On the trail I blaze, there is light at the end!
Rain. Looking at it at 5.30AM in the morning, I felt overwhelmed as usual at its majestic size. It was not as if everyone in my town didn’t see it every day. It was right beside the road in the front of the hospital. No one had the time to spare for marvelling at that […]
In the picture (from left to right): Senthil, Abhishek, yours truly & Pavan. I’ve written about all of them in my previous post. I remember being involved in organising The Fifth Elephant conference about a decade back. I knew nothing about it apart from the conference being very popular and the word “Big Data” that […]
(NOTE: This was written back in Oct 2024! A lot has happened since then – something I’ll probably write about sometime later) A UK based organisation, a Slack channel with British folks around, we use Python, and I had just been introduced. I couldn’t resist. However, that was the beginning of my realization that things […]

“Hey…”, Haris called standing behind it. He was afraid. Terrified would be more apt. You know how no matter how hard you try, you can never ever be fully prepared for certain moments in life? This was one of those moments. It turned around slowly. As if it was disturbed from its peace. Haris’ heart […]
This post should be fun when my kids grow up enough to be able to read it. This also isn’t a summary of the event. It is more or less about what School meant to me, a few memories and what I felt being back there for a day. History I never liked going to […]
Cyprus, Romania, Slovakia, Netherlands, Tajikistan, UK, Ireland, Ukraine, Germany, Switzerland, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Russia, China, Zimbabwe, Turkmenistan, Brazil, Greece, US, Australia, Chile, Slovakia, Slovenia, Georgia, Austria, Morocco, Namibia, India and Canada. In the span of 7 days, those are the different countries which I met people from. Suffice to say, it was a delightful experience. A…
The History The last two times I quit my job, despite both the companies helping me grow and explore tremendously on a personal and career level, I had enough frustration built up over various reasons which served as a valid excuse for my decision. However this time, it is slightly different. Ask me about my […]
Very recently, I had the opportunity to apply for a US Visa, and thankfully, get it approved as well. However, it was not without its troublesome and frustrating moments, a few of which I’d like to list down so that you can brace yourselves. Keep in mind that the interview happens across two days: The […]
