I am always surprised by the number of typos in e-books. One would think a digital format would be better suited for revisions. Doesn’t appear to be so. Is it really that difficult to roll out an update for the digital copy? Or is it to make sure it’s consistent with the print?

Even after so many travels, every imminent one makes me nervous even now. And am sure it is not about the actual travel, but all the packing and unpacking and being ready” that unsettles me 😬

This week was an interesting one. Not much productive, but then just productive enough. What I am focused on now is more from the last week and some from the week before. An update.

This lone lamppost always befuddles me — I can never decide whether to be saddened by its loneliness or be pleased to see it still stand strong.

Micro Monday: @eli. His stream is full of interesting posts and snaps. And some delightful conversations on varied topics. You will surely find something that interests you.

They say the world online is spoilt, spiteful. It’s all rage, and slander. All one utters of others online is vile. I did believe so too.

And then I read people’s Micro Monday recommendations at Micro.blog. This place’s like a calming oasis, surrounded by a dull, rough desert.

So I wasn’t too off on Oscars predictions. We can kind of guess which movies will win the big awards. I wish Dunkirk had won some, but I guess movies I like the most are never Oscar material.

Anyway, I will follow my every year’s Oscar ritual. Start watching all winners again.

So the Oscars are almost here. And I’ve got a feeling that it will be The Shape of Water, Darkest Hour and Get Out that will win big.

Dunkirk has some top nominations, but I doubt if it has a chance at Oscars, especially with its multiple-timeline split narrative.
