Posted on 27 Feb 2010 under Site Designing

Back when I was still doing engineering, I had plenty of time to devote to the design and upkeep of this site. It was one of the things I enjoyed a lot, designing and customizing themes to suit me to the dot. After starting MBA, obviously I haven’t had the time to do any of [...]

On random play (as usual), my media player put on Pearl Jam’s “Garden“. Before I describe what it made me feel, let me describe how the day has progressed so far. I woke up late today, because after about a week of an extremely tight schedule, we finally have a couple of light days, today [...]

More Nostalgia!

After a long, long time, I woke up early a couple of days back to study for that afternoon’s Production Management mid-term exam. It was a glorious grey sky morning, cool and peaceful. It might be a huge coincidence, but every time I have a test or exam for which I’m not 100% prepared, the [...]

One of Those Days

Posted on 01 Feb 2010 under Journal/Life Updates, XLRI

Life and I more than occasionally share a hate-hate relationship. I’ve often said that life is a female dog. Really, though, it’s a roller-coaster ride with a crazed loon on drugs at the controls. Every once in a while, life surprises you by sending you a hell of a day, and I mean that in [...]
