The first year ends. The second begins. And we are here. It’s Republic Day 2026. Today marks the one year of the No Goal Investing experiment which I had started on the previous Republic Day. I had set this up with an initial contribution on INR 1 Lac each for the three fictional personas…
– Reflections on Artificial Intelligence – A Guide for Thinking Humans This is the third reflection in a series inspired by Melanie Mitchell’s Artificial Intelligence: A Guide for Thinking Humans. For an introduction to the series, head over to the first post here. Mitchell’s book is rich with the history of AI. It traces…
– Reflections on Artificial Intelligence – A Guide for Thinking Humans This is the second reflection inspired by Melanie Mitchell’s Artificial Intelligence: A Guide for Thinking Humans. While reading her chapters on natural language processing, I found myself returning to a moment with my daughter. My daughter is six. And she talks. With her…

Precious metals shone, geopolitical tensions held centre stage for quite a few of these months, the market followed its own whims, and our three investors followed their discipline.

If Season One was about revival and Season Two about boundaries, then Season Three is about reckoning. Not just for Mickey Haller, but for everyone in his orbit. The enemies are more dangerous, the stakes higher, and for the first time, the consequences cut deeper than ever before. We begin where we ended. This…
Season 2 opens with the thread left hanging from the finale of Season 1. Haller is carrying the guilt of a client wrongly accused and still convicted—all because his star witness, Glory Days, goes missing on the day of the testimony. She had Haller convinced that the murder was done by a man with…
