Two people have dedicated their entire lives for this from 1993?! And two more from 2003!! What will it take for India to get to where it needs to be???? When will that happen?

 And I am definitely making a trip there when I am in Chennai next! Applications invited for those who want to give me company. June 2010 sometime? :)

A job's been left behind

So, for those of you who don't know, after working there for 9.5 years, I quit Google in Feb 2020 and have just hit my 2 months off-work anniversary! An excited me, the first Tuesday I was off work - after having woken up without an alarm at 5:30am!  I quit the full time software engineering job so that I could move closer towards working in the education and/or women's empowerment space - two areas I've been working on, on the side, for the last 19 years. I've always known that I wanted to work on these issues full time at some point in life. But why did it take me so long? One of the problems was that I didn't know what exactly I wanted to do in that space (I still don't, I've done a bit of many things I'm very interested in over the years) but I thought I needed to know an exact plan of action before I could quit the known career. I had to learn over the last many months at my job that I had to free myself from the giant that was occupying al

A meandering post about a bunch of stuff and a date I can't quite forget

 We got a brand new 2021 all electric Nissan Leaf a few weeks ago. We are in the future now.  For those of you who know me, this must come as a surprise! All my adult life, I've been against buying new vehicles and I've tried to convince everyone who cares to listen, to never fall in that trap. But, this car comes as a privilege for the new Nissan employee in the household. The hubby's employee benefits is to be able to lease new vehicles and get reimbursed for it! He jumped at the opportunity of being able to drive an all electric, brand new car - which, given how his fate changed after meeting me, was not to be. Until he became a Nissan employee, that is... So, that's how we, the owners of a 2004 Accord and a 2006 Mazda 3, end up with a 2021 Leaf! My first thought, after he read about this perk was that we could use an aux cable! None of our cars have ever had an aux input port. We've tried to use the aux -> radio frequency converter rather unsuccessfully. But,

... The Second Day

Incidents on the second day of being a child again. *** It's true that grownups like nice weather too, but they only think and ponder over it while we, it seems, drink it in. Grownups too, like a bright morning, but for us, it is frozen wine - it's as if we were made drunk by it. When I was a grownup and I saw snow, I already anticipated the slush. I felt the damp overshoes and wondered whether there would be enough coal for the winter. And joy, it was there too, but sprinkled somehow with ashes, dusty and grey. But now, there are thousands of sparks inside me. It's as if someone sprinkled diamond dust in my soul and along the ground. *** It's a stern punishment - the corner. I'm weak; sitting in the seat bothered me; I leanded back; I couldn't sit straight. Now I have to stand. *** It's a pity that the wonderful game was spoiled so. Wonderful?! How meager is man's language. But then, what can you say? *** How many windows are we allo
