Hey Folks,

I am writing to you from the Southern Hemisphere. August feels a bit different here than what I have been used to for the past five years. It's bitterly cold and rainy, with a silver lining that spring will be right around the corner.

I am not writing this to talk about the weather, of course. I have a few things to share.

What will you read in this issue?

First of all, I am trying out this new format for this bi-monthly issue, so it is easier to share some updates rather than spam your inboxes with a new email on random days.

I hope that I can share some updates from my writings and everyday work in these newsletter issues. The writings from my blog, personal website, and other technical websites I intend to post.

Let's get started!

I had a few thoughtful nights where I had a retrospective look at the year gone by and my time spent in Germany. Compared to my time in Chicago, USA, it was quite a different experience on the professional front, which made me question a lot of things. Hence, I wanted to write about Belief.
