## Geopolitics

- [The Age of Multi-Alignment](https://midoreigh.com/blog/the-age-of-multi-alignment.md): Why middle powers increasingly refuse to pick a side — and why that might be the most stable thing about an unstable world.

## Tech

- [How Every Ornament on This Site Is Drawn in Code](https://midoreigh.com/blog/drawn-in-code.md): No image files, no icon fonts: a short tour of the yantra, the gilt frames and the emblems, and the few lines of geometry behind them.
- [Jugaad at Scale: What Public Digital Rails Teach Builders](https://midoreigh.com/blog/jugaad-at-scale.md): Frugal ingenuity used to mean hacks. When it becomes shared infrastructure, it changes how an entire economy builds software.

## Culture

- [A Field Guide to Block-Print Geometry](https://midoreigh.com/blog/block-print-geometry.md): Ajrakh, ikat and bandhani: three Indian textile traditions, three ways of turning a simple rule into an endless surface.
- [Maximalism Is a Worldview](https://midoreigh.com/blog/maximalism-is-a-worldview.md): Notes on Indian colour, pattern and noise — and why "more is more" is a philosophy, not a decorating mistake.

## Notes

- [എഴുത്തിന്റെ നദി](https://midoreigh.com/blog/ezhuthinte-nadi.md): പല ഭാഷകളിൽ എഴുതുന്നതിനെക്കുറിച്ച് ഒരു ചെറിയ കുറിപ്പ്.
