Weekly Overview#
Okish week. Got a lot of things done, but also procrastinated a lot. Soldering on anyway.
22nd September 2025 - Monday#
Reflections and Remarks#
My plan for today was only to complete creating the project section of my website. I was procrastinating on it for the last 2 months. Finally, I have completed it. I know it’s not very important to have, but I wanted to have a place where I have all my projects listed, and if I don’t do it now then I will never do it.
23rd September 2025 - Tuesday#
Reflections and Remarks#
Today was a very important day, as I finally sat down and thought things over, even made a proper executable plan and I am really glad. This did come at the cost of not much study hours today but I think it was worth it. I thought about what to study, when to study, how to study, how much time to allocate to what and so on. Will start the plan from tomorrow. Hope it goes well!

Summary#
- Study:
- - Embedded Systems
- - Artificial Intelligence(AI)
- - Semiconductors
Reflections and Remarks
- Mixed couple of days overall. Some good, some bad. Trying to reduce the procrastination.
- Dealing with some personal issues, which is affecting my productivity.
- Got the approval for the vibe coded app from the indus appstore team. Did some more changes to the app, mainly added a splash screen and a follow us on x/twitter footer. I figured if I can’t put fee on download or in-app purchases, I can at least get some followers on x/twitter. Let’s see how it goes.
- Embedded Systems: Hardware chapter is so good. Finally understanding how to read a datasheet.
- Semiconductors: This is my plan for Semiconductors: Start with NCERT Class 12th
for the basics. Then the industry report, etc and also document/blog about everything I
learn. Since, it is a long term thing with Semiconductors, I can take it slow. Got
some basic blog setup for
semiconductors.blogusing hugo. Let’s see how it goes.

Summary#
- Study:
- - Embedded Systems
- - Artificial Intelligence(AI)
- - Semiconductors
Reflections and Remarks
- Slowly gaining momentum. Need to keep it up.
- Semiconductors: Started to read 12th NCERT chapter on dual nature of radiation and matter. Read a few things about the photoelectric effect and as is my habit went down a rabbit hole of youtube, etc. But I did learn a lot of things. Should be able to finish photoelectric effect by tomorrow. Will write a blog post about it.
- AI: Finally, after so long, I started studying about AI. I have started with a bit of math(as suggested by ChatGPT) and then I will move on to some small experiments with code. Learned about vectors(from a 3blue1brown video), did write a small blog on it. It took me some time to get the math katex notion working on hugo. But I finally got it working. Should be a little faster if I can do the math notations faster.
- I got to control my perfectionist nature.
- Apart from this I setup a twitter account for semiconductors blog, got some logo designed by AI. Can’t wait to publish the first blog post and share it on twitter.
- Unfortunately, I couldn’t do much on Embedded Systems. Embedded Systems is the perfect mix of hardware and software, which is what I want to do. Also, I like solving hard problems and Embedded Systems is the best place to do it, in my opinion. So, need to get back to it as soon as possible.

Summary#
- Study:
- - Embedded Systems
- - Artificial Intelligence(AI)
- - Semiconductors
Reflections and Remarks
- Slow day today. It was the match day, so watched that. Nice to take a day off or partially off.
- Did get some AI study done though. Learned about basis vectors, linear combinations, etc. Did some small experiments with python and numpy. Also, updated the blog post on vectors. Vectors in 3D space is a bit hard to visualize, but the 3blue1brown video helped a lot. Quite interesting stuff. I wish I had learned this way in school/college.
- Hoping for a more productive week next week.
