Blood Donation

Quite a few classmates from BTL used to donate blood at Narayana Hrudayalaya. Our college seemed like the emergency blood bank for the hospital. I did try, but I couldn’t. I was underweight. Once I left the college, I didn’t think much about it except onetime when I donated for a friend’s relative in 2011, considering that I used to run @tweet4blood. It seems strange. But this year it changed.

Create a Vachana GNOME Extension Using Argos

I like to read a stanza of Vachana every day, and I generally visit Vachana Sanchaya to do that. They have a widget ಇಂದಿನ ವಚನ aka Today’s Vachana. Which picks a random(?) Vachana and shows it to you on their home page. But then its not fun to visit the site everyday. So I wrote a script so it appears on my Desktop.

NMG+GSUS – 2021 – Results

I am sorry for being late. 2021 has not been an easy year, personally. With so many things going around me, I couldn’t give mind-space or time to work on it. Since this is close to my heart, I couldn’t decide without spending time on it. That said, we have the results now.

41

What a crazy year this has been. I don’t know how to keep track of time. I am 41 today, and it seems like a year passed in second. Anyway, I am blessed that my life and life of people around me have been okay. We survived.
