First day of new job done and dusted. Weirdly enough, I missed people. I have been RTO-ing in some form or another for last 2 and half years and now switching back to WFH feels like an abrupt change. Throughout the day I was like oh shit if I am not in a meeting who do I talk to? This is going to be an interesting transition for me.

First order of business at new job? Update the MacOS 😑
Sean Penn doesn’t win any award for his diabolical act in One Battle After Another while Rhea Seahorn wins best actress for Pluribus where all she did was to channel here inner Karen mode. (Never mind that she should have actually won for multiple seasons for BCS but didn’t). And then Severance. Like season 2 was simply epic and it goes completely award less? And Zionist Wyles wins for Pitt? Thank god at least Adolescence rightfully won all that it deserved.

First day at new job tomorrow and I am definitely feeling the butterflies, mostly because I am changing my domain completely and I have zero idea about the space I am getting in. I am confident that I will pick it up but I definitely feel the jitters. Not to mention it’s also been 2 and half years since I RTO-ed so the idea of just being home and not meeting anyone is weighing on me.
The M2 MacBook Air is still chugging along wonderfully in our household almost 3 and half years since it came out. I don’t forsee updating this laptop anytime soon for at least a couple more years. Ideally I’d like to get past R’s high school.
I have finally gotten to a good state with this photo migration project. Thanks to Google auto detecting duplicates, what was almost a 1TB of photos on Amazon photos is somehow only 650gb on Google Photos and I attribute all of it duplicates. I never paid much attention before on how I backed up my photos so it’s not surprising that I had like duplicates of duplicates floating around.
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 😆
🍿 Bison Kaalamaadan (2025) – ★★★★★

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.
