Bike Log 12.12.15 - Did  ~32 miles. Went a bit to Palo Alto and then to Los Gatos downtown via Hwy 9.  Last Bike ride for 2015. Next Update in 2016. The date most likely will be March 19, 2016.  Enjoy your holidays!

Bike Log 12.6.15:  Woke up at 4:30 am. Normally I go for hiking but since it was going to rain, mentally, I had decided to skip today (also my left leg is sprained a bit). So, I decided to measure and fix my bike path.  I took the car and started driving at 5:30 am (beautiful). The path is now fixed. It is 52.2 miles (verified). I will publish the route with a map next week.

Completed the first phase  (five or more 30+ miles before holidays). One more weekend to go :-)  The first phase of the goal is completed. I will do 1 more 50+ mile trial run in Jan and then set the date :-).

Next Weekend, I will change a course a bit and bike to Monte Sereno / Los Gatos via Saratoga (instead of Foothill Expressway).

Bike log 12.5.15: Finished 52+ miles in 4 hrs 25 min. The picture is just when I was starting around 6:50 am. Have a good day!!


 Bike log 11.29.15: Biked 46 miles - sand hill road, Stanford, Foothill Expwy, Saratoga downtown (near Hwy 9) and back home via Cox avenue with 1 break after 35 miles with decent gas left for biking.  Started biking at 6:45 am .. it was cold/freezing ...but felt good.

Bike log 11.21.15: Finished 34 miles. Wanted to do a speedy one ... I could move from 12 m/h to 15.  Four 30+ done ...one more left. Thanks for your support!

Bike log 11.14.15:  Finished biking alone .., Almost did 42 miles in close to 4 hrs
Goal is within reach. Yesterday (11.13.15) evening ... did 18 miles with Rudra and then dinner
Keeping u updated. Looks like all of you had a fun evening ....

 

Bike Log 11.8.15: Started biking at 6 am  with Rudra .. Went to foot hill and sand hill road and then to el Camino ... Page mill and back to foothill. My rear tire jammed up at Atascadero :-(  Tikli is picking up.

Bike log 10.31.15: Finished 34 miles in 2.5 hrs. Goal: >= 5 30 miles before holidays (hopefully both you remember it). Finished 2, 3 more to go ...Keeping you updated ..

Bike log 10.24.15: Finished 30 mile ride.  Goal is to do at least 3, 50+ mile bike ride before Maa’s 1st anniversary.  To achieve this goal, I am looking to get your inspirational support (and also kick my bxxx if I am not making progress) .. so both of you (Tikli & Simi)   are going to be my  inspirational coaches. Thanks for agreeing :-)   If I achieve my  my goal .. in return my Dakshina will be to treat you in Michelin star restaurant (or your choice).  So .. my goal is to do at least 5 or more 30+ miles rides before holidays. Thanks!

Bike log 10.10.15: Simi told me about the Los Altos Redwoods Park (near El Monte)  and so I decided to go there .  It was a 25 miles bike ride. The park was closed but worth visiting again once the remodeling is done. However, I found the ride in Foothill expressway very nice!

Retirement Journey

Retirement Journey At age 58, I decided to retire after working 32+ years in computer technology, all in the Bay Area, CA. I am sharing my retirement decision journey and some experiences from the last two years of post-retirement life. You have to look for answers yourself. The 3 BIG Questions I Needed to Answer (for Retirement Decision): Why should I retire or not retire? Do I have the financial capability to retire? How will I spend my time? There may be many other questions, but let's start with these key questions. I will share my thoughts. You have to think about yourself. Why Should I Retire? In November 2022, I convinced the company to lay me off with a package instead of someone else. I initially decided to take six months off and then consider the next steps. In January, I came across this article, " Would You Trade Places with Warren Buffett? " I read the article but did not spend much time thinking about it. Thinking about the next step, I d...

A Pilgrimage - Walking on Camino Frances

The Beginning of a Calling Almost a decade ago, I stumbled into the world of Paulo Coelho, beginning with The Alchemist . His words struck a chord—an elegant blend of spirituality, self-discovery, and emotion that felt both intimate and universal. One book led to another, until I had read nearly all of his works. Even today, when I find myself restless and searching for my next read, I return to Coelho—or sometimes to Herman Hesse’s Siddhartha —as if to steady myself. Among his books, The Pilgrimage left a lasting imprint. In it, Coelho recounts his walk along the Camino Francés to Santiago de Compostela, a journey of endurance, faith, and reflection. I could almost see myself there, step by step, breathing in the silence of old paths. Some time later, I watched The Way , the film where Martin Sheen walks the Camino to complete the journey his son could not. That story deepened the pull. The idea of a pilgrimage was no longer just in books or films—it began to live inside me. Since...

Consciousness ---------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer : I am neither a spiritual Guru who has meditated on consciousness for years nor a neuroscientist or psychologist who has studied this topic and thought about it deeply. My goal was to write to clarify my thoughts for my own sake based on reading books and articles and listening to lectures and texts from spiritual masters and scientists over the last few months. This article is dedicated to my Uncle Late Saroj Behera. He was interested in this topic during his last years and also got me interested. We had many discussions during my visits to Arizona. I was mostly listening and learning from him.  —---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PDF Version of the article What is Consciousness? Consciousness is first and foremost a subjective experience. It is a first-person experience, e.g., Why do I feel Happy? Why...
