Residency Bangalore

There were two things I absolutely loved about working on @ximihoque’s journey video. 1. The ending: Please watch the video till the end to see how it ends. It’s a banger. 2. The entire conversation: I sat with Ximi for approx three hours to understand his story, and oh man, what a journey it has been! One of my favourite parts was understanding how Ximi truly represents his name. It was really nice to hear him talk about it, but what made the conversation even better was how it ended. We weren’t just talking about his journey anymore; we were talking about everything he had to share with the world. I had so much to ponder with him, from quantum entanglement to the possibility of proving ancient proverbs through science. And that’s what I love most about making these journey videos. Beyond documenting someone’s story, I get to spend hours listening, learning, and walking away with perspectives I might never have encountered otherwise. One thing Ximi said that will stay with me for a long time was this: If you keep working towards what you truly want, the universe will bring the right things to you at the right time. Not earlier, not later, but when the time is right. He spoke about how every action we take and every thought we entertain might create ripples that extend far beyond what we can see. He connected this idea to quantum entanglement, and it got me thinking. What if every thought that comes to us is an invitation to explore something? Maybe it’s a calling. Maybe it’s a possibility we haven’t considered yet. Who knows? Perhaps someone on the other side of the world is having the same thought at the very same moment. The thought may come to both of us, but what we choose to do with it is entirely our decision. And maybe that’s the beautiful part: we don’t get to control every thought, every opportunity, or the timing of everything that happens to us. But we do get to decide whether we act on what comes our way. Conversations like these remind me why I love doing what I do. Every story has something to teach you. Sometimes, you just have to sit down, listen, and stay curious long enough to find it. Can't wait to see how far you can go, just like you name @ximihoque! P.S. Watch the video till the end. Trust me, the ending is worth it. made for @residencyBLR

spc talks about taking founders from -1 to 0. when we applied, we were at minus 100 first form we ever filled as founders was SPCs. interview within a week, and that one conversation showed us exactly how far we had to go. minus 100 to minus 90, but that was enough to fix what actually mattered then @residencyBLR happened. 30 days in the founders cohort and the amount that changed wont fit in one post. from minus 100, weve come a long way good session tonight at @spc_india with @nandanreddy and @prateekmehta42 and thanks @rohanchdry for that first interview, it changed our trajectory

Spent a day at @claudeai Opus Build Day building TuringOS with Joel(@uncoalesced) and Stavin(@stavinfern90807) What started as an ambitious idea turned into a bootable Debian-based OS by the end of the day, glad i could be part of the event :) Thanks to @anakinHQ, @knowShubhangi & @residencyBLR for putting this together ❤️
