@AKanisetti @Nadika @sankarshan My best experience in life so far was the museum in Cape Town, South Africa. That was to put simply overwhelming. I didn't want to post too much because that was just beyond this world. But still I did put up some bits at -

@KayKap @gemlog it actually all depends and also where you are coming from. For e.g. in free software groups which used e-mail as one of it's main discussion fora the convention is always to have all the interested parties in the to: if you want to separately send people the same stuff but other people not to know use BCC, so at least for me that convention and usage has stayed for me for two odd decades now.
@Irrationalist @kushal @jamewils @ranjona @rupagulab @Atticus_finch kushal's tweet reminded me of puri.sm although don't know when, what price-point, warranty etc. will it be launched in India. I had known it from before but had interaction with him last year at kerala debtusav

#india #introduction I dunno what to say about myself. I have been a GNU/Linux user for about 15-20 odd years. Have had the pleasure to travel all over India for workshops and such. Have been on mastadon and the bluebird site since long although have started social media more so in the last 6 months or so.
#My interests are varied, I love learning and sharing about law, technology, environment, sci-fi, books, music, movies, the list is endless.

The fact that BJP feels a migrant isn’t “real” because they aren’t traveling with 3 suitcases & an LED TV just shows how out-of-touch these shameless sanghis are with the grim reality of poverty.
No wonder then that Modi is willing to starve millions for his incompetence.

People want to go home. Do you know that feeling? When nothing makes sense. Your life has come crashing down.. and you want to be around people you love the most and you'd rather die to get a glimpse of them. Because you're so afraid you'll never see them again. Do you get that?
@redstarfish perhaps you can now advance to D ;)

Was half-asleep and a thought occured. Few years ago, we used to have movies, hollywood movies which pictured people living in hiding, escaping from zombies, replace zombies with coronavirus and the same thing is happening in reality today. It's almost unreal not to see people or see so few people on the roads when you go to buy veggies as that's the only thing we revolve around nowadays. Unreal and real at the same time, unprecedented.

@musafir The guy is an economist to the core.. Oxford doesn't hand out Eco degrees just for the heck of it.. that course is even tougher than LSE's. Jokers don't go to United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), from 1966 to 1969....

Exactly! It was Asimov who put forth the theory that for a model of the universe to faithfully reproduce all of the Universe's quirks, the model will have to be as large as the universe itself!!
I know Asimov pinched bottoms, but I put it down to his brand of eccentricity! 😆
Apt song for today.

I just saw Ad Astra, I had seen almost all of it yesterday night except for half an hour. Saw it, for those who are looking for high-octane action there's nothing, those who are looking for drama, there's lots. In many ways, it is very similar and closer to Matt Damon's 'The Martian' so if you liked that, you are surely going to like this. Ain't going to give the story away :)
