Sourabh Singhal.

Welcome to Mr. Singhal's Perspective — a space where I write about the things I find fascinating, confusing, inspiring, or worth thinking about more carefully.

I am a Data Engineer by profession, working with data pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and the systems that make modern software run. But my curiosity doesn't stay within those boundaries. I find myself equally absorbed by questions about society, economics, space, human behaviour, and the quiet ways that technology is reshaping how we live.

This blog started on Blogspot in 2018 — a simple place to put thoughts that were too long for a tweet and too informal for a research paper. The writing has always been personal, direct, and driven by genuine curiosity rather than any particular agenda.

What you'll find here

Essays on technology — especially the parts the hype tends to obscure. Reflections on Indian society, economics, and the paradoxes of a country moving at multiple speeds simultaneously. Occasional forays into science and space, because the universe is genuinely stranger and more beautiful than our daily lives tend to remind us. And stories — because sometimes the most direct path to a new perspective is through a well-told human story.

On writing

I write to think. The act of putting an idea into clear sentences forces a clarity that thinking alone rarely achieves. If something I have written makes you see a familiar thing from a new angle — or disagree strongly enough to form your own counter-argument — then it has done its job.
