its always my dadšŖš»
During a routine cleanup after our home renovation, I found a dusty old box filled with my novels, my fatherās law books, and other long-forgotten things.
Nothing unusual⦠until my eyes fell on a small vintage book , almost like an old diary with a classic worn cover.
I opened it.
On the very first page, written in bold red ink, was a title in a cool handwriting:
ā2003 , Bismillah, My Diaryā
Signed: abdussatarvp.
It was my fatherās diary.
A diary he wrote when he was younger , long before I truly knew his journey.
As I read through it, I was stunned.
Page after page revealed his world:
His successes, his failures, his dreams, his setbacks, his pride, his pain, his grit, and the raw hard work that made him the āSatharā we all know today.
Some pages made me smile.
Some hit me right in the heart.
And some⦠genuinely gave me goosebumps.
For the first time, I wasnāt just seeing my father , I was witnessing his evolution.
And it inspired me so deeply that I thought:
Maybe I should also document my journeyā¦
My emotions, my attempts, my failures, my wins , the chapters that will someday define me.
So the next day, full of motivation, I took a notebook and tried to start writing.
But⦠for no surprise:
I was cooked.
The words refused to cooperate.
My brain isn't brainig!!.
So I paused and thought:
āIf I canāt write like him⦠maybe there's some other ways after all I'm a techy....ā
And thatās when a supercalifragilistic expialidocious idea struck me.
Introducing CHRONICLE
A web app that turns your life into a manga-style story.
Yes. You read that right.
Hereās how it works:
You write one journal entry every week.
Chronicle transforms it into a manga-style chapter , complete with visuals, drama, emotions, and storytelling.
Weeks become chapters.
Months become seasons.
Years become arcs.
Your life becomes your own animated universe , filled with climaxes, twists, growth, and all the moments that shape you.
Imagine revisiting your past not through plain textā¦
but in a cinematic, emotional, immersive format that makes your own journey feel extraordinary.
Because it is extraordinary.
Inspired by my fatherās handwritten diary, Chronicle aims to give this generation a new way to preserve their stories ā not just to remember them, but to feel them.
If my dad could inspire me 20 years later with a few pages of inkā¦
imagine what our stories could inspire someday , if we capture them in the most powerful way we can.
⢠Your life deserves to be documented.
⢠Your journey deserves to be felt.
⢠And maybe your future self deserves those goosebumps too.

The way i choose to impress my Dadāļø
Last day at dinner, my dad was in one of his regular meetings (he is a judge).
His phone was on the table, and I heard someone say IPC 144.
My mind quickly went, āYes yes, I know this one.ā
So I said: āThat law⦠is about⦠something.ā
Dad just looked at me like:
Please donāt say anything more.
He always hopes Iāll become a Collector or Judge someday.
But honestly, Iām not built for that. Iām shy. I like staying quiet.
Tech is where I feel comfortable....
Still, Iāve always respected how much he cares about helping people through law.
So I thought⦠maybe I can help the same way, but using the skills I actually have.
Thatās how Kaaval started.
A small AI tool to give simple legal guidance.
Even today, so many people get cheated or suffer
just because they donāt know the law
or donāt know who to ask for help.
If a little clarity can protect someoneās rights
then I wanted to make that clarity easy to reach.
and the best part is it's also can use in Malayalam.
Nothing big. Just a beginning.
A small attempt to make legal help easy for people.
Kaaval is like my dad, but in AI formā¦
always available
and wonāt roast me for IPC mistakes :)
How Kaaval works
Ask anything about laws [type or voice]
(What it is, why it exists, how it works)
Any doubts about legal rights, police, FIR, traffic rules etc.
Upload documents like fines, notices, bills, legal papers
Kaaval will try to explain what they mean
= Instant answers in simple language
No complicated terms. No confusion.
If you want, you can try it here
Honestly still i donāt fully remember IPC 144
but building Kaaval felt like the right thing to do šŖ

I stopped waiting for Google to understand me , and thatās how Babu was born š
You know,
Iāve always used Bixby and Google Assistant on my phone. Theyāre smart, helpful, and can do so many things with just a voice command. But one day, while working on my laptop, I caught myself thinking:
"Wouldnāt it be great if I could control my laptop the same way?"
I searched online, and sure, there were plenty of tutorials, tools, and ready-made assistants. But none of them really felt like my own. I wanted something I could tweak, experiment with, and truly make my own.
So I decided to build it myself. Thatās how Babu was born.
What Babu Can Do
Babu is my personal, offline desktop assistant. He can:
Listen and respond to my voice
Add, show, and manage tasks
Record and save voice notes
Open apps and websites instantly
Play music from my computer
Lock, restart, or shut down the system
Basically, I can now boss my laptop around, and it actually listens!
How I Built Babu
Babu is built entirely in Python using:
Tkinter for the interface
SpeechRecognition for voice input
pyttsx3 for offline text-to-speech
Pygame for playing music
JSON & OS modules for managing tasks and controlling the system
And the best part? Babu works fully offline, so no internet or cloud required. Every day I keep improving him , adding new features, experimenting, and learning along the way.
What I Learned
Building Babu wasnāt just about coding a tool. It was about solving a problem for myself, experimenting with technology, and enjoying the process of creation.
Itās funny how much fun you can have when you build your own assistant , and itās even cooler when it actually listens to you.
Sometimes the best way to learn is to just start building, no matter how small the project seems.
And trust me, Babuās story is far from over š¾
if you want it DM meeee............
