In the past three years, NMG results were delayed for various reasons. This year, I aimed to stay on schedule and managed to do so. I announced them on April 14th, just like I said I would. I am pleased about it. This year (2024) is NMG’s seventh year. It’s been eight years since Amma...
NMG – 2024 – Results
Finally, I am on time this year, and the results are here. There were 350+ applications this year. I spent a lot of time in the last two weeks reading and filtering them. There were many eligible and exciting applications, but I am limited by our total funds. Thanks to friends for pitching in. This year’s total grant amount is 2,90,000. Kids scholarship of 1 Lakh is outside the initial budget that I had allocated for NMG. So its more like the base NMG is now 2 Lakhs, rest of it came from friends of NMG.

Node-Red is already running at my home, so installing it was not required. Since the data was always stored on my instance of CouchDB, I didn’t have to do any migration there. I moved the automation to Node-Red And viewed it using HTML and CouchDB Views.

We are back in Bangalore. We spent almost a week in Bali celebrating Uma’s first birthday. We walked quite a bit. I wrote about two of them (Ubud and Sanur). I was doubtful if we could walk with Uma in Bali’s heat, but we could, and she did well. They were tiring (good tiring kind)...
