Weekly Notes 09/2025

My neck is doing okay. Resting, i.e., not looking at the phone but sleeping, has greatly helped. I’m still wearing the cervical collar, as the doctor advised. I’ve also slowed down on the work front this week because of it. Hopefully, I will be able to catch up next week.

Weekly Notes 08/2025

Work went well I am on top of it. I have closed the things I wanted to close this week and the pending tasks from last week. It feels good to have a completed task list on a Friday evening.

Weekly Notes 05/2025

I am back in Bengaluru. I took Saturday early morning Shatabdi. All of us went to pick up Pathu from Stay. She did do a bit of drama once she was back at home. Who wouldn’t? :)

Quote I found on the back of a token - "ವಿಶ್ವಾಸವಿದ್ದರೆ ಪ್ರೀತಿ. ಪ್ರೀತಿಯಿದ್ದರೆ ಗೌರವ." Which roughly translates to "There is Love if there is trust. There is Respect if there is love" 4

Time flies faster than we can think of. Nagarathna Memorial Grant – 2025 is open for applications; this is our eighth edition. When I started it, I didn’t think much about how it would turn out in a couple of years. So, there were no expectations. But it has grown into its own...

Weekly Notes 01/2025

Uma met her another set of cousins this week/end. We visited the local temple to see the elephant with her on Saturday. Uma wanted to pet the elephant :) On Monday, we went to the beach to see the sunset. Uma loves water but has yet to figure out the ocean and waves...

The Year that was 2024

After 2020’s upheaval, I hoped we’d recovered, but 2024 brought new challenges, especially late in the year. Personally, it was decent—I restarted motorcycling, traveled, and enjoyed time with loved ones. Work was steady. As we navigate forward, may 2025 bring peace, meaningful adventures, and cherished moments with loved ones. Stay kind, and embrace the journey ahead!
