There is only a short introduction today. After our son had a Sports Day, I slept off most of the day today after having cold syrups. This Weekly Notes is a quickly put-together production to make sure that I don’t miss two Weekly Notes on a trot.
My reading and watching has become slower and deeper. I am no longer trying to cover everything. I tried to go down many lists-inspired reading and ended up reading very little overall. I am now focussing and sharing stories with family.

Watching
Ep 436 of the Seen and the Unseen podcast with Rukmini S.
A part of this video blew up on X as a result of Elon Musk sharing it.
I enjoyed listening to this episode.
Three part series on pilgrimage tourism. I watched to try and get more insights there but ended up being more personal experiences.
We definitely need more types of punk.
This came out in December 2025 when I was in the hospital. I missed out because of that.
This video starts quite innocently and gets dark very fast. Video is in Malayalam.
