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 [...]

Thank you for standing by my side through thick and thin. I’m not sure how good a son I’ve been but you’ve been a great mother. You’ve changed your way to align with mine, have ‘braved’ me often (and you know what I mean) and still never expected anything in return. Words may be all [...]

It didn’t take me more than a week to get what I wanted (check my previous article on this). I am on Wordpress now, and that too on my own domain. It really is a 5 minute installation. The customization took some time, and that too only because I’m sort of fussy about the finer [...]

In a recent seminar I attended, I discovered the concept of Unconferencing (lookup Kiruba Shanker on Google). This post is not meant for talking about unconferencing even though I’m very excited about this concept. It’s about something else…
I met an HP colleague at the seminar. Both of us knew that we existed but had never [...]
