📺 Bait (2026) – ★★★★★
I don’t know if there will be a second season but man this 6 episode first season was totally award worth. Riz Ahmed is fucking good. And that soundtrack, ooof!

Have the Ambanis have run out of weddings that they want to create a spectacle out of everyone’s birthday in their family now? What a waste of a family. Like money couldn’t even buy them a few close friends that they need to resort to entire Bollywood showing up in Jamnagar to celebrate their grown ass man’s bday party.
I made it through the LA Olympics tix as well. One look at tickets for finals and I noped out of it. Plus if it USA everything is going to be horribly expensive and it will never have the feel of Paris so not fully vested enough to buy tix 2 years in advance.
An ex colleague of mine that I also managed for a while made the jump to my new company. She and I were catching up today and she told me about how the new boss tried to sexually assault her at a offsite and how this opportunity was a godsend to her to get out of that shitty team. I am shook right now because this was the person she transitioned to after I left the team and I used to have very high regard for this guy. Just gutted for her that she had to go through it and extremely angry and disappointed at this guy. To think he is married and with kids. Ugh.
Well, thanks to Israel looks like that ceasefire ain’t gonna last. At some point the world has to start labeling Israel as state sponsor of terrorism and genocide no? Enough is enough.
How does one not feel disgusted about a country whose president is openly saying “a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again”. This is just embarrassing and dangerous vitriol – spare me the nuances but the majority of this country voted for a such a lunatic is telling. Every day gets worse and worse doesn’t it. Gosh I miss my break already.
Two episodes in Bait is such a fun show, plus the credit songs are bangers! RIz Ahmed is so good. Looking forward to finishing rest of the episodes.
One of my closest friend’s younger brother passed away suddenly over weekend due to cardiac arrest. I got the msg yesterday while in plane and finally was able to connect with him. They lost their mother just 2 years ago – his younger brother was unmarried and was battling a muscular disease though it was not considered lethal. We reminisced a lot about our younger days. I spent practically several hours in their house each evening during 3rd and 4th year of my engineering years. I broke up fights between the brothers multiple times with me and their mom taking same sides usually – it’s hard to act that he is no more even though I never kept touch with him after engineering days. To see my friend going through double tragedy in quick succession makes me sad and just reaffirms that life is just very unpredictable.
Got some amazing sleep last night finally in my own bed! While I generally don’t have much issues with sleeping in hotel beds, getting good sleep at altitude was definitely challenging. Great feeling to be tucked in my bed at sea level!
Sorting through photos, surprisingly Google Photos says I took only 2700ish unique photos, and if considering photo bursts 4200ish. I mean it’s still a ton and that’s just my iPhone camera, so when we combine it with everyone in our group it will explode.
