I was having a conversation with my roommate the other day, and I told him about one more thing I had done that I could cross off my list of things to do before I die. I then mockingly lamented that I’m running out of things, and I have nothing to look forward to living [...]

Recently, my trusted companions, the love of my life, my earphones … stopped working. Having faithfully served me for … I don’t remember how long (but more than 2 years for sure), the left earphone stopped working a few days back. I spent some time going through eBay and trying to see if I could [...]

Applaud the brave, because very few people have the courage to write what they want without thinking about the consequences. “Political correctness be damned in favour of direct dil se” seems to be the motto of a few people I know. They wear their hearts on their folded sleeves, collar buttons undone behind the tie [...]

I’ve got end-term exams from tomorrow. I’ve barely studied, but these are subjects for which you can barely study at the last minute. I am feeling fairly confident about having paid enough attention in class and about having got a good enough idea about the subjects. That, after all, is what education is all about, [...]

I’ve written time and again that life’s a female dog (hey, being politically correct never got anyone in trouble!). But every now and then, life bowls you a googly (it’s the cricket equivalent of a baseball curveball, I guess), such that life does not suck. It’s completely unexpected, especially if you’re half as cynical as [...]

The. Rat. Race. I’ve been trying to avoid these 3 words in my posts of late. It’s become a fashion statement now to throw these 3 words into any phrase, into any piece of writing about the ills of the corporate world. It’s like a really bad, really sad, overused cliché. Take anything and blame [...]

This is what happens to you when you haven’t been getting enough sleep: You wake up feeling tired, you go through the whole day feeling tired, you go to bed feeling tired. It takes all the strength in your body to sit up in bed when you wake up in the morning. And when you [...]

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 [...]
