10 areas where we can have a system like ASRS



Aviation Safety Reporting System was a reporting system where people( mainly pilots) can report errors so that others can benefit from it.
  1. Teacher's Feedback System: Current system is bizarre and i dont think that it serves the purpose. Teachers should document their experiences in handling some difficult students so that others can learn easily.
  2. A general purpose document for a client in an IT company so that every new member knows all the important details.
  3. Anonymous feedback option on my blog.
  4. Some general travel guides by tourism departments on their official website. 
  5. A feedback system for India roads .
  6. A book on how to do reasearch for your Masters and Doctorate.
  7. Common research book on addictions.
  8. A parental feedback magazine so that other parents can learn about parenting.
  9. A food guide for tourists.
  10. A feedback mechanism for railways in India.



10 designs of my environment which are not made considering the human factor


  1. Yoga Mat: I think that the thickness of yoga mats is very less. The default yoga mats should be 8mm thick not 6 mm.
  2. Car Seats: I think they are more comfortable than it is required. They are not really ideal for a taller man. (Personal Bias) 
  3. Heels: Whatever the trending fashion is, things should not make a person uncomfortable.
  4. Superbikes: Is the struggle with heavy bikes worth?
  5. Location of dustbins: A dustbin should be at a distance from a tree. 
  6. Advertising boards on roads: There should be a limit on how much information can be displayed on a traffic signal. We should not increase the mental workload.
  7. Animal toys: I think there should be some basic rules for playing with animal toys. Kids should not throw animal toys. This will have a subconscious effect.
  8. A standard rule for the switches: We should have a universal rule like the first switch for light, second switch for the fan, etc
  9. Better symbols on doors for push and pull. 
  10. Better sachets for ketchup. I don't have to struggle every time.

10 examples/use cases of reverse engineering:

In reverse engineering, you find out the users based on the design and usage by thinking backward like looking at a bicycle and trying to find the average height of people who use it.

  1. Finding the type of people who use ipads- gamers, kids, etc.
  2. Books or Kindle: People who are moving will like to prefer Kindle. 
  3. Cars: Designed for people who are of average height or have shorter legs. 
  4. Facebook: Engineered for people who like to know what others are doing.
  5. Punjabi Songs and Bollywood movies: For people who want to get off their mental or physical stress by using these two mediums as a way of escape. Not for people who want to think.
  6. Bars/Drugs: For people who want to forget their worries. Not for who want to improve their lives. 
  7. Any video app: Generally for people who don't want to type/read and just like to be a consumer of information.

  1. If air travel becomes easier, won’t we make this more unsustainable?

  7. When there will be more self-driving cars, should the age of driving be lowered?

Review: Digital Minimalism: On Living Better with Less Technology

Digital Minimalism: On Living Better with Less Technology Digital Minimalism: On Living Better with Less Technology by Cal Newport
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book basically deals with the idea ' less is more.' Everyone has a problem with phone addiction. In the first part, Cal explains how the algorithms of this company want you to be addictive to these apps. He advises readers to go on a 30-day digital detox. After the detox, you reimagine your relationship with technology. In the second part, he discusses some practices to control your addiction like don't like photos or leave comments on posts, having some SOP's to use technology and joining the attention resistance movement.

I will highly recommend this book. All of Cal's books have one foundational idea - 'how to maximize your quality of life by focusing deeply and avoiding distractions.' Having read 3 of his 6 books, I think he is the most practical author of this century. He follows what he preaches. He doesn't have any social media accounts. I feel lucky that I came across this author.

Review: Conspiracy: Peter Thiel, Hulk Hogan, Gawker, and the Anatomy of Intrigue

Conspiracy: Peter Thiel, Hulk Hogan, Gawker, and the Anatomy of Intrigue Conspiracy: Peter Thiel, Hulk Hogan, Gawker, and the Anatomy of Intrigue by Ryan Holiday
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I had to read this book since one of the protagonists of this book, Peter Thiel wrote a book 'Zero To One' which influenced me a lot. The underlying principle of this book is that if you know something is having a bad influence on culture, should you let it happen and leave it on Karma or take it in your hands and solve it. Gawker was an entertainment gossip website which often violated the privacy of famous stars. Peter Thiel who was outed as gay by this website decided to do something about this. The rest of the book is the conspiracy of Peter Thiel to fund a Hulk Hogan V/s Gawker case so that gawker could be destroyed completely. Ryan Holiday, the author has written this book in a remarkable way often comparing this conspiracy with other conspiracies of human history at appropriate intervals.
Often in society, we know that some negative things are happening. We know that they are having a negative influence on people. Should we allow them to operate under free will and leave it to God or should we do something about it? The closest examples that come to my mind are apps like Tiktok, Snapchat or maybe video games like Pubg. Ryan doesn't take any side on this topic rather it leaves upon readers to form their own opinions.

Review: The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business

The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business by Charles Duhigg
My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I came across this book when Prof Barbara Oakley mentioned about this book in her book “ A MIND FOR NUMBERS”. This is one kind of self-help book that never gets boring. Its completely filled with examples like how an alcoholic went sober, how Starbucks turned around their misfortunes, how gambling becomes an addiction, how Michael Phelps won a lot of gold medals in Olympics, how pepsodent was introduced first time among the masses etc.
Habits consist of three parts - cues, routines, and rewards. Often the cues and rewards are interlinked such that routinely occurs automatically. The cue can be watching an ad of pizza and the reward is that your food craving will get satisfied. And the routine here is opening the app and ordering it which is automatic.
Another important thing that I got to learn was about keystone habits. Keystone habits are generally small habits in our lives which trigger us to adopt other good habits easily. Exercise is one such example. When you start to exercise, it becomes easier to counter your fast food habits. Making your bed in the morning is another example of Keystone habits.
I will advise reading this book slowly since it requires a lot of analysis of our daily habits.
