Explorations
I spent some time exploring MCP in the context of the recent news cycle. When I had last seen MCP; it felt more like an API to me for agentic workflows which was fair but not accurate representation of it’s capabilities. Now, I see it more like a plugin ecosystem for agents. I also feel by hosting MCP servers or internally exposing MCP servers enterprises can easily integrate their valuable data to powerful agentic workflow apps while still maintaining privacy and confidentiality.
Family & Friends
This was the first week of Ibhan’s summer vacation. He was counting backwards for the last two weeks now and has been really looking forward to indulging in playtime with his friends. I have been slowly nudging him towards learning to touch type and also practice spellings for sight words which he learned over the last year. I have also been taking him down for practicing cricket at the nets in the night. Truly, I have also been looking forward to his summer vacations as much as him :)
Last Friday, we also applied for Schengen Visa. The paperwork and process has always been tedious but this time around the VFS website has also been acting up which delayed out appointment scheduling and final itinerary. We plan to visit my cousin in Poland for a week and then travel to Italy (Rome, Cinque Terre and Venice) for 12 days.
Workout
I kept up with the 15k steps/day momentum while stepping down on the resistance training to 3-4 days a week. Diet has largely been the same, but I do get few late night hunger pans because of the daily steps volume. Hoping that I would be able to tweak the meal timings to avoid it.
