It’s been a hectic week. I was in Mumbai for a day on Wednesday, a quick but tiring trip. I had so much to do this week that I couldn’t play or do P.T. To be fair, I did go to P.T on Tuesday, but couldn’t go on Thursday. In hindsight, I could have, but I gave more importance to a meeting than it required. Something...

I attended the Reclaim Constitution Quiz at the Sabha on Sunday. I thoroughly enjoyed the quiz, conversation, and the meal post the quiz. You can see the highlights of the quiz here. I also made a special appearance answering an audience question. #ReclaimConstitution is a non-commercial initiative to further...

I have a sore throat and a cold. I think I got it from Uma, and she got it from school. I have also been talking a lot in meetings this week, and that’s not helping. Also, it’s very cold. There are lots of dogs at APU and they are all friendly. Spent some time debugging cold-start issues with Yamaha(Red). It wasn’t...

I often find something that still doesn’t feel 100% right. These days, it has been the cold start and the choke. After the bike came out of restoration, it had a cold-start problem. The usual solution was to use the choke without throttle, and that mostly worked. During the recent six-month service, I complained...

I have a bunch of screen-casts that I want to release. I have not found a good PeerTube instance to host my videos. I am happy to pay a monthly fee, and I hope one day there will be a platform that provides this. For now, I will add them to my site, Archive.org, and YouTube. They are all CC-BY-SA. I am thinking of...

It seems like yesterday, but we are in the 9th edition of NMG. NMG/2026 applications are open now. The last date to apply is March 15th. Please share it with your friends. Please do apply if you think it suits you. Installation at APU. Says ನಾವೆಲ್ಲರು (All of us). It’s a display of profile pictures from PARI. Happy...

Welcome to the ninth edition of the NMG grant. I am grateful to friends (Nemo, Gangadhar, Shweta, Divya, Miss.Y, Mr.S) and other anonymous folks who have joined me on this journey with additional grant support. We do have some of them supporting us this year, too. Since last year, we have separated the NMG-Edu as a...

I came across PICO-8 sometime in 2018. The programmer and short-time gamer in me couldn’t control myself and had to buy it. I have not made any games with it, but I have enjoyed dabbling with it once in a while. The game, thankfully, is still owned by the same folks and continues to get updates. I do keep updating...

The weekend and the week were busy as we wrapped up at Thrissur, traveled, and got back to work after the holiday season. Uma’s school also restarted this week after the holidays. We are back to regular programming. Saturday was spent meeting Manikantan. Manikantan was a temple elephant, but no more. There is a...

Welcome to the new year. I didn’t do much on New Year’s Eve or Day, other than maybe sleeping a bit. However, I took some time to write and publish the year-end post. This is the 18th year of publishing year-end posts. At Kochi-Muziris Biennale / 2025 My first and last blood donation in 2025 was this week. This is...

The year 2025 has been a decent year personally. I got to focus on and spend time with family, friends, and on personal growth. The work has been decent. I am still able to explore, learn, and apply new things. It helped that I am mostly off popular social media, spend very little time on WhatsApp, and choose to...

It’s been a good but hectic week. Lots of work coming together, so it’s a lot of coordination, talking, and generally being busy. My painting project #30DaysOfWatercoloring is two weeks old now. It’s been going well. I am learning a lot. I am also happy that I have been able to keep it up, even though the days have...
