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 [...]

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 [...]

Back when I was in 9th class (or was it 10th?), Hyderabad witnessed furious rains that flooded a small open drain (the best English translation of nala I could come up with) in Begumpet, which caused school to be shut down for about a week or so. This happened very close to exam time, and [...]

I’ve just been thinking about why people make a big deal about some of the things in their lives…almae matres being the prime focus of my thoughts, to be more accurate. I’ve heard stories about the pride people take in being in XLRI. I’ve heard about alumni who return to campus, and apparently some of [...]

When was the last time you filled out a questionnaire and one of the questions was “5 things you can’t live without”? How many times have you read someone else’s list and found a few clichés that seem to permeate a lot of lists…music, laptop, phone, etc.
On my list, I’ve often included some, if not [...]

It’s 10:50 am. I’m sitting in my room and listening to music from the soundtrack of the game Need for Speed: Underground on my Creative SBS A300 2.1 speaker system with sub-woofer. I’m quite relaxed because there’s no scary deadline in my face, my room-mate is asleep on his bed, and the room is nice [...]

It’s fun to blog, it really is. It’s fun when you have something to write about…something interesting that others would enjoy reading, something that you’d enjoy writing about. Nothing gives more pleasure to a blogger than getting positive comments (or any comments at all, for that matter) on something he (or she) wrote. It means [...]

Check it out.
It’s 0038 hours, Tuesday Aug 18, 2009. Before I sleep, I have to:
Write my Managerial Economics Personal Learning Paper (Assignment 1), for which I need to read an article that I have to find online and then write how much of the article I have understood. The good news is that I think [...]

I’ve caught a cold and I might catch a fever too, because every now and then I feel like I’m getting very slightly feverish. Hmm…maybe I’m hoping that I’ll get fever too. I’m not looking forward to going to college tomorrow, and the strange thing is that there’s no reason not to, really. Sure, there’s [...]

Living in India, I hear a lot about the stars not being aligned right, the days being bad (or good), and a whole lot of other supersticious beliefs. I am not imprudent enough to dismiss them outright, but I personally don’t believe much in that kind of stuff…at least I didn’t until what happened today [...]
