My Ideal Day
My Sunday began at 6 in the morning in the streets of White Town, Punducherry, following Monika and Kiara as we looked for a rickshaw driver to take us to Serenity Beach to watch the sunrise. After Monika successfully flagged one down, we all loaded into the auto and clenched tightly to our belongings as…
The Beginning of the End
Alright, here we go. We are in the last stretch of the quarter. As the sun rose this morning, half-asleep students of GCIL got off the train from Pondicherry, stumbled into cars and rickshaws, and made our way back to UTC. Home sweet home. I was disorientated in the morning and only managed to unpack…

I had so much fun!
Honestly, it’s been a rough two weeks since my last blog post. I’ve been sick, from coughing to mysterious bug bites to rashes, I really thought it could be the end of the line. I feel differently after one of the top 20 weekends I have had in my life. That’s top 1.8% of weekends…
My Favorite City in India (so far)
This weekend was a whole lot of random. I came into Pondicherry with no expectations and no plans besides just figuring stuff out as I go. Upon our arrival on Saturday, I took a dip into the ocean and set out for a long day. On Saturday, I just walked around and stumbled into odd…

The past few weeks
With a terrible sickness moving its way through my GCIL peers over the last few weeks, and a lot, good and bad, happening in Seattle since my last blog, it has been a strange few weeks. To focus on the positive, despite a persistent cough that I have apparently been blissfully sleeping through each night,…
Rinse and Repeat
Week seven has been never ending talks about our GCIL projects with our teams and peers. Most of us are spending too much time at the UTC dorms this week designing, prototyping, and scrapping projects. Our final presentations and flights out of Bangalore only a few weeks away, I have started to wonder what I…

Thinking like an Entrepreneur
After feeling pretty useless last week being sick, the tables have turned with the Rise Bionics team making a comeback on our home stretch of wrapping things up. Although I can sense Arun is disappointed with the progress we haven’t made, I am confident he will be pleased with the deliverables we will be presenting…
Mr. Vishwanath
As per usual I’m late to blog readings. As I round the corner to the first floor couches, the worst sound hits my ears, “Quinn, do you have a blog to read for us today?”. Crap, I guess maybe I should have checked the blog schedule last night, but I also vividly remember thinking at…

Why was the shawarma place closed yesterday
Hey there; ‘got another Yak blog for ya today. It’s the fourth one if you can believe it. Anyways, after a long day at the office, I am really tired and not sure what to write about. I first thought that I would write about how the shawarma shop being closed yesterday made me sad….
No Longer Sick!!
It is 6:14 pm Tuesday, February 13th, 2024. It is 81 degrees Fahrenheit, mostly clear skies, and I am in Bangalore, India writing yet again from a UTC couch. Anyways, after being sick all of last week, I was able to finally leave the house for a substantial time without passing out and enjoy the…
