Four years ago, I attended a Wikipedia editing event for the India LGBTQI community. That Sunday, a bunch of volunteers got together to generate online content for the community that has been far from represented. The event happens every June and we call it Wiki Loves Pride. Many supporters and people who identify themselves as … More Of gender and other fundamental choices
I am not sure what would be the right word for July. It was some where in between. Slightly disappointing yet manageable. Some things worked out and some did not. Work was hectic and gave me enough hints to slow down. I reflected and realized that as I grow up in my career, I need … More Gratitude List – July 2018
Who doesn’t like flowers? When I spotted this small wonder on the Laitlum Hills in Shillong, I was amazed by how little they were. That color too was mesmerizing against the green-brown background.

There was still time to explore the village before the 5PM deadline came into force. As we drove towards Kuldhara, we saw barrens lands with no … More Kuldhara, the deserted village
