Chennai ☀️ A WORK-HARD-PLAY-HARD KIND OF WEEK IN A NEW CONTINENT 🇦🇺 I don't say that often aka never so it's quite thrilling tbh. I hopped from West #Australia to Sydney last weekend and I have been working with our Sydney team all week; learning a lot of devOps and colloborating which has been great! My brain was fried to a crisp by the end of the work week but thankfully our Aussie coworkers took us to explore some of the #Sydney beaches and the northern coast over the weekend - so nothing like locals taking you out to show their favorite places! It's been Another week here and I'm soaking it all in. Photo by my super awesome boss who's not only super smart and funny but also takes great photos of me without me asking. #instaboss goals anyone? 🤣🤗 #womenintech #girlswhocode Looming mountain ranges, dense rainforests, sandy white beaches, shimmering turquoise waters, and lovely (multi-ethnic) island people. This is #Mauritius #africa
I landed in Australia exactly a month ago from today and I spent the majority of last month working and traveling across this wonderful country, meeting its warm people and seeing some of its unparalleled nature and wildlife. It's the beginning of summer there (runs from December to March). Most of the country is typically hot and dry around this time and firestorms are not exactly uncommon. You have probably seen the news and posts. Fires that started in November in the state of New South Wales have spread to all six states, intensified and they are practically unstoppable now. The rural areas have been affected the most. It has not rained for a long time, there isn't enough water to douse the fires and not nearly enough firefighters. Nearly a billion animals have died in the blazes. [that's billion with a B] People have died, homes have been burnt and forests and ecosystems wiped out. It's a tragedy. Many people and communities have stepped up to volunteer with firefighting (skipping work) and helping the wildlife but my coworkers in Sydney tell me that there's nothing much you can humanly do to stop these fires. Either it rains or the fires burn until they run out of fuel or things to burn. Word's out that many areas had been forewarned about the fires and the govt didn't do much to thwart climate change or redirect people and funds in time to prevent all this. Even now, there's poor mismanagement of fire control and the people are pissed. In the midst of all this, the PM was taking a vacation in Hawaii last month. (smh) The sad news is conditions are not expected to improve unless it rains. If y'all can donate that would be great (I vouch for NSW Rural fire service @nswrfs. Some Aussie friends recommended this org) and Loveland for Wildlife in West Australia. The owner runs a kangaroo sanctuary rescuing orphaned and hurt kangaroos found on the roads of West Australia.  He has no support from the govt and not a great social media presence and he's been doing it for 16 years. With all the money redirected to fighting bush fires, every penny to protecting wildlife counts at this moment. (Link in profile) this video is from there. What can we do to help? 13 years ago, this guy asked me if he could sit next to me on a college bus. Fast forward many years in a blur, many countries, many homes, 3 (rascal) guinea pigs, 12 years of dating him, 4 years of rebelling against a rigid caste system, a dramatic turn of the tide, a ridiculously fun wedding with our fav people and nearly a year of being married to him. It's been a wild ride with my main squeeze Tfw when you have Chole Bhature for breakfast in #Mauritius w/o even trying and find Preethi mixies (blenders) on sale at the mall 🤣 Aka the most South Indian thing evaaa.
