This is my blog!

Finally getting to settle down, so here's the new setup!

Our baby Sunanda was born on Sunday, 24th April, 2022

What do you get when Western neoliberal values of silicon valley mix with India's hierarchical, divided and trustless society.

I have been using and developing on WordPress for ten years and I just found out how subtitles are added to videos uploaded to the media library.

A few of my projects stopped working recently because Google switched of its version 3 sheets API. I was using tabletop.js to parse data into JSONs.

Almost an year into active gardening, I am happy to report that nature has been friendly to my efforts in our backyard. Some plants didn't survive the winter but new one's have taken up space and are thriving right now. In spring I had started tomato from seed and it has grown to become the […]

I was afraid that big tech and surveillance capitalism would kill the world wide web – I still am to be honest. What I mean is kill the “essence” of the web not the entire thing of course. There’s so much profit and market share and “potential” still to be sucked from users of the […]

I have had the opportunity and privilege to see a lot of India by road. I never thought I would get to do such long road trips, but it all became a reality 5 years ago when I drove from New Delhi to Bhutan!

I don’t know if there’s a word for this.

It started with mint and rosemary, and now the backyard is brimming with coriander, arugula, curry plant seedlings, […]

I'll be documenting what's next for this website here. I make a lot of lists but never at the right place and right time - hopefully this will be a reference for some time to come!

Since the beginning of my photography hobby, I was using Flickr to share and manage albums worthy of public attention. Like many products, Flickr couldn't stay afloat without charging its users. So I have said goodbye to it and have instead decided to use Chevereto. Still need some time to reorganize the pictures though.

This is not the first time I have started a blog. But hopefully this is the final home for it.
