Weekly Notes 25/2024

I am in Cambodia with Appa and Rema Aunty. Since the last few trips, I have liked doing quick daily logs. So, I have been doing the same with our trip here under the tag AngkorWithAppa. It’s been just three days, but I miss my people in Bengaluru a lot. I think it’s...

Weekly Notes 24/2024

Appa turned seventy this week. Appa is reasonably fit for his age. Hopefully, I will be as active and physically healthy as he is when I turn seventy. He is pretty excited about his upcoming trip. Amma would have also turned seventy this week. They are a few days apart. I miss her.

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.

Weekly Notes 21/2024

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.

Weekly Notes 20/2024

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.

Echo and Uma 3

Echo, Pathu and Uma

We introduced Uma to Pathu and Echo on day one, and she has grown up with them since then. Echo and Pathu have been friendly to people and toddlers even before Uma. So it wasn’t difficult to introduce Uma to them, even though she was the youngest baby they had met. It’s also the first time they are living with a human baby. Their relationship is that of siblings.
