The summer has been relentless. We had a good few weeks of consistent 45C+ day temperatures, thankfully the majority of which were under conditioned air. The monsoon is late is the MET status for Delhi, but the clouds have started their on and off cover so we expect some respite soon.
What else is scorching? The world of technology of course! Android L announced a few days ago, seems a thorough UI overhaul, optimizations and quirks. I still haven't found out an answer to the question, "to what end, is technology?" There are answers, but the correct answer is elusive. I guess the search for this is my mission for sometime.
Random note: I like Linus Van Pelt, I tend to associate with his antics and look forward to the daily comic strip to see what he's gotten up to.
I recently have taken charm to Bollywood remixes from the 90's, weird as it may seem. Watching YouTube videos of trains chugging by is another odd thing I seem to enjoy these days. I think its the feeling of continuity, motion, the pleasant sound of track meeting train, the familiarity of the whole thing.
I'm enjoying the new project at work, building a new system from scratch. Bits of research from competition, taking inputs from existing client systems and a lot of brainstorming to come up with ideas which actually make sense. Brainstorming is underrated. Give me good company, we'll solve world problems.
I came across a village called Sato in Gumla distt. Jharkhand. Maharashtrians added 'kar' to the village they stayed in to make family names. More research needed here, but a good start I'd say.
I wanted to buy a run down Amby or a Contessa, but there is no place to keep them. I take it they'll be good investments for 15-20 years down the line. I am forced now to end this post as the laptop battery is at 8%. No new Guinness leads.
Did I mention its scorching outside?
