Life tip: If you drop your loved ones at railway station, never wait at the platform till the train leaves.
Found a robin-sized bird that was chiseling a hole in a tree by the roadside, almost indistinguishable from the tree. Asked @manoj@aana.site what bird it is half sure that there's no way to identify it from that description.
Got this whole story as the answer

Due to my move to Delhi-NCR region for job purposes, have become a frequent traveler of Metro rail. Long travel times in Metro has given me the opportunity to see the life in Metro. Shared some thoughts on it there - https://blog.sahilister.in/2022/09/metro-and-city-intersection/

OMG! I just realised when manually entering this username that @roadscholarz@mstdn.social is not a group of Rhodes scholarship recipients. Ha ha.
Che, I should have set this up using gotosocial.org. It seems like it has compatibility with mastodon APIs.
It is funny, people with 36K followers on twitter are "putting their feet down" and moving to mastodon. And the next thing they do, they're on twitter saying "the first 1000 mastodon followers get an automatic follow back from me". I'm like, dude, this is mastodon. You'll probably have 200 followers forever.
Enjoyed watching this talk: "A Hipster History of CORS" by Devdatta Akhawe (Strange Loop 2022)
Trying this out because mastodon.technology/@akshay is shutting down.
