favourite quick commerce app. Invite others from your household and so on. 2. MealMatch: A tinder like experience for households with wildly different food preferences. Run a poll to track food preferences over time, know what's popular in the household and rally others to get your favourite food on your plate. Started because I heard from a mother that she could no longer track what her child likes/dislikes :D . All just fun projects, nothing serious, nothing monetized. Just because I can finally build all the weird things I could think of!

Spent the last 2 weeks in Middle Earth aka New Zealand. Amazing country that gives you a taste of natural beauty and memorable experiences. We drove 3700 KMs over 12 days across both islands to marvel at nature and get up close with unique wildlife (Penguins, Albatross, Whales!)

Was special to see the effort that communities are making to preserve safe living spaces for species that are slowly finding it difficult to co-habit the planet. We saw Kiwis, Penguin nests (2 different types), Giant Albatross nests and Whales, besides dolphins putting on a show
