Weekly Notes 24/2023

We are in Thrissur; it was unplanned. Usually, our travels are well-planned. But since most of our work is remote, it’s not a bother. But it does disrupt other things.

Weekly Notes 10/2023

This is my 1000th blog post. 2023 is also going to be the 20th year of my blogging. I will write a 20th-year blog post later, but I am surprised the average number of posts per year is 50. Except for 2007, other years have been relatively consistent. And in the last few years, it has been more than average.

The Year that was 2022

I must say 2022 was a better year than 2020 or 2021, both personally and professionally. Many things which we started earlier; started showing results this year. Hopefully, the world has begun recovering from COVID as well.

A very happy new year to you all. I wish you the very best.

Weekly Notes 52/2022

We were supposed to be in Bangalore tomorrow, just in time for the new year. But Anju’s grandmother passed away this morning. She was 90+ years. She had a wonderful life filled with grand-kids, great grand-kids. Death was peaceful. Her image in my head is always of the person reading the newspaper in the morning.
