“Bagels need to be bagel-y”

-Me (Varun Sundar)


Yes. That is an actual quote by me. Needless to say, I am not here to pontificate or espouse something.

I do however feel that the world is changing as it always has. With people fretting over the rise of machines and a potential Skynet situation, it is important to review what we know and retrain ourselves. I like the idea of being a learning machine (as suggested by Charlie Munger and Warren Buffett) to get acclimated to the changing world around us.

My Background

I like to learn about things that interest me when I am not at my day job. This website itself is a kind of Learning Experiment. I learned how to build Web Applications using PHP online. After which I decided to learn how to create a WordPress website through WordPress documentation and some YouTube videos. I figured it is best to learn about creating and maintaining a website by actually working on one. You can find posts related to learning, time management, personal finances, and a lot more. Because I like to keep learning, the topics on this website would cover a wider range with time.

If you are someone who looks at learning as a lifelong journey rather than “something you do in school”, you would find this website to be useful.

Read all the posts that can help you learn better and if you have any comments or suggestions, email me.
