Using the gym during the times of Corona: Sunday Musings #88
Last week I finally felt brazen enough to start going to the gym. And to be honest I am spend more time sanitizing the equipment than exercising. According to the Government rules, it is not necessary to wear the mask while we are exercising alone. That means we were...

I have been speaking quite a bit about the temperature and humidity this summer in Dubai, so here is another fun thing I have been obsessing over this week: the UV index. As a dark skinned Indian, who had never been worried as a kid about tan or the sun protection (I...

June 2020 – An update: Sunday Musings #82
Usually I am a quick learner, but I spent quite a large part of the last two weeks of June 2020 trying to figure out the free opt-in email subscription on MailChimp and failed spectacularly. It is not much about being unable to get it working, as much as it is about...
What’s up, people?: Sunday Musings #81
Remember my laptop was making weird noises a while ago, and then it subdued? Well, that didn't last long. I had to send it for a repair last week and I am making do with an old laptop for now. It has been a learning curve but it works for now. But damn, I miss my...
