Birthdays are weird. You’re essentially celebrating making a whole revolution around the sun, and yet you get closer to your ultimate demise. I don’t think about death much, but birthdays are a good opportunity to reflect on our time here. I turned 29 yesterday, last day of pride month. It had never occurred to me […]
Every step I took, brought me closer to today. Every step I take, takes me closer to the promise of a tomorrow, where the clouds are silver,and the mist hugs you like an old friend of cold fire. Every moment of today, is another step to that far-flung future where the fire is ice and […]
I realized this poem has never been shared on this blog, so here it goes. It was first written in 2011, and published in August 2012 on my Deviantart profile. Posting it here for a full circle. Thank you for reading 🙂 What are we? Just a bunch of Carbon atoms, roaming freely in the […]
It’s that time of the year again. 2018 passed by so quickly, and still felt like the longest year of my life ever(don’t you hate it when that happens every year?😒). I have grown a lot this last year, maybe more than all previous years combined. 2019 brings me closer to being the magical age […]

Updates for my WordPress themes, Gutenberg on this site, and more.
Another year has passed… another instance of "This flew by way too quickly"… another set of unfinished resolutions… another bunch of unfulfilled desires… and one more "this time I'll totally do it". Every 365 days, we do this dance. We run around, go through the motions of life, trying to convince ourselves that a new […]

Working on slides for #wcnashik. Trying out actually writing stuff on paper; truly rewarding and surprisingly helpful.
Hi there! I have many things to say to you. But there are two things that I want to say the most.
Courage is not the absence of fear. It’s being afraid and doing what you have to do anyway.The third Doctor
Welcome to my new blog. Okay, this is not a new blog, but an old blog with a new .blog. Interesting, right 😀
GUADEC, which stands for GNOME Users and Developers European Conference, is an annual conference for and by the members of GNOME community, and is held somewhere in Europe every year. This year’s GUADEC was held at Karlsruhe, Germany.
…do like Romans do. Time and again, someone is going to give you this advice, and most people don’t think of it as a big deal. In fact, this might be one of the most common advices flying around, and one of the most common advice to be completely ignored by people who have achieved […]
If you only do what you can do, you will never be better than what you are. Master Shifu
I’m just back from the GNOME.Asia Summit 2016, and I must say that I’m equally exhilarated and humbled by the whole conference. The summit was a 3 day event, organized by the GNOME Asia team, and supported by the GNOME Foundation. There were a lot of GNOME Foundation members and directors at the event apart […]
This poem has been moved from my old blog. I wrote it maybe 6-7 years ago, when I used to be in the existentialistic teen-age. 🙂 Enjoy, maybe..
Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital […]
Better late than never, here’s a video of me talking about Vagrant at WordCamp Mumbai 2015. You can check out the slides on an earlier post here.
People are posting pictures, writing stuff on twitter and Facebook, and digging out old photos of their fathers; all the while I’m waiting for these few hours in a depressing train coach to pass, so I can go see him. When I think about Fathers’ day, I find it a bit weird. To those who […]
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow […]
So I came back from WordCamp Mumbai 2015 with a lot of great experiences and learning. I got to meet awesome people from Automattic and Woothemes, and a lot of developers, designers and creative people. All in all, it was an awesome event 😀
How can I not. I went last year, and I learnt a lot. But this year, I’m going to be a speaker, and my topic is “Better WordPress Development with Vagrant”. Yay 😀 Now for those of you who don’t know about WordCamp(WHY??), here is a small description WordCamps are informal, community-organized events that are […]
Welcome. First post, not much to say. Well, I suppose more awesomeness coming up 😀
