Kailash Nadh

Dr. Nadh left a lasting impression from his Scalar Pod interview.
His blog is equally impressive: nadh.in/blog.

His work on Malayalam has taught me so much about why it’s important to focus on “your domain” rather than engaging in chest-thumping nationalism like “Bharat Mata Ki Jay.”
Check out his work:


P. Jayachandran

He passed away recently. A friend posted about his demise, and I got to know about this great artist.
He recorded more than 16,000 songs! Wikipedia link.

Everything in India is “huge.” India is not for beginners.
Here’s an essential playlist of his songs:
YouTube Music Playlist
Songs with more than a million views would be the gateway.

How much sidewalk salt to use?
Reddit thread on Vancouver

How much does it cost for a 20-foot sidewalk? Less than a dollar.
It’s always best to shovel as soon as possible to avoid using salt altogether.


A Guy and a Golden

An amazing way to tell a story. And when you’re a Golden, it’s a little easier to write one. He is amazing! 🤩

Mantras and Music

A friend’s mantra was:
“There are always better things to do.”

Ranjan’s corollary:
“There is always a Tilak Kamod to listen to.”

My version is better 😂:
YouTube Music: Tilak Kamod


Man Me Mohan Viraje

Bhimsen Ji’s guru, Sawai Gandharva, sung this composition in Tilak Kamod.
