Started the #TheFirstJasmine and five episodes into it , can’t understand why people are complaining

This story began as a Drabble that turned into a micro-fiction before turning into a flash. Shared the versions on patreon and you can read it here: patreon.lucidillusions.in/posts/hallow... #AmWriting #FlashFictionFriday #ShortStory #WritingCommunity #NewPost

I’m looping the Ae Dil Hai Mushkil soundtrack as I’m getting some work done and I’m once again amazed by how beautifully Amitabh Bhattarcharya has written certain verses

@vatsan16.bsky.social turned on the stream and here we go 😂

I really really don’t understand why Delhi is hell bent on getting Rishab Pant back

I finally finally convinced my husband to let me buy a new router I needed for my job and by god it feels so goood to have functional competent internet again . But it also means I have to ducking set up my nest X Yale lock again and my doorbell again and they are not customer friendly at all

Love the Kiwi girls but go Ireland :) #WT20WC26

Such an excellent beginning for Ireland this

Aaaaaaaaaaaand a save

My husband who’s sort of baby army in kpop parlance asked me if Korea is wearing purple because of BTS 😂

WOMG

Damn Shreyanka . She was just coming back from an injury.

Anytime the Indian women are collapsing in a game I page @vatsan16.bsky.social asking him to either start watching or stop watching the game thanks to the love for and trauma of watching and rooting for the DC WPL team. This collapse against NL is sort of worrying

I have been on the job market for a while now because I need change and a semblance of work life balance - I’ve not landed an interview yet sigh

Raakh is a very disturbing but well made true crime series . I’m sort of mad that most well made series coming out of India are true crime based but . It turns my stomach to watch them and I desperately want something lighter

Friends! I wrote my first novel! Please buy it! Out October 6th, 2026 Pre order here angryrobotbooks.my.canva.site/compendium-o... @angryrobotbooks.bsky.social

I was using fable as my peer in a shit ton of coding projects and the fallback to Opus which is quite good feels like I’ve lost a superbly talented coworker and am working with a competent but less intuitive and less attuned colleague instead

Fable I miss you and I love you

Also , I’m going to miss fable come 22nd

Where are you guys seeing Canada vs Bosnia . It’s neither on fox nor on Telemundo

B with the exception of certain people or circumstances where both my husband and I have agreed that we don’t want to know because there’s drama involved that we want to steer clear of . I feel that it’s better to be a set unless there are specific exceptions to that agreed upon by both parties

Okay , so YouTube TV is not airing the opening ceremony on the fox channels is it ? I’m currently watching on Telemundo on Peacock

Growing up , I didn’t realize that caste was so prevalent in society because it didn’t exist in my immediate vicinity . We didn’t have separate utensils or hierarchy in our home and neither were we allowed to discriminate on or assert our privilege .

I’ll probably someday write about how Vo Nahin is about missing one’s roots in one’s new home and about how Tere Paas is about how one’s memories of one’s home sticks to their being and personhood even when it’s no longer possible to go back and one no longer can or wants to associate to said roots

This is such a beautiful soundtrack about a love story between two people and two country that were once one . Imtiaz Ali , AR Rahman and Irshad Kamil have cooked up something very very special . @unnclerobin.eurosky.social you’ll love this . #NowPlaying #MusicSky music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

When you recommend Macca’s latest to fellow Beatles head @vaishs.bsky.social and she tells you she loves it , ah the day is made :)

So I'm experimenting with paid subscriptions to my Patreon again. See if this interests you? Plus follow me there anyway for tons of free stories and poems anyway. Are they any good? Only if you hate bad writing! www.patreon.com/7685476/join

To beta or not beta is the question , even if I’m extremely tempted to

You are dying from overwork but there’s test cricket running on the telly on mute and it makes a difference

Okay . I’m going to keep Yapping about the Boys of Dungeon Lane but “Life can be hard” is such a lovely love song .

I am planning to introduce the Beatles to my no longer 11 , freshly 12 year old niece over the July holidays . She already is aware of Hey Jude , Norwegian Wood, While My Guitar Gently Weeps etc. I’m hoping she comes to love this band and its work as much as I do.

The Boys of Dungeon Lane makes for a super easy listen and boy does Macca still have his musical rizz . #NowPlaying #MusicSky #TheBoysOfDungeonLane

Finally catching up to Boys of Dungeon Lane

Bryce Canyon NP was magical . The hikes were nervy thanks to my vertigo and slight altitude issues but it was so so so good

It’s always interesting to see a local legend like karuppasaamy adapted into a big screen narrative but super disappointing when it’s so bland , unappealing and blearghhhh. #Karuppu was so so bad that I’m going to cleanse it by watching Vidathu Karuppu , the small screen adaptation to the legend

The best thing about #ASplendidMatch is that Gu Jin Zhao is a badass , but she’s a believable badass and not a Mary Sue .

When the going is tough work wise , I come to Jade Palace for their home style tofu and spring rolls

Outlook finally fixed their signin death loop bug and it only took them a few months yay

My first day back in AZ after a week in VA running errands , I’m running errands . The VA errands were more fun cos 11 and 7 were amazing company through it, even and despite the rampant bribery

Okay so when skyfeed went down , the kdrama feed glitched and so did migration of it . I now have a backup / new feed up and running here bsky.app/profile/did:.... Please feel free to pin / like and use the feed. It will work the same way the Anneyong feed does

Okay so , whatever is affecting skyfeed is affecting feed migration as well .

testing a #kdrama feed debug

And that bombed . Let me see if I should stand up a brand new feed instead or if this is fixable

Madras Sky feed test

Kinda moved the #MadrasSky feed to graze . The feed is set to non-monetize so no ads will show up and I added a filter block to keep out spam . Let’s see how it works out

Back to AZ and my old routine which somehow doesn’t seem as hectic as compared to last week.

Damn , I’m going to miss my Everlane air Tees . May be I should stock up real soon before they change manufacturing and what not

Say a prayer for the women married to the men who can’t stop talking about AI. (This story is spectacular and, speaking from personal experience with all due respect to my spouse, spot-on.)
