For a couple of years now, Naveen (11) and I have a system of generating numbers which can be easily verified by the other. We came up with this because well, his sister Leela (6), gets creative with facts/chores. So if she tells him that I'm calling him or that I said he should… ## ['Blog: Saturday, January 17, 2026 11:55 am - Racooning](https://chir.ag/202601171155) _2026-01-17 · chir.ag 'blog_ Hari turns adjusted one-year old today. This means, he should have been born a year ago on this day. But Hari being in a hurry, rushed out in October of 2024, over 3 months earlier than the doctors expected. He's doing wonderful, gaining weight steadily, and gets a lot of care and attention from us, his older siblings, his daycare teachers, and the numerous therapists, nurses, and doctors who see… ## ['Blog: Friday, December 19, 2025 2:20 am - For Keval](https://chir.ag/202512190220) _2025-12-19 · chir.ag 'blog_ My cousin Keval, 43, passed away today in Mumbai, India, surrounded by his parents, sister, my dad, and lots of loved ones who came to wish him a final good bye.

And today he's doing amazing! He woke up with all smiles and played with his older siblings and me in the morning and then spent the day at daycare where they celebrated his birthday with other toddlers all crawling around.

This was the longest I've spent with her since I left India in 2000. It's not even been a few days and I already miss walking to her room to just catch up. I know Hari misses her a lot already.

Every time I heard that, I smiled… ## ['Blog: Friday, June 27, 2025 6:10 pm - Next-gen Vibing](https://chir.ag/202506271810) _2025-06-27 · chir.ag 'blog_ I promised our 10-year-old son Naveen earlier this year that I will give him a chance to learn how to code using AI and once his summer vacation started, I bought him an account on v0.dev. He's been at it at least 3-4 hours each day and today, I'm so excited to share his first AI-generated creation: Neologism Generator !

She's been playing for two months now and absolutely loves it. Today her softball team walked in the local Memorial Day parade and we all had a blast! Juliet bought a ton of candies and decorations for a small cart that I pulled along the whole way.
