#### 2018 ¬

• A cool intuitive explanation of why the theorem says something non-trivial, courtesy Prof Isaac Chuang

• A different side of the city of Bangkok, and why you should think twice before visiting a tiger park

• A quick tour through the problem of binary search with lies allowed (the Ulam game) and adaptive block codes.

• Some puzzles I made for Science Coffeehouse to celebrate April Fools Day

• The beautiful music of the dying notes of the Maihar band

• A short(ish) introduction to quantum complexity, because I am studying cool stuff and wanted to share it!

#### 2017 ¬

• Following in the footsteps of Pradosh C. Mitter on the Sonar Kella journey

• Questions and solutions that I made as leader of Science Coffeehouse for SnT Code, a puzzle-solving event in Takneek, the technical fest of IIT Kanpur.

• Writing after a long time on one of the most interesting, challenging, fun but extremely busy semesters that I have had. Which also happens to have three courses with 'Quantum' in the title.

• Conway's Game of Life is a cellular automaton designed by a British mathematician, John Horton Conway, in 1970. There has been a lot of work done on it recently and there are several interesting results.

• As the title says, the worst (best?) pun I have ever heard. You have been warned. First appeared as an answer on Quora.

• Why is a guy (me) majoring in Electrical Engineering spend most of his time worrying about Quantum Mechanics?

• The only people who can see the difference in the power between various methods of doing the same thing are people who understand the most powerful method.

• Plotting data generated in real time using gnuplot

• My second attempt at having a blog.
