# .plan-26-01: Easing into the new year with reading, temples and mosquitos *2026-01-04 — note* After an amazingly fun trip to Udaipur and lots of family chitchat, we got over to Vijayawada and then Hyderabad, while visiting family temples and villages en route.
The mosquitos got me good

I wrote my reading list in my [happy new year 2026 post](https://anil.recoil.org/notes/hny2026). And just to hit the ground running, [Frank Feng](https://www.cst.cam.ac.uk/people/zf281) and I got the TESSERA embeddings for 2025 kicked off on the second day of the new year, since all the Sentinel-1/2 data was ready for us to generate the annualised embeddings. Looking forward to the new year. If 2025 is anything to go by, 2026 is going to be a wild ride with AI developments... Synopsis: Family travels through Udaipur, Vijayawada and Hyderabad, visiting temples and villages, plus kicking off the TESSERA 2025 embeddings.
