I’ve always loved labs — physics, chemistry, computer labs. Places where you could tinker, test, break, and learn. But life outside those rooms felt different. No guided experiment sheets. No controlled retries. Just hits and misses — mostly misses.
And here’s the thing: you only need one hit in the numerator to change everything in the denominator. Probability behaves the same way — always between zero and one.
Maybe that sounds philosophical (thanks to all the Western philosophy I read). Maybe it sounds spiritual (thanks to modern times). But really, I'm just an engineer who loves to tinker and an MBA who enjoys designing tools, frameworks, and systems — especially the ones that run without people.
I hold an engineering degree and an MBA in strategy & operations from IIM Kozhikode. But my interests spill everywhere: human behavior, business strategy, mental models, books, experiments, writing, fitness, nutrition — anything that piques curiosity and helps me think a little clearer than yesterday.
Like the saying goes — there are a zillion universes, and we’re one of them. So what’s so special about Merquery?
Merquery is a digital notebook. Not a publication. Not a brand campaign. Not a polished personal website.
It’s a space to think in public. To explore ideas. To run personal experiments. To document what I’m figuring out.
Everything here is a work-in-progress. I write when something feels interesting — not when it feels perfect. If you’re looking for polished advice, there are better places. If you’re looking for honest exploration, welcome.
Pinky promise — if something here sparks a thought, teaches you something, or makes your day a bit better, that’s a win.
