While in XLRI, Gadre and I used to try to figure out what others used to obsess about. And just for fun, we used to call it everyone’s personal OCD. A couple of lecturers, for instance, were “OCD about time” (i.e. ensuring that their class began and ended at exactly the right time, down to [...]

People will let you down, someday, in their own way. Because people are humans (most of them), and the underlying characteristic of humans is that we are imperfect. These imperfections cause mistakes. Mistakes lead to hurt, anger, disappointment. This is just the way things are. You can thank me now for stating an obvious conclusion [...]

Whenever something big happens in my life, I normally take some time before reacting. It takes a while for things to “sink in”, so to speak. I’m not sure why this is. Sometimes, it can take days, like when my time at XLRI was coming to an end. A lot of times, when something happens, [...]

Trapt is a very mediocre band. They have songs which are within the ideal 3:30 to 5:00 duration. Almost all their songs follow a formulaic “verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus” format. Their lyrics are not earth-shattering. The lead singer is not super talented. The guitarist doesn’t do solos or leads (actually, there might be one or two odd ones [...]

In XLRI, a lot of people were passionate about photography. I think photography’s cool. I like the idea of capturing a moment from the right angle, ensuring the right content goes into it.

As much as it pains me to admit, they probably deserved it. Liverpool’s transformation is beginning to look very solid under the guidance of Kenny Dalglish. As he said after the match, they’re not yet a team that would be challenging for the title, but I think they’ll get there. In my opinion, I’m not [...]
