Gadget Alert: Keychron K2 Pro keyboard
Posted on under Life & Thoughts — 1 Comment
Will it put an end to my keyboard-craving? I hope so. I’m optimistic based on two days of using it.

I recorded my first ever 10 kms run. I’m feeling quite pumped about it. In the last few months, I’ve seen my stamina increase a bit thanks to my consistent tennis practice routine, which now includes cycling 6 kms to the courts, some stretching and warmup, about an hour of tennis, and cycling 6 kms back home.

My biggest qualm due to which I left cycling was bad roads. Bad in a really bad way! Things have changed recently. The road immediately outside our society has always been pretty nice. Now the one beyond it has been newly constructed. I took my cycle to the road today morning to take advantage of […]

Ever since I bought my Apple Watch more than a year ago, I had wished for a solution to go out without my phone.

Today, I hit the magic 1000 number in my Nike+ Run Club (NRC) app. One thousand kilometers run in the last four years. It’s not spectacular, but it’s surely something 🙂
The need to rethink coding interviews

I honestly do not see how excelling at writing the most optimal algorithm for a working elevator in under 30 mins is going to help me write bug-free web interfaces, mobile apps, or whatnot.
