My friend, Jax, tweeted today:
At the post office, the only counter that has business is the one for bills payment. Times have changed…
This set me off thinking, and I thought about all the things that we take for granted, Emails, Cell-phones, The internet, everything! Our whole life has changed, but still a lot of us [...]

Everything is amazing and nobody is happy
Multi-level humbug
I am really getting mighty irritated with these multi-level marketing guys, the type where you are supposed to make millions without working your ass off. I had this friend from high-school, and we were good friends and then I lost all contact from him for a few years. Then, all of a sudden, I met [...]
Into the new year
I have started into the new year with a lot of non-resolutions, which I set almost every year and even then, do not adhere to them. One thing is procrastination, which I am beginning to overcome finally.. Atleast, thats what I think I am doing. My biggest pain is starting off something, the [...]
The Law of the Garbage Truck
Got this via Email.
How often do you let other people’s nonsense change your mood?
Do you let a bad driver, rude waiter, curt boss, or an insensitive colleague ruin your day? Unless you’re a robot, you are bound to blow your top off. However, the mark of a successful person is how quickly he or [...]
So, What have I been upto?
I have been a little too occupied these days with exams and a little work that was lagging behind schedule! Have some last minute official commitments to complete before the start of the new year.

The Arrow of Time
During one of my sojourns on the Internet, I came across this web page, aptly titled “The Arrow of Time”. It is a web page which was put up by an Argentinian Photographer, Diego Golberg where he and his family took a picture of themselves every year on the 17th of June since 1976. The [...]
Baggage weight-loss program
My room-mate Mohan started for Sweden on official business last night, and there was no power at our place during that time. I came in around 10 PM to find the house in partial darkness, only our house, the only light inside being that of an emergency lamp. He bid good-bye and left for the [...]
To the moon and back
Over the past two weeks, I fell sick and had to be hospitalized in order to recuperate! I was diagnosed with Dengue and was also told that my platelet count was very low and I needed transfusion for my well-being. But as luck was on my side, I recuperated on my own! Then my super-dad [...]
