COVID-19 Diaries| DESERTED STREETS

This is one of the busiest roads in Pune, at 8:33 am. I clicked this photo just as my office took a sharp right turn. Not too shabby for a passing shot, huh? The CM has declared that schools and colleges remain close until March 31, 2020. I did not know this will result in…

Shut The Beep Up | Why Did I Change My Attire?

This is the second article in “Philosophy Of Life” Series. Sometimes I like being philosophical or just want to ramble everything that comes to mind. I would try to keep such posts to a minimum – once in a month. If people like it, they can request me for more 🙂

Roundup | February 2020

February (of a leap year, to be noted) was off to a poor start. My AdSense account stopped showing ads and earned nothing for a few days. The blog stats also reduced to half and I could not post as frequently as I had hoped. Kindle Unlimited royalty is also decreasing by the day. Has…
