Hobbies
Whether it’s the tiny details of a craft 🎨, the spark of a new skill, or the journey of building something fun 🛠️, I’m thrilled to share my hobbies and experiences with you. Dive in and discover the things that keep me driven and inspired! 💡
Indus Seal Generator
I've always found the Indus glyphs deeply enigmatic ✨ and beautiful. Recently, I came across Yajna Devam’s cryptanalytic decipherment. While exploring his work, I thought: wouldn’t it be cool to write my own name in this ancient script? 🖋️ That curiosity and my past computer graphics experience sparked this project: a tool for anyone to generate their own Indus seal 🧱. The idea is simple, so is the implementation.
Available as a webpage 💻 and an Android App 📱 is in the works. If people enjoy it, I’d love to keep improving it, maybe even make it open source! 😊
Kya Challa
During the early days of COVID-19, when I found myself unemployed, I decided to make the most of my free time by starting this channel as a fun and creative outlet 🎥. At one point, the "Kya challa?" video went viral 🌟, giving the channel a surge of attention and motivating me to continue for a while.
Visit the official site kyachalla.com. I'm deeply grateful 🙏 for the positive response from people who genuinely enjoyed the content ❤️, and I cherish the unique experience of this YouTube adventure. 🚀
Kya Challa - Extra
This Extra channel, unlike the name suggests, was more about exploring visually creative 🎨 projects that caught my interest based on internet trends ✨. It also served as a dedicated beatboxing audio 🎶 library for the kyachalla.com channel, catering to the many viewers who had been requesting those audios as standalone content. 🎤
Random Sketches
I enjoy drawing and making sketches from time to time 🎨. Blog posts with the tag sketch is where all my sketches are linked. Watch this space for more! ✍️
This Website
This website itself is a hobby project that I thoroughly enjoyed creating 🛠️. It’s designed with specific goals in mind: a simple, CSS-based structure that embraces semantic HTML 🌐 for clarity and accessibility. I decided to go with simplecss.org and I love it.
The site is intentionally static and free from unnecessary JavaScript, keeping it lightweight and efficient ⚡. However, to ensure maintainability, it incorporates dynamic elements 🛠️, so I don’t have to manually update headers, footers, and shared components across all pages. This operates entirely offline, with newly updated static pages deployed directly to the hosting space 🚀. This approach eliminates the need for costly dynamic hosting 💰, which would be excessive for my requirements and unnecessary for the site's functionality.
It’s a perfect blend of simplicity, functionality, and efficiency: an approach I’ve truly enjoyed bringing to life!
