Midway through a2.2 of German. Brain is exploding figuring all the rules of adjective declension. Kinda feel like I'm getting a hang of relative sentences. Realizing how much more simpler Malayalam is when it comes to the same grammar. Oh well... Continue to push through

Wife decided to go back half time to work and thought we could get what she normally earns if combined with elterngeld. Turns out there is a cap even for that. Doesn't even make sense to go back to work at all

Watching House of ashur. Kinda ok. The things I find most funny and interesting is the weird medieval English dialogue.

Finally finished reading the final space graphic novel. Was great. Unfortunate it couldn't end as a show. Hoping one day it can happen.

Got reminded of how hard fevers hit in India. Almost been a week since I'm back and still me and my wife haven't fully recovered and we just feel fatigued

Tickets booked. Going to gamescom this year

Kerala had a day off for schools for the world cup finals. Damn we don't even qualify for it

Been only 2 weeks in India and my wife already just wants to go back to Berlin. She has realized home is now in Berlin and India is a yearly chore to appease relatives

Kerala/India needs to design highways better. 50km/hr speed limit is a joke

Damn was considering checking out zig during my free time as I have no experience with lower level languages. But the recent drama with bun puts me off

Everytime i feel like I have figured all the rules of adjective declension there comes a new one.

Shopping in kerala is so annoying now. I'm asked for my phone number every time when I need to pay. Now so many stores are asking for Google reviews and expect it to be done immediately or start calling me if I don't do it the same day

Man the sick policy in Germany was a big positive. Is there any policy from this govt that actually feels good for the middle class that pays so much into the system?

Always struggled with a starbucks small size Americano in Germany. Ordered one here in kochi and it's half the size. So Starbucks sizes vary across countries

Thought I was escaping the heat wave in Germany going to India. My home A/C is faulty and just old. Now dealing with Indian humid heat. Damn there is no escape from the heat

Odd year for the Berlin music scene. Almost no one I listen to is coming to Berlin.

Realizing hitting a 100gm protein per day is not cheap.

Another summer and wishing aircon was a common thing in German homes. This year I moved into a roof top apartment and this place heats up like an oven

Watching these real estate videos from various Asian countries. Their definition of semi luxury apartment is very different from what u see in Germany. Almost all of them had swimming pools, fitness center and lot of common open space.

I've been trying out a food service that delivers meals that I just need to heat up. It has made my life so much easier. Just cook whenever I actually feel like doing it a couple of times a week

I wish the Indian visa website looked a bit polished. Are we this bad at ux. Also the form validation is confusing. Can't we do govt websites much better. We could desperately use a design system so all govt websites have a similar experience

Downloaded black myth wukong thinking it's some game like witcher. Barely managed the first boss fight and realized it's souls like game. Deleted. I don't need the stress

Reading about the SpaceX IPO to mint a lot millionaires among the employees. Wonder if a similar story will ever happen in the EU

Netflix was great but overtime diluted cinema experience. I remember as a kid of how much we would talk about an upcoming movie or recently released movie for weeks. Now content stays relevant in a conversation for like 2 weeks and it's already outdated.

I could get used to parental leave. Not thinking about work, not chasing any tech/ai news. Just relax, take care of the kid, chores, do some activities out of interest and some workouts

Announcing my auth book! A completely free online resource on implementing auth with fully-featured examples Over 10,000 words right now and I still have plenty of things to write about auth.pilcrowonpaper.com

My copy of the final space comic is on its way. Been waiting for 2 years. Can't wait to read how the remaining story unfolds. Really hope someone brings this show back to life

Cool to see my experimental npm package worked for someone hitting a typescript wall with a large translations file with next-intl

Was surprised to see openai models are decent with malayalam

Dhurandhar was a bit too long. It's like a 8 part miniseries shown on 2 episodes. Was done well. Did not feel the usual corny feeling I get from Bollywood movies. Action was done well. A bit too violet for my taste. Luckily I could pause and skip the gory parts
