Guy sends me connection request on LinkedIn. His profile headline is:

But who are you, my friend?

The idea was that everyone show off their shoulders. Clearly I failed.

We continue to explore Aashima's relationship with wine 😂

Birthday celebrations with so much love

Birthday celebrations with a cake from Theobroma

Facebook has identified Nilay as Priyanka Bhaskar and Kavin as Bharat Krishna Barry. I'm just gonna leave that there.

The rock. It moves! So do the kids on it.

Thank you Chennai for teaching me that bathing daily is a luxury once can easily dispense with when water is scarce.

This skill comes in handy when I'm camping. Or cold. Or lazy. And on Sundays. Also Wednesdays. And rainy days.

Since you guys liked the #morning view, here is a fuller wide frame. Notice the #stars up above and the #mist hanging in the air from left to right.

#vanlife #camping

3000 people spend their Sunday morning fighting #airpollution in #Gurgaon

Building #sand #castles, then breaking them apart

One kid is shirtless, the other sports a sweater 😀

#sandcastles

Some rest after all that masti @ Shivpuri, Uttarakhand, India

The sights and sounds of the #Ganga #river

#vanlife #uttarakhand

I guess the walk was well worth it. Sand=Joy!

It's a long walk for the kids

We are now headed to this "lagoon"

"Man is the most insane species. He worships an invisible God and destroys a visible Nature. Unaware that this Nature he’s destroying is this God he’s worshiping." ~Hubert Reeves

Freshly washed in the river

The river is the most beautiful colour here

Lots of masti @ Srinagar, Uttarakhand

We woke up to this view

The turquoise and emerald green waters of both rivers have rather big fishes in their freezing cold waters

We took a dip at #sangam. Those pictures are too racy to share.

This is how the #Alakananda rages through #Devprayag

#Ganges #गंगा freshly made from the confluence of Alaknanda and Bhagirathi rivers

What a beautiful way to begin the day

#flowers #vanlife @ Shivpuri, Uttarakhand, India

Why kids have to leave behind #pollution, then participate in a #bonfire, is beyond me.

#nightphotography

So, we ran away in the caravan

Me, sending instructions for UPS wiring: You'll need to get

Android autosuggest: condoms.

Nope.

I'm at the age where if I need to attend something important and unmissable at 6am, I keep waking up through the night.

Would everyone I know please download the SAFAR app, screenshot the AQI and post. SAFAR is an official GoI app and the government cannot deny these figures. Let's collectively make air pollution a governance issue.

Thank you Shruti Takulia for the idea. AQI is currently over 500. That is off the charts - beyond severe. We all have to sit up and act now.

Nilay and Fakeera jumping around, as usual.

Desserts were devoured

Most of these pics were taken by Kavin, using a phone camera. It is amazing what phone cameras can do now... and of course what kids can do now with cameras.

I was out all day yesterday, travelling around Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon and getting things done. I returned home with a headache and immediately went to sleep.

Woke up this morning with the headache replaced by a sore throat. Since then I have been unable to focus on any work at all. And I have a lot of things to do.

All day I've alternated between a sore throat and a headache. Even my body doesn't know what its failure mode should be under the onslaught of these pollutants.

😍😋

When the best Mexican food you've had in recent time, comes in an edible bowl.

A #Spanish meal

Me: (crawling down I-280)

Google Navigation Woman: There is a speed camera ahead.

Me: तो बेहेनजी क्या करूँ मैं? Should I pull over and share a donut with this hopeless cop who is trying to catch speeders in rush hour Bay Area traffic? निकाल क्यों नहीं देते उसे नौकरी से?

Someone deep inside the Googleplex: I hear you brother. I hear you.

The #sea

#silhouette. Almost.

#boats against a setting sun

A nice way to let a day go... with a walk on the beach

#sunset

I showed up at a #Halloween party without a #costume, so I pulled yesterday's stunt again.

How normal people approach the presence of an Amazon Echo in a bathroom: "Oh, the house owners listen to music while showering. Good call 👍🏽"

How I approach the situation: "That thing's going to listen to the sounds I make on the pot, then run Hadoop jobs on them. My bodily noises need privacy."

When you come to SF for a meeting but decide to stay back and party rather than brave 6pm traffic...

Flip your thermal jacket over, zip it all the way up to hide your collar, let your hair loose, and hopefully blend in/stand out.

There's only one word to describe the #EDM scene in #SF. Lame. People will head bang to anything here.

Two years ago. Doing what I do best.

The #sealion is my spirit animal. It loves basking in the sun - lying around on its back all day, scratching its body, emitting loud grunting sounds for no reason, and swatting at anyone who comes close.

About last weekend
