I first came to know about Hans Rosling, through this TED Talk. I was searching for data visualizations and how the world perceives other nations. Naturally, once you watch this, you will realize that Hans Rosling was not only a witty speaker, but also the stats he displayed were proof that most of our knowledgeContinue reading “So I recently read: Factfulness”
Jai Shree Ram
Although I was not old enough to understand what was happening back in late 1992 and why, I was old enough to remember the general mood of those days. Near my place, there’s a railway station and whichever train to Ayodhya used to pass at that time, people used to shower the people (Karsevaks) withContinue reading “Jai Shree Ram”

Of return to Bengaluru It’s been 100 days since I returned back to Bengaluru and have started to travel to work. Few observations, in no particular order: All in all, the return to Bengaluru is old news now. Things are returning to old times. Old is the new normal, I think.
Moved
So move is now complete. But the unpacking might take 200 more years. The money I saved by not renting a place last year has all been spent in moving and settling down. Fortunately new place is 90% same as my old place. So it’s all nostalgia and Deja Vu but hey paint is new!Continue reading “Moved”
