I spent a good hour at Landmark (which is a pretty large bookstore in our city) the other day – having nothing to do. I ended up buying two books even though I entered the shop with the intent of just casually browsing through the store and passing some time … While browsing, I had [...]

Please do not use network solutions for searching for domain names. And I mean DO NOT with caps in bold … This is what happened – and it is my worst nightmare come true! I wanted to book this domain name today – saga2008.com and I went to search for it on network solutions which [...]

There have been umpteen number of times I have really stopped blogging. And being the really lazy person that I am, I always tend to post some crap as to how I will start blogging (regularly) soon – and then eventually, I stop again.

Today has been a pretty horrendous day actually … We had no electricity for almost 12 hours … From about 12 in the afternoon to about 12 now … It is a pretty sad experience really – something we haven’t faced for a while … There was a time – about a year ago, when [...]

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 [...]

I think I am finally in that place, where I can start blogging again … The past couple of months have been pretty hectic – and everytime I thought I’d start writing, I would realise I had something better to do … As you can expect, some important stuff happened since the last time I [...]

This is to inform all you people who doubted me – I finally finished Atlas Shrugged! Woohoo !!! Okay, I shamelessly took 2 years and 2 attempts (the first time I gave up mid way at the John Galt speech) to finish it, but I finally did it last week and just wanted to pat [...]

I am generally a pretty punctual guy (though results may vary sometimes) I do get to places within a couple of minutes of the scheduled time – and then spend 30 minutes waiting for other people to show up … All this waiting experience, has given me qualities of a saint and one thing I [...]
