Finished the KodeKloud course by Mumshad on AI infrastructure.
Now / Then
A snapshot of what I'm currently focused on, thinking about, and working towards.
Started weight training.
Currently going every alternate day and following a full body split.
I am doing the following exercises -
- Inclined dumbbell chest press
- Goblet squat
- Pull ups
- Dumbbell Romanian Dead Lift
- Cable Row
- Lateral Raise (Seated)
- Bicep curl + tricep extensions
I will move from dumbbells to bars when I am comfortable with the weights.
Getting reacquainted with k8s and microservices. The goal is CKA at the end of this. Targeting this exam some time in April, perhaps the last week.

I am following the kubestronaut path on KodeKloud for this now.
I will give KCNA first and then KCA. We will see where we go after this.
Savya is my child. He is going to päiväkoti now. Raising him continues to be the best thing in my life.

Savya calls all animals dogs.
After the Barcelona trip (or rather during the trip ), he has started to do two new things - asking to get his photos clicked and asking for rhymes to be sung to him when he goes to sleep. When he was smaller I had tried the Nindiya Re song with him, it hadn’t really stuck earlier. Now it has. Now he says, “haule haule”, when he wants me to sing it.
2026-03-05 07:06 - Savya is at the age now, where he wants to speak so many things, but just doesn’t have the vocabulary to do so. Whenever he passes the photo fall, he starts pointing and naming his grandpa, bua, mom, dad and so on. He calls me papa first, and then if I don’t respond after 3-4 times, he will say - saja, saja, and so on.
2026-06-13 19:40 - The thing that Savya is in now is walking his own pram. Wrote about it in What Savya Wants.
I can touch the ground in the forward bend while doing surya-namaskar, fairly easily now. It does not happen in one smooth motion still. There is still a long way to go. I wrote about the goal with yoga . I continue to work toward that goal.
