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…
Random Rambling | Interview Anniversary
It’s my interview anniversary today. Hey, people celebrate 15-days birthday; weekversary, monthversary and whatnot. Why can’t I talk about interview anniversary? It’s not like I’m celebrating it. 14 years ago. On this day, I had interviewed for my current job. It was a pleasant October afternoon. For the past two days, I had been…
Random Rambling | Phlegm Machine
Meet the Phlegm Machine At least twice a year, I turn into what I can only describe as a phlegm machine. Once when the winter is just beginning, and again when it is packing its bags. Like clockwork, my body decides to audition for a one-person orchestra, complete with blocked sinuses, scratchy throat,…
