Just let it go
Some time back, I was recalling what Sabeer Bhatia had observed when his much hyped Aarzoo had to see the end of the road- “I do not want to put $1 from my pocket to keep it alive”. Well, this was from a person who had made quite a deal from Microsoft for his Hotmail.
It [...]

This was the movie I saw a few days back…actually its title is longer than I have mentioned in the title, a reference to a certain colony which bears little or no significance to the story line. I saw this movie because couple of blogs mentioned about it, and also because Nbk got the CD. [...]

Delayed Childhood
During school days/ college days after vacation my fellow friends were disappointed and bored at the thought of getting back to school or college. I used to pity the weeping kids being dragged to schools by their mothers on the first day of reopening. I used to wonder about the difference in reaction by me [...]

Blogshares
Shares. Blogs. Two things all over my mind (currently).
And I stumble upon this site. ‘Virtual’ trading of blogs !! This is height !
Remember the good old board game of Money? Virtual bank that gave money to start business. Buying cities (metros-which didnt include Blore- were costly that time), building bunglows, renting bunglows, giving/taking loan … [...]

Who are you ???
One of the presentation tips is to “Define audience”. I have absolutely no clue who is reading this blog, if at all someone is (except those regular good people). I understand that blogging is not ‘presenting’ and I continue writing things like these and others that appeal to me and at a frequency that suits [...]

Home update
I helped pollination of few vanila flowers. It is delicate work to peel the flower, lift and place pollen grain on stigma. We had just grown it for curiousity and fun. But is a strong source of economy for few farmers.
Vanila, the scent used in icecreams, looks like beans. Costly crop it is, for a [...]

Cricket and philanthrophy
Two beneficial matches for Tsunami victims - I had groaned at the news. Can’t our players give a part (small part) of what they have already earned ? I mean, do I get to earn a day extra and paid extra so that I can donate? Or do I just keep aside a part [...]

This was one of the best things that I did in between my tight work schedule. Taking my time off during the compilation of our software, I attended python meet that was held at Thought works office. Pradeep keeps talking about Python, I didn’t want to loose an opppurtunity to learn its basics. It was [...]
