I’ll be in Mumbai from 13to to 16th October, and again from 9th to 12th November. It’ll be good to be back home for a while, I miss my folks there. And I can carry some more books over here. Flying has become relatively cheap in India—a couple of years back no one would have [...]
I know a lot of things, but ask me what I know and I’m at a loss at what to say. We’re the Google generation—all the information in the world is just a search away. I think we can’t help being affected by that. I know a lot of things, but don’t have a lot [...]
This is just a quick jot-down of what I think about my new job/city. Haven’t quite processed everything yet, so it’s bound to be incoherent. My flight to Noida was fun and I reached here on time. The city seems nice. I’m staying with four other people in a 3-bedroom place. Space is not much [...]
I start work at Imfinity from Monday. It’s based at Noida (near Delhi), so I’m relocating there (on Sunday). I’m quite excited, and a bit worried. But hey, what’s life without a few changes? Preparations are underway for the big move—I mostly watch as my folks decide what stuff I’ll need if I am to [...]
I’ve resigned from my current job. I don’t want to go into my reasons for quitting here, but it was a decision I’ve been building-up to for quite some time. I’m currently serving out my three months’ notice period, after which I go free. Now, against all advice, I had not started looking for a [...]
Today is a miserable day. It’s raining since yesterday evening—not heavily, but relentlessly. I got up today and tried to go to work. Spent a miserable 45 minutes at the bus stop, got drenched but didn’t get a bus. Came back home, changed, and tried again after half-an-hour. Spent another 45 minutes getting wet, to [...]
Have got a lot on my mind lately; time for a mind sweep. Ideas: I haven’t had any (good ones) in a long time. Am worried my mind’s going fallow. Books: Re-reading House of Chains while waiting for Reaper’s Gale to be shipped. Don’t know why it’s taking so long. Indiaplaza went and canceled Devices [...]
I made a decision recently: to not take any pics from my cameraphone. In fact, to not take any more pictures at all. Of course, this is just a temporary choice. Something just for now. I have always imagined having some photography skills; maybe it’s even true for all I know. For a time, I [...]
I just went over to the Trends page at Google Reader, and here’s what they say: From your 148 subscriptions, over the last 30 days you read 2,502 items, starred 0 items, and shared 12 items. I was shocked for a minute, then I realized most of the items I’ve ‘read’ are from the programming.reddit.com [...]
We’re defined by our limits: what we can not do and what we will not do. There are so many things I can’t do, so most of the times I end up thinking about the things I can do. While it is a much more comforting endeavor, it does not tend to lead one onward [...]
