On an average weekday, I spend about 10 hours on my computer. I am glad that I have deaddicted myself off Twitter and Facebook, making me check my mobile for not over half hour a day. It is good to give my eyes a break from the screen. This week I tried indulging with a […]
People usually frame the first dollar they earned for the sake of good memory and motivation. I was going through my dusty storage cupboard and happened to spot my first ever computer related hardware. It took me on a ride down the memory lane. Back in late 1980’s the only time I could use a […]

It completely missed my mind that we had to keep the photographs of the dynamic duo ready, and that the photos needed […]
I rekindled the joy of growing plants in my tiny balcony. I posted pictures of it with a hash tag #happinessGarden on Instagram (crossposted to twitter and FB as well). I augmented this with another experiment and hobby – indoor composting of kitchen waste. I received a lot of encouraging comments and my teachers and […]
A very happy day to see myself on the official YouTube channel of my awesome employer – Automattic Inc. The video was lovingly edited by my colleagues and posted in no time! Much like what i mentioned in the video, the company cares a lot for its employees’ wellbeing. I say that as i hold […]
As the world tries to recover back from the holiday season and new year celebrations, I enjoy my most eventful day of the year. The Second of January, 2019 is special for these reasons.
