At work, I focus on software systems for industrial process automation.
Though I live in Bengaluru (Bangalore), India, my favorite city is Mysuru (Mysore), India.
I must thank the Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) community of Bengaluru for positively influencing my outlook towards software and society.
I believe in building an inclusive culture rather than ignoring demographics regardless of percentage. Let many flowers bloom in the garden.
I envision the Fediverse services built on ActivityPub as a digital town square that fosters moderate and sensible discourse and promotes consensus.
I was born when global CO2 level was 323 PPM (Ref: https://www.co2levels.org/).

The Global Liveability Index 2023, from Economist Intelligence Unit’s (EIU), is available now. It ranks the cities that have the best and worst living conditions and quality of life around the world. EIU’s liveability index quantifies the challenges presented to an individual’s lifestyle and standard of living in 173 cities worldwide. The index measures cities on five broad indicators — stability, culture and environment, healthcare, education and infrastructure. The highest score a city can get is 100.
Bengaluru (Bangalore) secured 148th spot with a score of 58.7. Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Ahmadabad have slightly better scores.
I believe Bengaluru (Bangalore) has the competence and the bandwidth to rank much better. All that is required in political will. If somebody has lived in Bengaluru even for few weeks, the first obvious expectation for improvement will be better traffic management, roads, public transport and cleaner city.

srijitWhy should you care about Human Rights?
It is easy for anyone to become either a violator of human rights, or a person whose human rights have been violated. It is easy to fall into such a faction or relationship by not caring, not knowing, not being aware or even self-aware. Thus, we need to start with self-awareness and educate ourselves on the factual and emotional aspects, paying attention and taking a rational approach. The abuse of power-control relations is simply a matter of time: it begins once we stop caring, once we lose our compassion for other human beings.

srijitAunindyo Chakravarty, former Senior Managing Editor, NDTV India & NDTV Profit, shares an interesting observation.
“India’s formally educated upper middle-class has a peculiar relationship with fake news. They know it is fake, but they still actively spread it, usually via WhatsApp. When confronted they withdraw into silence. Then they repeat the cycle, once again.”

Can relays not block each other?
In Nostr relays blocking each other are not effective (or do not make sense) as per the attached diagram. As mentioned here:
“A relay can block a user from publishing anything there, but that has no effect on them as they can still publish to other relays. Since users are identified by a public key, they don’t lose their identities and their follower base when they get banned.”

srijitDosa and idly have always been my all time favorite dish since my childhood. One has to live in southern India to experience the wide varieties of dosas and idlis.
I am sharing the photo of delicious black and red rice Dosa with filling of sweet potato curry and peanut chutney powder. It was served with coconut chutney, tomato chutney and Sambar during my recent visit to Go Native.

srijitEvery time I see this area, I wonder that this may be a haven for builders in Bengaluru. During last one decade more buildings have got added.
The Harohalli Lake is still beautiful. A lot of migratory birds flock during the winter.
The hillocks at the horizon are near Nandi Hills.
