Suggestion to @pyconindia -- thicker badge holes next time, for the more aggressive speakers 🙂

I filed my first #police complaint this year -- against Vinod and Gaurav.
It started when we decided to sell our furniture before moving to Singapore. We listed them on OLX and the calls flowed in.

I was surprised to see a big chunk of my #music library is from the 1960s -- thanks to the songs my parents grew up with, and passed on to me.
