I started late to office to beat the traffic. Still there was so much congestion that I had to return home.
The whole adventure took an hour and I’m sure I still saved one more hour at least by not proceeding in the direction of office.
What is the point of living in a city like Bangalore?
I’m not tired because I worked hard. I’m tired because I had to keep turning my real thoughts into polite and acceptable dialogue all day.
Admittedly, I know nothing about punctuation or grammar. I’m just out here winging it, comma what may.
My one resolution this year is to smack a crocodile while wearing meat underwear.
So tired of this year.
Sometimes I like to stay up late and think about all the books I hope to read.
Melancholy is preferable to anxiety, I suppose
William Shatner in the Twilight Zone episode Nightmare at 20,000 Feet. He has his eyes closed in fear because of a monster out the window on the wing. Shatner is labeled “Let’s circle back after the holidays” and the monster is labeled “January 2nd”.
It’s coming.
Too many resolutions
Too less memory
It’s going to be a tough day tomorrow and the day after, to act normal and happy about new year, without them noticing the regret of not significantly improving myself in the year that’s gone and the anxiety of at least achieving something in the upcoming year.
I can't wait to see what I fuck up in 2026
Why are stupid people also the loudest

True. And the Covid era technology was repurposed for it.
I wish there were a way, but this feels like a one way door. Once people accept segregation and surveillance as the price of “good living,” questioning it feels unsafe to them. So the system just keeps justifying itself.
Greatest heart break song ever -
“Show me the meaning of being lonely”
Knowledge is power but the dumbest guy you know is probably doing amazing.
I don't do yoga, but sometimes I try to plug my charging cable in without getting out of bed
I was in Hi-tech City, #Hyderabad to attend a conference last month, and stayed in an Airbnb flat in a gated apartment complex. Large, securitised business districts are aplenty, so are gated apartments.

Vehicles of visitors like mine will be locked and fined if not parked appropriately in the designated area. Owners have additional privileges that tenants don’t have even after paying a rent of three fourths of a lakh a month! It is strange what we do to ourselves sometimes.
I’m currently at Hyd visiting my relatives. I met a friend who lives in a high rise apartment. He sent me a QR code with the timings I’m allowed to enter. The helper who works at his home is not allowed to carry anything in her hand unless it is explicitly mentioned in the app by the resident.
This year, in 4 words, for me.
You can pretend to have your shit together if you want. They don’t really check
That stage in life where my reply to "Where are you from?" is "I am from many places."
Sex is like pork. If you really like it, you'll eat the butt
Life, compared to all the other states of being, is a brief stay in an oubliette.
Happy Christmas!
Once more, with feeling.
