If you find me saying insensitive things and what not, please do correct me. I'm a work in progress and I am far from perfect. I make a lot of mistakes and would like to correct them before they become problematic.

So Europe turns back the clock this week, but US does it next week? Whoever made the timezone rules were on some high quality hallucinogens.

People have taken the "support local businesses" push from our PM to simply trend and give publicity to the already rich and booming businesses in the country who cater to the richest of the rich. (High class desserts, chocolates and the likes).

What we really should be doing is giving business to the street vendors who have had it hard because of a pandemic and a lockdown which hit them the hardest and the govt didn't give a fuck.

Tomatoes are about ₹50 for 2 kilos. I may buy in bulk and make a lot of sauces and dosa accompaniments.

Watching a movie with the family. Wish every evening was as relaxed as this. The daylight shit will mean I have late evening meetings from now on.

Is it better to rant or to just let things go if you want to be at peace?

Apparently, I had deep sleep only for 1.5 hours and the same amount of REM sleep. The rest was pretty light. :/

Big novels typed on emacs should be called MaGNUm Opuses.

Marcus Rashford.

That's the toot.

Being respectful of people's space. What a concept!

I'm pretty sure that my body hates the chemicals in okra and eggplant these days. Whenever I eat them (and I love those!), I feel slightly feverish and my throat gets congested.

Pop-up ads aimed at adolescents are proteen modals.

This thread is all sorts of awesome geekery and how things happen in McD.

I'm still not in the "Monday is a holiday" mindset yet.
