    Lockdown, Day something. COVID had paused the planet. Time blurred into static. It was just me, Furby, and the fridge humming like it missed people, too. Silence Hits Harder Than Fear Outside, the world went silent. No cars. No laughter. No footsteps past the gate. Inside, the house echoed. The kids weren’t with me. They…

    Whew! Finally! The past couple of months have been incredibly challenging, but after some soul-searching and a few decisive steps, I can finally look forward to some proper rest. I officially tendered my resignation last week. The moment felt liberating, like a weight lifted off my shoulders. Now the weeks ahead are all about preparing…

    Gmail has finally opened to everyone. The era of invitation-only access is over, and just like that, one of the internet’s most coveted inboxes is now available to all. With about 60 million users, Gmail is already the third-largest email provider in the world. Its appeal is obvious: 2.8GB of storage (and growing), lightning-fast search,…

    January 31 marks the 119th death anniversary of Saint John Bosco—the “Father and Teacher of Youth” and founder of the Salesians of Don Bosco. For me, this is more than a date in history. It is a reminder of who I am and where I come from. I am, and always will be, a proud…
