It’s about 2 hours from SF. I stopped at Della Fattoria Downtown Café for breakfast. It’s a beautiful cafe. The vibe is fun and the coffee is out of the world. I haven’t seen such beautiful latte art. https://yasharma.com/blog/walk/ Sat, 08 Nov 2025 13:36:56 -0800 https://yasharma.com/blog/walk/ One rainy Sunday I just decided to take a long walk in the city. I imagined I would walk for a couple of hours but it became a full day adventure. The weather was pleasant, it was misty with a breeze. https://yasharma.com/blog/istanbul/ Thu, 31 Oct 2024 12:02:22 +0300 https://yasharma.com/blog/istanbul/ Day 0 I couldn’t sleep at night, thanks jet lag! So, I decided to go get something to eat at 3 am and my neighborhood bakery was open. It’s 24*7 and highly rated. The bakery is tiny with lots of outdoor seating on both sides of the street. https://yasharma.com/blog/maine/ Fri, 25 Oct 2024 17:48:27 -0400 https://yasharma.com/blog/maine/ It’s 7 am and we’re driving towards the national park to see the Cadillac mountain. It’s the final spot on the itinerary. A friend invited me to this trip. We’re four guys, two of them I met the first time at the rental car center. https://yasharma.com/blog/sfo/ Fri, 04 Oct 2024 14:54:54 -0400 https://yasharma.com/blog/sfo/ This is my 6th time (or maybe it’s 7th, I am not certain) in San Francisco and everytime I come here, I have had feelings in the realm of: oh, this city could be a paradise but sadly it’s so far away from it. https://yasharma.com/blog/peru/ Wed, 11 Sep 2024 14:27:04 -0400 https://yasharma.com/blog/peru/ I am at the Lima airport waiting for my flight back to NYC. It’s been a fabulous 11 days in Peru. I don’t think I got to see a whole lot of places but I did have a fantastic time and I made a bunch of friends. https://yasharma.com/blog/cities/ Sun, 25 Aug 2024 19:59:11 -0400 https://yasharma.com/blog/cities/ Cities shape us in profound ways, often more than we realize. I am sure you have heard of the quote that you’re the average of 5 people around you. I can’t say how true that is but I can say that the basic idea makes sense. https://yasharma.com/blog/newyork/ Sat, 13 Apr 2024 14:18:02 -0400 https://yasharma.com/blog/newyork/ The view never gets old New York City is fascinating, social, lively and welcoming to say the least. It’s got so much happening everywhere. There are bars, cafes, restaurants and other public places, and all of them are full of people. https://yasharma.com/blog/rainier/ Sun, 10 Sep 2023 13:01:14 -0400 https://yasharma.com/blog/rainier/ Intro I summited Mount Rainier in August 2023, specifically 9-12 August. I started training way too early on November ‘22. Felt like the more I train the more I’d enjoy the trip. You know things are way more enjoyable when you’re not dying.
