It was through the 'windows' of Internet Explorer that I first got a glimpse of the Internet world. During those days, every PC you buy came with a version of Windows XP installed. I doubt if I knew about any other browsers back then ( I don't think I even cared.). A couple of years… Continue reading How I met the qutebrowser

The Queen of Thirunelli
As I slid into the driver's seat at 4:30 in the morning, I could not believe that we are finally on our way to Wayanad.

A weekend on the banks of Kaveri
Travel is one of the greatest stress busters, that I have ever experienced and that too there is nothing like a trip out into the wild. My wife and I never missed an opportunity to travel until our little angel arrived in 2018.

In the past few weeks some of my birding trips to the lake was cut short by spells of rain. Today was different. There was a cool breeze and the sun was… Continue reading A stroll at Hoskote Lake
We are all in a hurry…
I start my day by seeing the newspaper boy fling the paper as I watch its different pages landing all over the place. He has almost 10 seconds between the opening and closing of the lift at each floor, to fling papers to 4 different door steps. He is always in a hurry. I wonder… Continue reading We are all in a hurry…
The Onam Sadya Demystified
With another Onam round the corner, all Kerala restaurants are flaunting its customers with the promise of a Kerala feast or the Onam Sadya as it is more popularly known. I thought it appropriate to decode the Onam Sadya ( and no, Onam Sadya does not include beef and liquor). The 'Sadya' is not specific… Continue reading The Onam Sadya Demystified
