I would like to present my findings from the tree census published by BBMP based on the survey of trees in Bengaluru. This is a first of its kind activity taking place in the city.

I am full stack engineer who removes drawers from work tables.

When I work from home, my work table is a 50-year-old antique. The only modification I made upon inheriting it is taking out the paper drawers to make more legroom. I build digital products to remove papers (and drawers) from offices and homes.
