‘Farmville’ is the new thing on Facebook with tons of people playing the game. I’ve been on it for some time now. I am currently at the level 15! (That’s like the mid stage of the game). The more one plays the game, the more hooked one gets to it. It got me thinking that [...]

 
I was reading an interesting update from silicon India. It said that 42% people in offices spy on their colleagues! Here is the link for the article

It got me thinking about how we leave a very personal imprint on the internet that is just waiting for anyone and everyone to look up. Social & professional [...]

I got shot 8 times and lived to tell the tale. One can probably never say that in real life…. But with Paint ball all is possible!!
Paint ball is a relatively new phenomenon in India, so some of you might not know what it really is… for those who do know, please skip the [...]

A few minutes of telly watching in canada and one would get to see multiple adds on debt counselling, bankruptcy help, help with bad credit history and cash for jewellery! I mean I know there’s a global meltdown and people across the world are adversely affected… but this?!

The effective implementation of this ban would enable non smokers to finally [...]

I’m currently reading Gregory David Robert’s ‘Shantaram’. It’s an interesting book, albeit slow and meandering, but interesting none the less. For me, having stayed in Mumbai for a bit, it is especially more interesting as it chronicles many fascinating things about Mumbai that I did not know / have never heard of. One of these [...]

It’s been some time since I read Malcolm Galdwell’s ‘Blink’. At the time when I read it, I thought it was an eye opener. I especially liked his stories/ examples on how instinctively, without even knowing it, we make decisions about people, races, and things in the blink of an eye. In the book, some [...]

I’ve always wondered about this whole human life experience. We are born, have a few carefree years of childhood, a few anxious years of teenage, many stressful years of working and many blissful/cantankerous (depends on one is happily married or not) years of married/ single life and then we’re done. Heavenly gates are hopefully there [...]

As in all great designs, there is a very thought through carefulness to the whole randomness of life. At first glance it would appear arbitrary, random, but beneath it all is an intricate design waiting to be glanced upon, understood.
In terms of art, many would have experienced this with the great works of Woodsworth [...]
