So it’s been 3 months into 2026. Let’s look back and reflect on things.

January

January was packed. Bangalore trip to meet my college brothers, Abish Mathew’s comedy show, birthday, and Mumbai for Lollapalooza where Linkin Park performed.

You can read the full January experience here.

February

Hyd

February was very normal. On the 8th of February which was Sunday, we went to explore Ibrahimpatnam area. It’s far from the city like 40 km or so. Later in the same evening we had a comedy show for Vir Das. I would say the show was one of the good shows. I really liked how he did overall for everything. He kept us hooked till end with the storytelling and everything.

Went to Numaish Exhibition which happens every year in Hyderabad. I would say it’s kind of overrated, a lot of crowd like a lot. Not worth it but if someone goes early then maybe it’s good.

Hyd

I explored Forestrek Park which is just few km away from the city. I did some running, explored the whole place. A park with treks and walkways through beautiful wooded areas and small rocky hills. It’s located near Narsingi.

Not much happened in February.

March

Hyd

Oh boy! This month was very long I felt. But one good thing that happened was I was able to change my apartment. I moved from my old apartment where I stayed nearly for 4 years to a new one. The new apartment is good, better light, better place and all.

Also, this month was crazy, like a lot happened from the war that’s going on between US and Iran, T20 World Cup Final, which India won and gas shortage in India, etc. I am glad that March is over.

I visited my hometown to attend one of my close friend’s marriage. It was a short trip. And I came back within 3 days.

Work

I have been busy mostly with my office work so not much time has been spent on my side projects. I am kind of handling 3 projects at once and a team so it’s been pretty busy.

I worked on a multi-tenant system heavily, an audio ML pipeline, streaming APIs for audio inference etc. Including deployment and scaling of the application.

Looking Ahead

Yeah I mean overall it’s a decent progress over 3 months. I need to start working out actually, I am not able to build that habit yet.

Let’s see how the rest of 2026 goes.
