ज़माने में जो देखा है वो बिल्कुल सच है दोस्तों,
जो कभी अपनों के न हुए, वो गैरों के नहीं होते !

Looking at white people reaction to Renee Good, all I can think of is above and then I feel oddly ok that it’s not me or my color or my country – they are just like that only 😆

Wow, Mari Selvaraj does it again. Forget every Indian sports biopic and watch this one instead. Set against the backdrop of caste/identity and village politics, and gang wars, this is film making at its finest. The cinematography is spectacular, and the way the movie is edited it makes almost 3 hours feel like a breeze. The cast is just all round spectacular. And did I say this is a sports biopic? Kabbadi like never before. Riveting.

I often go back to photos of Mendocino for no reason. At that time I didn’t think much of it, but now I feel like maybe we should’ve done a couple more trips around this area.

I want an AI service that scans through my photos and deletes all photos that are either not nature / landscape or does not contain at least one of the people / pet that I have tagged. I am sure I can get rid of thousands of photos this way and I don’t really care about those photos anyway. Surely someone is building it?

This whole process of moving photos from Amazon photos to Google Photos has become excruciatingly painful thanks to Amazon photos app and lack of any api support. I have resorted to now downloading year by year on my local Mac and uploading it back to Google Photos. I am done with 2012 this morning so I have a long way to go but I think it will get faster as more and more photos become similar and Google skips over them. Anyhow gonna be a while until I transfer everything. Even then I am going to keep Amazon photos around until membership expires in April so I can be 100% sure I got everything out of there. I loved Amazon photos a while back but the service has just lingered with no real purpose or growth.

I couldn’t get ONE single full run out of the Dyson robo vacuum. Not one. Oof talk about being complete trash. It’s hard to believe this is the same Dyson that otherwise makes excellent vacuum cleaners. This robot is going back in no time.

Today evening we had a semi-serious conversation with kid about future of this country. Today was one of those times the kid also agreed that she might want to leave, though India is not her option at all. I guess the fact that she said she does not mind leaving is and of itself a big deal.

Wow I knew the Dyson robot vacuum cleaner did not get a good rep, but gosh it is quite bad. Its going back in a jiffy!

And that was a wrap on my second stint at Amazon, when combined with my first stint brings it to 8 and half years. In my second stint I was there for 3 years and a few months and it was a remarkably different experience than my first. The Amazon of the old was so different and the day 1 feeling was everywhere. Now it’s just another corporate behemoth well into its day 2 days. That said, I have had an insane run in Amazon with incredible managers and team mates. The positive experiences overwhelm the negative experiences so much that I definitely fancy myself coming back one day again. But for now, it’s tata-byebye!
