The first place I'm writing about is a place called Yol Camp, This town is based on a hillside in the Kangra district in the state of Himachal Pradesh. This place is near Dhramsala, which more famous due to the the Tibetan Government in exile. I've lived in this town twice, the first time when Iwas doing kindergarten, and then more recently in class 8th and 9th. I remember a few things from my first stay. I used to go to a school called the Sacred Heart School, which is about 8 KM away from Yol. And the other time I studied in Kendriya Vidalaya (Central School).

This place has a lot of temples around it. This place also served as a jump of point to visit other cities and towns in North India, like Pathankot, Jammu, Vaishno Devi(a very big pilgrimage spot). A very picturesque locale. As the whole town is based on the hillside, and the roads up the hill are inclined at a 70 degree angle, and is wont to happen, a lot of accidents take place.

Last words: A very Sleepy Town, absolutely no crime, ideal retirement home (let me otta here)

For prices and features, please go to Prices in India of New Kindles 3G+WiFi and WiFi editions Original Post: My wife decided that she needed to gift me a Kindle for our anniversary. I asked a colleague, if her husband (who was traveling to the US) could carry back one. He couldn't, because of an erratic travel schedule. So we decided to order one right here directly since Amazon was kind enough to open up direct shipping to India. So we ordered on a Tuesday evening (India Time) and Amazon being Amazon shipped the device straight away on the same day itself. I very eagerly tracked the package using the DHL sites (yes, I used three different DHL sites, US, UK and India. They give different info when the package is in that respective country) and in three days flat it was here across the seven seas at Delhi airport. Only I was in Noida which is an interstate delivery for DHL. Which meant that I had to fill out an ar...

Meta-Prompting: Why AI Should Write Your System Prompts

I was wrestling with creating a series of seven engagement emails for a client—carefully crafted messages that demonstrated a new concept in email marketing. Each email needed specific components: client positioning, footer elements, engagement currency, and brand alignment. After hours of iteration, I finally had a complete seven-email series that worked. But then I faced the real challenge: how could I replicate this entire sequence for other clients efficiently? More importantly, how could I enable other team members to create these sophisticated email sequences without going through the same lengthy development process? Instead of trying to write a system prompt myself, I asked Gemini in AI Studio to help me create one. Through our collaborative conversation, we developed an interactive agent that was far more sophisticated than anything I could have written manually. The resulting system prompt was extraordinarily detailed—it included exact conversation flows, technical HTML speci...
