Small chapters from my life, lessons learned and random thoughts.

And how the media and other people extoll the virtues of HIIT and running doesn’t help either. My running regime lasted more than a couple of years. During that time, […]
It’s funny how in the morning you could be staring down at green valleys laden with colorful houses reflecting the newborn sun and in the evening back in your cozy home thinking about the cool morning in the mountains.
Will it put an end to my keyboard-craving? I hope so. I’m optimistic based on two days of using it. During my Europe trip last month, I was confused between an Apple Magic Keyboard, a Keychron, and a Nuphy Air75 (all similarly priced and 75% form factor).

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.
