The bar at the Karnataka Golf Association in Bangalore. 2023.

I hate golfing. It's typically really hot and boring and my hand to eye coordination is awful. On the other hand, I'm pretty adept at eating and drinking so the KGA more than satisfies my needs. Sidebar, there is one annoying thing about this place (besides having a dress code) and that is they have several menus and each has a dedicated team of waiters, so you need to hail specific waiters to order from specific menus. It works in the end because most people like to lounge out over the course of a Sunday afternoon, but this is not the spot for a quick anything!

The namaskara spike, as explained by Mahesh Shantaram(thecontrarian.in)😂

(Apologies, I got the name mixed up. Fixed now)

People buying day passes do so on the spot, people buying 3 day passes do so 2-3 days ahead of time and so on for 5 day passes as well

This makes a greeting symbol which is also used for offering prayers (🙏)

(Namaskara in Kannada = namaste in Hindi = namaskaram in Telugu and Malyalam, or so my friend tells me)

This is months of Mahesh scraping the official website for data and analytics. He showed multiple predictions like how Namma Metro's data is likely updated manually, seeing the Holiday pattern.

On the left is my contribution to @beacondb so far in #Bengaluru since Dec 2024.

On the right is the overall coverage for #Bangalore. Only peripheral roads are covered so far and there is virtually no contribution from Bangalore west and gaps in Bangalore North, East & South.

Let us collaboratively populate the open database & use that to #degooglify ourselves. Add @beacondb to your list of #opendata projects, if not done yet.

To make Americans understand how bad #AirPollution is in India, most of the big cities in #India have air quality as bad as #LosAngeles has right now, day-after-day, throughout most of the year. I read posts suggesting people to run HEPA air purifiers in and around LA, and here I'm, running three of them 24x7 in my house in #Bangalore, yet suffering from icthy throat and infections many times a year.

Just got back from the end of year party at Champaca Bookstore in Bangalore. Drank tea, ate cake, and got tons of recommendations from smart booksellers.

Here’s today’s haul:
- The Sentence by Gautam Bhatia
- The @blaft Book of Anti-Caste SF
- Hangwoman by KR Meera
- Goat Days by Benyamin

(I was trying to pick up @matratype’s zines #4-6, but the crowd was too big, and my request got lost in the shuffle. Next time!)
