Heres to new beginnings!
After a very hectic week, followed by a fabulous weekend with no access to Internet, I am back. It feels like its been such a long time..
..may be because it is spring now. The winter is finally over and after a few days of hovering between both sides of 0 C, we are now [...]
I wish I could..
- do an “undo” when I take the wrong turn and end up in an unknown street.- cut one bean and do a click&drag for all the beans to cut according to the same formula.- upload my clothes and shoes to a central location before I travel and download them from wherever I am, when [...]
Joey
I just watched the latest episode of Joey and its laughs and guffaws all the way. The series started started off slow, but I think after about the eleventh episode, the comedy really picks up. I was one of those who were skeptical when they canned Friends and started Joey. Afterall Chandler was my favourite. [...]
The joy in numbers
A picture may be worth a thousand words, but numbers tell a thousand stories.
Thanks to the number of people who get dooced, this post will be intentionally vague. And I will reflect on a slightly off tangent, yet related topic - the joy I find in numbers. There are various reasons why humans have an [...]
To seek a feather in the bush
The immortal words of Kahlil Gibran:

A reason to smile
Overheard:
“Smile. People will wonder what you are smiling at.”
Now thats a good reason to smile.
Confusion O confusion
There are certain things that most people take for granted that I have to think for a moment. Like for example, the floor that I need to go to - do I count the ground floor as 1 or 0? I rem when I was a kid, we used to count ground as 0, and [...]
Like a fat kid in a candy store
One of things about living in a country where you cant get English books is that you cant make impulse buys on books. I read about them and order them via my personal book delivery service. I get my books every weekend from Amsterdam. This weekend, I had a surprise in store, “Parallel Worlds” by [...]
NRI: The Non Returning Indian?
NRIs moving back to India is not the solution to India’s problems and let this not be the scapegoat that everyone turns to when they need one.
I was doing my friendly rounds around the blogsphere when I came across this article titled “Des, Pardes: NRIs Can Have Best of Both Worlds“. It is interesting and [...]
