Thanks for your patience, everyone. It took a lot of work to process this year’s applications. There were lots of good applications. We are a micro-grant, but that said, this is the biggest year for NMG, with 5.6 lakhs in the grant pool, thanks to friends of NMG – Shweta/Ashwini(60K), Divya(25K), Miss.Y(30K) and...

#30DaysOfDXing is where I am trying to receive various radio wave transmissions and listen to them using either my Radio, SDR, etc. I am currently using ShortwaveSchedule, Short-Wave Info, ShorWave DB, QSL.net, etc. as my sources. Look at the project page for more details. I am a radio enthusiast and also an E&C...

It feels like a long, tiring week because it’s been a busy one, or most probably because of getting back to regular life after vacation, or because Bengaluru has been hot this week. Anyway, its been a busy and hectic week. What better to do when its so hot. Uma started playing football this week. She is just getting...

I recently added setting up a proper Bee hotel as a goal, but I didn’t think something similar would happen naturally. I love the concept of Bee hotels. Bee hotel is a man-made structure for solitary pollinator bees to rest. It seemed like a fun project, so I added it to my TODO list. This week, we found that one of...

I am back in Bengaluru. Slept and rested a bit. I watched One Battle After Another on the way to Sydney and Naked Gun 2 on the way back. I really liked how One Battle After Another is told, DiCaprio’s role, the chemistry between father and daughter, and the climax. It’s a good watch. Yet to get back to work...

We just wanted to drive around NSW’s countryside and maybe visit a farm. Camden came up in the search, and the Airbnb there looked nice, and hence we settled on it. It was also perfect fir for the Easter weekend (4th and 5th of Apr) as it was a small town. Camden is not far from the city, so we planned to go to...

It wasn’t planned that she would walk all the way. I was ready to carry her at least three-fourths of the way. I would have been more than happy if she had walked a kilometer. But it so happened that she walked all the way, surprising us. The platypus track is the smallest one at Bidjigal Reserve. We chose it so Uma...

We did a leisurely walk through Sydney’s city center. We will probably do one more walk. But this one was mostly around Uma’s need to walk in the park and see water, and that’s what we mostly did. Diggy Doos Coffee As soon as we landed in the center, we looked for a good coffee place, and found Diggy Doo’s Coffee on...

We are on holiday. The week before the holiday was mostly spent covering for things that can happen during the vacation. Of course, you can’t imagine everything and solve it. But I think the teams are doing okay. So all is well. Uma at Sydeny Opera House. The holidays are going well. We got to celebrate Uma’s...

Uma turned three today. She walks and talks a lot now. We are in Sydney for a short trip to meet her cousin and celebrate. Today we went to Koala Park Sanctuary, Sydney. She has heard The Koala Who Could by Rachel Bright and Jim Field hundreds of times, and she wanted to see them. She saw Koala, Dingo, Wombat,...

We had a long weekend due to Yugadhi and Eid. I didn’t do much. Mostly spent time at home, sleeping. I feel rested after a long time. Summer Pink flowers of Bengaluru. On Saturday, I was at IndieWebClub/BLR meetup. I could help some folks with WordPress. Other than that, it was just fun to see and listen to so many...

It’s been another hectic week, but towards the end, it was a bit relaxing because of Ugadhi and Id breaks. Wish you all a happy Ugadhi and Id. The war continues. I doubt the folks who started the war know what they want or how they want it to end. This war is not just illegal but also foolish. I still think pushing...
