Hello World, Love Sony!

I am having a bout of Blank Page Syndrome now as I sit here staring at an empty screen. 😶 How did I get past the ‘Hello World’ stage when I started learning to code? Maybe, I can start with an obligatory “about me” post. That way, you can get to know a little more about the Sony behind “Sony Unplugged”.

What is Sony?

That is my name. And yes, you can pronounce just like that Japanese company name. I was born in India and then royally exported to the UK for my IT brain. Here is an interesting fact: I was born in one God’s Own Country – Kerala, India. And now I live in another God’s Own Country – Yorkshire, England. How cool is that!🤠

I am pursuing a management career in IT. But truth be told, I would rather be designing and creating websites and web applications. 👩🏻‍💻 Someday I would love to make a full-time career out of my Full Stack Web Developer skills, G❤︎d willing.

I was born in a Christian family and with an insatiable curiosity. So I consider myself an aspiring Christian⛪️ in spite of the myriad of mind-boggling questions I have. So would it be a cliche if I said I was “Spiritual, Not Religious“?

I am a self-proclaimed Globetrotter. ✈️ My bragging rights include my travel to over 30 countries across 6 continents. I also enjoy long drives with my better half, Logan. While he does most of the driving, I enjoy the great music and watch the landscapes float by.

When it comes to leisurely pursuits, crime thrillers and police/legal dramas are my usual pastimes. I can easily lose myself in a whodunnit book or spend an entire weekend binge-watching a crime thriller TV series. 📺 My other pastimes include Philately and Pocket Style Scrapbooking.

Why Unplugged?

This is a shoutout to the 1990s TV show – MTV Unplugged. The word Unplugged has now come to indicate something presented in a more low-key and intimate context. So what better name to represent a blog where I share my unpretentious experiments and experiences in life!

My life isn’t perfect or complete. I am navigating through my life to become a better version of myself. And you can be my passenger and read all about my adventures and misadventures here in this blog.

What Else?

This blog has no rules. So no posting schedules, no spell checking, no SEO promotions. Just random uncensored scribbles about my aspirations and adventures. I may upset a few grammar nazis, English teachers and social marketers. But I am hoping to make some blogger buddies here in my little internet abode.
