Weekly Notes 41/2022
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.

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.
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.
Sometimes I am surprised that I am the first generation graduate in my family. And so much change has happened in one generation. Imagine the folks who have had the generational advantage.
We are back in Bangalore. The air feels different, for sure. Bangalore has excellent weather but the air? I don’t know anymore.
Echo and Pathu like long walks. I do like long walks with them. Usually, it isn’t easy in Bangalore with lots of traffic. But here in Thrissur, they go for long walks on pretty roads.
