COVID-19 Lockdown

It is May 11th 2020 and most of India has been under lockdown for 46 straight days. These have been tough times for everyone. While some of the folks i know have been cribbing about being bored to death in this lockdown, for me it has been a busy time. My current field of work which is "Cloud Technology" picked up as everyone was locked up with nothing but technology to entertain and survive and hence there was a lot of work.

#Albufeira is a small town just 3h from Lisbon. This was our first stop of the trip. This place is absolutely beautiful. Since we went there during not so crowded time it was even more enjoyable !!

Sintra is a small town just 30 mins from Lisbon. Sintra is a very popular tourist destination, as a result, is usually very busy, so plan your trip accordingly. Jerónimos Monastery in Lisbon. We did not get a chance to see the inside of the monastery since all the monuments are closed on Monday in Lisbon. Torre De Bellém National Sanctuary of Christ the King. This was such a surprise, we went there on 1st January trying our luck as all the monuments were closed on 1st of Jan, but to our surprise, we found this place open and we got a chance to go at the top of the statute.
It was a great experience to talk to a huge audience in Mumbai and Delhi about how to start your ML journey at Google Cloud Summit ’18 India
