  • Weekly Notes 23/2026

    My weekly notes have been very weak. I have not been able to keep up with the practice in the last few weeks. My last weekly note was Week 15.

    Sunday 31 May

    We drove back from Palakkad. We started from Palakkad at 5:40 AM in the morning and reached our hotel room in Hubballi in time for dinner. We enjoyed the evening in Chitradurga – it was windy, overcast, and there were windmills. I learnt that hotels makes the kids stay free but does not provide them with a bed for them.

    We continued our drive from Hubbali and into Maharashtra. We reached home in the evening for a late tea. My arms and legs were paining and hence, we only ate food and went to sleep.

    Tuesday 02 June

    I returned to work. It was nice to catch up with colleagues. Some colleagues were still away on their own summer vacations. In the evening, we realised that we still had to put in new practices for us in the new home.

    Saurabh and friends had come over to Pune to meet Aarya and me. His PoV of the visit is here. I had very interesting conversations here .

    The kids got the first chance to decorate the walls with their own colour. We had expected this would happen but not so early after their return.

    Rakesh ettan and I went for the STC India’s celebrations of World TechComm Day. We were in the team that won the first prize in a quiz competition. Our wives and kids got to spend this time together.

    I got the scooter back from its pre-Monsoon checks. I changed out the wipers on the car and had it ready for the Monsoon as well.
