About today 14 May 2025

 Today was a hectic day, I woke up a bit drunk and decided to put in a little more sleep, bunk office. Still, there was a lot of work to do, the Sun fired off two X-class flares after more than a month. I have not been going to the Space Weather Live forums, which I intend to do. There were also some stories demanded by editors. I finished up all the extra stories even though I was not working, and then went for lunch at Carnatic Cafe. The staff did not know the items on their own menu, and if I take the original kannada names, they do not understand only. There are some older, more experienced staff who know. They had run out of coconut water again, but I discovered that the thali includes bisibele bhath on Wednesdays. They cycle out the side rice dish and the type of kosambri every day, and there is no lunch available on Mondays. The kosambri alone is worth it, which you do not get anywhere else in Delhi. There is a place called Kosambri but that restaurant bulks up the delicate salad with corn, and you have to order a whole tub which often goes to waste as I cannot possibly eat so much. 

I came back home and drank more beer, this was strong beer called Crossbones! Was fun, had tried Beera Rise before that, which is rice based. Spent some time on Clubhouse. The alternatives to Clubhouse are a bizarre mix of betting, dating and generative AI apps. There is an Asus ROG G16 waiting for me in the office tomorrow.
