Suddenly I’ve some amazing clarity about what I most want to do professionally this year. Don’t know why but am putting them here – perhaps to look back and reflect; perhaps to get some discipline; perhaps!
Alright, the first thing I want is the HP Circle Award for a submission I made recently. This is in [...]

I was at the gym and was getting irritated with this obnoxious trainer – for lack of customer service and in fact being arrogant. Cut back a few hours and I was getting irritated with things at work; people at work. Huh. Getting irritated with everyone; a gym trainer of all people, imagine! 
And then I thought. [...]

I won’t talk about the recent shameful and dreadful terror attack on Mumbai per se – but on what to do next. My thoughts on how to fight this menace; not that I’m an expert… but just my two cents I guess.
We can’t hope for situations like this to get addressed by mere rhetoric or [...]

It’s been 6 years that you’re gone but the memories just keep getting more vivid. Everything I do, everything that happens reminds me of you in some way or the other. I’m trying to become what you wanted me to… I know you’re there helping me out… Always be!
Love you Papa

The love/affection is one sided – the woman either does not reciprocate, or may even abhor you/the whole idea. Still want to marry her? Easy! Just rape her. Yes, you read it right – rape her.
At least that’s what the Orissa High Court has proclaimed (not verbatim of course; as an ‘in-effect’ interpretation). Catch the [...]

Or does it have any? I don’t have too much data around it but at least my perception is that India is not at all serious about the Olympics. We’re still plagued with mediocrity and politics (wonder what’s this Monika Devi doping case all about). Seems like we’re comfortable with being at the bottom of [...]

Reacting to the story of Mehtas who want to abort their 6 month old foetus because the baby will be born with a terminal illness. More details here.
I’m not arguing for the Mehtas’, neither against them. A lot of debate is already happening on how ethical it is, should the abortion laws change, etc etc. [...]

Watching a sport on TV is like watching pornography. It’s not the real thing. Now come on, I’m not suggesting that watching  a sport can ever equal ‘playing it’ (or did you read ‘doing it’!), but I think it’s much better than seeing it on TV. Even though you don’t get such a good view [...]

Oh yeah I am and I feel like kicking myself. For months now I’ve been thinking of an idea to link up the stock market with social networking. I mean using the “wisdom of crowds” to decide which stock to pick. After all don’t we follow tips given by analysts and friends!
Good idea, yeah… but the [...]

Well yes, it is. It conveys so many different things to different people. For example, the graphic that I have as the header of my blog (as on May 14, 2008) is a picture of me smoking a hookah. I put it up because I thought it was cool. But today someone told me the picture ought [...]
