New Ouchie; Who dis — 2026

8 days ago I managed to twist my left ankle (you may know of this ankle as the good ankle). :(

It was a Saturday and I was super excited because I was integrating cycling back into my training regimen. I picked out a good spot for running and decided to cycle my way there. This would hit two goals at the same time: long distance cycling and easy zone-2 workouts.

Neovim Again

After almost 5 years of using Vscode, I am again seriously giving Neovim a shot.
A bunch of folks in my immediate circle use Neovim which was the main trigger for this.

Update on Principles

The recent post about hypomnemata, gave me a lot to think about this.

This post came at a time when I am trying to get into mediation. I've been quite regular at this and the idea of looking a principle to ruminate on while meditating is new.

You can just do things

A good friend said this to me when I was afraid of failing.

He followed it up with the pigeons in the park are free; you can just take them home.

The Lyrid Meteor Shower

One fine day, I find myself invited to a meteor-shower viewing trip. The details were still undecided but it would involve a bike ride of about 100 kilometres one way. In order to view a meteor shower, we need to get out of the city-light-pollution.

I took some time to confirm my plans. I was getting the pre-trip cold-feet when a friend kindly stepped up and helped me navigate those (thank you). Now that I had committed to the trip, I decided that I would carry my coffee-making equipment on the trip because why not!! It turned out to be a good idea.

Waiting at a hospital

Because of reasons which are too private, I find myself in a hospital. I am ok; I am here for someone else.
Hospitals are places of waiting (amongst other things) and I think I am good at it. The lack of information does bother me at times.
