One of the most incredible magic effects I’ve ever experienced is when a playing card transforms visibly! Fortunately, I got the opportunity to learn this trick rather young. Here’s my updated presentation for this classic mind-boggling magic: youtu.be/RSovE536xDc Like & Subscribe, won’t you?

Donald Trump just unilaterally bombed Iran. A masked gang is terrorizing our streets. America has rapidly devolved into an authoritarian state. That's why, today, The Onion has purchased a full page ad in today's New York Times with a simple plea to Congress: Sit back and do absolutely nothing.

An Onion front page with the headline: Congress, Now More Than Ever, Our Nation Needs Your Cowardice

Who will stand up for our democracy? This
question, fraught in even the most peaceful
times, has only grown more pressing as our
country approaches its 250th anniversary.
Each passing day brings growing assaults on
essential liberties like freedom of speech and due process.
Meanwhile, our delicately assembled legal system faces
a constant barrage of threats. Even as this issue reaches
publication, the U.S. military has been deployed against
peaceful protesters. We teeter on the brink of collapse into
an authoritarian state. That is why, today, The Onion calls
upon our lawmakers to sit back and do absolutely nothing.
Members of Congress, now more than ever, our nation
desperately needs your cowardice.
Our republic is a birthright, an exceedingly rare treasure
passed down from generation to generation of Americans. It
was gained through hard years of bloody resistance and can
too easily be lost. Our Founding Fathers, in their abundant
wisdom, understood that all it would take was men and
women of little courage sitting in the corridors of power
and taking zero action as this precious inheritance was
stripped away—and that is where we have finally arrived.
Now is not the time for bravery or valor! This is the time
for protecting your own hide and lining your pocket. Now is
not the time for listening to your idiotic constituents drone
on about what’s happening to their precious democracy.
This is the time for getting down on all fours and grov-
eling. Now is not the time to say, “Enough is enough,” and
have the tough conversations about resisting the ongoing
assaults on American liberty. This is the time to let the wave
of apathy and indifference roll over you as you think about
getting a really nice renovation to your house in Kalorama.
But what can I, one coward, do alone? you might ask.

It was like everyone and their dog were playing basketball. (Sorry! Couldn’t resist the pun.)

A group of children and a few adults engage in a casual basketball game on an outdoor court with red and blue flooring. One man holds a yellow basketball while talking to a young boy, as others interact and walk around. Trees, benches, and a residential building with water tanks are visible in the background, along with a dog standing near the second basketball hoop.

Super proud of the way the kiddos, Inesh and Ishaan (aka The Amazing iTwins), have taken to performing magic. Loving the way they have begun to own and engage their audiences. A huge shout out to @attagalatta.bsky.social, especially Subodh and team, for their incessant encouragement and support.

A young performer (Ishaan Shenoy of the Amazing iTwins) in a blue denim outfit stands on stage holding a sheet of paper and pointing toward the audience. He appears to be mid-performance in a magic or speaking act, with props placed on black and red tables nearby. The audience sits attentively in brown plastic chairs, facing the stage. The backdrop features grey curtains and a simple, modern stage setting.

A young magician (Inesh Shenoy of the Amazing iTwins) performs on stage holding two metal rings in front of a microphone, likely demonstrating the classic linking rings trick. He wears a light denim vest, olive pants, and red-white sneakers. The stage has grey curtains and two small tables on either side, with a top hat prop on the left. Audience members seated in brown chairs observe attentively.

Since Govt has made Aadhaar mandatory for sports events across India, I grudgingly updated the kiddos’ photos and biometrics. I promptly locked their biometrics as soon as the cards got updated. Locking is easy and instant via the phone browser, but weirdly doesn’t work if tried via the desktop.

Quite a neat capture while I was busy addressing a group of executives about the power of the mind.

A man in a black suit (me) gestures expressively while speaking to an audience in a formal event setting. He is standing near large wooden doors in a spacious, carpeted conference room with ornate purple and gold patterns. Seated attendees at round tables with white tablecloths watch him attentively, and a tall speaker system is positioned to the right of the stage area.

Found some Manjutti aka Dodda Gulagunji aka Red Bead seeds (biological name: Adenanthera Pavonina) growing aplenty at a friend’s resort in Kochi. Came back with more than enough to play some games on the hitherto unused Mancala board that we bought when the kiddos were small.

A traditional wooden board game set, likely a variation of Mancala or Pallanguzhi, placed on a patterned carpet. The board consists of two rows of seven carved circular pits, each containing several red seeds or beads.
