The Pudding explains ideas debated in culture with visual essays. We’re not chasing current events or clickbait. We choose topics where visuals inform and entertain. The Pudding is such a brilliant website. I spent hours yesterday going through different essays. Unique/curious topics. Wonderful, creative presentation. - https://amitg.blog/2026/05/20/finished-reading-a-deadly-episode/

📚 Finished reading: A Deadly Episode by Anthony Horowitz ⭐️⭐️⭐️ I enjoyed the book—it never got boring. But is it a great mystery? I can t say that. The plot is too thin and hence needed two different ones, connected eventually, albeit. That means none of the central characters in either is fleshed out. It almost felt like two independent murder mysteries, stitched conveniently to fit into a book. - https://amitg.blog/2026/05/15/podcasts-are-the-pickle-ball/

Finished reading: The Bullet That Missed by Richard Osman 📚 I liked the book for the most part. Humour was nice. But there are too many characters – no longer a close-knit club. Plus, the plot, especially the mystery, is too thin. The last sixth of the book is just mid. A lot is revealed, but nothing happens. Not disappointed. But I expected better. I will continue the series after a pause. - https://amitg.blog/2026/04/07/on-a-recent-trip-with/

On a recent trip with my colleagues, I realised how bad I am at the emoji game. I just can t make sense of the conversations that take place. So I added another tool emojidict to my pocket-tools list. This should come in handy now. And here s the emoji that triggered this . - https://amitg.blog/2026/03/28/i-pushed-a-minor-upgrade/

I pushed a minor upgrade to the post stats plugin today to fix the build issues with Hugo v0.158. It should now work for all the Hugo versions supported by Micro.blog. Reinstall or look out for an upgrade. The v2 upgrade also introduced a few customisation options. Plugin Settings Two settings are available directly in the plugin configuration on Micro.blog: Remove Year Recap section from the stats page — Hides the Year Recap block at the top of the stats page, showing only the detailed all-time stats. Use the original minimal stats layout — Switches back to the original table-based stats layout introduced in v1, instead of the new card/chart design in v2. CSS Variables The plugin s appearance can be customised by overriding CSS variables in your blog s custom CSS at :root { } . Colors --ps-accent — Primary chart/highlight color (default: #3b82f6 blue) --ps-accent-light — Chart fill/back - https://amitg.blog/2026/03/28/watched-project-hail-mary-oh/

Watched: Project Hail Mary 🍿 Oh, I haven t had this much fun in the theatre for a while now. Went with family, with a few folks not generally interested in scifi. They enjoyed it as well. Ryan Gosling played the lead perfectly – he made the whole theatre laugh out loud at multiple moments. - Revamping Post Stats
Mar 27, 2026 · original
Of all the dev projects I have created, the post stats plugin for Micro.blog has been close to me. It gave me insights about my writing that I loved. Since I published the first version of this plugin in December 2021, I have wanted to revamp the stats page. I had accumulated a list of insights that were not present, but needed to be. With v2, they do — a complete rebuild, not a minor update. Here s the snapshot ( demo ). How long does it take to read everything you ve ever written? What s your longest posting streak? When do you actually post? v2 answers all of this in a modern card-based layout. I have already discovered that I had a 65-day posting streak back in early 2022 — I had no idea. Or that I post equally across the days of the week. Apparently, I m more consistent than I thought. Head over to the plugins page to upgrade to v2. Let me know what s missing. - https://amitg.blog/2026/02/01/a-pleasant-drive-to-the/

Spent an hour today writing a post that eventually felt inauthentic. I only realised after writing it that I had no opinion on the topic. Why did I think I needed to have one? It happens a lot when I read meta posts on writing. I tend to get swayed and believe that I ought to contribute. I don’t. - https://amitg.blog/2026/01/12/a-peaceful-corner-at-a/

I generally do not enjoy rock or rap songs. But I am enjoying the soundtracks from Dhurandhar. Good vibe. - https://amitg.blog/2025/12/11/while-stuck-at-a-traffic/

Watched: Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning ★★🍿 The weakest MI movie. The story is weak. The antagonist is weak. Even action only works in parts. The submarine part felt stretched. Just no tension, and that s the biggest fault. - https://amitg.blog/2025/12/10/i-have-been-away-from/

I have been away from the Arc browser for a while now—basically, the sidebar interface. I tried going back to it with the Zen browser, and it s frustratingly ineffective. It s not the best view for the tabs. Kinda limits me. - https://amitg.blog/2025/12/09/where-do-the-children-play/

Where Do the Children Play? ⚓︎ But that doesn’t change the fact that kids need their independent peer cultures. If we can’t provide physical spaces for them to form, then we must accept that they will often form in digital spaces instead. So if we’re unhappy with the digital spaces on offer — if we think there are too many figurative leopards in those forests — then we should make something better. An interesting and important read. - https://amitg.blog/2025/11/30/we-had-a-nice-unplanned/

It’s long past midnight and I am still unable to go to sleep. There’s a lot of noise outside and within . I have got nice sleep music playing in my ears, but when has that helped to cut the noise within? This is rare, but I hate when this happens. - An Evening Walk in Chennai
Nov 27, 2025 · original
Last week, I was on a work trip to Chennai. I have been to this town before, but never spent any meaningful time here. It was either during a packed schedule or during a layover en route to places like Pondicherry. The schedule this time was different – I had a free workday, which I wanted to make full use of. So I decided to take an auto to Elliot s Beach and walk down Elliot s Promenade . It had rained throughout the day, and the weather had cleared slightly as the evening dawned. I had forgotten my AirPods at my hotel – and I could not have been happier. I got to enjoy the place in its most natural form—the wind, the sounds, the absence of the hustle and bustle that comes with a beach in India. I spent a good couple of hours roaming around the empty street, drank a couple of filter coffees. Walked down a wooden walkway straight to the crashing waves – I couldn t have been happier to s
