First truly cold walk of the season in feels like 20 degree weather today. It was biting cold allright but I have got my layers down to a T that I still work up a sweat on the walk even if my ears and face are frozen!
Went to return a a few items at UPS store and saw an old grandma shipping home baked cookies to multiple people paying 50-90$ per box she shipped because she wanted them delivered before Christmas. I saw three of them. I just hope the the people whom she sent the cookies love her back as much.
I have a packet full of Pav and too many potatoes and that can only mean one thing that I am going to attempt Pav vada today!
Fam is vacationing at the beach and wife sends me this gorgeous picture of beach at sunrise. Coastal Karnataka beaches are some of the most amazing beaches you will find in India or elsewhere!
I wonder if I was born in the 1990s or early 2000s would I also be a “content creator” instead of a blogger? I mean technically all of us “bloggers” of early 2000s were content creators of that decade.
In an phone screen interview yesterday the candidate introduced herself(?) as “Hi, I am X, and my pronouns are X-XX-XX”. This is the first time in the last however months I’ve been interviewing someone called out their pronouns on the call and my first reaction internally was damn thats some hokey-wokey shit right there. Like I get it, but the context matters. We are in an interview. I am not going to call you by your pronoun if you are sitting right in front of me but call you by your name, if at all required. Nothing in the interview format (which candidates know well in advance!) require any of this pronouns BS. Now if you were already hired and you are sending an intro email, or setting your slack status please absolutely call your pronouns - its important, but using it anywhere without context makes it look really inauthentic and comes across as needless.
100%. This is why America should’ve never been involved in the first place. First you help as much as you can, then you take the fucking blame for not doing enough anyway. All this while, rest of Europe sits on their fat thumbs and twiddle around. Let Europe handle its own fucking problems.
Coastal Karnataka is one of the most under explored but absolutely gorgeous areas of India. Part of me wants it to stay that way. I didn’t even know they had their own backwaters until wife sends me pictures this morning and I am like whoa that is stunning!
Fani Willis disqualified from Trump’s Georgia election interference case
Good. If only both the pricks knew how to keep their hands in their own pants and wait a few more months. Literally one of the most important cases anybody could have and she and that prosecutor fucked it all up for themselves. Serves her right.
A report of mine is leaving for end of year vacation and she told me in our 1:1 she is originally from Argentina while her husband is from Chile and I spent next 30 minutes discussing potential itineraries with her.
Ah yes, I must watch Inception tonight. Again. I have lost track of how many times I’ve seen this movie at this point. Just like Interstellar, this one is also on repeat loop in our house.
Its strange how your body adapts to cold. Last couple of weeks its been really cold on/off and i have been bundling up for walks with doggo. Today its in 50s so I decided to ditch the double layer and go with single jacket - and I was still sweating in 50 degree weather! And no i still fucking hate the cold with all my life.
Inspired by @pratik to share a arch photo. No this is not Kim Kardashian’s house but the Schonbrunn palace in Vienna.
Honestly, tiktok bans, tp-link bans - like jee, just stop. America has already sold its data and soul to China, no need to make it look like anyone really cares about it. As if banning TikTok and Tp-Link will somehow safeguard american consumers. Nope its just about Metas and Palantirs more richer by giving them exclusive access to your data.
Not one of mh favorite cricketers but thanks for all the fish anyway, Ashwin. Not sure why he even went to Australia in first place - I guess free mein trip mil gaya? Something changed in him a few years back and his whole body language was all about being entitled - great spinner but I just felt he had a cricket stadium sized ego to go with it.
