Creative Work
A selection of my projects across writing, vibe-coding, business and personal knowledge management (PKM).





My Story
I am Manoj Nayak, a writer, vibe-coder, and a communication specialist driven by a passion for a better world for humanity.
I inherited my dads manufacturing business and ran it to the ground in fourteen years, and since engineers can do anything they want, i started organising salsa dance parties, also teamed with a friend for a jazz & poetry event, I wanted some neighbourly love so I started hyperlocal newspapers and building online communities, I did that for 12 years, can you believe it?
Happiness is the purpose of life
I long for connections and bliss, I wonder where those beautiful connections of our childhood have disappeared? I think the word has no equivalent in English, it is called “Apnapan”.
In my personal life, I want to discover if there is a God, and then get some powers, just for fun. Reading & Writing are great sources of happiness for me now, as more rigorous activities like sports and sex are out of reach.🥱 Yeah, the hard fact about getting old.
I am a bad polymath in my work.
Now I am looking to help visionary leaders to communicate and realise their dreams with UWC. I am terribly addicted to a phenomenon called Vibe-coding, please check out the apps I have built in the Apps section of my portfolio.
Papa is a rolling stone
Currently, the nomad bug has hit me hard, I am on the road, with just 2 sets of kurta and pyjama, 3 underwear, one shorts and a T-shirt, 1 jacket, and my sleeping bed sheets. Since January 2025, I have been to Mahakhumb for two months, Benaras & Rishikesh for two months, Jaipur again for two months, and currently stationed at Udipi for God knows how many days or months.
I think I am running away from technology to explore the world, I don’t want to have more technology in my life, so I am trying to meet as many people as possible and have conversations rather than sit in front of my devices.
Revitalised by AI.
The world of AI has given me a second wind in my career, and when I thought I had nothing to work at, I found AI to the rescue.
My Portfolio
This portfolio is a window into my world of creation.
Do check out my app section, try the Hanuman chalisa translation app, I think Hanuman chalisa is the most beautiful Indian literature ever written. Also, my note-taking app is a best seller and the essay writing app is as sexy, writing apps can get with a lot of bugs 🙄. My newsletters are full of me, but if you want to indulge go ahead and subscribe. My medium articles are a mixed bag, but my scroll stack long-form stories are highly recommended, check out Sadhu Laxmandas from my Rishikesh experience.
