Weekly Notes 21/2023
I am at IITM, Chennai, for Paradox. It’s my second Paradox festival. I love meeting students, faculty, and other members (at least once a year. I am going back tomorrow night, to Bangalore.
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.
The Bachchao Project hosted the “Data: Public, Private and Beyond” from 12th to 15th May 2023 at Panjim, Goa. It’s an Art on Tech exhibition inspired by The Glass Room. I wanted to go but couldn’t due to personal and work reasons.
I showcased Surveillance in the Bengaluru project to attract more contributors to mapping Surveillance in Bengaluru or other cities.
This Wednesday was the state assembly elections in Karnataka. Hopefully, Karnataka would have voted for a party that is not communal and which will work towards keeping Karnataka ಸರ್ವಜನಾಂಗದ ಶಾಂತಿಯ ತೋಟ (shanthiya thota – Garden of Peace) . Without peace, there is no prosperity.
I usually go by my calendar, especially on working days. Even personal stuff, like my dentist visit, is on my calendar and shared with family. One wrong entry blocked at least half my day this week and created havoc. We underestimate the impact of four hours a lot of times.
