This week, a story from a slightly past life when I was a dedicated food blogger, and came across My Custard Pie, not just a blog but a brand that is growing strong day by day.

Let’s go iPad Pro!
I’ve been a regular and observed Bull & Roo’s cafes and restaurants grow over the past 3 years to new heights. Was great to get a behind-the-scenes on how it all came together for our latest episode :)
🎙
Happy Dussehra to everyone celebrating! Keep that light shining :)
This turned out to be one of the best stories I’ve had the opportunity to cover. This week’s Tales of the Trade features the story of Surf House Dubai, a tale of resilience:

Excited to be a part of Dubai’s first ever Podcasts Forum on September 29 to mark International Podcast Day! Look forward to catching up with fellow podcasters and podcast fans in the area :)
Was great catching up in person for the first time with the rest of the @amaeya podcasting family 🎙
Really should have done this a long time ago!
Trust me to put together an event while a fairly massive cricket match is ongoing all of 10 mins away, another 100 pax group is conducting one at the same venue, and while I publish two episodes.

Google Data Collection
#Both Android and Chrome send data to Google even in the absence of any user interaction. Our experiments show that a dormant, stationary Android phone (with Chrome active in the background) communicated location information to Google 340 times during a 24-hour period, or at an average of 14 data communications per hour. In fact, location information constituted 35% of all the data samples sent to Google. In contrast, a similar experiment showed that on an iOS Apple device with Safari (where neither Android nor Chrome were used), Google could not collect any appreciable data (location or otherwise) in the absence of a user interaction with the device.
A link to the detailed report is here.

A stalwart in every way. May his life be celebrated.

Doesn’t have to look like summer even if it is 45 deg C.
Just received the first round of behind the scenes shots of our upcoming podcast season. Been rather enlightening to have a producer on board, not to mention getting a bird’s eye view you can’t really have as a host. 🎙
“I’ll text you my email address,” he said, before proceeding to email me his email address.
#shortStory #overBeforeItStarted
The last week I’ve had multiple conversations off social media, about social media, its impacts & what we’ve lost along the way. A shoutout to those who have patiently heard me out & shared insightful feedback. Can’t thank you enough. #socialMedia #indieWeb
How goes your weekend folks?
Trying out a take on the Aviation cocktail, with gooseberry/amla jam for that little extra Vit C.
