Hooray!: Our tribe has grown to 50 subscribers

Aging is a process that helps you forget things, may be for the better. I don't remember when I started THE SOMEBODY, NOBODY, ANYBODY AND EVERYBODY BLOG! but I was clear on why I need to express myself on the internet, that too on a space that I can call my own. Well actually not the internet belongs to everyone. I am happy and delighted to announce that our tribe of subscribers has grown to 50. I am sure there are many readers who are not subscribers perhaps they aren't convinced enough to subscribe yet. I tried bribing them to subscribe but it is challenging, just like asking someone to convert to Islam.

Cape, Tights, and Tandoori: What if Superman Was Desi?

Growing up, few things captured my imagination quite like the world of superheroes. While many donned capes and masks, there was one who always stood head and shoulders above the rest, quite literally in some cases: Superman.

This reflection isn't about cynicism; it's about clarity, about understanding the game so we can play it more effectively, or at the very least, with our eyes wide open. Prepare to shed some of those rose-tinted glasses, for what follows are the bitter pills we all, eventually, must swallow.

My First AI Song: A Creative Journey with Gemini and Suno

The world of music creation is undergoing a fascinating transformation, and I recently had the opportunity to dip my toes into this exciting new era. For a while now, Artificial Intelligence has been making waves across various creative fields, and music is no exception. My curiosity piqued, I decided to embark on a journey to create my very first AI-generated song, and the experience was nothing short of eye-opening. My process began unconventionally, not with a verse or a melody, but with the heart of the song – the chorus. I had a particular feeling and message I wanted to convey, and the chorus seemed the most crucial part to capture that essence. Once I had a few lines that resonated with me, I turned to Gemini , Google's powerful AI model. I provided Gemini with my initial chorus and asked it to help me flesh out the rest of the lyrics, suggesting verses and a bridge that would complement the central theme. Gemini's ability to understand context and generate creative t...
