My Art of Living

Apr. 13th | Posted by 1 comments
Recently, I have had a decent amount of time to think about life, universe and everything else. Over the past couple of years, plenty of stuff has happened around me which has finally brought me down to this realisation. Please note that this applies to me and me only (though it may also apply to [...]

And everything is right with the world …

Apr. 3rd | Posted by 0 comments
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 [...]

Entrepreneurship?

Feb. 28th | Posted by 0 comments
I was invited today to give a talk at SITM (which stands for Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management). The college is situated at the Symbiosis International University campus at Lavale, Pune which is a very picturesque location (set on the top of a hill) on the way to Lavasa. Though approach roads and some other [...]

The Value of Life …

Jan. 18th | Posted by 4 comments
After a lot of thought and deliberation and musings, I have concluded that: “The value of a life is directly proportional to the number of people it touches in a good way and inversely proportional to the number of people it touches in a negative way.” When you are gone, the summation of the loss [...]

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. [...]

The logic of spending money …

Apr. 7th | Posted by 6 comments
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 [...]

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 [...]

Let there be light …

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 [...]

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 [...]
