Hello, I’m Bino

A software developer from India who loves to build, write, and explore. I spend my days with code, scribbling thoughts in the evening, and my heart wandering through stories and travels. This is my digital home, a place to share thoughts, memories, and little pieces of my journey.

More?

So, you wish to wander through these spaces — here, the path unfolds.

Maybe you're looking for more — quiet links leading to each corner of this wandering space.

I write both long-form essays and short notes exploring various aspects of web technology.

In the desk, I write reflections on everything I like. Also tiny musings in the drawer.

I share Malayalam poems, and short stories, and little musings — thoughts captured in words.

You might be looking for an archive of all posts, and I also have bunch of tiny personal projects which you can check here.

Curious about what inspires me and what I work with? Here is my library and tools — a collection I keep adding to over time.

More links? Check the tiny lanterns aka tags, now page to find what I doing now, or my travel tales.

Maybe some of my favorite writings.

Or some of my tiny poems.

Dolce far niente

I don’t want a thing
on Saturday mornings
just my favorite songs
playing low.

I don’t want to leave the bed,
just stay there,
holding you tightly,
all day long.

Let me sit cross legged,
tea in one hand,
and you in the other
sipping both,
slowly.

Hope

Baby, I am in love with the
sparks inside you.
Can I call it hope?

Maybe it’s you, or myself.
I’m not sure
maybe it’s both of us.

But I know it’s the
angel we dreamed of
for centuries.

Can we call it hope?

Curious how this website is built? Then here it is.

Built with a JAMstack architecture, the site uses Hugo as the static site generator and is hosted on Netlify. Its served securely via HTTPS, with a free SSL certificate provided by Let's Encrypt and automatically managed by Netlify for seamless delivery.

This site would not have been possible without the help of many open source tools and services, and I’m deeply grateful to all the contributors who have shared their work with the community.

And something more about this digital home.

I’m keeping track of all the changes here, newest first. This little log is a snapshot of how the site grows, evolves, and shifts with me. One day, it’ll remind me where I started, and how far I’ve come.

Yes, changelogs!

I find numbers help me understand my writing habits, so I added a few blog stats. Just a gentle nudge to keep going, even when the page feels blank. Sometimes, even a tiny metric feels like a pat on the back.

Mm, Stats!

This is my little corner of the web, where I share thoughts as they grow and change. They’re mine alone, shaped by curiosity and time. What I write today may shift tomorrow, and that’s part of the journey.

Disclaimer, huh?

Thank you!

Thank you to you, and to everyone who’s helped along the way. I’m deeply grateful for the love and kindness.

This space exists because of you.
