Apr. 18th | Posted by 3 comments
Recently, I had the privilege of attending the match between Pune Warriors and the Chennai Super Kings at the newly built Subrata Roy Stadium here in Pune. Thought about sharing my experiences here. So, a couple of friends and me decided to go for this match – which  took place on the 14th of April, [...]

So where were you when India won the world cup? This is one of those defining moments in history that all of us — who were present and witnessed it — will probably remember for the rest of our lives (unless India makes a habit of winning world cups) Looking back at the last couple [...]

Kolkata Trip–Day 2

Dec. 18th | Posted by 0 comments
As every great day begins, mine too started with a visit to the neighbourhood market to buy the freshest vegetables at 7:30 in the morning with my uncle (mama). 7:30 was pretty late by Kolkata standards as people come by around 5:30ish to get a shot at the choicest and freshest vegetables. However, by the [...]

My fabulous Kolkata trip –Day 1

Dec. 16th | Posted by 0 comments
So we finally made it to our Kolkata Vacation with my folks – something that has been pending (and getting cancelled) for one reason or the other since the last three years. We took a SpiceJet flight from Pune to Kolkata (via Delhi). The flight was okay but I somehow felt that the seats were [...]

Why is the state of the Indian education system depressing?

Jul. 31st | Posted by 4 comments
I was in IIT Powai a couple of months ago for a workshop in marketing which lasted a couple of days. As such, we were put up in the in-campus residential suites for guests – which to say the least, blew my mind! The hostel (2 people staying in a room) was nothing less than [...]

Parking hassles

Jan. 8th | Posted by 3 comments
I have off late started judging businesses depending on their parking policies. No seriously! If you see some of the extreme arm-twisting techniques and prices some of these malls use, it’s unbelievable. Firstly, charging for parking is illegal (I think) and yet everyone does it! But if you think about it, we Indians being the [...]

The thing about life getting back to normal …

This happened the last time – and I bet it will happen again once the dust and smoke settles down. Last time, people commended – how life went back to normal and the resilient nature of the people of Mumbai India. It is actually sad that people approve of how life gets back to normal. [...]

Talking pictures …

Mar. 21st | Posted by 3 comments
One thing I love to do – sometimes even more than reading is watching films. In my humble opinion, a good film talks to you at so many different levels and takes you to so many different places in those 120 minutes – that nothing else compares to it. Well, there are books of course [...]

When life gives you lemons …

I met up with a friend of mine recently who is working with this big multinational company. Lets assign this company a completely random name – just because I am too lazy and don’t want to keep typing it again and again … Umm .. lets call it TM. Okay … So this friend of [...]

You can't have your cake and eat it too …

Aug. 4th | Posted by 2 comments
If you really think about it, India is in a pretty mixed up place – economy wise … We’re nowhere near a capitalist economy – nor are we entirely communist either … We are somewhere in between … I am talking about this because of late, there have been incidents in my life – caused [...]
