Weekly Notes 42/2022
My friends are moving to the US for a while. I miss them already. At this point, I have more friends outside India than in India. This is probably true for others too. I think this is the second wave. The first wave was around 2010, almost ten years back.

It’s my birthday week. If you have been reading this blog, you know I turned 42, and I don’t see much difference. But it was a better year than the last two.
42
I am 42 today. It doesn’t feel very different, nor do I know the answer to everything. All I know is I feel better than in 2020 and 2022, which were personally the worst years due to COVID-19. Thank you for all your wishes.
Weekly Notes 40/2022
This week we celebrate the birthdays of Gandhi and Shastri. Two honest men Indian politics has ever seen. What I appreciated most in Gandhi was his sense of self-criticism and his ability to speak/write about his weakness in public. I don’t think normals can do it then or even today. In Shastri, his simplicity and ability to remain sane while in power and give up the power when required amazes me. It just seems too farfetched in today’s society.
