So my father had to go through the MRI process due to an emergency. Thankfully he is safe and back at home now. He is doing well. We got a copy of his MRI images on a CD when he got discharged; These are my experiments with those images.
The Indian government maintains the directory and hierarchy of local governments and administrative areas in India called the Local Government Directory (LGD). Recently I wanted to map them to WikiData items. This means I wanted to map the administrative areas in the local government to items on WikiData. Update them if necessary.
The last year 2020, was terrible in terms of reading. I heard a lot of podcasts but didn’t read much. This year’s goal is to read 25 Kannada books minimum; any books I read in English are special. You can track them under the tag #25KA2021 on my social blog. In Jan and Feb, I read five, which is a decent start.

What a crazy year! I guess everyone was hoping this year will end soon. It has now. But for some reason, I think 2021 won’t be that different. Yes, there is a vaccine, and we all might get one.

Let’s hope “we” can together rebuild it.
