Surrounded by computing devices
My MacBook Pro cost me close to a lakh of rupees less than a couple of years ago. I use it all the time. I don’t know if I’ll ever spend that much on a single computer again.
My life is increasingly more dominated by some form of computing interface. My work involves a computer, as does my photography, entertainment, and increasingly so, even my reading. Being able to switch contexts while looking at the same screen, however, is not getting any easier. Flitting from one context to another is increasingly effortless, and staying focused with something dreary increasingly harder.
The answer, it seems, is to surround myself with multiple computers, each dedicated to a specific context.

Battle
The chicken valiantly battled being turned into a meal. You will inherit its valour.

Twittering
My blogging these days is largely confined to Twitter, with the very occasional picture on the moblog.
I’ve long regarded blogging as an outlet for self-expression first, everything else a distant second. My work-related responsibilities and associated communication needs have grown tremendously over the past year, taking away much of the energy otherwise channelled into such expression. Barcamp Bangalore has similarly taken its cut.
What’s left works rather well at crafting an expression in 140 characters.

Flat top
Lalbagh now features garbage bins shaped like tree stumps. Perhaps a sign of the carnage due to visit Bangalore’s roads?
