(Untitled)
I am back from my 12-day trip and I thought I should pen down a few things before I forget most parts of the trip. To be honest, I could probably simplify my overall experience as "plane-deplane-check in-meetings-check out". However, amidst all that hectic and tiresome work, the trip also had its fair share of fun. Thanks to folks at work and to ( Read more... ) -
Random Update
If things go as per plan, I will be making my second trip to the US next week. The first one happened exactly a year ago (well almost around the same time, if not exactly). Unlike the last trip, this one is going to be short and busy. I expect plenty of traveling to happen during my two week stay, including a coast to coast trip from New York to ( Read more... ) -
The importance of an online presence
When I get woken up at 8 on a Saturday morning, I am fairly certain that there's something happening at home which requires my exclusive attention and which my highly resourceful and fiercely independent parents can't handle on their own. After having fended off two attempts made by dad to wake me up, I finally relented to his third attempt, ( Read more... ) -

May be I am not as hopeless as I thought I was. Or may be I am. Hmm.. -
A slap for Kricket ?
For all those women who felt robbed by the Indian Premier League of their favourite saas-bahu kahaniyaans, the Harbhajan-Sreesanth episode offers a glimmer of hope. For close to a decade, prime time television viewing in India had been dominated by women who wouldn't hesitate to keep their kitchens closed and their husbands and sons starving, just ( Read more... ) -
Royal Challengers and other stuff
Either the Royal Challengers are having way too much "bitti" (free) beer or they are suffering from the South African choking syndrome. Boucher's shot that got him out today was probably the most mindless adventure that you could expect from the batsman of his stature. Dale Steyn must be wondering whether this was the same country he had toured ( Read more... ) -
Royal Challengers....

Slander
Ever since I wrote this post in December 2007, I have made 14 more entries in this journal of mine. That is quite a huge number, considering that I am not very passionate about writing and blogging. But then I tend to take everything that I am involved in very seriously, including things that I am not passionate about. tch. Last week I decided to ( Read more... )
