#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…

Home Screen 2018
#
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.
