Yowza: India alerts 40 countries about pedophiles who were members of a whatsapp group that was busted in February #CBI #India #Whatsapp

You were a phenomal woman who moved mountains for her children & grandchildren. The way you’d share stories of your kids growing up … almost like a child skipping through a garden in excitement. I learnt this week that maybe I’ve inherited my eyes from you…
Why don’t I hear your voice say “Who is it, is that you Chirag” as I walk past the door? Always checking to make sure I’d eaten. Something that hasn’t changed since 9th grade incidentally, when I spent 2 months living alone with you & Nanaji. That time though, you just cooked for me the whole time and turned me into a nice little ball. Things I wanted to eat, and things I didn’t even think of. In many ways, I’m a product of those 2 months, as much as I am a product of your daugther’s hard work, something she entirely learnt from you.
You fought hard I know, and I hope it is nothing but peaceful now.
The last time I heard your voice … you insisted on speaking to me … it was tough to hear you sound like you were giving up. Today, with time, I can reflect on your powerful words … and your belief in me through them.

To your legacy.

Thanks to some amazing planning a week in advance, I spent the morning with my hot date. Some tongue may have been involved. #valentinesday #wednesday #mydubai #justanotherday #cleanteeth #teeth #dentist #oral

If you’re a #podcast app developer, do check out the https://podto.org specification by @iamsteadman & @ThePodPlaylist, see a potential to reach Markdown-type acceptance. Would be great to see @overcastfm & others support it.

Who says you can’t experiment with coffee? #coldbrew #gingerale #coffee #Tuesday #ipad #cold #icedcoffee #dubai #mydubai #makingithappen #humpday #whynot #workworkwork

Excited to finally have my podcast network site up. If all works well, will have some interesting sponsors and 2 new shows soon!

Love and marriage, they go together like dosa and cabbage…

Continuing M.G. Siegler’s tradition, my homescreen kicking off 2018. Not to worry, it was screenshot’d on January 1.

Outside of the obvious change to screen size, compared to 2017:

• I’ve switched back to the default mail client after some trouble with Outlook on iOS.
• Overcast makes the home screen with podcasts—both listening and creating—taking on a prominence last year.
• The social media folder gets a move towards the bottom row for easier thumb access
• My recent foray into HomeKit products means Home gets some attention
• Apple Pay arriving to my part of the world means the Wallet says hello.
• Workout things moved away as I continue to track movement, but open history way less
• Been wanting to experiment with Halide all the more
• Calculator became a control center action during 2017. The move of control center to the more inconvenient top right has affected this ever so slightly, but I just find myself using Spotlight for basic computation.
• I still don’t know why Apple News hasn’t left my home screen.

Until next year.

Hariprasad N joins us to talk about India’s Right to Education (RTE): its flaws, the decline in education quality and the continuting discrimination it propagates.
