I have been to Varanasi before, and I have walked on ghats. What I had not noticed during those walks was the number of dogs and how social they were. Once you start noticing, they are everywhere. If you know me already, you know that I am not a great photographer. Photography is...

I also wonder why Dhoni or Akshay are the highest taxpayers in India and not the richest, like Ambani or other billionaires. We need to change the definition of ‘rich...
Uma’s sleeping cycle has changed a bit. She now sleeps from 7 PM to 6:30 AM, with a short nap in the morning and a longer nap after lunch. Her diet includes most of what we eat, but less spicy.

After 15+ years of using Twitter, I am moving to a self-hosted, federated ActivityPub-based microblog. Too many buzzwords? They all mean something and something concrete. From now on, Twitter will be secondary, and the primary post will be on @thej@social.thej.in. If you are on Mastadon or any other ActivityPub compatible server, search for @thej@social.thej.in and follow me. I intend to follow everyone back in the initial period.
There are many ways to subscribe to this blog. Email is probably the best.
