2025

I’ve been reading the blogs for some years now. I came across the annual reviews on the FreeFinCal site; it’s a shame I couldn’t recall the exact year. My guess would be somewhere between 2018 and 2020. During the pandemic, I started subscribing to the Substacks. I noticed almost everyone who is regularly writing is reviewing the annual performance. And I always wanted to write one for myself. The birthdays, New Year’s Eves, and financial year-end—all of them provided a chance to write.

Data visualization is one field that has kept me captivated for some time now. The graphics published in sites like FT, Reuters, or NYT made me wonder why I don’t spend time on the skill. The good volume and variety of data that is available is available all the time. Share market—daily; IPL—yearly. I find each of the cricket matches, no matter if they are Test, ODI, or T20, generates so much data.
