After much thought I did decide to accept the new offer. I will say this both ChatGPT and Gemini were incredibly helpful in evaluating my current situation and the new offer, potential advantages and disadvantages of staying put, modeling financial aspects of offer over 2-4 year time frame and more. The depth of information both provided (especially, surprisingly ChatGPT) was very informational and ultimately swayed my choice to take the new offer. When used right, these AI tools are just very very helpful.

Didn’t think that a casual convo with an ex colleague about what do you think about working together again would end today with an offer in my lap that I am now seriously considering. And to think at beginning of December I was not even looking for a job! I am apprehensive snd excited at same time.
📺 Pluribus (2025) – ★★★☆☆
Pluribus has to seriously pick its pace and story to be a more compelling watch. Will forgive the first season as Gilligan world building but gosh the show is a torture for most part.
To be honest I am kinda bummed that my my Robo Vacuum Cleaner has not sent me a year end summary that I can share…
I have not taken any days off the last two weeks of this year except one day. Considering 90% of people around me are out for holidays, I am pretty much on one myself without needing to put in days. I do need to go to work and come back but it’s not a big deal.
🍿 Dhurandhar (2025) – ★★★★☆
A solid 3 and half stars – I added half more purely for the soundtrack which I am fan off and how well it’s used in the movie. It absolutely could have done without the jingoistic nonsense towards the end coz it really didn’t need it at all – but for a three and half hour movie it was entertaining enough to wait for the next part. Just how good was Alshaye Khanna though in his role? And refreshing that for pretty much majority of the movie the “hero” of the movie is actually in the background.
We just ordered an Indian themed wallpaper for an accent wall. I am looking forward to it adding a bit more color into the otherwise Grey sofa white wall room!
The background music used in The Odyssey trailer gives a massive “Dune” kinda of sound vibe.
📺 Task (2025) – ★★★★☆
Nothing original in terms of storyline but beautifully acted and situated. How good was Tom Pelphrey?
Is it just me or just getting older that I can no longer remember lyrics to a song as I once used to? Used to be that if heard a song 5-6 times I would know the lyrics all through but it’s no longer the case – I can hear a song tens of time and still struggle with remembering the lyrics. And yet any of those older songs? I can sing them straight through.
