Synopsis: Rajma Dal Toor Dal

The author channels his childhood experience of attending far too many big Indian weddings into an instructions manual to help later children with deciding what to eat at the buffet. What goes well with what, what doesn't go well with what, where the shorter queues are, which stalls have the cool cousins, which stalls have the annoying aunts, what the nutritional value of various items is, and, the most important question of them all, a method to calculate how much the host is paying per plate.

House Leads Automation

When 2 or more flatmates are looking for a place to stay, over multiple weekends, in multiple areas, without a broker, it becomes a little tricky to collaborate. The UI for most of these real estate portals is very poorly designed and slows you down further.

These scripts scrape relevant postings from 4 popular websites and keep it in a simple, easy to compare format on Google Sheets.

You can get the code, etc. here.

Synopsis: Jonathon, Stoned, Living with a Seagull

Jonathon has been doing marijuana and now thinks his flatmate is a seagull. The flatmate also used to do marijuana but has been experimenting with methamphetamine of late. Their problems see both of them expelled from their friend circles but they don't care because they can hallucinate up new friends.

The book chronicles their efforts to get higher, get more speed, how they meet a dealer who enables the first and supplies the second, and how they eventually become dealers themselves.
