By the time I publish this post, it would be roughly about half an hour late. Regardless… On Facebook, there’s an option to share your likes–music, TV, sports teams, etc. And then there’s an option to highlight the people who inspire you. And I couldn’t think of anyone except the following: Happy Birthday, dad.

I realised last night while watching a movie that as long as it’s interesting, it captures my full attention. I am less inclined to make comments or try to deflect attention to myself. Not the same with ads, though. Nope, never. As I was telling a very pretty girl yesterday, 95% of the advertisements on [...]

In the past, I’d frequently surmise that man’s greatest gift is his ability to forget the bad experiences and remember the good ones…at least, in general. Now, I think maybe that’s not the case. I don’t understand how nostalgia works, though. Because when you feel nostalgic about the past, don’t all your past experiences seem [...]

Windows 7 Media Player Is it just me or does Media Player 12 (bundled with Windows 7) really not have equaliser or other sound enhancement options? What kind of self-respecting media player doesn’t allow the listener to improve the bass or treble, at the very least? Makes me miss Quintessential all the more. That being [...]

There are 2 Bombays—one that I fell in love with last year, and one that I’m beginning to grow wary of this year. Last year’s Bombay was convenient, a short and passionate love affair. It involved a quiet walk early morning from the Wilson College hostel to the near-by Charni Road station (or a minimum [...]

I walk up the stairs, close the door behind me. Throw the laptop backpack gently on the sofa. Unbuttoning my shirt, I walk towards the home computer, waking it up from sleep. In a few seconds, I hit the “Play” button. The air around me vibrates gently, in slow motion, then picks up speed. The [...]

Twenty four hours to go. I have a bit of flair for the dramatic; bear with me. In about twenty-four hours, the plane will take off from the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, Hyderabad, and land at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Airport in Bombay, where I’m going to start the first phase of my work life (not [...]

So, I could write a lot of posts regarding our many adventures/misadventures during the Sikkim trip I went on with a few XLRI friends, but what I’ll do instead is to post, exactly as it was written, the daily log I was maintaining of the trip on the phone. Just so that you have an [...]

End-term exams are done. Term V at XLRI has officially ended. Term VI begins on December 13. So instead of going home these holidays, I’m going for a short break with friends. Gangtok, Sikkim. According to schedule, we’ll be there on 6 December, in time for lunch. Sounds like fun, a hell of a lot [...]

I’m going to have to keep this one really short because I have no time to write a proper post. Too many B-schools advocate “academic rigour”. A 30-hour contact course in XLRI supposedly requires 70 hours of work outside the classroom. We have 7.5 courses this term (one of them is a 4.5-credit course as [...]
