Something odd happened to me this Sunday. I visited my parents for lunch, waiting for my wife to join us. She had left earlier that morning to visit her friend. When I arrived, my parents had collected piles of junk to dispose off. My parents are hoarders of sorts, slow to let go of junk. Among the pile was an old, rusted table fan, which hadn’t been used for months now, a ceiling fan that recently broke down.…

I dread hospitals, and last week, I was forced to take my father to one. My father had a long-planned dentist appointment to remove the top row of teeth, to fit a denture. He was prescribed antibiotics and some painkillers, both with nausea and vomiting marked as the major side effects. My father also has rare bouts of vertigo in the mornings that manifest once every few years, and while he does not suffer from diabetes and heart issues, he has a mild arrhythmia, for which he takes an Ecospirin a day.…

It is smooth, and it offers low-resistance freedom like a well-lubed hinge. The shoulder unlike other joints offers a much wider and complex range of motions than say, the knee.…

The bakchods demand a review of my new purchase, and a review I must write. I like to think I’m a purist, but not the kind to stack Atloids case after case, of DACs and amplifiers, a battery pack for each of them. I like my music, my podcasts, and I can’t stand the noise of my workplace, people mindlessly blabbering on, endless Teams calls and worse. I’ve hated the idea of Bluetooth and truly wireless earphones, but since my wife nudged me to get one, I did.…
