Friday Frenzies | Drawing and Me #4

  I told ya, this box is going to be an inspiration for many drawings to come, and it sure has. Over three weekends, I worked on these two pieces. The one on the left took two attempts, two weekends. On its own, it looked fine. After adding the second one, both looks like leaning…

Friday Frenzies | Drawing and Me #3

TGIF! Okay, so we’re back to experimenting with the rainbow pencils. I never said I’m making art. Just random things. Also, my 18-months-old nephew bullied his way in. I guess he got the memo that “we’re making random strokes on paper.” I think he can grow up to be an artist specializing in abstract art…

Friday Frenzies | Drawing and Me #2

TGIF! After posting Friday Frenzies | Drawing and Me, I knew I have more to say on this subject and I would be coming back. So here I am, two weeks later. Let’s first talk about the supplies I purchased. DOMS Colour Pencils Set of 24 Yes, I bought two, one for myself and one for…

Thursday Thrills | A Month of Home-made Room AC

  Summer this year was hottest ever, craziest ever. 44°C summer. 6 air coolers running in the house making it sound like a factory instead of a house. And I still ended up with a ceiling fan in a slow-dance on speed 2. Why? Because coolers don’t just cool. They also go: “RRRRRRR-ghlup-ghlup-ghlup” all day…

Friday Frenzies | Drawing and Me

TGIF! Allah knows, I couldn’t draw to save my position in class. I usually scored 18-20 out of 50, even though I felt it was unfair. I wasn’t THAT bad but I knew I wasn’t an expert. I could never draw a line the way I intended. The best I did was in class 9,…

Random Rambling | Amazon Categories

Here’s a random rambling for today, because… why not? I was innocently browsing through Amazon’s Short Stories category the other day — not for research, not for literary enlightenment, but for something far more noble. I was trying to bulk-up my Goodreads 2026 Reading Challenge. (P.S I’ve planned to read 30 books this year. I…

Friday Frenzies | First of 2026

TGIF! Frenzy is absolutely justified, right? It’s Friday, the last working day. I have the weekend, followed by two days PTO. I’m super stoked. This week was crazy. Even though many team members were on vacation, my life wasn’t easy as I was supposed to finish an epic. With age, I’m becoming more forgetful about…

Thursday Thrills | Party to Banti Hai

This week was crazy. This year was crazier. Maybe, someday, when I have the time and patience, I’ll write all about it (I have notes, y’know) but not today, not for a foreseeable future. The Invitation So, I was racing against time to finish things, last day and all (for the deliverable, nothing to do…

Welcome 2026 | New Year Resolutions

Happy New Year!!! To Those who believe in that kinda stuff. I don’t, but then new year marks a fresh quota of many things (Like casual leaves are credited to the Timeoff calendar and what not). See, new year is important. As I said a few years ago, I am not a “New Year Resolutions”…

Thursday Thrills | Merry Xmas

Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way. Oh! what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh. Hey! It is Christmas. The celebration for me is not Christmas but the fact that I got a day off, a day I can use to cross a few items off my never-ending list…
