The Next Generation is here

Today a friend’s friend Y was telling us about her 5 year old nephew. Apparently this loveable kid was being remonstrated at home, and guess for what. He bought the same X-box game twice on eBay. (He just won the bids, he didn’t pay for them, Y tells me amusedly.)
Now lets wait here for a [...]

The Tiny Lady in the Toilet

No, its not metaphorical. And no, its not a joke.
My company is a nice place to work. Really. The people are damn smart, the environment is competitive yet casual, and I can wear my jeans and sneakers to office every darn day.
But then, God save you if you have to pee between three and four [...]

Sector 14

I always worried that I would go back to campus after a few years, as a prestigious ‘alumnus’ of the institution, where people would address me as Sir, serve me coffee in the Placecom waiting room, and herd me to presentation rooms and guest houses. When all I wanted was mess chai and walks on [...]

Shanghai, in pictures

Shanghai, in a cold Chinese winter :) And a conference to remember. Couldn’t see much of the city, because of the work and the cold, but it’s years ahead of Mumbai, not as clean as Singapore, and is HUGE. Visited the Bund, Pearl Centre, and walked along the riverside. Froze my ass off [...]

A Blast from the Past

You know one of those moments where a word, a phrase, a photo or even a smell takes you years back, into the days long forgotten. That is what happened with me today.

A quick post (there you go Bhanu…)

Single guys cant find love. Lovers cant commit. The committed cant marry. The married cant love. The married and in love cant be happy because someone else is more satisfied. The satisfied cant let go of the past because they were hurt. The hurt cant love because they are afraid…… We surpass ourselves in finding [...]

The Day I left Bombay. Twice.

5th January 2008. I’m still sleepy, groggy and quite irritable at 6 frickin’ o’clock in the morning. But what to do. Four hundred sing dollars can buy me a ticket only in good old Air India, and they can put me only on a 7.45 AM flight to Singapore. After canceling the flight that I [...]
