Weekly Notes 27/2024
Welcome to the second half of 2024. This year is flying by. Days feel slow, but months and weeks are speeding.
- It's been a hectic week at work with lots to do. The start of a new quarter is always busy. Ideally, I should avoid taking a vacation at the beginning or end of a quarter to prevent vacation work from piling up on top of the regular quarterly tasks. I've made significant progress. Next week should be a regular week.
- I wrote a blog post about the bill-splitting apps I have used. I also released a userscript to add Download/Export as a CSV feature to Grouptabs.
- I watched Ullozhukku (Undercurrent). It's intense. Parvathy and Urvashi are excellent actors, do their part well, and are very real. I liked the movie except for the climax. I have reservations about its climax. Watch it; they have subtitles in the theater. I also watched Kalki 2898 AD. I like the making, graphics, etc. The story is a mix of Indian mythology and post-apocalyptic fiction. I have some reservations about the story, but that is for another post. Some scenes seem inspired by Avengers, Madmax, Wakanda, etc. Kids will love it.
- We went out for a friend's birthday lunch at Bologna in Indiranagar. I think it was average.
- I started attending sessions on the Montessori for parents at Earth School. It's a five-session series. I am attending only three of them. I like the Montessori education system. Currently, I am trying to understand the system better.
- My Yoga classes at the Practice Room have restarted after their annual break. I couldn't go on Tuesday, but I did today. I should be regular from next week.
