My cross posting to mastodon is broken and I don’t even feel like bothering help anymore coz it all seems on par for micro 😂

Me: India Pakistan delayed due to rain

Dad: actually no, they delayed it cause they had to make sure modi swearing in was telecast live!

Me: no dad we can see the frigging rain!

This modi worship has made people absolutely insane that they refuse to even see obvious!

First swim meet today where R now needs to swim in 13 and over group. Will be interesting experience to switch over to the “adult” group now since swimmers can go all the way to 18 now in this group. Will be a big change for her as well to be first one in her bestie group to be 13 and over group so she is going to miss them. Luckily in a few months all of them will be together again!

Oh what is this? Posting is fast again on micro?

Yesterday my therapist asked me “*When was the last time in recent years you were truly happy? Like truly happy that you wanted to be stuck in that moment!”. The first memory that came back to me immediately when asked that question was not the memory I thought it should be. I struggled for a while to think of a good time when I was truly happy and wanted to be stuck in that moment. Eventually I went back to the very first thing that came to my mind when she asked the qn - It was the trip that we did as family to Universal Studios in Orlando. R was big into Harry Potter then, and a large part of trip was largely unplanned except knowing we had many days in park. We visited the same parts of Universal Studios (namely Harry Potter world) multiple times in day and evenings and the kid truly relished it all soaking it all in. We enjoyed it too, and I was particularly very happy that my kid had joined me in every roller coaster (that was her first experience with “adult” roller coasters) and generally was over the moon. I dont know why I struggled so much to say it when it was right in my face but I really wanted it to be something else when the answer was it did not have to be some other memory.

I hope hunter biden is jailed and he is out of public eye all together. What a mess of a human. He honestly belonged to Trump family more than Biden. He would fit right in with the trumps!

Honest qn - what is everyone’s plan if Trump does indeed win the presidency, and republicans have the trifecta?

Trump tied with Biden in Virginia? If Trump carries VA it’s over. In 2024 if VA can move right he has already won at other places comfortably!

I went for a shoe fitting appointment today at running store. The technology has come so far ahead now! Several years back the experts would make you walk, run and generally do a few things to really understand and do gait analysis. Now? You just stand on a board that automatically scans your feet & arches. Then you walk on a sensor board few times to do additional weight analysis. All of it directly uploaded into an awesome 3d rendering view of your shoe size, arches, pressure and weight points, sent over email to you. Tech has come so far! It was an awesome experience.

Oh you mean to say India 2 also won against Pakistan in T20?

Every time I feel like I have become perpetually unhappy grumpy grandpa I go and see Gaurav Sabnis’s twitter feed and immediately feel so good about myself that I am no where close to being an insufferable grouch that I thought I was becoming.

Now that summer trip is planned & done I feel like i have nothing to looking forward to plan anymore. So I keep looking at my itinerary and keep making random changes just to feel like I need to do some planning.

The T20 World Cup has begun here and absolutely no news about it. This is one of the most boring T20 world cups ever. Like just focus on promoting cricket in places where there always was presence but needs a boost instead of trying to bring the sport to usa. Absolutely no interest in this world cup and nobody around me even seems to know they have begun.

Man that Biden meme response to qn around Trump was the first sign I’ve seen of Biden’s age really come through. He really looked like he didnt comprehend the question at all, or was confused. He decided to just walk by. I wish he had just walked away instead of that now famous meme response coz it really did show his age to me.

Dont worry, still voting the heck out of Biden.

Sitting in a restaurant waiting for a takeout and can’t help but notice the amount of DoorDash orders being picked up. We as a society have just been spoilt haven’t we? We use DoorDash a lot too but it’s always crazy to see how much it: actually being used.

oh, Djokovic is out of french open and now its watchable.

My dad has quickly moved on from denial to acceptance stage.

“He’s running for the third time! How can you expect him to knock it out of the park each time?"

“How much can he do for people? Like how much more can he do?!"

“Look at his age! Look at the fight! Tell me who else has this much energy?"

“Watch in 2029! People of Ayodhya and India will bounce back and he will win 500 seats! Take it from me!"

I am in a particularly good mood today humming and whistling around the house.
