IPL really seems to have really gone down in quality hasn’t it? Even back home in India nobody seems to be watching it or following it with interest. This was bound to happen with a format that is so one sided – like 250 scores are normal and teams even chase 264 with balls to spare. This is just not cricket anymore – just batting practice in a video game.

I have 4 reminders put on my calendar to get tickets for Olivia Rodrigo concert on Monday by my teenager. She’d used all caps multiple times in our family group to make me and her mom understand the importance of it. I had to actually scold her for constantly throwing all caps at us and told her if she sent another Olivia Rodrigo message in all caps no concert was happening!

I recently finished 3 months at the new company and my god this has been the most stressful 3 months ever. In hindsight if I had any inclination it was gonna go down like this I would not have left the mothership. How’s the workplace you ask? Absolutely pathetic. This is the second time I have left Amazon and I already feel like going back there – and it’s the same feeling so many of us ex folks in this company have now. The tech world has become a lowest common denominator world at this point. Just disappointing considering the product itself is so good and well known.

A senior executive from a company hounded me for weeks to get time with me to talk about a role at his company. We met on zoom today and 5 minutes into convo we both realized he got the wrong guy with same first name and last name. I exactly know who he was trying to get to coz he is active on LinkedIn and is as old as me probably but it was a hilarious mix up on his end. We laughed about it and ended our call. I mean the only reason I was getting on call was to tell him gently I am not interested in the role he was offering but I did find his company interesting.
