From ‘I’m not a podcast person’ to bingeing on Aussie true crime podcasts
Wow! I’m back to blogging after nearly four years. I must say it feels quite good. That said, I hope this post makes it past the drafts unlike the other seventeen that are in drafts🤞 My last post here was in September 2018 and it’s such a different world now. So many things have happened Continue reading

My first *bushwalking* 👣 ⛰ experience in Australia – Berowra Track at Mt Kuring-gai Chase National Park
It was perhaps the first free weekend since we moved to Sydney. Most previous weekends were about setting up the house (assembling Ikea furniture is quite interesting!), buying stuff for the house or resting after the setting up and shopping. Deepti had to head back to India to finish up some work there and here Continue reading

Hello (from) Sydney!
It’s been about a month now since Deepti and I are in Sydney. While we’ve been traveling a fair bit over the years, this travel to Sydney is, however, to live and work here! That way, it’s indeed a big move for us. We’re quite excited about living and working in Sydney and look forward to an Continue reading

Gave A Talk On “Hacking For Travel When You Have A Desk Job” at Inverted Passion Unconference
I had been out of the startup/tech events circuit for a while, primarily because of what you’ll see in the post ahead 🙂 and also because it’s usually the same set of people one comes across in Bangalore. But when Paras tweeted about hosting an unconference with an uncommon format and agenda, it seemed quite Continue reading

Appeared On A Kannada TV Quiz Show!
(The actual event happened nearly a year back, in Feb 2017. This post though, while written a long time back, was lost in the pile of drafts. Any time is a good time to dust up drafts and publish them, isn’t it? Hence this post!) I got a chance to participate in That Antha Heli (loosely translated Continue reading

The Solo Trip To Taiwan – Day 1
(Voice in my head: Don’t start off by writing why and how you haven’t blogged for a long time and end up not even posting that.) *Listens to the voice in the head* Turned out that Deepti was traveling to Hong Kong on an offsite with her office folks during the Independence Day long weekend. I Continue reading

Go Gokarna Gone!
Alright, it has been a long time since I wrote anything here. I have a couple of blog posts in drafts, one on the Ramzan Food Walk in Bangalore and the other one on Top Bollywood Songs of 2013. These are now more like once in a year blog posts, similar to the one on Continue reading

What Will You Say About Yourself?
One of the trickiest and perhaps the toughest things to do, apart from deciding what to do when stuck in lift moving up and down many floors, is writing about yourself. At any point of time, you never really understand yourself completely. And even if you are under the false impression that you do, you Continue reading

What Is The New New?
Old-fashioned is the new Modern. Che Guevera is the new capitalist icon. Sleeping is the new Awake. Giving up is the new Acquisition. Hopeless is the new Hopeful. Getting Lost is the new Finding Yourself. Non-conformity is the new Conformation. Dropping Out is the new Joining In. Working Hard is the new Laziness. Resignation is Continue reading

You Can Call Me On My Mobile Phone
No wonder they call it the Xtreme Sports Bar. Because we visit that place bar bar (not just because it’s a bar) and extreme things happen while we are there. For example, Zee Sports is the channel they were playing on the TV screens the first time we went there. And why not, doesn’t that Continue reading
