What do we look for in a job?
An interesting article in FT by Lucy Kellaway titled “Thrusting young careerists give the lie to ‘Generation Y‘” caught my attention - I disagree with several points that the author makes in the article, but it sure prompted me to think about what we look for in a job - after all the real war [...]
Happy Holidays
I wish you and your loved ones a very happy holiday season and a fabulous new year.
Thank you & Good Bye
Today I bid adieu to many things that were a part of my life - the blog being just one of them.

A day of silence
Silent Eloquence is observing a day of mourning, in view of the heinous bombings at London.
I offer my sincere prayers and wishes to victims and their families.
Discovering German joys
Came across this wonderful piece by Andrew Hammel in German joys via Washington Monthly via Venk@.
As someone who used to think working 12 hours a day and then some more on the weekends was pretty normal, I can easily say the one thing that took me the longest to adjust to here [...]
