Hiii, I've been following your blog since some time. And I've been very fascinated and impressed by your journey. I'm sure at this point you know hindi better than me (I'm not proud of this, I'll focus better on Hindi from now). And I've always had this question, I'm not sure if I asked you or if you have already answered it or not. But how did you start learning Hindi? Are you Indian or indian origin? And how has your journey been? Did you find difficulties? What was easy for you and what did you like/dislike about the culture as you continued learning the language? I'm very curious.
Hi and thank you so much for such a nice ask!
Here's my previous answer to how I got into Hindi in the first place.
In short, I am just a Finnish linguaphile with no connection to India or South Asia whatsoever. I have loved learning about different languages since childhood but Hindi (and Urdu on the side) has been my passion for the past six to seven years now.
I got into the language very typically through Hindi cinema but more than just the aesthetics I'm fascinated by the history, art, socio-political fabric, nature and just all of it. I love learning new things in general and there's always something new about Indian people or culture that draws my interest. Looking at things - whether political, religious or whatever - from a distance, I try to observe and form an understanding more than form opinions - it's not my place and all I have is endless respect for Indian people. I've never been to India but believe me I have long to-do and to-see lists when I eventually one day get to go there.
My language journey has been very enjoyable. I've done some online courses, had iTalki tutors, done some videos to practice pronunciation, made a huge Anki deck and done lots of reading, podcast listening and film watching. I was making great progress but my learning has been on somewhat hiatus since last autumn when I got a new job that took all my energy. Since January I've been writing a PhD thesis proposal that has taken all my spare time and my Hindi learning has diminished to scrolling Tumblr poems and listening to film songs while commuting. The passion is still there and I intend to return to my routines as soon as possible.
What I love most about Hindi as a language is the logic of it. It's - for me at least - very easy to 'get' Hindi, as in understanding the grammar rules - why things are the way they are. Hindi is a very learner-friendly language that way. A bigger issue is the immense vocabulary and understanding of the historical and cultural roots around borrowing sounds and words from Sanskrit, Persian and other languages - how they play together and how they do not etc. When learning Hindi you are never just learning Hindi!
I had some trouble learning Devanagari at first and learning to differentiate all the sounds (and produce them from my mouth). It took time, but one day they clicked. I'm not perfect and there's a lot of room for improvement but seeing the progress I've made is very encouraging and helps me keep on learning. Learning Nastaliq and Naskh is another story - and another journey altogether!

April 25, 2024: from Moon for Aisha, Aracelis Girmay
from Moon for Aisha
Aracelis Girmay
— for Kamilah Aisha Moon, with a line after Cornelius Eady’s ''Gratitude''
Dear Aisha,
I mean to be writing you
a birthday letter, though it’s not
September, the winter already
nearing, the bareness
of trees, their weightlessness,
their gestures —
grace or grief. The windows
of buildings all shining early, lit with light,
& I am only ten & riding
all of my horses home,
still sisterless, wanting sisters.
You do not know me yet.
In fact, we are years away
from that life. But I am thankful
for some inexplicable thing,
let’s call it “freedom,” or “night,” the terror
& glee of being outside late, after dark,
my mother’s voice shouting
for me beneath stars
which, I learned in school,
are suddenly not so different
from the small salt of fathers, & gratitude
for that, & for the red house of
your mother’s blood,
& then, you, all nearly grown,
all long-legged laughter,
already knowing all the songs
& all the dances,
not my friend, yet,
but, somehow — Out There.
In one version of our lives,
it is November.
Through a window I see
one of our elders is
a black eye of a woman, is
a thinker, & magnificent. [...]
It is always her birthday.
She has always lived
to tell a part
of the story of the world,
what happened here.
If not a moon, what can
we bring this woman who
walks ahead? For whom
you were named,
& whose name has been
added to by you
whose language crowns
the dark field of what has
been hushed, of what is
beautiful & black, & blue.
--
Read the full poem here.
Written to the author's friend, poet Kamilah Aisha Moon, who died in 2021. Read one of her essays: It's Not The Load That Breaks You Down; It's The Way You Carry It.

I was obsessed with this one boy from standard 7 to 12. He was my friend in 7th and 8th. This boy was a great singer. I used to make him sing sad Hindi and Malayalam songs and later in my privacy, shed tears about him not reciprocating 'my love'.
In 9th, we were put in different classes and I felt like someone tore my heart apart. I was a histrionic teenager and wrote sad, cringe poems in a diary. To make things difficult for my whole existence, he had a teenage glow-up and I got cystic acne and hairfall. He became the school heartthrob, made cooler friends and stopped hanging out with me.
It was very difficult to not act like the maniacally obsessed crazy girl I were. But with great effort and restraint, I managed somehow. I didn't try to reconnect or join his new cool friends' group because I was so embarassed that I was thinking about this one boy at all times. I didn't want anyone, especially him, to know about this. I couldn't even imagine someone irl asking me about this. I still can't.
I nursed my 'broken heart' for a few more years and moved on from the non-existent relationship or whatever it was. My god! It was so hilarious 😂

Fareb / Trickery
an old RRR poem (but can be read w/o context). posting once again. in Hindi and English- a Ram POV in Delhi.
//
Aa kar bas gaya hun sheher-e-dushman mein,
Akela parwana jaise shamaa-e-anjuman mein.
Dard mile, malaal mile, roohdaar na mile,
Ab jaake chhup gaya hun mukhbiri ke fun mein.
Siyaasi khel, ji huzoori, jhukna har baar unke saamne,
Kya kya nahi kar raha hun sajdaa e watan mein.
Woh hawaa kuchh badli si, woh teri aahat,
Saanse phir se uth chali hamdard e sukhan mein.
Aa kar bas gaya hun sheher-e-dushman mein,
Magar lautna chahta hun teri baahein e kafan mein.
//
New haven in the camps of the foe,
A moth in the flame- a spy’s woe.
Pain by my side, guilt, regret spewing bile,
Drowning in oaths, taken as a juvenile.
Gashes on knees, saccharine flattery in word,
Embracing grey morals no longer is absurd.
A sense of relief, a breeze of your love,
A reason to rise like a phoenix above.
Shelter for years in the enemy’s midst,
Going home in your arms, the only wish.
//
lmk if i should make a taglist once again. warna phir yeh bhi sahi hai.

Why Silicon Valley’s biggest AI developers are hiring poets
Training data companies are grabbing writers of fiction, drama, poetry, and also general humanities experts to improve AI creative writing.
by Andrew Deck
Silicon Valley training data giants Scale AI and Appen are hiring poets and writers with humanities backgrounds, including in Hindi and Japanese.
Hires are asked to write original short stories to feed AI models, as part of a drive to boost the literary quality of generative writing tools.
Silicon Valley’s biggest generative artificial intelligence developers are looking for a new kind of data worker: poets.
A string of job postings from high-profile training data companies, such as Scale AI and Appen, are recruiting poets, novelists, playwrights, or writers with a PhD or master’s degree. Dozens more seek general annotators with humanities degrees, or years of work experience in literary fields. The listings aren’t limited to English: Some are looking specifically for poets and fiction writers in Hindi and Japanese, as well as writers in languages less represented on the internet.
“When human beings [write poetry], it’s very, very difficult for human beings to do it well. Even now, after this LLM revolution has started, these machines are not machines for novelty.”
The companies say contractors will write short stories on a given topic to feed them into AI models. They will also use these workers to provide feedback on the literary quality of their current AI-generated text.
The listings illustrate the often-obscured connection between generative AI’s impressive capabilities and the invisible annotation work that powers them. When ChatGPT launched in November 2022, observers were particularly impressed by its ability to write poems in English. Now, annotation firms are collecting creative writing data samples that could extend those powers into other languages. It is a sign that AI developers have flagged fluency in poetic forms as a priority, while refining their generative writing products.

Ghazals -- discovering a new poetic tradition
youtube
I’d originally planned on diving into a Persian poem for this week’s blog post, but my curiosity about the structure of the poems themselves got the best of me. So today, I’ll be sharing what I’ve learned about ghazals, a poetry form (think haikus or sonnets) that emerged in the Arab world but has since become associated with Persian poetry. The word “ghazal” (غزل) originates from Arabic, a nod to the form’s roots. In the Arab world, any poem on the subject of love, regardless of structure or rhyme, was categorized as a ghazal. When the poetic form arrived in what is now Iran, Persian ghazals initially retained this same ambiguity, but over the years, ghazals became a standardized form.
These standardized ghazals are a minimum of five couplets and usually do not exceed fifteen lines. Classical Persian poets traditionally considered seven lines to be the “sweet spot.” Usually, the first couplet introduces a theme, and is constructed using a rhyme followed by a refrain. Subsequent couplets repeat the refrain, but rhyme the second line with both lines of the first stanza. Thus, ghazals follow something along the lines of an AA BA CA DA rhyme pattern. The final couplet usually incorporates the poet's signature, typically by referring to the author in the first or third person. Frequently, this also involves weaving in the poet's own name or some derivation of its meaning. Unlike some forms of poetry that revolve around a plot or are narrative in style, ghazals are composed of completely independent lines that are only loosely connected by an overarching theme.
Ghazals gained prominence during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, and were popularized by legendary Persian poets like Rumi and Hafiz. Eventually, poets writing in Urdu, Hindi, Pashto, Turkish, and Hebrew also adopted the form. However, ghazals were not popularized in the English-speaking world until the 1960s, when Indian musicians introduced ghazals to English-speaking audiences in the form of songs. In India and Pakistan, the art of singing or performing ghazals is an age-old tradition. Later, Indian poet Agha Shahid Ali introduced ghazals in their classical poetic form to American poets, several of which have since made attempts to write ghazals in English.
The intricate construction of the ghazal makes it by far the most fascinating poetic form I’ve learned about – it makes me quite disappointed that all those poetry units back in elementary school English class never introduced us to ghazals. Writing (bad) poems was a favorite pastime of mine as a kid, and reading about ghazals has rekindled my urge to write poetry – maybe in ghazal form this time! As the nature of ghazals makes translation very difficult, I’ve made a new goal of one day being able to read these masterpieces in their original Persian. For now, I’ve been listening: although Indian ghazal performances are much more widespread, I found a stunning performance of Rumi’s poems that I’d like to share with you all.

Department of Languages: Conversation with Department Head, Dr.Trapthy Sharma
Language has always been a medium to convey messages or emotions in a way that makes it easy for others to understand what a person might be feeling or thinking. The best poems and greatest stories remain unknown, hidden within famous yet unread course books.The appreciation for language appears to have declined over the years, leading to a decrease in the prominence of language departments in degree colleges.
We sat down with Dr.Trapthy Sharma, the head of the Language Department here at ST PAULS COLLEGE, Bangalore. Ma’am has been a part of the ST PAULS family since the institution’s beginning phase.
From faculty member to department head, her journey has involved many hellos and goodbyes from countless students. She has always felt proud of the students who learned a language under her care and guidance. She has consistently strived to bring out the best of their potential.
The Language Department fosters a symbiotic relationship with its students. The college offers more than 12 languages, including Hindi (taught by Ma’am herself), English, Kannada, Malayalam, and Urdu.
During our conversation, Dr.Trapthy mentioned that a lot has changed since her time as a student. Students today have a much heavier workload than she did. There has been a shift towards extracurricular activities in recent years. Students are exposed to many responsibilities beyond their coursework, and this has demonstrably brought a positive change. They act more maturely and handle pressure better.
While discussing extracurricular activities, we asked Ma’am about the fests organized by the Language Department. Dr.Trapthy has taken many initiatives to ensure students experience different cultures and languages through these college fests. The primary purpose of these events is to introduce students to new cultures and languages. Secondly, they provide a platform for students to showcase not only their talents but also their roots and traditions in a fun and educational way. The well-planned events help students get familiar with their peers and faculty members.
Ma’am also emphasized the importance of understanding language concepts. She stressed that without a good grasp of language, we are incapable of accurately conveying our feelings, which can hinder our long-term goals. According to her, the first step towards growth comes from knowing the language of the place you live. This understanding is essential for comprehending the important aspects of the culture. It fosters empathy and creates a special bond built on respect for each other’s efforts.
During the conversation, she also made a very relevant point for the current times: the value of a language degree. People often view language as a side subject or an additional course, which undermines its importance in any field of work. Media, Law, Advertising, Psychology, IT, Corporate – regardless of the field, language can be a significant barrier. Studying a language course equips one with a strong grasp of the subject itself. It provides the crucial ability to articulate thoughts clearly under any circumstance.
As per Dr.Trapthy’s view, language is not only important for initiating a conversation but also for keeping it going. This applies to conveying news, knowledge, stories, or speeches. Fluency and a strong command of language boost confidence and bring greater attention to your work.
As our session concluded, we asked Ma’am to leave a message for students pursuing their dreams to become professionals or are about to enter that phase of their life. Here’s what Dr.Trapthy said: “Students are like statues made out of a lot of love and care. But a plain statue wouldn’t hold someone’s attention for long. The need to decorate a statue comes from the desire to be seen and noticed. The same applies to students. As language and grammar are the basic foundation of our society, it’s important for students to adorn themselves with as much knowledge and as many languages as they can. When they go out into the world, people will be instantly drawn to them. The more they learn, the more they’ll grow.”
That’s all from us. This is the ST PAULS Team, signing off until next time. Stay safe, keep achieving, and keep dreaming.

AI Copilot: Reunderstanding human-machine cooperation
Note that I am writing this article. At the beginning, the title is uncertain and the content is completely blank, but on the right side of the Edge browser, New Bing serves as a sidebar and is helping me think. An outline of the entire article.
Yes, the world we live in is quietly undergoing earth-shaking changes - AI is really here! Just a few months ago, the popularity of ChatGPT made us realize that AI has begun to deeply penetrate into every aspect of the human world. . Before that, we didn’t even realize that a silent change had begun.
That is, AI Copilot has quietly entered HE Tuber our lives and work.
What is an AI Copilot? How will it disrupt our understanding of work and life? This article will clear up this mystery for you.
In order not to fall behind in the trend of technological change, we must understand AI Copilot in advance and proactively embrace changes. Let us start our reading journey today!
Take Away:
Understand the essence of AI Copilot
Application cases of AI Copilot in different scenarios
How AI Copilot is integrated into products and individuals
1. How does New Bing understand AI Copilot?
Let’s start with Microsoft’s New Bing launch conference.
In March this year, Microsoft CEO Nadella told a story about AI helping Indian farmers at the New Bing launch conference:
One farmer, speaking in Hindi, expressed a rather complex idea of how he had heard about some government programs and wanted to apply for subsidies for which he believed he was eligible.
So this is a very complex prompt query. Technology does a great job.
"You should go to this portal, fill out these forms and you will get your subsidy."
The farmer replied, Look, I'm not going into any portals. I won't fill out any forms. Can you help me? He (AI) did it.
The model has been trained on all Indian government documents using GPT and this speech recognition software. So there are basically two models that come together to really help rural farmers in India trying to access government programs.
These things were developed a few months ago by OpenAI and people on the West Coast of the United States, and are being used by local developers to have an impact on rural farmers. It's so cool to see that.
Nadella launches New Bing, a search engine integrated with AI:
In the future, all computer interactions will be assisted by an agent, and we will have the concept of Copilot:
Injecting the next generation of search and browsing with AI and assembling it into one integrated experience, we'll reimagine the search engine, web browser, and new chat experience into what we consider to be your co-pilot for the web . Now, co-pilot is a key word as we believe in the empowering nature of AI!
New Bing+Edge browser is a next-generation search and browsing solution infused with AI proposed by Microsoft. It is also a practitioner of AI Copilot.
Let’s take a closer look at how Microsoft thinks about how search will become Copilot after integrating AI. There are four points:
1) Better search : Search is not just a tool, but a service whose goal is to help users achieve their needs and goals. Therefore, Microsoft uses AI to enable search to better understand the user's intentions and context, filter out the most relevant and valuable content from massive amounts of information, and present it to users in the most appropriate way.
For example, if a user wants to know the latest developments on a certain topic, Microsoft can automatically generate a concise summary for the user, including the latest news, data, pictures, videos and other information.
2) Not just search : Search is not only a way to obtain information, but also a platform for creating information. It can help users discover new knowledge, inspiration and possibilities.
Therefore, Microsoft uses AI to enable search to provide users with more functions and services, such as helping users create some content, such as poems, stories, codes, songs, etc., or helping users optimize or improve their existing content. For example, if a user wants to write a poem, Microsoft can generate some interesting and creative poems for the user based on the keywords or topics provided by the user, or help the user modify or improve the poems they have already written.
3) Chat is search : Microsoft believes that search is not just a one-way process, but a two-way dialogue, which allows users to establish a closer and more natural connection with search engines. Therefore, Microsoft uses AI to enable search to have natural and friendly conversations with users. It can not only answer users' questions, but also raise questions, suggestions or challenges, stimulate users' interest and curiosity, and be able to respond to user feedback or Modify to improve yourself.
For example, if a user wants to know about the life of a celebrity, Microsoft can play an interesting question and answer game with the user, allowing the user to guess the celebrity's name, birthplace, occupation and other information, and give tips or rewards.
4) Support generated content : Microsoft believes that search is not just an interface for displaying information, but an engine for generating information. It allows users to use the powerful computing power and rich knowledge base of the search engine to create the content they want. . Therefore, Microsoft uses artificial intelligence technology to enable search to support the generation of various types and forms of content, such as images, audio, video, text, etc., and to adjust the style and quality of content according to user requirements and preferences.
For example, if a user wants to draw a painting, Microsoft can generate a painting based on the description or example provided by the user, and allow the user to select parameters such as painting style, color, and details.
The reason why New Bing needs AI Copilot is as follows:
In the entire search process, about 40% of the time is spent clicking on search links and clicking back.
It reflects that we waste a lot of time looking for answers.
Search technology has not changed for many years. We enter Query in the input box, and the engine returns a list of search results to us. In " , I wrote about a concept:
Users search to get results.
The current search can handle simple results very well, such as navigation, weather, and stock prices.
But for more complex things, such as those listed at the beginning of this article: I want to write an article about AI Copilot, how should I write it?
Search engines have no solution.
Or: Recommend to me a five-day cultural tour of Beijing, where you can taste local specialties, and the cost should not exceed 2,000 yuan;
For such content, we will go to Xiaohongshu to find notes.
After ChatGPT, AI has the ability to understand and create. Integrating it into search engines is undoubtedly an imaginative thing.
Starting from user needs, AI Copilot is designed based on in-depth analysis of user search behavior and intentions . It can understand the user's context, emotions, preferences and goals, thereby providing search results and suggestions that are more suitable for user needs.
New Bing has upgraded itself from an original tool to a service!
2. Application scenarios and value of AI Copilot
Let’s talk about a few application cases of AI Copilot:
In "Reading: AI helps you quickly filter before reading" , you will find that reading can help us quickly summarize the articles to be read, saving time in content selection. If you are interested, you can also use WeChat to scan the QR code. Just start trying it out and repost the article to it.
In " " , we can see what kind of warmth the ancient need for a diary can enjoy in the AI era.
In " In ", audio and video text is refined and summarized, and AI has also greatly enhanced our work and study efficiency.
In "AI Series 06: Mid Journey and Discord Achieve Each Other" , Midjourney has also become the first choice for designers to use AI-assisted painting.
There are also articles like "Bing+GPT, creating a new search experience" , " , etc., etc., all show the significance of AI Copilot.
All needs can be rethought using AI.
As can be seen from the introduction of the above products, the application scenarios and values of AI Copilot are very broad and rich. It can provide users with more intelligent, personalized, and multi-modal solutions in different fields and scenarios. and interactive experience to help users achieve their needs and goals.
For Co-Pilot implanted products, we will continue to expand in the next section:
3. Product Principle of AI Copilot
Dario Amodei is the founder of Authropic, the company behind Claude. He said in an interview:
If AI wants to become more efficient, it must first help humans improve their own productivity , and then gradually reach the same level of productivity as humans.
Regardless of which year AI developed to the level of AGI, at the current stage, AI can be fully embedded into our work and life flow to realize AI Copilot:
Andrej Karpathy is the former senior director of AI at Tesla. This is the man that Musk has publicly tried to retain, claiming that Tesla's door is open to him at any time. At X at the end of last year, it was said that 80% of his code was completed using GitHub Copilot.
The path where GitHub Copilot takes effect is as follows:
Use large models to conduct targeted training based on the massive code of GitHub, and then provide services to help the private code part complete the work better.
Different from the currently hyped AI Agent, AI Copilot is more practical. Right Now can quickly improve personal productivity. In "The Core Competence of Creation in the AI Era: See how it deeply integrates with Claude to evolve content productivity" (5,000 words) Good stuff!)" In the article, I detailed how I tightly integrated Claude into the content creation process:
Let’s take a look at the working mechanism of Reading:
Taking a comprehensive look, we will find that the mechanism of AI Copilot is:
AI requires humans to initiate requests and then respond quickly. After humans receive the response, they can continue to advance their original processes or continue to interact with AI.
It can be seen that the core of AI Copilot implementation is human-computer interaction and collaboration . The required abilities are at least the following:
1) Understand user intent
AI needs to accurately understand the user's needs and intentions before it can respond appropriately. This is also the core reason why AI Copilot became feasible after the qualitative change that began to occur after NLP (natural language processing) developed to GPT3.
2) Generate personalized responses
Based on understanding the user's intention, AI uses generative models (such as ChatGPT, etc.) to generate targeted responses. These responses need to be personalized. For example, Xinguang will use options so that AI can be targeted according to the specific needs of the user. personalized response.
3) Continuous interaction
Embedding into the user's workflow is an important logic of Copilot, which requires AI to be able to continuously interact with people in complex tasks. In other words, it is a high-knowledge intern on StandBy 24 hours a day, and has a certain memory ability. Able to respond continuously.
4) Mix external knowledge
For a large number of human needs, AI can request external knowledge sources at any time to retrieve and learn incomprehensible content in order to better respond to human needs.
5) Ensure output quality
If the quality of AI's response is too low, there will be no way to help humans improve work efficiency. Therefore, the quality generated by AI Copilot must meet usable standards, and of course the security and compliance of the output content must be ensured, etc.
4. Will AI Copilot be added to the product?
In product design, we can think about whether, after implanting an AI Copilot, it can meet the above requirements and increase the value provided to users.
Specific judgments can be made from the following aspects:
1. User scenario requirements
This is the core: Do users have strong needs for assistants in the usage scenarios of this product?
For example, the core value of being able to read is whether users have the need to filter articles before reading.
The premise for the value of Tongyi Listening is that users need to extract text from audio and video, organize the text into segments, and refine key points during work and study.
The premise of the value of Xinguang is that users hope to get a response from AI after writing a diary.
GitHub Copilot: Do users want to get code suggestions and quickly complete code when writing code? New Bing: Do users want to directly obtain available content?
All technologies are for the needs of users, so returning to the roots and thinking is the most important thing.
2. Is the interaction mode consistent with
The most suitable Copilot at present still uses Chat to interact, so it would be more suitable if it can be implemented through text interaction, voice-to-text, etc. in the input box.
Of course, Midjourney’s new “Inpainting” function is a little different:
There is now a new button "Vary (Region)" on Midjourney. Using this function, users can select the area they want to change, enter a new text prompt, and modify the image directly with text. trim
This is an occasion that requires as little language input as possible, but for AI to clearly understand human intentions, Prompt input is still needed.
3. Degree of data accumulation
Whether the product itself has a large amount of high-quality user behavior data and content data is the basis for training AI models. Especially for vertical models, you must enter the data flywheel before you can really build barriers, that is:
There is more and more data, the quality of the responses given by the model is getting higher and higher, and users are increasingly unable to leave.
4. Openness of output content
If AI can autonomously control generation within an appropriate range, it is more suitable for Copilot, such as WPS AI, Notion AI, etc., which can assist content generation very well.
5. Business needs
After adding AI Copilot, can the product bring differentiated competitive advantages and thereby improve core indicators?
Q: How do you think about monetizing this?
Nadella: Last time I checked software, search was the most profitable category on the planet . So I just need a few more users. Everyone else I compete with has to keep all their users and all their gross margins. So there are no plans to charge for new presence.
In an interview, the host asked Nadella whether there would be a clear charging mechanism, and the answer was no. It is very clear that Bing's main business is search. As long as more users use Bing, it can make money back. After receiving the blessing of GPT4, Bing will gain sufficient differentiation advantages. And Chat and Search are closely integrated:
5. AI Copilot is added to you!
Today we have talked so much about AI Copilot and how to embed AI into products. If we regard ourselves as a product, do we also have to join the world physically?
Turn AI into your own Copilot!
The current era is the era of super individuals and one-person companies. How to use AI to amplify the original limited personal abilities and improve our efficiency is very meaningful. AI Copilot is a very effective method!
The unique value of AI Copilot has at least three points:
Improve work/study efficiency : Tongyi Listening can help us watch podcasts, read videos, and quickly review meetings, which is a very typical scenario.
Optimizing content quality : There are already a large number of prompts that use ChatGPT to produce content. Let’s not talk about those. For long articles like mine, AI can quickly and effectively help further improve the content quality.
Stimulate more creativity : Many times, manpower is limited, and the brain’s memory and imagination are lacking. AI, as an all-powerful external brain, can help us supplement it very well. Or after finishing writing, let AI help give suggestions, which can also help us check for omissions very well.
After talking about the value, you must ask me how to integrate it into myself. Here I will give you the exclusive four-step AI fusion method :
1) Understand your own needs and pain points
Recall, what is the most time-consuming and energy-consuming aspect of your own work and study? Is there any duplication of effort here?
For example, when I write an in-depth long article (more than 5K words), the most tiring part is to search for a lot of information, organize and think about the content of the information, and then consider it all to find the main thread to connect it.
This is a bottom-up writing method, based on a relatively certain topic (such as product analysis). After having a general framework, a large amount of information needs to be sorted out, and then the article framework is sorted out, and then gradually filled in.
Now it is completely possible to use AI Copilot to see what ideas the AI has. After colliding with it, you can roughly clarify the framework, and then directly fill in the chapters one by one.
AI will be very helpful in several parts here:
Tasks that rely heavily on external knowledge input, but do not have enough knowledge themselves.
Don’t know what you don’t know.
AI has almost all the information in the world. As long as you follow some fixed questioning methods (for example: you are a senior product manager in China, please help me check this outline and give me some suggestions), you can let AI assist you. us.
2) Evaluate the feasibility of AI integration
AI is also trained from the information that can be found on the market. If you are in a very unique niche field, or there is almost no information on the market, large models will not be able to do anything.
Like the product analysis written by Super, most of the time I still need to handle it myself, because there is not much content to analyze each specific product (especially niche products), which will make the AI not know how to analyze a product well, and many Sometimes I still need to think deeply on my own.
However, most workflows can be supported. As long as the input and output of the task can be clearly defined and the relationship between input and output is relatively clear, the feasibility of AI integration is relatively high.
For example, if the task is to let AI automatically generate a travel plan based on a tourist's needs, then:
Input : "I want to go to Beijing for a five-day trip during the National Day. I must go to Tiananmen, the Forbidden City, and the Badaling Great Wall. The budget is 5,000 yuan." This is the natural language description of the demand information provided by tourists such as travel time, attraction preferences, and budget. It is clear and specific.
Output : Based on this demand information, AI generates a complete travel plan including recommended attractions, hotels, restaurants, itineraries, etc. The output form is also clear.
If either input or output is not clearly defined, the AI will not know the relationship between input and output, and it will be difficult to complete interactive tasks.
3) Find matching AI tools
In "Core Competencies of Creation in the AI Era: See how he deeply integrates with Claude to evolve content productivity (5,000 words of useful information!)" I also wrote why I chose Claude as the main Copilot tool because it supports 100K long input. You can upload files, and the writing style is similar to mine, so I will choose it.
There are now a plethora of AI tools on the market, and it is important to find one that suits your needs. We can pay attention to the following points:
Functional fit
Tool model quality
Ease of use
stability
cost
Compliance
future development potential
word of mouth
4) Continuously iterate and improve the process
The knife gets faster the more you use it, there is no need for us to ask ourselves to understand AI at the beginning.
Just like when I use assisted driving, I gradually become familiar with it and become more and more aware of its temperament (such as whether the driving is aggressive or conservative), so I can decide when to use it and when to do it by myself~
We can start with simple scenes and tasks at the beginning, and slowly expand the scope of AI assistance.
You can draw a flow chart and gradually add the parts suitable for AI.
For example, I used Claude as a copilot for long-form writing. Later I found that Xmind Copilot seemed to be quite easy to use. I tried using it at the outline level. After trying it for a while, I found that Claude was still easy to use, so I returned it. .
It doesn't matter, we can keep trying, experiencing and optimizing the original process.
Finally, remember to pay attention to the latest AI technology progress. For example, I used Bing as a creative assistant in the early days of Copilot. After Claude 2.0 came out, I immediately replaced it.
To summarize, as a creator, I know deeply that the arrival of AI has broken the original content impossible triangle:
To take a step back, if you don’t pursue hot products, you can have both high frequency and high quality. If you are interested, you can read my AI topic. In the 15 days this month, I have updated 6 long articles on AI. Topic selection-,-
So, you might as well start using AI Copilot first, you will find that it brings surprises!

Why Choose Hindi? Exploring the Depth and Emotional Richness of Birthday Wishes for Wife in Hindi
Loving someone from another culture gives us a beautiful chance to appreciate and value our diverse world. This becomes even more profound when we take the time and make the effort to speak our loved one's language. And when that language is Hindi, rich in depth and emotional warmth, the birthday wishes for wife in hindi you convey can hold a unique, heartfelt resonance. Let's explore why choosing Hindi can be such a powerful way to express your feelings on your wife's special day.
1. A Language of Emotional Nuance
Hindi is a language filled with emotional nuance and cultural richness. The beauty of Hindi phonetics and the deep meanings encapsulated within many of its words enable conveyance of emotions that might be challenging to express in another language. Terms of endearment in Hindi, like "Priye" (Dear), "Meri Jaan" (My Life) or "Meri Jeevan Saathi" (My Life Partner), carry immense warmth and tenderness.
2. Honoring Cultural Heritage
By expressing your warm birthday wishes in Hindi, you show honor and respect towards your wife's cultural heritage. It becomes evident that you appreciate and value her culture, her roots, and her identity. This acknowledgment can bring a closer bond and deeper mutual understanding.
3. Adding a Personal Touch
Fine-tuning your birthday wishes based on your wife's traditions can make your message stand out. Do you recall her favorite Hindi song or poem? Maybe she has shared a favorite Hindi quote? Adding these elements to your birthday wish can show heartfelt thoughtfulness.
4. Surprise Element
Communication in a relationship can sometimes become predictable over time; however, wishing her a "Happy Birthday" in Hindi brings a surprise element. Catching her off-guard can fill this special day with joy and spur a refreshing start to yet another year together.
5. Emotional Attachment to Mother Language
Expressing love in one's mother tongue can tap into early emotional attachments. Her first experiences of laughter, tears, comfort, and love happened in this language, and it carries a depth of emotions like no other.
To her, hearing "Janmadin Mubarak, Priye" (Happy Birthday, Dear) might evoke a wave of nostalgia and warmth, thus making the moment even more special.
6. A Gesture of Love and Effort
By opting to wish her in Hindi, you are showing readiness to step out of your comfort zone, learn a new language, and embrace the challenge. This gesture alone speaks volumes about your love and dedication.
Inevitably, you will make mistakes along the way — mixing up words or grappling with pronunciation — but focus on the effort rather than perfection. Ultimately, the most significant fact will be your willingness to learn her language to make her feel special and loved.
Conclusion
Choosing Hindi to craft birthday wishes for your wife allows you to create a truly authentic expression of love. It's an opportunity to connect on a deeper emotional level, honoring her culture and linguistic heritage. So this year, surprise her with a tender "Janmadin Mubarak, Meri Jaan" (Happy Birthday, My Love), and watch your words light up her world on her special day.

ZAKIR SETHUPATHI
nickname; baagee ( rebel in Hindi ) // age; 27 years old - january 8th 1972 // gender/pronouns; cis-man, he/him // occupation; rapper/associate // protected by sawayama // from new delhi, india
quick summary;
Zakir was born in New Delhi, India to a Muslim father and a Hindu mother. The preasure was always on, growing up. To get the highest marks at school, to be the perfect son. Zakir excelled in very little aside from languages. And as a darker skinned brown kid, he was at the mercy of his peers constantly. His uncle, a delhi businessman, travelled often to the USA, and brought back cassettes filled with hip-hop music for his nephews; Zakir and his three younger brothers. Unlike his brothers, Zakir grew obsessed with it. He'd written poetry all his life, and here was something that put poetry to music. Only a month before he turned eighteen, Zakir immigrated to New York City, to the city where hip-hop was born. He'd always thought that these kids were similar to him, facing the same struggles because of the colour of their skin. Reality hit him only a few months into trying to make a name for himself. He continued his attempt at doing exactly what everyone around him was doing, until he realised he was lacking in two things; originality and money. He started working for the Sawayama organisation as an interpreter and translator, able to switch quickly between languages. And this too he began using in his music.
personality;
Zakir has sculpted a personality for himself that he uses when in public, going by his stage name Baagee, meaning rebel in Hindi, he is all suave and charming. He's loose and easy to talk to, will spark up conversations with anyone, and isn't afraid to talk about his passion and his talents. He comes off as loving expensive things, beautiful women, and fast cars, while switching between languages at the drop of a head to impress people.
In the company of friends however, Zakir is much more anxious and reserved. He tends to say fewer words and gives more meaning to gestures and non-verbal communication. He's a romantic at heart, always looking for genuine love from others, and always worried about distorting this image of the suave rapper. He's especially worried of the outside world learning of his bisexuality, after all, a rapper is supposed to be seen with a woman at his side, not another man.
head canons;
Zakir is a polyglot, he was quick to pick up new languages in his youth and has mastered several, while always picking up new ones. At current he's fluent in Hindi, English, Russian, Urdu, and Arabic. While being able to understand and convey a general message in Spanish, Gujarati, and Japanese. And learning Mandarin and Portuguese.
He always wears glasses, most often sunglasses.
Can often be seen scribbling down new ideas in his notebook; sentences he hears that would work good in a song, concepts that would make for good songs, little poems, and quotes from people around him.
He addresses anyone his age with either habibi ( 'my dear' or 'my love' in Arabic ) or bhai ( 'brother' in Hindi / Indic language ), and anyone older than him as auntie or uncle. Does this consistently and with respect.
Despite his mastery of languages, Zakir still has a distinct accent when speaking in Russian, English or Spanish.
connections;
wanted;
friends
enemies
people he can learn languages from
fellow artists (any type of creative)
fans of his music
established;
Anchali Malee Shinawatra - pen pall / unrequited love
Katherine Boyd - friend / mutual banter

Movies I watched this Week # 154 (Year 3/Week 50):
I went crazy this week, but I managed to catch a bunch of good movies: ‘The teacher’s Lounge’, Bi Gan’s ‘A short Story’, ‘The Delinquents’, ‘Battleship Potemkin’, ‘Riders of Justice’, ‘Belle de Jour’, ‘Werner Herzog, Radical Dreamer’, ‘Crock of Gold’, ‘Jazz on a summer’s Day’... So, on average, more than one great film per day - It was worth it!
🍿
The Teachers' Lounge, a new, intense German school drama, with 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes. A conscientious and empathetic teacher tries to do right by her 7th grade students, when accusations of theft are raised against one of them. Her earnest attempts to stand up for fairness and truth, cause everything around her to unravel.
The trailer doesn't hint at how tight and absorbing it is. 9/10.
🍿
3 Chinese shorts by Bi Gan:
🍿 A Short Story is the latest spectacular film from the director of 'Long Day's Journey Into Night'. Magical realism of the most dreamy of emotions. Mystical visions about a black cat, a burning scarecrow in the fog (Photo Above), and a search for "the most precious thing in the world". The search brings the cat to meet 3 figures: A dying robot, a demon magician, and a woman who eats noodles to forget her lover. It was commissioned by the president of a Chinese cat food company, a fan of Gan's work, who gave him complete freedom to create 'anything he wants'. 10/10.
🍿 "My son has the same watch..."
The poet and the singer (Aka Diamond Sutra), a black & white poem about a murder in the countryside.
🍿 Secret Goldfish (2016) is an even shorter poem, which can be viewed even without translation. The English subtitles are here.
🍿
The delinquents, another inexplicably weird Argentinian drama (that doesn't star Ricardo Darín). What a strange existentialist tale of two unremarkably boring bank tellers from Buenos Aires, Moran and Román. The bald one decides to steal a large sum of money from the bank, as a way to escape his soulless life, and in the process implicates his other dull colleague.
An unconventional 3 hours+ rambling metaphor that doesn't focus on a single story line, but instead leisurely jumps from one detail to another, with unconnected music choices that come and go as they please. Quirky, slow and absolutely immersive! 8/10.
🍿
2 Silent era classics:
🍿 First re-watch in 40 years: Eisenstein's epic masterpiece Battleship Potemkin, long considered to be the one of The greatest movies ever made. Still excitingly modern today - 9/10.
🍿 The Unchanging Sea, my first DW Griffith, about a fisherman who suffers from amnesia because of a wreck at sea. It was clearly shot around Malibu!
🍿
Because of this 'Can you teach me your favorite Indian dance moves?', I wanted some outrageously-colorful song and dance Bollywood ridiculousness. Bunty aur Babli is the answer to 'What if Bonnie and Clyde but in Hindi with lots of open shirt sexiness and belly dancing? Suspension of disbelief is required.
🍿
Christmas Special: Another re-watch of my favorite Anders Thomas Jensen's terrific thriller, Riders of justice. It perfectly works on every level: Action, a slice of Danish life, humor, depth, and it's also extremely humane. Always 10/10.
🍿
"I see you need a firm hand..."
After seeing the newly-edited trailer recently, I had to bask in another re-watch of Buñuel's masterful Belle de Jour, the most erotic of all masterpieces, with the coldest, most beautiful 23-year-old masochist in the world. 10/10.
🍿
Another re-watch: The French thriller Tell no one, based on a mystery novel by Harlan Coben, whose "novels often involve the resurfacing of unresolved or misinterpreted events in the past, murders, or fatal accidents and have multiple twists." François Cluzet is the chain smoking pediatrician, whose wife was murdered 8 years ago, when suddenly...
My previous review here.
🍿
2 Norwegian thrillers by Erik Skjoldbjærg:
🍿Insomnia, the original nightmare on which the Christopher Nolan film was remade. Young Bad Cop Stellan Skarsgård comes to arctic city Tromsø to solve a murder mystery, and screws it up, without getting caught. Norsk-Noir, which is not really dark, but blindingly bright, so bright that he can't fall asleep.
🍿 Pioneer is a manly offshore diving thriller, which stars 'Headhunters' Aksel Hennie. The only distinct feature of the story is the background, Norway in the early 80's, when vast oil reserved were discovered in the North Sea, and huge enterprises were ready to start drilling there. 3/10.
🍿
"This was a man!"
I'm not qualified to analyze Willie the Spear-Shaker, so I enjoyed the 1953 version of his Julius Caesar on its surface levels only. With Marlon Brando, James Mason and John Gielgud. Since Caesar was slain at the mid-point of the play, it was mostly about the guilt and justifications of the assassins, especially "Noble Brutus". Apparently, regicide and the political struggle for succession were themes current around 1600, at the time it was written.
[The main visuals I couldn't get over with are the large, decorative floor brushes the Roman centurions wore on top of their Galea helmets. They had to...]
🍿
The quiet earth, an odd post-apocalyptic sci-fi story about 'the last man on earth' from New Zealand. A man wakes up to find that there's nobody left on earth. He struggles with being alone, goes a bit crazy, (tries some cross dressing and playing God), Etc.
When I was a child, I thrived on a similar fantasy (minus the cross dressing), so I enjoyed the first half of the movie. Later on he finds two other survivors, and various 'scientific' explanations are offered, which made it all confusing and senseless.
🍿
Werner Herzog X 3:
🍿 "Werner is a mythological figure" says Wim Wenders, in the recent documentary Werner Herzog, Radical Dreamer. A fantastic, beautiful chronicle into the life and brain of one of the greatest living directors today, and possibly ever. I saw less than 20 of his 75 film output, and I really must get my shit together and go through the rest of this manic, visionary's extensive 'oeuvre'. The trailer. 10/10
"It's injustice in life that we do not have wings"...
🍿 Lessons of Darkness was his impressionistic, ethereal poem about the Kuwaiti oil fires after the first Gulf War. An out of body experience, like an alien that visits the nightmare landscapes and trying to understand its meaning. For some reason, 1992 audiences reacted furiously to this film when it was first screened, accusing it for anesthetizing the horrors of war. (Always blame the messenger!)
🍿 Portrait Werner Herzog, a 1986 self-portrait he did about himself, talking about some of his earlier films. It includes a conversation with his mentor Lotte Eisner, the film critic and co-founder of the Cinémathèque Française.
🍿
6 more documentaries:
🍿 "Fuck itself is the most popular word in the Irish vocabulary..."
I never heard of legendary Irish poet and "Nipple erector" songwriter Shane MacGowen until his recent death, having missed the whole Punk and Pogues eras. So the recent bio-pic Crock of Gold: A Few Rounds with Shane MacGowan was a revelation. But not for long. I am a new convert and started listening to all his terrific songs.
RIP, Shane MacGowan! 10/10.
🍿 Jazz on a Summer’s Day, a magnificent concert film of the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival. Selected for the National Film Registry, and scoring 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. It absolutely encapsulates most idyllic vibes of golden days of summer, and magic of the beautiful East Coast 1950's. And what a line-up: Thelonious Monk, Sonny Stitt, Anita O'Day, Dinah Washington, Gerry Mulligan, Chuck Berry, Louis Armstrong, and Mahalia Jackson with a magical finale of 'The Lord's Prayer'. 10/10.
🍿"Today I learned" about the alternative Monte Verità community outside Lucarno in Switzerland. It was an early-stage "hippy" commune which was established on an empty hill in the late 1890's. This settlement was a vegetarian, free-love, anti-bourgeois, nudist, feminist pacifist artist colony, out of which grew many of the later alternative lifestyle movements. The colony attracted many important early 1900's European figures, from Hermann Hesse, Carl Jung, Rudolph Steiner, Krishnamurti, Lenin and Trotsky, to DH Lawrence, Isadora Duncan, Paul Klee and so many others. There were outdoor group orgies, vegetarian food only, interpretive dance school, famous anarchists pursued by the secret police, Etc. Otto Gross, the mad psychoanalyst considered the founding grandfather of 20th-century counterculture, was one of the early founders.
Freak out is a fascinating 2014 Swedish documentary about the place. It draws parallels between that society these early utopians rebelled against with today's heartless capitalism. It uses too many re-enactments, but is still extremely interesting.
🍿 Al Nakba, a horrifying 4-part series about the tragedy of Palestine, produced by Al Jazeera, and told from the prospective of the dispossessed, as well as some of the "New Historians". Israelis were never told about 'the other side', and until today cannot bear the thought that the Jewish Homeland from its inspection was specifically formulated as a project of systematic ethnic cleansing.
🍿 "Seal's rectum tastes like nuts..."
The Most Remote Restaurant in the World is a beautifully-shot and unusual story. The opening of a two-star Michelin restaurant in Ilimanaq, Greenland, a tiny village of only 53 inhabitants. A nerve-racking race to prepare everything for the first night was as gripping as a Bourne thriller. Sourcing only local ingredients, freshly-killed whale, birds, was fascinating. The successful first night, in spite of all hurdles, was wonderful to watch.
Obviously, this was a vanity project by a wealthy restaurateur (from the Faroe Islands), which caters exclusively for the 1%'ers who are willing to fly from Hong Kong and elsewhere, take a long boat ride, just for the exclusive experience of a 10,000dkk dinner in the middle of nowhere. 7/10.
🍿 Tower is a mostly-animated retelling of the 1966 University of Texas tower massacre. For 18 years it stayed as the deadliest mass shooting in the US. It uses sleek clean-line rotoscoping to recreate the story and the interviews with survivors. But the pretty technique is highly distracting. The modern vernacular used by all the re-creators is specifically from 2016, not the 60's, and the whole experience ends up as an exercise in presentation. A banal and vapid experience. 1/10.
🍿
Laurel and Hardy's Babes in Toyland was the first movie I remember seeing on my own at the local cinema. It must have been 1961, and I was around 8 years old. 62 years later it's an agony to revisit. 1/10.
🍿
2 shorts:
🍿 Anima, a 2019 hallucinatory music video, directed by P T Anderson, to accompany Radiohead Thom Yorke's 3rd studio album. A wordless, dreamy mood piece.
🍿 The Typewriter (Supercut), Ariel Avissar’s homage to typewriters in film and television, set to Leroy Anderson's "The Typewriter".
🍿
Googlewhack used to be a term for 'searching two words on the old Google and being thrilled if only one result is returned'. Dave Gorman's Googlewhack Adventure is an infectious 2004 one man show, beautifully performed and highly documented, about life on the early internet. 10/10.
Gorman is an English comedian. His more recent show, Modern life is goodish, is similar in style, him manically jumping non-stop, meandering from one topic to another. The best part of these are the 'Found Poems'. F. Ex., Badger culling, Fijian currency, The God particle, Flag outrage, The horse meat scandal, Wedding rings for men, Marathon water theft, Dog show controversy, The new pound coin, Candy Crush scandal, Celeb chef, British bake off...
(Actually, they are all collected on one link, here)

Formation of Navya Entertainment
Navya Entertainment, according to Google is one of the best India DJ services in New Jersey, as a matter of fact, in the United States.
We are an entertainment company based in New Jersey mainly focused on Indian weddings and other events. We are a high-quality DJ and emceeing service along with associated services such as stage lighting, dry ice, cold sparkles, etc. to make your event spectacular. Delighting our customers is our number one priority. Along with DJ services for the events, we also provide Hindi/Urdu song writing services for the independent artists such as Neel Nadkarni and for the independent films.
Everyone has dreams and aspirations in life, dreams and aspiration give our life a new dimension. We live in New Jersey. We as a family went to attend the wedding in Salt Lake City in Utah in July 2023. Just before I left for the wedding, my manager called me in his office, it looked like he wanted tell me something but since I mentioned I am going to Utah to attend the wedding, he didn't say what he wanted to say. We attended the wedding in Utah and came back to New Jersey. The very day went back to the office, I learned that half of the staff is getting lay off and since I joined as an independent contractor, my name was on the list as well. This didn't make me nervous at all. I remember going into park and complete one of the incomplete poems that I didn't complete for years. One of the benefits of being an immigrant is that you are confident that you could start all over again.
The idea of forming Navya Entertainment stemmed from my mind while studying Marketing Management at Rutgers University. We started with small events such as baby showers and birthday parties and then diversified our business in an Indian wedding market based on marketing research. When the pandemic hit in 2020 and the entertainment businesses were heavily impacted, Navya Entertainment channeled its creative energy to create two original Hindi songs filmed in a Tri-state area. Other than the services mentioned earlier, our Unique Selling Proposition is a digital game such as “Who wants to be a millionaire” (or “Kaun Banega Crorepati”) that will make your wedding a “never seen before” event.
I started with a gig in upstate New York. It was 4 hours long drive. Since no one else was available, I went with my dad. I got a great response and I was so happy. It's been 5 years now and if you search for Indian Djs in New Jersey or Indian DJs in United States on Google, Navya Entertainment's name will comes up in Top 10.
