Now I have decided to relax my rule a bit for personal reasons.</p> <p>Still I will always be a blogger at heart.</p> https://raveenkumar.com/posts/2025-10-23-new-city-new-me/ Thu, 23 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://raveenkumar.com/posts/2025-10-23-new-city-new-me/ <p>It&rsquo;s been a while since I last wrote. Time for an update.</p> <p>I landed a job at Qualcomm Bangalore after an unexpected turn of events. I&rsquo;m grateful for the opportunity.</p> <p>I&rsquo;m still adjusting to the city and life here. Some challenges I anticipated haven&rsquo;t been so difficult, while other things I expected to be easy have proven harder.</p> <p>I&rsquo;ve learned a lot and forgotten much in the process.</p> <p>Chennai will always be my home. For now, I&rsquo;ll make it here.</p> https://raveenkumar.com/posts/2025-10-23-sticky-notes/ Thu, 23 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://raveenkumar.com/posts/2025-10-23-sticky-notes/ <p>Use it. It&rsquo;s an amazing invention.</p> https://raveenkumar.com/posts/2025-04-09-cantwont-use-social-media-anymore/ Wed, 09 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://raveenkumar.com/posts/2025-04-09-cantwont-use-social-media-anymore/ <p>I don&rsquo;t know why but after using social media alternatives it&rsquo;s hard for me to go back to it. Mainly websites like Reddit, LinkedIn, Instagram, X, etc., make me feel nauseous. After using BearBlog for about 3-4 years, I fell like I am fond of simple sites that focus on delivering the content to the users as simple as possible basically KISS Philosophy.</p> <p>The only other Social Media that I use now is Discord and WhatsApp, it is pretty straightforward chat application with community focus. Once I find alternative to them I will leave those too.</p> https://raveenkumar.com/library/my-interests-and-hobbies/ Sat, 18 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0000 https://raveenkumar.com/library/my-interests-and-hobbies/ <ul> <li>Hobbies <ul> <li>Writing, Journaling</li> <li>Writing this website</li> <li>Editing dotfiles</li> <li>Colouring</li> <li>Haiku Poetry</li> <li>YoYoing</li> <li>Video Games</li> <li>Creating memes ;)</li> </ul> </li> <li>Activities that i currently enjoy <ul> <li>Sleep :)</li> <li>Writing this website :)</li> <li>Meditation</li> <li>Fitness and Sports Although I suck at being fit.
