I used this drawing by OpenStax & Tomáš Kebert &... ## [Weekly Notes 33/2026](https://thejeshgn.com/2026/08/14/weekly-notes-33-2026/) _2026-08-14 · Thejesh GN · Thejesh GN_ I ended the Netflix subscription. We have not been using it for a long time, and we were just paying; finally, this month I ended it. Sleep has won for me. If required, I can subscribe again. We still have Amazon Prime, mostly because of the free shipping it provides. That said, in ## [Weekly Notes 32/2026](https://thejeshgn.com/2026/08/07/weekly-notes-32-2026/) _2026-08-07 · Thejesh GN · Thejesh GN_ It s been a hectic but active week. As usual, I continued with my two P.T sessions. I played a game of Pickleball on Thursday. I also ran twice. This week has been my most active week in quite some time. I took some time to write a blog post about return to running.

The last time I ran anything serious was a decade back. The max I have been doing is walking. Though I must say I love walking, especially with friends and family. It s a great way to have conversations. I tried running again a few years back and dropped [Listen](https://thejeshgn.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/day-2-training-2026-07-30.webm) ## [Running Again](https://thejeshgn.com/2026/08/03/running-again/) _2026-08-03 · Thejesh GN · Thejesh GN_ I have not been running.

It s been a busy week, but it has been good except today. I typed a wrong Git command and pushed without verifying. Initially, it looked like I lost a couple of weeks work, but thankfully, since Git is distributed, we had a copy and recovered without much hurt. ## [Ride to Gandikota](https://thejeshgn.com/2026/07/25/ride-to-gandikota/) _2026-07-25 · Thejesh GN · Thejesh GN_ Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are the least explored states in the South for me. I have been adding places of interest to my list. Gandikota has been on that list for a while. I wanted to do it post-summer and during monsoon so it would be cooler. Monsoon has not really arrived, though ## [Ride to Gandikota](https://thejeshgn.com/2026/07/25/ride-to-gandikota/) _2026-07-25 · Thejesh GN · Thejesh GN_ Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are the least explored states in the South for me.

But this one (#cjpprotests) is very different from the rest. I see them not only facing so much harshness but also having so much fun and so much camaraderie. It makes me jealous. All power to the younger generation.

I spent time planning for the next few months. Planning is my comfort zone. When things are planned, I sleep better. It doesn t mean I can t do unplanned things; I can, and I often do.

I like it for various reasons. My various projects depend on metadata, such as date, location, orientation, etc. But more and more, the phones are removing that metadata when I transmit it.
