This past weekend, I went to an aircraft viewing spot at the end of runway 05 at Toronto’s Pearson airport. When I lived in Bahrain, my parents and I would go to a similar spot at one end of what was then Bahrain airport’s only runway. As an aside, current satellite imagery shows two parallel [ ]
This past June and July, Canada, the USA, and Mexico hosted the greatest show of the greatest game on earth the World Cup. This is run by the non-profit organization Fifa, or as you might know it, the Fédération Internationale de Football Association. I wish painful deaths and poorly attended funerals upon the executives [ ]
My roots are in the city of Bombay. Six hundred years in the past, Portuguese sailors and priested sailed from Portugal, around the southern tip of Africa, and north to the famed spice lands of South Asia. There, they encountered my ancestors and, true to the Christian faith’s goal, the Portuguese went about spreading the [ ]

Meanwhile, behind the [ ]
For only the second time in my life, I crossed the Equator and visited another developing country, the great nation of Peru. I am also from a developing country, so I knew what to expect. My travel mates, my wife included, were not, so many things that were surprising to them, were just mundane to [ ]
Wednesday, May 20, 2026 I tend to be pessimistic about India in general, but there are aspects of the country and the culture that I like and am happy to support. Indian chocolates are one of those aspects. India does grow cocoa beans, notably in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Indian cocoa production is less than [ ]
My parents were (and still are) opposed to software updates. When I was younger, I could not understand why. I viewed software updates as something good, a necessity, practically an obligation. The recent trends in the software world showed me the wisdom of those older than me. Apple recently introduced a design “language” called Liquid [ ]
The conclusion first it’s fine. Absolutely usable, you barely have to think about it, and it is just a car. I repeat it is just a car. My previous car was on its proverbial last legs in 2025 so I decided that the time was nigh for the switch to an electric car. [ ]
