I got a Christmas gift from a friend. I loved it. They wanted me to sing a Christmas song. That’s something I can’t do. Instead, I chose to recite the poem ಕರುಣಾಳು ಬಾ ಬೆಳಕೆ by BM Shree. Originally called “Lead, Kindly Light” titled “the Pillar of the Cloud” was written by John Henry Newman, an English priest. He wrote it during his difficult times.
f you are in the Python world (or not), you probably are using dbcli/pgcli for accessing the Postgres database. pgcli is Postgres CLI with autocompletion and syntax highlighting. Similarly, there are CLIs for MySQL, SQLite, Redis, etc. If you are in the mood to explore other CLI tools, you can trey SQLLine. It’s one CLI for many RDBMS.
It was not better or worse than 2020. Well, it was worse than 2020. In 2020 we saw a mismanaged lock-down. In 2021 we saw thousands of deaths due to a mismanaged pandemic. It was disconcerting. Even the discussions around it were disturbing. At this point, even 2022 doesn’t look that great. Hopefully, it won’t be as bad as 2021. 🤞.
Quite a few classmates from BTL used to donate blood at Narayana Hrudayalaya. Our college seemed like the emergency blood bank for the hospital. I did try, but I couldn’t. I was underweight. Once I left the college, I didn’t think much about it except onetime when I donated for a friend’s relative in 2011, considering that I used to run @tweet4blood. It seems strange. But this year it changed.
