Weekly Notes 22/2024
It’s that time of the year (Weekly Notes 21/2023) again. I am in Chennai for Paradox. I like these yearly visits. The year 2023/24 has been exceptional. Some of the students who had completed the course have been placed.
A container for all my views with excerpts from technology, travel, films, books, kannada, friends and other interests. I am Thejesh GN, friends call me Thej.
I have had a busy week at work. Lots of non-technical work got done this week. Running an organization means lots of meta work. I took Tuesday off. I wasn’t feeling great. I was exhausted for some reason. Over time, I have realized that when I am tired, it’s better to take the days off than to push through things. I do much better the next day.
Uma’s sleeping cycle has changed a bit. She now sleeps from 7 PM to 6:30 AM, with a short nap in the morning and a longer nap after lunch. Her diet includes most of what we eat, but less spicy. She doesn’t like eggs as of now :(, which are important in our diet, so we keep trying different ways to introduce them.
The weekend was good. It was slow; I mostly spent time at Home. Since it was also the beginning of the month, I spent time paying bills. Echo wasn’t feeling well this week. He is a baby when he is sick. Thankfully, he is recovering. Hopefully, he will be alright by next week.
We have AC now. I don’t know how big of an event that is for anyone. For me, it’s huge. I never thought I would get one. But here we are. The summer of 2024 has changed everything. Strangely enough, it rained today and yesterday, bringing down the temperature a bit. Hopefully, it will continue to rain more, so we won’t have to use AC.
Today was election day here in Bengaluru. I voted against Fascism. After voting, Appa and I went to see Kammsandra Kere (lake). It was redone and inaugurated last year. The lake work seemed okay, but there was not even a single drop of water. I wonder if baragala (drought) has been declared in Bengaluru. I think we are in a drought.
