It's a warm morning and I'm left yearning for the lovely rains we had last evening. Here is one more photo showing the plants enjoying the rain! This portion of our campus is a little bit low lying, and hence the rain water tends to accumulate in the garden patches. While this is good during light rains, when we have heavy rains it makes the ground soggy and water-logged - and plants don't like that. Thankfully, with our hot weather, the water logging quickly disappears with…

The power of marketing? I bought a body wash for my son and look at how the packaging is targeted at kids! Amazing isn't it?! It includes a super hero as the main theme of the body wash (Flash) and the entire packaging is themed around that red color. Read the description on the package about what the body wash does! I didn't realise applying soap or bodywash could be so exciting! And then some added trivia to keep my son's entertained while he opens the packaging. They also…

The rain clouds are coming from afar. I'm just back from work and the scene out of the balcony is one of impending rain. The clouds to the right are lighter and whiter and you can see the clouds to the left and further away are dark and heavy with rain. At the horizon you can clearly see the rain demarcation. The breeze is growing stronger and the smell of rain is in the air. I think the rain will reach here in 30 minutes. Let's see how it goes. The first shot is an ultra…

I think this is my first attempt at multitasking while cooking. Frying a burger patty and french fries at the same time! Yes, I'm not a MasterChef and I'm a nervous set of butterfingers in the kitchen. And this is where I max out on my cooking talent. My wife and I make a great team at running the house though - so although the brunt of the food related stuff is borne by her, I pitch in when I can and take care of cleaning etc. I guess that's why even though my novice effort…

It's amazing how different seasons of weather affect different trees in the same place in different ways. I'm enclosing a photo showing 2 trees. (marked with red arrows). The one on the right is fully green with plenty of leaves in summer. As the monsoon approaches, it starts shedding leaves (as you can see) and becomes quite bare by December when it is cooler. The tree on the left gets greener and leafier with the monsoon and cooler months. And they exist side by side,…

How do you prevent your eyes from watering when you are cutting onions? This question popped in my mind when I was tearfully cutting some onions last night. I've seen a few suggestions and tips, but there will surely be much more. 1. Wear eye glasses or shades or a visor 2. Cut them under water 3. Make chewing motions with your mouth. This drains the tears better 4. Force the air away by directing a fan at them. Any more tips? Photo is of the onions I cut messily yesterday -…

I'm into kid mode this week. Baby Shark can be the most annoying song to listen to if you're a parent and your child is singing this repeatedly while running around the house. Thankfully my younger one seems to have just outgrown that stage. For some reason, this song re-entered my head, mainy due to this street version of the song. A street performer takes a song request from a child and guess what he has to sing now? Baby Shark! And boy! Does he nail it. I like his music…

My balcony garden skills are notoriously poor and any attempt to try something new usually results in a painful death for some living being - usually plants. So my attempt to grow whatever this plant is (?pedilanthus or devil's backbone) even leaves me skeptical.

After some rain, the sun decided to peep out through patches of clear skies this afternoon. It's a bit humid still and the warmth has made the overall weather a little muggy. On a parallel note, we have a few majestic trees in our campus and it's mesmerizing when they are highlighted against the skies. They look even more amazing during clearer days when the sky is bluer and there are fewer clouds. Hope to get a clear day to capture their height and majesty soon!

I was looking at its light breaking through and realised that the sun must be plotting it's escape route to free itself from the cloud trap and get onto the blue sky. There were patches of blue on the sides and higher up. I'm sure, with millions of years of experience, the sun would surely find its escape.

Anyway, are CAPTCHAs inhuman and are they caahle of cheating people? Take a look at these images. The CAPTCHA promised me, before I claimed the faucet at cointiply, that I would 'win hands down'. I almost sent in my resignation papers but held on till I actually made the claim. You can see…

This is a continuation of my previous post - CAPTCHAs are liars! https://noise.cash/post/14v9497z Today at cointiply, the CAPTCHAs got even more sneaky with an arrogant overconfidence that shows the ruthless skills needed to differentiate human and bot. It gloated over how it had 'double crossed' me yesterday with a taunt to win. Needless to say, I still had to be a slave and solve the CAPTCHA while it gloated over yesterday's victory. And today, as a consolation, cointiply…

The battle is real. I wonder if this battle is restricted to the concrete jungles we live in or extends to the real jungles far away. The battle between concrete, greens, water, sky snd glass. This photo captures that battle in the morning. The greenery is restricted to large patches that are ever dwindling. Flowing water is thinned out to a tiny stream which is filthy with human garbage. Concrete and glass are taking over and a single tall builing breaks the skyline. The…

I've been using cryptotab pro version on my old android phone at home. It has some advantages over the lite android version. While some of the features like the 1500 hashrate (vs 300), 3 hourly renewal of mining (vs 2 hourly) and no waiting in queue are wuite easy to understand, I didn't understand these 3 features that were enlisted. - Separate profiles for multiple users - Secure connection to public Wi-Fi - Unlimited number of connected remote devices These 3 features are…

FaucetCrypto is turning out to be my favorite non-articlewriting crypto earning site. I reached level 100 today and feel mighty happy. I've been paid multiple times by them and find it easy to earn through their PTCs, shortlinks and faucet (every 25 minutes). Unfortunately, I usually don't qualify for their surveys - if you do, it's definitely their biggest earner! Here's a screenshot enjoying my level 100. You can find a guide on how to earn and proof of payment at my…

Lasith Malinga retires from all forms of cricket. Malinga was one of the most flamboyant cricketers ofnthis generation. Everything about him was flamboyant. His bowling action was flamboyant. His hair was flamboyant. His smile was flamboyant. His sportsmanship was flamboyant. His ability to bowl yorkers was flamboyant. His hat-tricks were flamboyant. I'm sure the cricketing fans from every country will miss him. What do you remember most about Malinga. (Photo from Gulte…

That eerie glow before the sun breaks out at sunrise! It's not too bright and most of the sky looks dull grey and blue, but the sun marks its position with that glow behind the hills. And a few minutes later, it breaks out and fills the earth with its glorious light and warmth. And it's been doing this for thousands of years!!
@a2j
Precursor to sunrise. One of the beautiful things about having sunrise behind a hill, is the beautiful glow that comes on an hour before the sun actually rises. I captured it late today, so the color of the glow is not as brilliant as usual. I should have captured it half an hour earlier. It's almost like a pre-show preview before the actual sunrise!

Sometimes, the crypto earning world gives you a well deserved break from the arduous task of clicking and clicking on and on. ADBTC decided to give me some breathing space as I was doing some short links. This is one of the weirdest errors I have ever gotten on any website. I looked all around and confirmed that I haven't been sucked into a black hole. All is well and the site was back again. The error may hsve been triggered as I took a break in the middle of clicking and…

Chocolates at work! What can be more exciting than colleagues who bring chocolates and leave it on the common desk for all to share?! Certainly the brightest spot of today at work for me. I managed to grab one before they were devoured by the rest. Thankfully, our workplace has several such days. Sometimes it's cake, sometimes it's home made snacks, sometimes it's purchased snacks. It's a wide array of food items that make it to the common desk. There are some weeks when…

It's hard to believe that someone who can belt out melodious music like a diva, can also unleash music with attitude. That's Shania Twain singing That Don't Impress Me Much https://youtu.be/mqFLXayD6e8 The animal print outfit and boots with the cool video have attitude written all over it! The lyrics are sharp and often brutal. The video itself is so dismissive to the guys who are trying to impress her. It's fun though! Listen to it and tell me I'm wrong!

When lightning strikes quietly. At midnight, we had a very quiet show by lightning outside our bedroom window. It was fascinating because there was no thunder - so this was probably far away. There was lightning flashes that made the hill silhouette look eerie followed by the occasional lightning bolts and streaks. I found it difficult to capture the streaks and the silhouetted hill on my mobile phone, but here is an attempt. If you're a photographer, could you let me know…

JungleTV is getting busy again. During the last week or two,there were long periods when the queue was empty and, often, less than 100 folks watching with periods of silence in the chatroom. But look today - more than 2 hours of videos lined up and most are music videos which are less than 5 min. That makes earning faster. Get in and enjoy the music and the company. And earn some banano while you're at it!!

How colorful is the currency in your country? I was looking into my wallet and was thrilled to notice that I had currency notes in almost all common denominations. Indian currency keeps changing frequently and we've ended up with a colorful spectrum of currency notes. It's a bit confusing as newer notes are a different color, especially in the last few years after the demonetizatuon debacle that we all went through. I have to look at every note before I give it away, just to…

Love & Latte, Solido Merlot. Coffee makers try to catch your attention with fancy names for their companies and for the beans they sell. Today, I seem to have landed myself a very exotic coffee by the sounds of it! "Love & Latte" adds a romantic touch. Who would have thought that coffee could spur romance? Maybe it has to do with the fact that I wake up my wife with a cup of coffee every morning. I wonder if she enjoys the morning coffee better than my morning kiss! Solido…

I had posted many weeks ago that my table rose plants were getting gnawed and eaten by squirrels. It was disappointing to see them broken and in pieces. I had put in some spikes to prevent them from getting eaten. They worked partially. Finally, one of them grew a long branch and popped out 2 beautiful flowers this morning. I'm sure they're feeling victorious. It's been quite a struggle and the pot still has half eaten stems and leaves that are a constant reminder of the…

My rose plant in my balcony died this month. It was struggling to survive in its pot over the last few months and I wasn't the best friend it had. My mom tried her best when I was away at work. She'd try to add nutrients, egg shells and water it. I tried pruning it and watering it judiciously. But it was too old and it needed better care. This photo is from its glorious days 3 years ago. This photo showed up in my Google Photos memories. You can see multiple bloomed roses…

Who makes spelling mistakes? Bots or humans? And is a spelling mistake on a CAPTCHA an attempt to catch out a bot? I still don't have the answers to these intriguing queries. But on this CAPTCHA, I could look past the spelling error and click the right image to go on. PS: This CAPTCHA is from cointiply and they got the spelling wrong for medicine for their entire CAPTCHA. So you'll see this CAPTCHA often.

When I unlock the wallet and try to get them in, it states 'loading' or 'generating proof of work' and does not get processed. Once in a while one of the pending deposits makes it in, but it is not regular and variable. Any idea what I can do about it? Since the funds are there…

Great Ball Of Fire! The sun is a giant ball of fire - some nuclear reaction and physics stuff inside it that makes it burn brightly for millions of years. And on a hot day, that ball of fire is obvious! Like today. The sun climbed into the sky quite early and heated up everything it touched with its infrared waves and what not! Too much physics to start the weekend.

After all the glitches with Banano Vault, we saw JungleTV going through a lull with large gaps in the queue and periods of silence in the chatroom.

That must have been over 10000 Ban distributed. Biggest jackpot in recent times. Did you catch it?

A song of hope and strength for your Sunday. Skillet is a Christian Rock band, but they also have some amazing acoustic numbers and ballads that are musically brilliant. https://youtu.be/0jHaPYX0EPw "Anchor" is one such song that serves as a song of hope and strength when you are going through troubled times. This is the lyrics video. I love the song both musically and lyrically. John Cooper's voice has been superb - almost 20 years and still going strong!

New auto and manual faucet with short links and PTCs. I have been paid within a few minutes. Less than 2 days old and less than 100 members.

What do you drink water out of? And does that affect the taste of the water? There are so many options! A stainless steel tumbler, a glass, a plastic cup or a ceramic cup. I usually use a steel tumbler. They are probably the most robust and can take years of beating. They barely alter the taste, but may leave a slightly metallic feel in your lips. Glass is probably the most neutral and does not alter the taste of the water at all, but is too fragile to use daily. Same with…

We had thunderstorms overnight with heavy bursts of rain. So it's not surprising that the morning is overcast with plenty of clouds. There are some pretty cloud designs and shapes too. As usual, the sun is playing hide and seek. It warmer than I expected after a cool night. I like the way the weather is seesawing between hot, sunny and cool, rainy. This is quite normal in September. The rains usually stop in October and after that it's usually consistently cooler.

The mark of the beast - how evil are my subscribers??! I just noticed that I have exactly 666 subscribers. Biblically, 666 is the mark of the beast and is used in the real world to denote evil (remember the movie OMEN). Have I made my subscribers evil or have my subscribers made me evil? As the saying goes, the devil is in the details! Anyway, this is a milestone I'd like to get past uneventfully and without any ill effects! Let's see how long I stay on this number.

This week's special on RollerCoin is 2x block rewards for RLT. This is an excellent opportunity to earn some RLT which you can use to buy some miners to increase earnings. I don't see RollerCoin as an instant earning site, but a site where you invest time in building a mining rig virtually and then use this ater to make steady earnings. Since I don't eant to invest actual money, offers like this help a lot. Use the Split Power option to maximise the RLT earnings. #Rollercoin

Does the sun have a choice? It cannot choose it's path or trajectory. It just follows the path predestined by the laws of physics. Actually, it stays still while the earth spins and moves to set it's path. Today, if it had a choice, would it move beneath the dark clouds on the right or choose to shine through the clear blue path on the left? I wonder what it would choose? What would you want it to choose?
@a2j
The sun rises with expectations of a clear blue sky that it can shine into the world from. But sometimes all it can do is disappear into dark clouds after it has had a chance to peek at earth. That's what it looked like this morning, but by mid day it's turned out to be a hot day with floating clouds and no rains.

Hardcore action and visual effects with Tome Cruise taking centre stage. That's Mission Impossible.

The craters of the moon! Finally I pulled out my old DSLR after my phone failed to zoom in on the moon. It was a full moon and the sky was reasonably clear. This is a trial shot and I stopped trying after 15 minutes as it was dark on the balcony and the moon was rising higher. The camera could capture the craters and some features of the moon fairly clearly even though it was not in good focus. Next time I'll give it a better shot.

Canon Rock by FunTwo - the Jerry C versioj. https://youtu.be/2xjJXT0C0X4 This was an enigma in early 2000s. This was a time when youtubers were not very high tech.

The major change is their CAPTCHA system which is now completely bananas and different from any other CAPTCHA I have ever seen.

Lunchtime for Mr. squirrel. We had lots of squirrels in this tree-filled part of the campus. I was walking around at lunchtime and this squirrel was reminding me of how hungry I was or should be. It wasn't a quiet eater and the little squeaks as it was enjoying it's lunch was quite nice. I could also hear the cracking sound as the nut was being devoured. I wonder where it picked up it's lunch!

"Repurposed to enhance your surroundings" I've mentioned in the past that our apartment campus has a coordinator who comes with fun ideas to make our campus unique and beautiful. This repurposed 'bench' is an example. Some blocks of concrete, some large rocks, logs of wood, coir rope and it's all put together to make this quaint sitting nook in a corner. May not be the most comfortable seat, but will make a great place for a little photoshoot!

Nature is unique. This hairy caterpillar has a temporary life, but it does it's best to protect itself and survive from its predators with its itchy and scratchy hair. It lives dangerously but doesn't seem stressed. Here it has just pooped and smeared it's poop on the plant as it slowly eats and moves. Shot on my Samsung M31S and edited in Google Photos.

Expect JungleTV to turn the CAPTCHA world uoside down. I have never seen this CAPTCHA anywhere else - looks like it's unique and made by the banano world for JungleTV. It's easy to solve, but you need to solve 4 in a row to get past and continue watching the videos. The problem in a laptop is that the size of the CAPTCHAs are weird and I need to scroll to see all 4. This screenshot is on my mobile.

Hatrick! Finally the IPL saw a hatrick - 3 wickets in a row for Harshal Patel. It's exciting to see things like this live! Pollard, Pandya and Chahar went back to the dugout one after the other in 3 different fashions - caught, bowled and LBW. And now MI are collapsing and RCB on the way to victory. He also took the last wicket and MI were all out at the triple Nelson score of 111!

A different way of showing the weather. We're in my in-laws place which is a cool hillstation. In the morning we get mist, dew and lots of water condensation. Here is dew condensation on my car roof and rear windscreen to make you 'feel' the cold. The place I live in is hot and we rarely see dew even in the cooler mornings. This is a pleasant way to start the day.

The cycle of life. This purple flower plant (I wish I knew what it's name is) has prolific flowers. When you look at it, you find flowers in all stages of their existence in the same plant at the same time - starting with the bud and going on to open, become colorful, spread out and bloom completely to show all its brilliance. After its life is done in a day or two, it starts fading, withering, shrivelling up before becoming dark, lifeless and drying up and falling to the…

What is the weirdest thing you've seen in toothpaste? For a couple of years now, charcoal seems to be popular in toothpastes. This particular toothpaste by Colgate claims to deep clean with the charcoal! The toothpaste is white in color with some black streaks. So it is not black toothpaste. I wonder how this works. Maybe it's from the prehistoric days when humans or animals used natural things or whatever was available to brush their teeth!

Cloudy with a chance of rainfall. That seems to be standard September weather in this hilly region. We went cycling andndriving around the lane and this was the standard weather we saw. It drizzled intermittently the whole afternoon, but it was not heavy.

Is RollerCoin down or having a glitch. None of the flash games load and even their homepage does not load. Here is the screenshot. I'm on Brave with shields down as usual. I've sent a message to them. #Rollercoin

Flowers have such delicate petals and intricate designs. And to top it all, this little insect found a way of balancing itself perfectly on a thin delicate petal! I wonder if it ever fell off and learnt a lesson - or maybe nature allows these things to exist in a state of perfect balance that can defy the laws of physics!

It takes true guts to have the ability to make a parody of your own self and have fun. That's what these folks from Kerala, India have done. https://youtu.be/Qo4m-RzO6KI This is a musical copy of Land Down Under, which by itself is an excellent parody of Aussie culture. Enjoy the little quirks and fun elements in this song and the great accent that is unique to Kerala.

We returned from a truncated holiday and those 4 days saw one of the table roses in our balcony destroyed by infestation. Thankfully, this other little plant in a recycled container did better and had 4 or 5 beautiful yellow flowers ready for us! Inspiring to see it survive against the odds.

Dead or alive? This tree, with barely a leaf on its branches, stands proudly in a swampy region next to a lake and surrounded by greenery. It's rainy season. I wonder if it is hibernating or dead. I know some trees shed leaves during the colder seasons. It's barely September and will get colder only by December. I'd love to go to the same spot every month and take a photo of this tree every month to see if it changes and becomes green again!
